Once again SteelSeries have impressed us with a high-quality gaming product. The Xai may not have the gimmicks of some gaming mice but the raw performance and extensive configuration options are class-leading.
The driverless functionality of the Xai means that Mac users can now have a fully-customizable gaming mouse to play all those gaming titles that are now available on OS X through Steam. It also allows users to keep their settings when switching between computers.
The Xai can be purchased online for a shade under £60 from Ebuyer. I feel that this represents reasonable value for money considering the outstanding performance and build quality of the Xai, but it does restrict the market slightly to more serious gamers who are willing to pay a premium for the best performance.
KitGuru Says: The SteelSeries Xai is one of the best performing gaming mice on the market and we recommend it to anyone who takes their gaming seriously.

They make great mice, I have one of their older units still, no reason to change either 🙂
This is most interesting. I dont know if I like the shape as much as the IKARI however.
They make very nice mice indeed. Friend of mine has the ikari mouse, which I rate highly.
It is a long time since I have bought a mouse, I still have my microsoft gaming mouse which does me well. good review though 🙂
Very good review, and this is a very appealing product. I am not sure I would spend that much on a mouse though, seems very expensive.
9 out of 10? you have to be kidding me, easily deserves a 10 🙂 I have one and love it.
