Product Description
The SteelSeries Ikari Laser mouse features programmable macros for RTS and MMO gamers and a high precision sensor suitable for FPS gamers. Furthermore the Ikari Laser is completely driverless which enables the mouse to remember settings and macros when plugged into tournament computers - without installing any drivers or software.The advanced SteelSeries XY2 laser engine supports resolution settings with increments of only 1 CPI, which for the first time ever gives the user the ability to fine tune the mouse exactly to his personal reaction pattern. Set your windows and in-game sensitivity to default and set the CPI on your hardware instead of forcing software calculations.With the built in LED display in the bottom of the Ikari Laser you are able to adjust your CPI anytime, anywhere - you are completely independent of software or drivers.The gaming grade engine used in the SteelSeries Ikari Laser utilizes a new way of analyzing tracking, reaching 40.000 SPS (or around 5 times the speed of conventional laser technology).

 Great Design April 6, 2008

Unlike other gaming mice i've owned, the Ikari seems to add all the best features and leaves-out all the annoying ones others like to bundle-in.
I finally have the right balance of physical and software controls I've been wanting. I'm not sure who develops their drivers and technologies, but I feel like I have more accuracy and the mouse aims exactly where I want it be, and not where the computer thinks I'm aiming at.
The grip is made of a great material, and ergonomic layout is perfect.
Seems like every LAN and event I go to, SteelSeries is there or donates prizes . . . that's how I found-out about them. Nice support of the gaming community! Seems like others never give back, then try to copy SteelSeries' innovations (but fail).
Great Ergonomic Mouse for general right hand use September 17, 2008

As a professional ergonomist (but not a gamer), I judge the overall ergonomics benefits of this mouse far far outweigh the negative (especially for gaming) of it being somewhat difficult to lift up for repositioning. It has become my mouse of choice, and I have tried many many mice. The thumb support and 4th finger and pinky support along with it's general contours, sensitivity control and well positioned Back button, put this mouse ahead of all or almost all other mice on the market. I would strongly recommend this mouse to most right handed computer users. I suggest that the mouse be marketed to the broader market (not just gaming market) as an excellent "Ergonomic Mouse," which it is.

This is a great solid gaming mouse, after using this i find it irritating when using other peoples computers which seem sluggish. A bit expensive, but it is accurate, and the most comfortable mouse ever.
One of the highest rated mice in the world April 4, 2008

Reading up on the SteelSeries Ikari Laser on Amazon, revealed one review, where it received a 1/5 rating. Which was btw the only only review that reviewer had posted. As with all PC peripherals, especially mice, a lot comes down personal preference and taste.. But it's does seem weird that someone what be so in much disagreement with the rest of the world.
Since SteelSeries Ikari Laser was released, it has become one of the highest rated mice on the market. It has scored more than 10 (ten) perfect scores from hardware review sites, and a number of other scores in the 9.x/10 range. All praising the features, the technology and the ergonomics.
A list of reviews, with links to the sources, can be found here:

Also, the comment about the mouse not being suitable for FPS gaming is off the mark. Kapio from the german multi-gaming organization "mousesports" won the Extreme Masters II Counter-Strike tournament at CeBit this year, using the mouse. His team won $50,000 USD. Made in Brazil, another professional gaming team, took second place at Dreamhack just a few weeks ago. Two of the players were using the SteelSeries Ikari Laser.
The mouse itself was designed with testing and feedback from professional gamers, including compLexity and Team 3D in the US. Since they were all FPS gamers, it would naturally result in a mouse that would be (at the very least) suitable for FPS gamers.
I took part in the design of the mouse and have early been reading all the reviews and feedback from the market, so it was a little weird seeing such a negative comment. Especially since it totally goes against everything else I am seeing on the market. Hopefully this blurp gives potential users a chance to make an informed decision.

i had mx510 before this item. now my gaming skill increased so much better. Only think you need to to reduce your sensitivity if you are playing fps games. when you et used you will be so much better.
