Kinzu v2, Kinzu v2 Pro and Kana - Page 136

The original Kinzu had a very low cost sensor and hardware package propped in a gaming mouse.
The V2 uses the same sensor as the kana, but it's not quite the same performance due to magnification changes offered by the main manufacturer. Refer to my sticky for an explanation.
In terms of performance, the Kinzu v2 is quite fine @ 400-1600 DPI. Max speed performance is quite low peaking out around 70 IPS.
The Kana will do fine at 400 and 800 DPI. 1600 cursor accuracy is quite messy and the 3200 range is interpolated from that "messy" setting. In terms of max speed, it will do around 130 IPS. Quite fine for most gaming situations.
Judging by your settings the Kinzu v2 will be fine.
I actually wonder if you could successfully blind test a lot of 10 or so mice of the same model (different batches) and correctly pick the ones with japan branded D2F. wink.gif
I'm leaning towards a very low chance ^^

Thanks for you post much appreciated smile.gif

I'm still a noob when it comes to online gaming, I'm still contemplating if I should keep my Zowie AM. In CS:GO ingame sensitivity is 1.57 and I tried with DPI 2300 on my mouse, this gives me 10cm for 360.

I actually played at 1150 dpi and 1.57 ingame now it is 20cm/360 but it feels slow as hell turning around and so on, I'm used to just move my wrist only but now with 1150dpi I have to use my arm which is not necessary a bad thing, my aim might have become slightly better at the cost of having a eternity to rotate lol biggrin.gif

Someone posted that the Kinzu is just as thin as Zowie AM, I don not believe this is the case.

I own the Zowie AM and in bottom it is 65mm and in the tinnest spot it is 58mm, looking at this picture the Zowie AM is 4th from 2nd row and the Kinzu is last from 2nd row, now the kinzu has much less change in wideness compared to the AM, I would guess it is 64mm in bottom and maybe 61-62mm in thinnes spot.

I can get a brand new Kinzu V1 cheap, I'm considering also buying a used Razer DA and building myself a Kinzu adder if the feel of the Kinzu is good on my hand smile.gif

I could find them with ease actually.
the responsiveness is alot different compared to D2-FC's, it also keeps the special feeling through different mice(kinzuadder and G400 here).
It's like the D2F-01f have no travel at all until they click .
post #1355 of 1396
Or so you say. smile.gif I used to think I could tell the difference too!


Then... A few different batches of Omrons changed my perpective.


Lets just say I rather cherry pick some nice D2FC branded switches over taking random D2F's for a joy ride ^^

I'm trying out playing FPS games with low sensitivity on my one color standard black SS Qck pad.

My understandin on the problem with Kinzu v2 Pro is malfunction to my understanding when making big swipes with arm(?).
Currently I'm trying out 30cm/360, but I might go even lower maybe even 60cm/360.

I guess att 60cm/360 at most I would make a 180 turn so 30cm in one big fast swipe maybe causes malfunction with the Kinzu v2 pro(?)

ps. I like the matte V2 but seems like the pro version has 50% teflon and omron switch meh meh.

No mention of the Kana DoTA2 edition yet in this thread. Anyone know if it uses omron switches? It appears to have a rubber top and same feet as Kinzu v2 pro. http://steelseries.com/products/games/dota2/steelseries-kana-dota-2-edition-bundle

I'm about the order a Kinzu V2 Pro, are all 3 colors same amount of glossines?

according this youtube video the Kinzu v2 pro silver is less glossy then kana.
But I like the colors Red and black v2 pro more but if the silver is less glossy I will buy that one instead.

I'd appreciate some advice,
Thanks in advance

My understanding is that the Omron Japan is a popular switch on these forums.
I would imagine there is screw under mouse that needs to be unscrewed, they migh be hidden.

Most likely the warranty is voided.
