looks a lot like the zowie AM/FK

that's nice actually

do you know if there's any acceleration/prediction ?

okay seems like there's no acceleration / prediction etc

i like the dpi steps

but do you know if it's possible to set them without installing the drivers ?

would be cool if it was 800dpi by default, and ofc 1000 or 500hz

looks good. similar to zowie's stuff without the low lift off distance (super low lod on ec1/2/am fuck me up hard)

what are the issues with the current version of the kana?

*haven't seen the video yet, at work!*

Plastic feet, TTC switches and apparently some people didn't like the tracking (found jitter and some other things - I personally thought the tracking was ok).

I thought the tracking got fixed with firmware updates? Didn't realise it had plastic feet though. Thanks for the info.

Yeh IIRC the issue that was fixed is the pixel jumping to the right bug. Other issues that I've read from other forums suggest they didn't like the tracking feel of the sensor. It's alittle vague, but perhaps they didn't like the small amount of prediction on it. From my perspective, it was a decent sensor at 400 to maybe 800 DPI. Higher was pretty bad, no doubt.

Plastic feet

Lies. There was a bunch that made it to the market with plastic feet but Steelseries responded quickly with a replacement program: http://c.steelseries.com/pedicure/

I wish there was a Kana with two thumb buttons instead of a pinky button that's useless for my grip. Oh well, back to waiting for bst.

I have a kana, and I really have no clue what's so bad about it.

I like my FK, but that looks pretty sweet.. except for the high LOD, I don't want my mouse doing funny stuff when I pick it up

both sides buttons ... any problems with that ?

I have no problems with it, the buttons are pretty small and unintrusive. maybe some rare accidental clicks with my ringfinger that I barely even notice, but that side is deactivated anyway since you can only use 2 sidebuttons at once.

i was focused on the steelseries kana but i changed my mind, i will look into the AM or FK, thank's

I'll get one and review it as soon as it gets released in the Netherlands.

Shame about the LOD, kind of a killer

can't you use the usual tape fix?

thats what i thought, but it just might make the "jitter" more pronounced

I use a kana sometimes, It does jitter a little bit, time to time.

Well, I'll be buying this regardless, purely because I just like buying new things, bad habbit.

On a side note, I use the XAI , I tried to look up to buy a spare one, but it seems like is discontinued and most XAI on ebay sell from 100 to 200 dollars, fricken rip.

just buy some thick mouse feet and LOD problem is solved.

that affects the grip when the mouse is set so high.

Isn't LOD affected by mousepad choice, sometimes dramatically?

Yes, it is. Different materials/colours affect LOD dramatically.

black cloth pads should be the reference, as most players use them.
on everything else (with some exceptions) it should have a lower LOD anyways.

is the 3090 the best current sensor?

yeah but it depends on lens/firmware how good the tracking is
