Fnatic - A profesional gaming team

SteelSeries Xai is a tool – not a gadget. The SteelSeries Xai Laser Mouse features state of the art technology and groundbreaking technical specifications. The technology, shape, size, weight and surface of the SteelSeries Xai were designed with one purpose: to enhance the users performance. Research and development was done in close cooperation with fulltime professional gamers from USA, Europe and Asia, including Fnatic. The sensor offers huge improvement over current laser mice, processing 12,000 Frames Per Second at movement speeds of 150+ Inches Per Second. This level of performance results in completely reliable tracking even during the most frantic and fast-paced games. SteelSeries Xai can be fully configured via a LCD menu system on the back of the mouse, while supporting advanced macro capabilities of up to 200 strokes per button programmable through the lean software. Expert users will appreciate the SteelSeries FreeMove, SteelSeries ExactSens, SteelSeries ExactAim, SteelSeries ExactRate, the automatic lift distance calibration and other sensor innovations from SteelSeries.

Precision tool, not a gadget!

Advanced Macros 
On the SteelSeries Xai you can record 8 macros for key combinations that can be up to 200 different keystrokes and with a precise timing of sequences. This allows you to setup common commands and shortcuts that enhance your actions per minute and ensures that you don’t accidentally hit the wrong key and miss out on important in-game sequences. 

Adjustable Rate For Smooth Movement
SteelSeries ExactRate enables you to adjust the rate of which data is sent from the SteelSeries Xai to your computer. When tweaking the ExactRate to the response time of your screen you can make the mouse cursor movement perfectly fluent.

True Sensitivity
SteelSeries ExactSens allows you to control how fast your pointer should move by adjusting your CPI in increments of 1 between 100-5001. This means, the SteelSeries Xai offers you true hardware based sensitivity settings, freeing you of interpolation from game software. To take advantage of ExactSens you need to deactivate any cursor acceleration and set your sensitivity settings in-game (sensitivity 1 or adjust your sensitivity slider to lowest possible setting) and on your operating system to default.

Ambidextrous
The SteelSeries Xai is ambidextrous, which means that you can use the Xai as a righty or lefty gamer. 

Plug And Play
No need to install software of any kind to use the Xai. The built-in driver can be adjusted through an LCD menu on the backside of the mouse. Just plug in the Xai and play.

LCD Menu Set-Up

With the LCD display on the backside of the SteelSeries Xai mouse, you can customise all settings to fit your specific needs. If you choose to download the advanced software for Xai, there are even more detailed options to customise and personalise your mouse settings. 

Automatic Lift Distance
To make sure you always have a 1mm lift distance, the sensor on the SteelSeries Xai automatically adjusts the lift distance, depending on the surface you’re using. If you are a low sensitivity gamer a minimal lift distance is extremely important so that the mouse will shut off the sensor when you lift your mouse up to change position.

Developed With Gamers
At SteelSeries, we are proud to be associated with some of the best players in the world of esports. We maintain strong relationships and have continuous dialogue with teams like Fnatic who help in the development and improvement of our products. We strive to improve what we put out into the market. The Xai is a perfect example of our evolution.

Pro Gamer Profiles
The SteelSeries Xai allows you to configure and store up to 5 profiles on the mouse. This helps you easily switch between profiles when playing different games or performing tasks on your computer that require different levels of sensitivity and precision. You can also exchange your setting profiles with other Xai users as well as try downloading a profile from a few of our professional gamers who’ve used the Xai to win major global tournaments.

Engineered For Intense Use
The SteelSeries Xai has several unique features, based on the feedback from professional gamers who helped us develop it. To begin, the Xai is an ultra lightweight mouse, which was highlighted by gamers as an important feature that was missing in the mouse market today. A heavier mouse makes your wrist sore and tires your arm after extended use. We’ve also made the Xai with a sweat resistant coating for an optimal grip over longer periods of time. Finally, we’ve added a nylon braided cord to optimise durability and to prevent the cord from tangling.
