Note before reading my post : My goal here is not to insult the author, and I'm sorry to have done it in my first post. I simply want to point out some facts that I strongly disagree with, in order to get more clarification, which could be useful for other readers.

Hello there,
Just read the review, and found it very... biaised to say the least. Plus, the author criticize things he seems not to understand.
Eg :

The driver suite for the Xai mouse is very well crafted. It seems that SteelSeries have put a fair amount of effort into the drivers for this supposedly driverless mouse.
|
Seriously, he doesn't even know what "driverless mouse" means. This doesn't mean that there exists no drivers, but that they aren't needed for the mouse to work to its full capacities. But to configure it, you still need a software, and a driver to interface and update the mouse !
Plus, the driver suite isn't really good (look at roccat kone's one) and it's not even included in a CD, the packaging is just bland, and even if the tester recognize it he continues to praise it XD

The silly trend now-a-days is having mice with braided cables.
|
That's for duration and cable quality. And personally I find braided cables more aesthetics.

The USB plug is gold plated and seems to be of a good quality. The strain relief system seems very solid.
|
WTFluck with the strain relief ? XD
That's the first time I hear compliments about an usb strain relief !

SteelSeries mice have always looked good. And the new Xai is no exception, the simple design is very stylish.
|
No, seriously, it's ugly, saying that is just fanboyism. The design is very good for an office mouse, but for a gaming one it can't be compared to other mice in the market.

The review is not that bad, but the author brings it down by his obviously biaised opinion. And I'm pretty sure that the Ikari and Xai mice are the author's favourite mice, am I wrong ? XD
