Contest: Win a SteelSeries Xai

26-7-2010 13:28

Do you believe it's about time to change your current mouse with a brand new SteelSeries Xai? Share your story why you should receive a new mouse and you might end up getting one.

The contest is quite simple; you have a mouse which you would like to replace with a SteelSeries Xai. To enter the contest you must write a story why you should receive it. It could be a story about how old your mouse is, some really lame excuse why you should win the mouse or just a really convincing story.

But that is not quite it. You will also have to include a link to a photo, with your current mouse and note showing your love to HLTV.org, all in a comment to this news post. Below is a suggestion to how that photo could look like.

If you post an entry without a photo, your entry will not be valid. The contest will run till July 31, closing at 23:59CET. Once all entries have been analysed, one lucky winner will be drawn out.

lol nice ^^

2010-07-26 13:45

My mouse is more or less 5 years old, so it really is pretty old - older than an average mouse. I also gave it a name: mikki (mickey in english). He loves lying on my mousepad, which is in fact QcK+ fnatic edition, too. But due to Mickey's age it has confronted some problems. It is not eating anymore and it's very tired most of the days. He's active like 1-2 hours per day and sleeps over 20. All it eats is a couple of lettuce leaves per week. It also drinks very, very badly. I'm started to thinking about buying a new mouse, but I can't afford it. That's sad, coz I really like mice. When I saw this headline, I felt like "this is my chance". So please, give me a new mouse, for Mickey's sake (btw I'm giving away tickets to its funeral if someone wants to attend pm me). Oh and I almost forgot the picture, here you go: www.animalcenter.utu.fi/tutkijalle/hinnasto/hoitopaivahinnat/index/Hiiri4.jpg (sorry I forgot the "<3 HLTV.org"-thing, I still love you)

When i am pushing left mouse button one time, he pushes 2 times, so i can't move any files to other directory because i always open that file, it really drive me crazy :D. Another problem is that mouse stop working for 1-3seconds and about 3-5 times in a day i must restart computer, cause mouse stop working at all. So guys, please give me new mouse, i would be very pleased. At this time i just don't how enough money to buy new one.

the reason that i bothered and write a blog here's just because I am a handsome and nice person who really put some superlative feeling in what I write. But enough about that, I have a steel series Xai computer mouse that I bought for one-half years ago. it has not been all too worn out over time but it has started to smell. Of course there are some reasons for it, but my reason is the ability worthy! not only because I like hltv.org and the incredible good work they do, but get these great contestet's they come with. I read the topic and then it was done, I asked my ex-girlfriend if she could take a little roof for me announce this once, and easier than it was not my friends:) I took my Xai and fucked my ex-girfrield with it for one last time, and then comes the smell of shrimp and goteri once among. but starting to get quite tired, and when it had not really done anything with a new one: D thanks for me and you who take your time and read my post. sry for bad english!

i would realy like to show you my mouse but my dog cracked it and now its in the garbage since a week. Now i'm "surfing" with a ***** notebookmouse which is just HORRIBLE. It's SO tiny and not accurate :( i can't even play anymore. And i can't become a pro gamer by playing with this piece of garbage. So, what happened? My dog(a rhodesian ridgeback) was for the very first time alone in my flat and i don't know what the thought he was doing but he grabbed my mouse from my bed(i cleaned up my whole pc and put all things on my bed) and had some fun with it. It seems like he bit it and jumped on it. Too bad it broke after this... it's a shame but i can't be too angry. I just love this dog! So i lost my logitech mx518 and i'm looking forward to buy a new one but i got very less money and i try to have luck ONCE in my life. :) pic: img294.imageshack.us/img294/6076/mlna0018.jpg

