forest and so on use Kinzu v1 or Kinzu v2 ??? Please help!
Hey I have a quick and simple question:

I ordered a Kinzu v1 (before I always played with mx 518)...
I really do like the shape and how it feels and fits in my hand.

But the built in accel is really terrible so I thought about buying a v2 v2 pro...

1. Do you think the pros like f0rest, pasha, gux, edward play with the v1 with accel even though the played without accel before or do you think they use the v2 edition that looks exactly like the v1???

2. Moreover what do you think is the best mouse anyway? (concerning the sensor/technics and shape/comfort)

Thanks in advance!

i know that forest is still using v1 and pasha told @ facebook that he is using v2 RED,

anyway if you will play couple weeks with v1 you will get used to it, for egzample im using v1 for over a year and now its hard for me to play with mice with no accel like a sensei :)

and ... i love glides v1

There is a v2 red pro that is without accel?
But I thought he used/uses the v1 red limited edition, that has accel right?

I've got the same "problem", but I can get used to the accel. The shape and feel on the v1 is better than v2 pro imo. But the prediction/jitter in the mouse, is horrible; even in the v2

using f0rest's mouse will not make you f0rest. I didn't know any pro players' devices and still living

if u know to play the game.. and if u have good skill u will be sick even with delux !

1) v1 is exactle the same size as v2

the difference bettween v2pro and v2 are the switches
however i really hate the v2pro as i have to klich very hard on it

2) eg f0rest and edward are still sticking to the v1

3) there is no real good mouse, if you are using some of your common sense : most players played on the intelli 1.1 mouse before being compelled to switch to mice of their sponsors
and the intelli 1.1 was launched in august 2000 (!) with a 400dpi sensor

however i switched to the kana, as it has standard 500hz, your preference dpi settings after being set only once.
so the next time i will not have to install any drivers, provided that i insist on changing my settings.

i am verry happy about the kana,

1. f0rest/Edward they liked a built-in mouse acceleration thats why they are still playing on it, about pasha he is playing on v2 PRO which has not built-in mouse acceleration.

2. For me ZOWIE mice, AM and EC eVo, they are most closely to old Microsoft mice.

About Kinzu v1 it has really bad 50% plastic and 50% teflon glides which are really bad for material mousepads, it has really bad friction, thats why some players play without glides or change them with new one from SS or some for IE 3.0 or IMO 1.1A.

Hey micronn,
I'm interested in getting the EC eVo. I got the regular EC2 with prediction and was wondering how different the EC eVo is. What are your thoughts about it?
2012-05-27 17:29:09
- newer sensor without prediction,
- fully rubber coated,
- tweaked wheel scroll optical,
- changed switches to better one

Overall it's better version than normal one which I had and changed to AM.
2012-05-27 17:32:24
they haven't released one with glossy sides yet ? :(

do you feel the non-prediction on this one ?
2012-05-27 17:34:13
They released, it was normal version EC-Series with prediction and glossy sides.

This time they changed to fully rubby coated and without prediction and mouse is better.

Glossy sides really sucks.

Non prediction I really feel and it's really good.
2012-05-27 17:38:55
Okay :( did NEO switch to it? and the reason I like glossy sides is because of the grip, it helps me hold the mouse in a way that it won't slip of my hands even if my hands are sweating

using kinzu for 4yrs.. no problem so far. Best mouse for me i would say
2012-05-27 15:11:43
ye, maybe for 10 years ? :D btw. for me standard v1 glides are way better than for example sensies glides [ im using qck sk ]


and as micronn said, pasha has v2 pro, ha has photo of it @ facebook, and accel is not bad in v1 :) just play

2012-05-27 17:49:13

2012-05-27 17:58:07
Are you guys sure he uses the v2 Pro red (without accel)??? Ive read somewhere he uses the v1 red limited edition???

What do you think about ec2 zowie am? (great sensor?)
