For the price, the Kana actually does very well — unless you need greater flexibility over your macros, in which case you'll need to look elsewhere.

SteelSeries approach to what makes a good mouse might seem strange at first, but once in your hand, it doesn't take a genius to figure out they are onto something big!

The Kana is an excellent mouse with one button on either side, a nice design and a good LED sensor. It will above all interest those looking for a light mouse - we find it a little on the light side.

The SteelSeries Kana's not a bad mouse, it's just a shame that it feels - and looks - cheap.

At around €49/$49 the Kana mouse from Steelseries offers a good mix of price, features and performance. Good hardware is backed by a decent software suite which will allow gamers to get the most from their new purchase.

It’s not a tough decision to give the Kana an award then, with only its slightly weak mouse wheel a mark against it. If you’re in the market for a new mouse, the Kana should definitely be on your shortlist.

The Kana ... has that same great sensor as well as a couple of the bells and whistles that make a difference without over-egging the pudding. For £35 you're getting a lot of mouse that will serve you for a long time.