Bom meu mouse , 1.1 está velinho.. comprei a 4 anos por ai, acho que mouse tambem tem tempo de vida , ja expliquei isso para ele ele nao quer entender , mas ele um dia tem que se ir , mas minha vida com ele foi uma tremenda aventura , cada desafio que passamos , quanto no céu quanto no inferno ele estava la para me ajudar e agradeço muito a ele.. um dia eu irei como ele mas agora é a vez dele , ele está chorando muito , mas falei para ele que sempre ele terá um lugar guardado em meu coraçao , mas ele me pergunto , para onde ele irá , e eu respondi para um lugar melhor como todos os outros vão quando estão velhos ..entao ele se conformo.. e levará minha lembraça consigo. foto: img199.imageshack.us/i/meudesenho.jpg/

Hello. I'm ninus' mouse Logitech MX518 (3 years old). This freak hates me! He hits me! Yeah! That's right! HE HITS ME! All the time, while he is playing this stupid game Counter-Strike, he is angry on me, when someone just killed him! He pulls me up and hits me on table. It hurts alot! I just can't take it anymore! Now I just look terrible. I feel so achy. I want to retire already! What is more, he is starving me! Yeah! He doesn't let me eat! His keyboard got everything.. sandwiches, dinners, cookies, peanuts.. and me? NO! NEVER! I'm hungry all the time. He didn't even ask me once, if I would like something to eat! I HATE HIM! Please HLTV.org! Pimp his mouse! Just look at me. I look terrible! i30.tinypic.com/wi6fdh.jpg

My mouse is just 1 year old and i guess i have a problem with mouse steelseries Ikari optical, the problem is that when i click my mouse once it gives response of 2 or sometimes 3 clicks.Its some manufacturing defect or what, i really dont know.My friends complain its some kind of hack i have with my mouse(lol dats not true)cuz just 1 click fires spray of three bullets :P(nice spray control :D). But i dont want to take advantage of that so i think i deserve this XAI more than anyone else(i think so :P). And i seriously suffer problem while changing my any in-game settings :(,cuz when i try to bind anything (without using console,i hate typing :P) it binds MOUSE1 and its really irritating. Thanx to HLTV for supporting all the gamers all around the world. And here is the link of the picture of my amazing mouse--- picasaweb.google.co.in/lh/photo/-xgBM-O-qMtXRWkGMDmyTg?feat=directlink

The first professional mouse I had was a Razer Deathadder. I've been using it for three years now but since last year I started feeling that the infrared doesn't follow as well as It used to and the scroll wheel just don't work anymore =(. And the worst thing is that the left bottom is kinda loose ever since my little brother found this app on facebook about how fast can you click... that surely took its toll on the mouse. Anyways, I read the about contest and well...if HLTV.org gives me a new pro mouse, hell why don't give it a try. Thanks HLTV and keep up the good work. image: img833.imageshack.us/img833/6205/imagedb.jpg

Hello. I want to talk about my shitty-mouse. When i'm playing, it randomly disconnects (wireless) and i can't even shoot normally :D. Another thing, sometimes when i press the left button, it gets stuck and shoots like 15 bullets from ak. I want a new mouse cause mine sucks, can't play flawlessly with it =[. Plus, sometimes the DPI changes, i have to set different sensitivity ant etc. The buttons sometimes get useful ofcourse, but sometimes not. When i press any of the < buttons, they open me firefox, and this is kinda annoying. www.ipix.lt/images/31097755.jpg P.S. Don't ask me where I got those magnets... Eh, childhood.. :D

2010-07-26 15:26

Hi, I want to tell you a story about why should I win the SS Xai mouse. Once upon a time, there was a peacefull land, called "hrs20's house". It was a land where everyone was happy playing their favourite games with no problems or anything that could interrupt the peace in this little place, where time runs slowly. The old king of district called "Computer" has died, because he was an old PS2 mouse and he could not work anymore for his subjects. And here start's the drama. Bad, ugly and non-precise imperator named A4Tech X7 AK-47 Edition has taken the control of "Computer" district. His appalling lack of precision has caused general chaos and terror in the district. And it's evil powers lasts for about 2 years. The legend says, that only the the powers of the legendary sword named "SteelSeries Xai Mouse" can break the devil powers of evil imperator and bring back the peace again in my land. Thats why I should win the mouse. Here is the picture : h.imagehost.org/0105/hltv.jpg PS. Yes, I know, I don't have any drawing talent :).

