Little known to the general public, in the mouse world SteelSeries is a renowned manufacturer, a reference for demanding users and gamers alike. Its strengths are high quality functionality, a sober design (as opposed to many of its competitors), and good finishing, despite minor premature ageing issues on previous models. To top it all off, the Kinzu v2 Pro has one other advantage that consumers will enjoy: a reasonable price. With the v2 Pro, SteelSeries is offering a top-tier mouse at an entry-level price. So what exactly has the company trimmed off to bring us such a low price? For the body shape, SteelSeries has reprised a well-known and much-loved mouse: the SteelSeries Xai, one of the best on the market. The difference this time is that the surface coating has changed. We received two versions to test, one smooth, grey and shiny, and the other (which we prefer) black and matte. Unfortunately, it has lost the side buttons and retained the old bug common to SteelSeries mice: when you tilt the scroll wheel to the side, it feels like it's working, but onscreen nothing happens. All the SteelSeries scroll wheels seem to be afflicted by this same issue—it's high time they did something about it! We prefer the black one! The sensor has changed, too. There's no more laser; this one's an LED model.
Out of the gaming mouse triumvirate of the SteelSeries Sensei, Kana and the Kinzu, it is the latter that is designed to be the smallest. The SteelSeries Kinzu V2 Pro Edition loses the two extra buttons on each side that the Katu and the Sensei enjoy. But it retains the comfortable, ambidextrous design of the other two mice, while being slightly smaller - though, crucially, still comfortable to hold. Like the Katu, however, the SteelSeries Kinzu V2 Pro Edition feels rather lightweight, which gives it an unfortunate cheap feel that the Sensei mouse doesn't suffer from. The centre button, just below the scroll wheel, switches between two CPI settings - less than the other mice, but still useful if you want to quickly change the sensitivity of the mouse on the fly. The Steelengine software needs to be downloaded before you can fully customise the mouse. Straight out of the box, though, it's fast, smooth and responsive. Verdict The SteelSeries Kinzu V2 Pro Edition isn't a bad gaming mouse at all, but if you're really serious about gaming then it'll be worth paying a bit more for the excellent Sensei.
