Kinzu v2, Kinzu v2 Pro and Kana - Page 89

post #881 of 1396

I'm glad to see that Steelseries finally made the Kana firmware available but with an added bonus of including the Kinzu V2 firmware update along with it.

The new Kinzu V2 Pro firmware is 149

The new Kana firmware is 259

If you check the firmware and it says something lower and it refuses to update then uninstall the Steelseries engine and reinstall it with the mouse plugged in and it should update it for you. My beta Kana refused to update even after trying the firmware repair tool and checking for device/engine updates but a reinstall flashed it for me.

Now neither of these mice suffer from the jump bug.

Good news, then these mouses are usable at last(<=800DPI).thumb.gif
BTW, how were the DPI-steps above 800DPI on the Kinzu v2 then?

1600 is fine, 3200 is fail. The Kinzu V2 Pro is still stuck with Intellimouse like perfect control speed though mad.gif.

Meh, I'm finding it hard to decide between better switches (v2 pro) and better malfunction speed (Kana)jealoussmiley.gif

So since the bug is fixed. Which mouse would you guys recommend between G400 (v2) or Kana? Which is better for low, mid, or high sensitivity? Which has better feet? Thanks!

I have the new G400 and the tracking is really good. I just like the intellimouse shape much better. Not sure to go with Kana or stick with G400.

I have been waiting for kana since I saw it, but tbh it seems like a fail in buildquality, switches etc.

I got a question about the Kinz v2 Pro.
Can you use the "dpi" button as a "back" command like normal 5 button mouses?
On My logitech G1 the dpi button works as Back without drivers installed, is it the same for kinzu?


Can't windows without it !

Still interested in kana though, since its all glossy, been missing that since explorer, tired of all rubber crap biggrin.gif

I found the D2FC-F-7Ns to be easier to control bursts in FPS games vs the TTCs. Good luck in your decision.

is it possible for the v2 pro to be updated so that the perfect control speed is as good as Kana ?

Those who like to play with highsens should get the kinzu v2 then, and those who like to play lowsens should get the kana.
