SteelSeries Xai is a tool - not a gadget. The SteelSeries Xai Laser Mouse features state of the art technology and groundbreaking technical specifications. The technology, shape, size, weight and surface of the SteelSeries Xai were designed with one purpose: to enhance the users performance. Research and development was done in close cooperation with fulltime professional gamers from USA, Europe and Asia.

 

The sensor offers huge improvement over current laser mice, processing 12,000 Frames Per Second at movement speeds of 150+ Inches Per Second. This level of performance results in completely reliable tracking even during the most frantic and fast-paced games. SteelSeries Xai can be fully configured via a LCD menu system on the back of the mouse, while supporting advanced macro capabilities of up to 200 strokes per button programmable through the lean software.

 

Expert users will appreciate the SteelSeries FreeMove, SteelSeries ExactSens, SteelSeries ExactAim, SteelSeries ExactRate, the automatic lift distance calibration and other sensor innovations from SteelSeries.

Comment: personal settings and adjustments are stored on the mouse itself, you can carry one of your most important gaming tools with you and be at the top of your game any time and anywhere. If you want a solid gaming mouse with great performance, you don’t have to look any further than the Steelseries Xai.

Comment: You owe it to yourself to seriously consider the Xai Laser over the competition since it offers what we find to be an enviable balance of features, comfort for palm grippers and gaming performance.

Comment: The Xai may not have the gimmicks of some gaming mice but the raw performance and extensive configuration options are class-leading.

Purchased this mouse to replace my dead razer diamondback. My initial impression of the Xai is very good. the shape is more round than I am used to, but it lets me fit my whole palm onto the mouse and it is just as easy to hold with my preferred claw grip.

Went from a RAT 5 that broke to this and I don't miss the old mouse. It's simple, and very effective. I love it and would recommend to anyone looking for a new gaming mouse. (Read More)

I bought this mouse after my Logitech G9 started to die. I owned a Steelseries 6GV2 and I-1 glassmat mouspad prior to buying this and I love SteelSeries' products so far. The reviews on this mouse that I've seen have all been positive, which is rare. But yeah, so far the only problem (which is really just an adjustment issue) is stepping down the number of available DPI settings from logitech.

Nice feeling, responsive mouse for gaming or for attaching to a Mac so you can get some real right-click and middle-click action going on.

Good job on buttons and the feel of the wheel. (Read More)

Great mouse - I was looking for a replacement for the razer mouse that I had (there were some problems and the LED's were too annoying).

Did a lot of research and bought this mouse - Excellent mouse. (Read More)

One thing that cannot be aware of before you own it is the mouse won't get your hand sweat stains. I have 2 Logitech G7 and 2 Death-adders. they all have my hand mud after an intensive play. XAI is smooth and clean all the time, which is really unbelievable for me. Until now do I realize the surface material does make huge difference! I won't go back to plastic shell of Logitech or rubber of Razer anymore.

This mouse is very comfortable. Before I bought this mouse it looked very ordinary and not eye catching. However I have found that this mouse is of high quality and has alot of settings to work with.
