Graphs Description The Physical Characteristics comparison is just a viewable representation of the devices' length, width, height and weight. Sensor, Latency and Other Features are, instead, computed within the range 0-->100, taking into account if the variable is getting better with the increase of its value (e.g the highest max DPI, the better it is) or vice versa (the lowest Click Latency, the better); for example, a score of 50 for both devices means they are equal, scores of 70 and 30 mean that first one better. So, the data are homogeneous to provide immediate meaning, higher bar(s) means better value(s). An empty graph means that there is not enough data to compute that comparison (one value or both are missing).

Final Vs Words

Aiding our visitors to the final choice between the mice.

This final paragraph will help you in the decision making process, between Cooler Master MasterMouse MM530 and SteelSeries Kinzu V3, and in selecting the mouse that is performing better and best suits your needs. We are aware that every user has own needs and preferences, due to this each mouse could be better for some features and worse for other ones. The purpose of the text is to highlight this possibility and generate an "overall score" for a purchase decision.

First of all, both mice share the same utilization aim, Gaming mouse. The first one is younger, 6 years old, being released in the 2018, while Kinzu V3 is older, 10 years old, being released in the 2014. The production age difference is 4 year(s). This makes the MasterMouse MM530 kind of more attractive in terms of freshness.

• Dimensions, Weight, Ergonomy 📐⚖️🫳

When it comes to evaluate mice dimensions, you should take into consideration the size of your hand and check if it would properly fit it or not. In this case, you should check which mice would be the fittest. Compared to Kinzu V3 mouse, MasterMouse MM530 is ~7.80 mm (or ~0.31 in) Longer, ~3.60 mm (or ~0.14 in) Narrower and ~5.20 mm (or ~0.20 in) Higher, which makes it, overally, 9.4 mm (or 0.37 in) slightly bigger and better suiting greater hands.

Considering the weight, Cooler Master MasterMouse MM530 is 22% heavier, a difference of 22.00 g (0.05 lbs), which can be considered quite significant. We do not express a particular preference for heavier or lighter mice, being this a completely personal objective preference. Anyway, both mice does not offer weight personalization .

Regarding the Ergonomy, MasterMouse MM530 is meant to be Right-handed while Kinzu V3 is Ambidextrous. They offer the same grip, Palm grip, Claw grip, Fingertip grip; the degree of adaptability is the same and equal to 3.

• Sensor and Latencies 🐭⏱️

Let's now compare Cooler Master MasterMouse MM530 sensor with the one of SteelSeries Kinzu V3. The two mice share the same sensor technology, that is Optical, but different sensor model: PMW3360 equipped by MasterMouse MM530 and Avago A3050 used by Kinzu V3. It is very important to say that, although tech and model sometimes coincide, the assembly and composition of interior circuits might result in different specs and latencies.

Resolution, Max Acceleration and Max Tracking, Polling Rate and Lift Off
The mice offer different resolution range (DPImax - DPImin), the MasterMouse MM530 provides 11900 DPI/CPI, while Kinzu V3 offers 1750 DPI/CPI, meaning that the first one has way larger range. Consider picking up the sensitivity range that mostly suits your needs, depending on the aim (Gaming/Business) but also the kind of game you are going to use it mostly (e.g. FPS is different than RTS or MOBA). If you need a higher precision mouse, meaning that for the same length of shift the mouse will recognize more movement, "reading" more dots per inch and, in other words, will move faster on the screen, MasterMouse MM530 is offering 83% better Max Resolution, 10000 More DPI/CPI.

As for the Maximum Acceleration, which measures the maximum pull force in G(s) that the sensor can trace before inconsistencies occur, MasterMouse MM530 shows a better value, 50 G, a significant difference of 30 G. Going on, taking into account the Maximum Tracking Speed, the velocity (inches per second) that the mouse can move at before it starts to loose track and cause anomalies, MasterMouse MM530 shows a preferable value, 250 IPS, a significant difference of 190 IPS. Take into account that max G and max IPS mostly affect activities requiring very fast mouse shift, together with the shift latency that we will analyse further in this section.

They have a Polling Rate of 1000 Hz, in other words they report data to computer 1 time every 1.00 ms. Lastly, the Lift Off distance of Kinzu V3 shows an higher value, 2 mm, a significant difference of 0.80 mm. Anyway, MasterMouse MM530 offers adjustable lift off distance through software.

Click and Shift Latencies

Cooler Master MasterMouse MM530 has lower click latency than SteelSeries Kinzu V3, a great difference of 16.70 ms, 56% better Click Latency, which can be evaluated very significant, in terms of compared performance. Anyway, we feel it is important to underline that the differences in latencies are often more perceptible from the machine's point of view rather than human's, reducing the real impact of these values and deviations. At the moment there is no available data to compare MasterMouse MM530 and Kinzu V3 shift latency. Contact us to request priority data update.

• Other Features 📎

Let's now have a look, finally, to the general features of the two mice. They are equipped with different Switch Technology, MasterMouse MM530 has Omron while Kinzu V3 has Unknown; moreover, the Switch lifespan of first mouse is 20 millions clicks while the second is 10 millions clicks, 50% better Lifespan, a difference of 10 millions clicks that can be evaluated very significant. The Feet Material is the same, PTFE. Considering the available Number of Buttons, 5 offered by first mouse and 4 offered by the second one, a small difference of 1 that can be considered important or not depending on the utilization purpose. In the end, SteelSeries Kinzu V3 is not offering features such as On Board Memory, Adjustable Scrool Wheel or Silent Click (etc.), while Cooler Master MasterMouse MM530 is giving On board Memory, DPI Indicator, RGB Lighting, Customizable RGB.