What a precious item here I see Truly forged to make darkspawn flee I shall keep it by my side A loyal companion against the tide The Mother will Screech As we begin our breach With the mouse in my hand Before the people of Denerim I will stand: "Fear not my friends for the blight ends with me" My companion A marvelous mouse We shall cause a rouse. For if it is bestowed upon me Ferelden will be as safe as can be. Also I think that I should win this mouse because My cat keeps constantly playing with whatever mouse I use and maybe, just maybe, if I had this custom mouse, it would get scared of the Steelseries Xai and finally let me play in peace. tinypic.com/r/7307m9/3

Hi, I would also like to participate at this contest. I want to replace my long-serving loyal Microsoft ball mouse. I have already thought it out to replace it with a newer, but that would have been unfair on my opponents. Sometimes I even played with a steering wheel just to retain the handicap. But now when I got to know hltv.org and have looked at some professional players, I can replace my old mouse confidently with a new one. Also, my current mouse has already become a little yellow.. I do not know why. I am neither a smoker nor radioactively contaminated. Therefore, a black mouse would own very well. img686.imageshack.us/img686/7615/bildlu.jpg

Okay, here we go! Well, i think it was back in 2008. I was attending the danish LAN BattleIT #5 as a standin for the danish team, XRAY. As on many other LANs, it was great fun! But this LAN will never be forgotton due to one special thing i did together with the crew of HLTV.org. In the middle of saturday night, i was asked by my teammate, hrz, if I could help HLTV.org in a cup/tournament against other communities/top news-sites, I think it was XplayN.com, Battleit Crew and MyMYM.com. We were playing on the big scene at the LAN and came out on top! Our lineup consisted of: nomad, hrz, dt, nix0n and 1 more, but i really can't remember who (sorry!).. So now that i actually helped HLTV.org beating the other top-newssites from Denmark.. HLTV.org hopefully will reward me with this mouse, since my 1.1SS scrollwheel is totally broke and it worked perfectly back in 2008. :) I will upload some pictures from the LAN, and of the big scene we played on. www11.speedyshare.com/files/23529381/download/10764-23598.jpg <- Here's a picture of Marc(nix0n) at the event. www.hltv.org/?pageid=154&galleryid=639&pictureid=3782 <- a picute of the scene where we played, and we sat on this side of the scene. Marc and I had the two spots to the right. My last picture will be my own, dedicated to hltv.org and this memory at BIT#5: www14.speedyshare.com/files/23529811/download/IMG%200042.JPG <- This was actually my mousepad back in 2008, and at BIT#5.

Hi hi .. nice stories .. the only difference is that you all afford buying it :( . I am comming from a very poor country called Romania , where this kind of mouse can cost half of month salary ... and i have kids to feed, bills to play , food to buy .... and no matter how big my love for gaming, and for this product is, there isn't any way i can buy this :( I am still playing with my ball mice since 1998 , and my home made pad ( made out of sandstone , but don't worry about the mousepad , it is more rezistent then all those fancy mouse pads made from i don't know what matterials ,and the best part is that.. when i will have enough money to buy more sandstone, i can use this piece for the kitchen floor :D ) About the mouse, i am very attached to it ... i played with him all my life... started from pod_bot on cs 1.5 to professional gaming ... i am practically using it since the day i also use hltv.org to watch demos and live matchs of my favorite teams ... and i though that there isn't any better way to show my love then writing my love message on the mouse :) . Still, there comes a time when i need a mouse change, and the best way to not forget my love for hltv.org... is to win one right here :))) . Sorry about my bad english, not enough money for a good education also :( img94.imageshack.us/i/dsc04295.jpg/ img442.imageshack.us/f/dsc04300z.jpg/

