Inside it can find a manual, a sticker with a logo and flyer SteelSeries presenting some products.

II. PRODUCT

The mouse looks simple as possible, matte black. The material at first glance seems to be great lover of dust, but after closer inspection and a little test, I noticed that very easy to clean with a cloth or tissue.

Is the most common form, with rounded edges and optimized for both left-and right-handed.
Above you can see a very discreet white LEDs that match the wheel.
The two buttons on the left side and the right is used when the mouse is configured for left, or by setting up a Macro.

Note the name of the SteelSeries, CPI instead of DPI. Their explanation is this:

"IPR is expression from the printing world year and nothing to do with mouse HAS movement. IPRs are meant to DESCRIBE That is for one inch of distance you move your mouse on Any Surface, the equivalent number of counts is sent to the PC - resulting in movement on your screen. CPI is the correct term for this as it actually is consistent with what you seek to DESCRIBE with the abbreviation. "

Have you noticed some new names in specifatii and seemingly strange. Well these are what separate him from another mouse Xai. I must admit I was a little bit lost in space until I remember exactly what each, in order to configure the profile as I wanted. A few words to explain what each:

- Free Move - Any mouse normally has little ability to track the cursor right to draw such a line as straight. Which does not really help a gamer that has targeted the enemy skull. Move Free, lets you set how much you want the cursor path is correct.
Exactly direction - is a name most of the ICC's effect (Counts Per Inch). Values ​​are between 100 and 5001.
Exactly Rate - Rate or Polling Report Rate which we all know that the rate of transfer between mouse and PC.
Exactly Aim - Mouse makes all sorts of predictions and calculations based on sensor data that it receives from the surface used. If it uses a pad that is not dedicated gaming is indicated as a value to be higher this setting, to help accurately.
Exactly Accell - acceleration on the horizontal axis.


What makes it unique is the software that is found directly in it. On tummy, as you will see a screen rectangular sensor. The menu is entered by a long press of the button by the ICC found after light. You can configure the five sections, with the ability to change settings for the options mentioned above.

Another good thing is that these settings can change a value. ICC's for example can have any value between 100 and 5040. As far as I know this is not possible in other mouse, at least so far.
Why are so excited about how this configuration? Because you can move the mouse from one PC to another, without requiring any software installed, or the need to rebuild your profiles. A personal way to describe the mouse is "Plug in, Select Profile and Start Shooting"
Below is a movie presenting the menu.
The song is its own creation, I hope you enjoy.
