Late last week SteelSeries unveiled three new products: the SteelSeries Kinzu Optical Mouse, the SteelSeries 9HD mouse pad, and their latest flagship product, the SteelSeries Xai Laser Mouse.

The Xai will feature a 10.8 megapixel per second sensor, which is capable of processing 12,000 frames per second at 5,001 CPI at a movement speed of 150 inches per second. And, for further personalization, it’ll come with SteelSeries ExactAim, SteelSeries ExactRate, SteelSeries ExactSens, SteelSeries FreeMove and automatic lift distance calibration. But, most importantly, it’ll come equipped with an LCD on the back, so that you can store all your settings within the mouse itself, instead of having to reinstall drivers on every machine that you use.

There’s no word yet on how much these will cost, but they’re slated for an August release.

avatarHow does this compare to the Razer Lachesis?

While I love the Lachesis accuracy it doesn't fit my hand well. It has a big/tall back end where your palm rests.

I first used the Logitech G5 and hated it. It would not run that well, stop and go as it pleased. Now I am using the Revolution and have never looked back. It's awesome. They should stop making all these different types of mice. You really can't do that much more to a mouse that has already been done before.

I've had the Logitech G5 for 3 years now without a single hitch! It runs smoothly and with no issues and it's fantastic in everyday use as well as gaming! Not sure why you had any issue with yours. Seems odd. Almost like you had a bad mouse. I won't have another mouse until this rodent bytes the dust!

At first glance, the new mouse sort of resembles a deathadder. I haven't tried any steelseries products so this may be a good time to try them out.

Honestly this seems too much of an overkill. I guess there are uses for hypersensitive mice for certain applications. However you cant deny the fact that mouse looks very, very sick!

But then again, I tend to overkill as well so I cant judge too harshly!