Hi HLTV.org crew. I'd like to share with u my experience which I had with my old a4tech x7 mouse. This mouse saw everything: my exams, e-mails, conversations via MSN, pages I've visited, files I've downloaded, my dinner, and even me naked. and others. She know 2much about me! Let she disappear! But moment, there is another, more important issue! My beloved little sister broke my mouse. She said that she would buy me a brand-new friend. I said: "Xai, Margaret!". She does not know the prices, so on I'm feeling like damn, I did sth wrong and used her! After seeing the news on HLTV.org I came with a gr8 idea. I talked to my sis that if she will help me to win in a competition she won't need to repurchase her sins! So HLTV.org please help my sis and also me to win this twisted, awesome mouse!!! And that's the way she helped me: i30.tinypic.com/whb6lc.jpg :D Greetings, faken-

Hey, i think i could probably use a new mouse now, seen as my ones in such bad condition, i took care of it but after so many years it slowly started going emo and shredding itself :( I go to LANs with my friends and every time i pull my mouse out they laugh at me, but i still have faith in my mouse regardless. The buttons are flimsy and it's really difficult to play with, so i usually borrow a friends mouse at LAN (this gets annoying as i have to get used to his mouse each time) If i won a XAI, i'd have the best mouse out of all my friends, and i'd have the same experience both at lans and at home :D I made an attempt at making a picture with my webcam: i28.tinypic.com/5ogvnp.jpg But then after seeing Nix0n find faults with everyones pictures, i thought i'd take a nicer one incase theres something wrong with it :p Here is my serious picture: i26.tinypic.com/307p92u.jpg Closeup of HLTV: i25.tinypic.com/oiaivp.jpg Thanks!

Hi HLTV.ORG. I am Haris from Kosovo and my story goes like this... Once upon a time it was a guy and a mouse... This guy's name was Haris and the mouse name was Microsoft 1.1 But the guy called him Intelli,they had a verygood relationship since 5years now Haris played with Intelli CS for 5years and more.. They played all day and night long,many said they were created for each other And they were very very happy together,but one day she decided to broke with him cuz she said that she is too old for him and he is too young.. It was a complet SHOCK FOR HIM! he couldn't play cs for a long time because he was missing Intelli.. :( One day he was surfing on the internet and for one moment when he walked on the steelseries.com he saw that crazy laser,the size,weight Oh yes u can say it LOUDLY it was THE NEW STEELSERIES MOUSE XAI. He was just thinkin that she is perfect designed just for him And from that day he fell in love with XAI.<3 He has a problem that he can't have her because they are too far away. So it would be very helpful from you if you could find Haris's love. THIS IS HOMEMADE a.imageshack.us/img225/1286/dsc01442a.jpg AND THIS IS FOR HLTV !!!PLEASE HLTV PIMP MY MOUSE!! a.imageshack.us/img706/8797/xaiiibrannew.jpg

Hello ! I have been playing Counter-Strike is already 4 years old, but I can not save for a decent mouse, I play like not bad but not as dominant can not because my mouse is too weak and in hot situations, it just does not stand up = ( Sometimes it is that the left button is squeezed, and I have to spend 30 seconds on what would overcome it, would love to win a new mouse =) img841.imageshack.us/img841/6062/dsc0093..

Another great contest from HLTV.org Starting off, my mouse might not be as bad as those other mice but there are many bad details on it. I have had my intellimouse 3.0 for about 5 years. First of all, my mouse has paint coming off of it right in the center, you should see a beige circle and line under it as you can see in this picture yfrog.com/b9picture2zsj Secondly, there are little dots of black and white on the side of my mouse for no reason and i have no clue how to get them off....as you can see here although the image quality is very bad and you can see only some of them yfrog.com/4opicture3rlj Another problem as many of you might know about is the mwheel bug of when it presses by itself and actually now it is getting very severe and it's really starting to piss me off... Here is the final image of my mouse.. yfrog.com/cbpicture4uej To finish off and to make this post more interesting and fun for the HLTV staff and the fellow Hltv.org community, I'd like to share my setup with you guys which is 100 percent real and what it looks like when i play cs1.6 yfrog.com/mrpicture1rjj yfrog.com/7epicture5eyj P.S. I think i should win this mouse just for my setup LOL!

