What a relief! Great Mouse! 
by .. Richard F. Peduzzi ()
I've been looking for a good mouse for awhile -- and this mouse is way better than good! Been through three mice over the last couple of years (most recently a MS Optical Comfort Mouse 3000), and the difference has been striking. It's light, responsive, accurate and very comfortable. One recommendation: follow the instructions, which strongly recommend leaving the Windows Mouse sensitivity setting at its default value (XP - sixth notch from the left). BTW - I'm not a gamer, but I do a lot of programming and having a very responsive and accurate mouse means a world of difference after hours of cutting, pasting, clicking ...
It works for me by .. Ckc ()
Ergonomics: I think Kinzu is tailored for small/ medium handed users with a claw or finger tip grip. So basically my hand is 19 cm long and I use a fingertip grip. The balanced shape and light weight works for me as it give me a firm grip and faster reaction.
Performance: I had been using Razer Deathadder for about 4 years with the 1800 dpi setting. This 3200 cpi setting from Kinzu is just way too sensitive for me. Thus I tune it down to 1600 cpi. With this setting, there is no positive acceleration as stated by some users. I guess Kinzu probably works better with the high sensitivity setting. Using a razer megasoma with Kinzu, I don't notice any drag. Nothing good or bad in term of the gliding.
Function: No extra function. I don't mind that too much, but I know some users hated mouse without the side buttons.
I guess Kinzu works best for small/ medium handed users with a claw or finger tip grip who uses medium to high sensitivity settings.
I will update this review once I got my Func Archetype mouse pad to share some thoughts if the tracking and gliding works better on that surface.
Apology for my poor English if there is any mistake.

I bought this item as a gift so I have no opinion on it myself but recipient says it is AWESOME.
Great for most people by .. Mark Nakib (West Hartford, CT, US)
This mouse is great. It tracks well, the feet are fantastic, glides smoothly, the scroll wheel feels tight (in a good way) and well-made, the cable is a really nice, high-quality braided design, and everything feels really balanced and sturdy. The reason why it's a 4-star is because it can be pretty small for people with large hands. I usually have a fingertip-style grip, and this gets kinda tiring with this mouse after a few hours. However, one of the things I like the most about the mouse is the finish on top of it. It's a nice, satin rubberized sorta matte finish. Feels very good, soft, comfy, and grippy, even with sweaty hands, regardless of grip. Seriously good mouse.

Size-wise, I like it because it is small. I also like the fact that this mouse does not have any side-buttons which is very good for a palm-gripper like I am.
The only reason it is four-star mouse is because of its optical sensor. The sensor itself has fast response. However, the sensor seems having what we call "positive acceleration." If I move the mouse slowly, it has no problems. The pointer stops at where I wanted. However, if I move fast, the pointer ends a bit farther than where I wanted to. Other than ths so-called "positive acceleration," the mouse is a go-getter. Some people also complain about the firmware issue, but I have not experienced any error regarding firmware.
