SteelSeries Xai Laser Pro Reviews

hardwarecanucks‘s review Edit Like Unlike

Over the last two years or so, it seemed like every company was hell bent on releasing their own peripheral line to make a quick buck. We have seen our fair share of outlandish features, uncomfortable designs, sky high prices and dead end marketing campaigns but SteelSeries found a way to weather this competitive storm by sticking to a simple, no compromise approach. Instead of trying to stand out from the crowd they went back to the basics of good mouse design and stuck with a tried and true formula for the Xai Laser.

It’s not cheap, but the SteelSeries Xai has an excellent design and there are plenty of settings to configure.

Marketed as a first-person-shooter gaming mouse, the SteelSeries Xai succeeds in comfort and features, but falls short on the battlefield.

While other mice have features that we like, such as free wheeling scrolls wheels and hybrid wireless and wired designs, the Steel Series Xai is quite simply the best pure gaming mouse we've ever tested. Rather than tack on gimmicks like flashing lights and weight systems, Steel Series has simply taken the basics of a performance mouse and honed them to perfection.

Hard-core gamers will no doubt drool at the wealth of customizable settings that the Xai offers, and it is indeed a highly comfortable mouse for long gaming sessions. Owning a Xai may also give you some geek cred, but considering the conservative styling, you'll probably have to point out its charms in detail to your buddies to get your $90 fill of envy. Ourselves, we'd opt for the button-laden, wireless Microsoft SideWinder X8 for a little less cash, but the difference, ultimately, comes down to what feels better in your hand.

It’s a well made ambidextrous mouse that feels comfortable, but at £60 the only reason to buy it is if you’re one of the few that can take advantage of its twitchy precision and purist accuracy and tracking.

SteelSeries has definitely pulled it off again. The Xai laser mouse manages to not only compete, but beat many of the seemingly better equipped mice from rivaling brands. The simple design approach from the Ikari has been taken one step further and the two mice SteelSeries are currently marketing both feature an ambidextrous design which got to make them one of the top picks among left handed gamers.

We found the surface offers a little too much resistance for our taste. And it was far too big – although you could cut it up and get four small professional gaming mouse-mats for the price of one.

I like the Xai. It’s compact, elegant, unpretentious, and effective. While I personally prefer a wireless, right-handed device, I found the straightforward design of the Xai refreshing, and of course its performance is beyond reproach.