Well, I bought my Logitech MX518 3 years ago after starting playing CS 1.6 and I play with him since then. This mouse has seen many things and it has many hours of play. Not only CS, but other games and more stuff. I was thinking about buying a new mouse since this mouse is kind of old and it's kinda worn and I saw this contest and I decided to participate. In this photo you can't see it because the quality sucks but if you see my mouse really close you would ask if he has been on war. It looks like but he only had wars against my hand and I was talking about real wars so no, he hasn't been on war. I really want this mouse because I want a new/better one. Photo: img828.imageshack.us/img828/1575/welovehltv.jpg The photo is lame, but I had nothing to do and I was kinda bored. Sorry :/ It says "We" because my mouse loves HLTV.org too (: Colous = Portuguese Flag (:

my story is quite simple... my mouse used to be that one in the photo for 2 years, and cost 10euros or something... now when i'm playing, my mouse just stop working for some seconds, and then works again. I'm not sure about it, but when he does that, i guess he think's he's a ninja trying to fade... :O So,that's my story. I hope the Xai come to kill my ninja. Picture : i27.tinypic.com/286thed.jpg

Okay guys, sit down comfortably, take your beer/tea/coffee/vodka/whiskey/joint and listen to my story. When i tried to play cs at the first time, i didn't think so serious about it (i was hugely wrong) as i do right now. The first impulse, when i changed my attitude, mind and my whole life was few minutes after i've visited this hltv.org page. I was completely, totally shocked, and the world of the biggest counter strike community sucked me in deeply. Those noobs flaming each other all the time, those fantastic fan boys shouting their team is best even tho they lost 10 matches in a row, those wankers commenting every photo where a women pops up and saying she's unbeliveably hot, even when she's not at all. Jesus Christ, i was amazed and in love with hltv.org just like young movie stars are when they visit hollywood! But since im very ambicious man, being just a part, a brick of this community have become not enough for me really really soon. I wanted to be the top of it, i wanted to be loved, admired and flamed on forums, i dreamt about being a CELEBRITY!!! Here my story starts for real. I wanted to be a pro player, so as everyone knows really well, the thing that makes you skilled the most, is not the time you spend, or the experience, or talent, its EQUIPPMENT! So next day i took all my savings and bought the most expensive mouse i could afford, which is (hrrr!) Razer DeathAdder. This was the worst choice i've ever made in my life, because the performance of this item is just terrible!!! How can you imagine that after 3 days of playing cs with deathadder, my rating on FFA servers still was below 1?! This is obviously the mouses fault. I really collapsed after that time, i cried almost every day, started to visit the psychiatrist, but still, nothing helped. And today, i sadly entered the hltv.org page again, and a new bright fantastic light of hope just came into my heart again!!!! I still have the chance to be the best, again! The dream about guys commenting my photos from tournaments ("Look, Wyrwiflak is looking at the gtr's pennis!", "Lol at Wyrwiflak's face", "Wyrwiflak focused", "Wyrwiflak unfocused, happy, mad, sad etc!"), and having all the best chicks playing cs is not over yet! You, hltv gave me the hope again. You gave me the love again. I'm not scared of looking at my deathadder anymore, im cured! Thats why I'm gonna fight to death so you can send me this fantastic SteelSeries Xai mouse, which will certainly help me get back on the top again! For you guys, the whole fantastiv hltv community, i gave you the expression of my madness at deathadder and simultaneously, my express of love to the hltv.org! img338.imageshack.us/img338/6562/20100726018.jpg You better appreciate my sacrifice, as the blue one is a permament marker, so it wont be easy to get it off my tits. You say im lying? Then check that out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=2siBfCkx9IE Thats all guys, hope you liked it, since its not that easy to make an idiot of yourself, and hide from parents not to make them think there's something wrong with you. Cheers :)

