Introduction (Taken from the steelseries KANA page)

We do more than talk a good game. We play, we create, we push the standards in peripheral design. Kana can mean many different things in different languages. In Swedish, canary. In Azerbjjan, blood. In Hawaiian, demigod. To us, gaming is a culture combined of many languages. Kana means, precision, control, winning and the ability to make you a better player.

The Steel Series Kana bridges the gap between the kinzu and the Sensei. With 6 buttons, a tournament grade optical sensor, Teflon® feet, it strikes an ideal balance in size, features and performance.

My take on the Subject

Steelseries continues to release great mice on ot the market aimed at standard users, avid gamers and all in between.

The KANA falls in to the middile category, classified by Steelseries as “the middle child” the KANA fills a void often left in the market for high end business users and casuial gamers.

Not every office worker needs 7-20 buttons, not every gamer needs buttons everywhere when just a few extra will suffice for the casuial gamer, the KANA with 6 buttons and easy to use UI is poised to fill this gap.
