They should've improved the LCD underneath the mouse instead of adding a fucking customiseable LED on the scroll wheel (and on the body of the mouse, which you won't ever see though because that's where your hand is supposed to be).
Also who the hell needs 11400CPI?

Regardless, seems like a Xai 2.0, if/when my Xai breaks I'll probably consider that. I really like the shape on this and that one seems to have the same body.

E: The processor is an interesting thing though.... Some firmware hacks, and really sophisticated in-mouse aimbots and stuff, anyone? Although seeing the lack of specs it's probably nothing too revolutionary in reality.
absolutely awful, they should have decreased the weight of the xai by removing the lcd display, instead they fucking add leds so that this mouse will be even heavier -,-

+ some other things nobody expect the guys at esreality.com care about
here, at crossfire, nobody besides shuki and h8m3 (and me hihi) has got any clue (well some good players like perfo and meez have some knowledge on that matter, but not as much as those guys mentioned above imo)

I dunno, the weight of a mouse isn't really an issue to me.
Of course the sensor problems people like h8m3 keep whining about are not nice, but even if there was some acceleration, it's so minimal that it's practically nonexistant. The polling rate is stable too, contrary to what some people claim.

In the end, it all boils down to personal preference. I think the LCD is a nice idea, as I don't need to install any kinds of drivers at all with it, but some might find it useless.
Parent
the weight of the xai is more than we quakers desire tbh.

that useless screen only has downsides: it weights quite a bit and it makes for a good reason to sell the product for ridiculous amounts of money.

I don't consider the positive accel (which is a fact) as an issue, but I do consider having heavy issues with it when using a cloth mousepad (particularly caused by dust) as a really big downside.
Parent
I'm using a cloth mousepad, and apart from the occasional hair in the sensor (which I either remove by tweezers or by blowing) it tracks fine.

But anyway, it's just personal preference. I'm fine with laser mice, while many people avoid them like a plague. I'm also fine with heavier mice, while some people don't like them at all (is it because you need to lift it a lot or what?). Mice are like shoes, you should use whatever you find comfortable for your purposes.
Parent
nope, I'm actually a high senser just like most quakers
we don't lift our mice a lot
but comfort and fast flicking demands a low weight
for et a bit heavier mouse is actually preferred (I can't play ET very well with i.e. a salmosa / abyssus / kinzu / wmo etc. - they are all too light for my taste)
Parent
Oh and another thing is that they are technically using the on-board CPU to double the dpi (which is in fact just doubling your sensitivity in this case). The sensor is still the same as on the Xai and is able to perform at max 5700 dpi.

I wrote a new comment to make sure you notice the new info.
Parent
Haha, that's what I call bullshit (not your claim, but them doing that). Although I can't see anyone using a DPI that high anyways.
Parent
they should make a kinzuadder (kinzu + flawless sensor = kinzu v2), than they would score big money amongst quakers

but that's not gonna happen because if a mouse would actually have no issues at all (great shape, weight, cable, sensor, buttons, scroll, microswitches etc. etc.) people would stop buying new mice.

every mouse has its issues, even the oh-so-perfect abyssus (gamble with getting a good/bad sample of it)
Parent
who needs 11400 DPI anyways?
and still no x/y sens?
m_pitch m_yaw
Parent
i bet steelseries sell their products only to et players so theres no need for that as long as we have m_pitch and m_yaw -_-'
Parent
Just about every game allows you to customise those... But yah, them being customiseable isn't really an excuse to not offer hardware support for them.
Parent
xai + marketing
Pretty much yeah, although the lift distance is a welcome-ish change.

I also wish they made the sensor easier to clean, at the moment (in Xai) it's a ridicilous invagination and it's hard to clean thoroughly. In Ikari, it was "shallower" so that you could just wipe it clean using a piece of cloth.
Parent
idd with the lift distance.as for the sensor, din't had any problems with it till now (using xai over 1 year now) used it on razer mantis speed and now on a puretrak.
as well as my previous ikari mouse :)
Parent
gentlemen, that mouse has over nine thousand cpi