Hi HLTV.org. I'm mest and i need a new mouse. My story is something like that. I had a microsoft intellimouse 3.0, but in last weekend when it came to Ian, a group of guys stolen my lan bag. I was there, steelseries siberia v1, razer lycosa, ss qck and microsoft intellimouse explorer 3.0. As I had some money, I could buy a new lycosa, new siberia and new ss qck, but I had no more money to buy a new mouse. My mother does not understand the difference between a good mouse and a bad mouse, then as she had a ball mouse, gave me and says there is no need to buy a new mouse. Now i've a A4Tech Wheel 3D Ball Mouse and i want a new mouse :( PS: sorry my sh*t english. Photo: img230.imageshack.us/f/hltv.jpg/

In recent years I've always played with a mouse than any professional gamer, loved it and many still do. It's IE 3.0, so instead of telling a story about myself and the mouse, I'll write a story about this "mice" which may also be a good bet,but i think that any kind of "random" player that make some ambition to be a professional player, or a "high level" one, should exclude this mouse from its list of material. Well, not being a ball mouse, this mouse built by microsoft, is thought to have many cons, which are not very beneficial for gamers, especially counter-strike ones because it's a game where the precision is one of the points to the success : The worst-problem of this mouse, Has many players know, and that's one of the Reasons to change it by another one, Its the "mouse bug" which means to walk in the game and with no knowing of it,u jump, which can change a lot of things, like to be doing a defuse, and no more, no less, u jump, and the owner does not have no trick or something to stop this bug... wtv. Another thing to consider in 3.0, is the non fast answer of the clicks, also some hardness of the keys (mouse1; mouse2), its only a right handed mouse, and seriously its an ugly design ... Well, this mouse is enough for me, and i would love to get it changed. So if I'm Supposed to win, i would like to, if i don't, i will not die, and i will say "Mate, the defuse, is yours:)" Sorry for my bad english, and u stay with a nice pic by me, the 3.0 hater :) img72.imageshack.us/i/hltvorgalws.jpg/ / img72.imageshack.us/f/hltvorgalws.jpg/ / img59.imageshack.us/i/dsc0014vl.jpg/ edit reason : an error in the link

