I've recently bought Steelseries Xai to replace my broken abyssus which has turned out to be quite a bad decision. The shape of the mouse is great, much more like WMO than the abyssus. Also I really like that XAI is quite a bit heavier than WMO and abyssus. Tracking is really nice when i don't lift the mouse off the mousepad.

What ruins the mouse for me is that whenever i lift the mouse off the mousepad it starts to jitter like those 10$ laser mouses. Whenever I reposition my mouse, the cursor moves randomly in all directions. Also what's super annoying is that my xai seems to have a lift-off distance of about 4mm on QCK and goliathus control. That's really strange considering many people claim it has 1mm lift-off on all surfaces. Those two things combined make using this mouse very annoying.

So my question to people who own XAI: is my XAI foobared or is this a typical behaviour of this mouse and i should just return it?

[EDIT] Replacement doesn't have the same fault. I also found out that XAI is incapable of 1DPI increments as advertised. It only works @90DPI increments regardless of what you set your ExactSense on. There is no hardware or software capability of adjusting DPI by 1.

Have a problem with my IMO 1.1a. I replaced the default mouse feet which were terrible (made of plastic) and applied hyperglides. Now, they aren't very good IMO. They barely peek out of mouse feet socket, which causes dragging on cloth pads. I tried to apply another set of hyperglides on top of those already sticked and this causes mouseskipping on both clothpads i have.

Any recommendations what to do? How do you guys fix the dragging issue?
