Mouse of Steel

SteelSeries Introduces New High Definition Gaming Mouse and Gaming Surface announces August availability of three new products, two of which are squarely aimed at gamers, a new SteelSeries Xai LASER mouse and SteelSeries 9HD mouse surface, as well as new SteelSeries Kinzu Optical Mouse. The new gaming mouse boasts some extremely high numbers in explaining its awesomeness, and we'll take your word for it that your mouse shortcomings are holding back your game:

Research and development of the mouse was done in close cooperation with full-time professional gamers from the U.S., Europe and Asia to ensure that the SteelSeries Xai is a tool with a purpose – not just a gadget. The 10.8 megapixels/second sensor offers a huge improvement over the current generation of gaming mice by processing 12,000 frames/second at 5,001 CPI at movement speeds of 150 inches/second providing the user with High Definition tracking for unparalleled precision. Furthermore, the SteelSeries Xai offers unprecedented levels of personalization for the user, with unique SteelSeries sensor innovations like SteelSeries ExactAim, SteelSeries ExactRate, SteelSeries ExactSens, SteelSeries FreeMove and automatic lift distance calibration. SteelSeries Xai can be fully configured via a LCD menu system on the back of the mouse, where settings will be stored on the mouse thus eliminating the need for drivers and providing configuration capabilities on-the-go.

Some of the features of the SteelSeries Xai include:

    • Ambidextrous shape
    • 7 Programmable macro buttons, 200 strokes per button
    • Driverless plug-and-play, with 5 profiles
    • Fully configurable via LCD menu system
    • 100-5,001 counts/inch

That's a fallacy, wrist bands help keep your wrists straighter but it is no substitute for good posture and a real ergonomic keyboard/mouse setup.
It helps keep the wrist straighter... Yet it's a fallacy? I never claimed it was a replacement for fully ergonomic peripherals BTW. I just disputed the claim that gaming peripherals will kill your wrists, as I've used them for a long long time, and before that there was no such thing as ergonomic peripherals. Wrist bands and cloth mousepads even helped me get rid of the classic wrist bulge.

Given that Razer stuff is prone to falling apart entirely at random, I'd say Steel does indeed use higher quality parts. Look at that whole soundcard/headset fiasco they had awhile ago.
The object in question was a keyboard. And what I responded to said "Razer peripherals". Besides, I can tell you that SteelSeries Siberia headsets are pretty much complete shit, just like most Razer headsets. Sennheiser all the way man. I also have no idea who actually buys a non Creative soundcard for gaming. I will give you that Razer's were complete shit, though I never expected otherwise. Haven't seen SteelSeries' attempt at one yet though.
