"“The Kinzu V2 is a worthy mouse for FPS players who don’t want fancy light, crazy DPIs or other gimmicky features. It achieves what it set out too, which is an ambidextrous, back to basics mouse with a good sensor and great quality build.”"

"A quick jaunt through Serious Sam: HD proved the Kinzu to still hold the SteelSeries DNA, meaning great performance and accuracy. Like the classic Microsoft Intellimouse, if you're on a budget the Kinzu is a great choice."

Score: 8/10
