Wayhey, another retarded Zeriton journal!


My last Steelseries Xai broke. The thing was damn near perfect except that the grip I use with it means that the side buttons on the right side push in. Doesn't matter much since it's not uncomfortable and they're not assigned to do anything but I guess this messed up the sensor after some rage-worthy gaming. The sensor kept working but the clicks stopped. Occasionally it would switch to left-hand mode and do some other weird shit.

Anyway, I sent it back to Steelseries to get a replacement. The thing worked well for ages, and the replacement didn't cost anything, so nice one. I sent it back.

In the meantime I was using a Kinzu (in another thread) which was alright, but I still preferred the Xai.

Anyway, the Xai arrived this morning. Plug it in, configure it up. It works perfectly... Except for the LOD. The lift-off distance on it is literally 2cm or something. This is pretty much hell with a low sense. I think it has an "auto-tuning LOD sensor" or some shit which evidently doesn't seem to want to work. Anyway... e-mailed Steelseries. Lets see what they say...


On another FML note, I've been contemplating buying a mouse-bungee for ages. They were always inexpensive when I looked them up and using one of those powerball things as a weight for cords can get a bit annoying. I never ended up buying one because I thought "ahhh, I'll get it some other time"

However, this time when the new Xai arrived, I figured "ah, I cba to break in the cord. I'll just get a bungee. They're cheap anyway"

I go to the mousebungee website? Guess what... They're bought out by Razer.

FML.