2010-07-26 17:11

This one is a BIG story with a lot of crap, i thought it should be a big story but ok... It was in October 2002 I was about 11 years old and my brother entered in college where he made some new friends, after a few weeks he found that some of his friends hanged around LAN houses playing a reallistic first person shooting game calledCounter Strike, He liked the game a lot so he brought It home, and showed it to me for the first time, I was already excited with the loading screen a SWAT guy with a pistol (it was the 1.5 version WON) and when he was chossing a map to start I said "de_inferno choose that one, it has a cool name!) And I was delighted because before that I was only able to play games before 1996 because I had an 486 120 Mhz and a graphic card with 1 Mb and 16 Mb of RAM. The only game I have played fully 3Dengine was Quake and what excited me most was a thing that I never saw in a game you had teammates helping you! (the game came with POD bots!) I loved the game so much, walking around killing those bots with realistic weapons and so dangerous, itwould only take a few shots to die!, unfortunatly at that time I didn´t had any kind of internet connection, actually the first time I had internet at home was in 2007 when I started playing CS seriously (and at that time really sucked it was 256 bps speed!) anyway I played CS for hours against those POD bots in skill between 60-100 which was the default I quickly made my 2 favourite maps cs_militia and de_nuke and I loved to shoot them with the AWP, nowadays I hate de_nuke and I rarely use the AWP!, I used a trackball mouse in a clothed mousepad about 15 centimeters large wich I got in a breakfast cereals box. Also the computer was an celeron 2xx Mhz so I probabily played about 10-20 fps max at that time ( my brother always yeeling at me each time I chosed cs_office and de_cbble because the game would get so slow that it would take about 3 minutes to acess the menu and exit the map!, It was horrible conditions to play but I was a kid unaware of it, (and now I am paranoid about having conditions to play, thats why I am writing this shitty story) But in that 2002 cristhmas my brother received one of the most important gifts for me in my life, from my rich cousin: an white optical mouse from Microsoft wich 6 years later I found that it was called Microsoft Intelli Mouse Optical 1.1 PS/2. And I started to play worse! I got used to the trackball old hardware, but the buttons where severly damaged from those rage moments where the bots headshooted me! so I really had to play with this new mouse! And guess what? We are in 2010 and I still use that same mouse! It had fall of the table a lot of times, now its yellow and between the buttons there is some kind of black dirt/goo, when I touch it my hands get oily because once I decided to eat chips while playing, and I can´t clean it! The MOUSE5 doesn´t work and the right mouse button is jammed a long time ago and because of it I had never became a good awper because I can´t scope! (also because I have no mousepad and play with a Pentium III about 800 mhz and have something like 30 fps in game and it is hard to use the AWP) the mouse wheel is a bit buggy, and the feet are a bit wore off from using a rugged old painting that my mom wanted to put in the garbage as a mousepad! But it is still in a reasonable condition to play CS, and since I have been using it for so long I was afraid of changing it, actualy I would like more to receive a mousepad from this story, well lets get to the other part of the story were I found HLTV.org. When I started playing against humans for the first time in Steam platform around 2007, I got really addicted to the game, and I was already a bit skilled from all those years playing against bots, so I quickly got into stronger CS teams for a newcomer, and one of those teams the leader said to me once: You are pretty skilled for someone who plays since CS for 5 months, but you probabily never watched a demo from a professional player did you? I said no, so he pointed me this website www.hltv.org and explained all those details about watching matches and he told me that if I watched a lot of matches and demos I would become smarter and more skilled and thats what I did, I watched every team that was in the highlight when I had time , (I think the first game I watched here in HLTV.org was Gravitas gaming against other team which I dont remember) and I quickly found who were the best teams, the best players, so I learned a lot from them, specially about positioning, one day I downloaded an old demo, I had hear about a team called NoA that where #2 in the world (so I thought) so I downloaded a match of them between Begrip, I started by watching shaguar because he had an original badass name, but then a player from Begrip called dsn in dust2 entered in the B bombsite making 2 great frags and then I said to myself : This one looks good, I am going to watch him until the end of the match, and so I did and I started following this players where I learned one of my favorite spots in d2. Because of HLTV.org I found the concept of being a professional player wich I had never heard before and I made that a goal for me and started to play CS 24/7 and watching demos. One of those demos allowed me to pick up some good action from a player from team SoA (I think it was Arcadion but I am not sure, the only thing I remember from his nickname is the dansk metal wich I thought it was part of it!) And in an important training match against a skilled team that I wanted to enter because I knew they were from my area and I could go LAN with them I really wanted to do a good game so I focused a lot in doing well and using that knowledge from that SoA match I won an 1 vs 4 with the bomb planted in inferno A bombsite with a double HS from AK. They said to me: ns! I made a good score, but actually we lost 16-5 or something and one of them put me in his friends list, which later I entered their team but got kicked 2 days later (I got nervous about impressing them and made bad scores altough I won an 1 vs 2 in a fashionly way) I got really sad, and after that I wandered in various noob internet teams that lasted about 1-2 weeks where I found a good player from my area too where later I got in his team wich is my actual team, but they were a strong team I was kind of their worst player, it was annoying because I knew I could do better and I was smarter than them but I just missed the shots and coduld´t spray well without knowing why (probabily because of terrible hardware conditions), and again I got kicked and replaced for a player that later they found that he cheated. Until a few months ago they went to an small LAN tournament and they needed a stand in, they got no one else in their area but me, so they invited me and threatened me that I would get beated up if I din´t do a good performance! So I did, they all laughed at me because I went there with my great mousepad: An periodic table of elements that was offered to me at school! and my yellow oily dirty mouse! The major problem was that that mouse was PS/2 port and the newer computers dont have those kind of ports, only USB ports, so I asked the LAN assitant for a mouse and he borrowed me an 3.0 mouse wich wasn´t much different from my 1.1. And guess what? I was delighted, for the first time I was playing with 100 fps and with a mouse that slided so smoothly in that periodic table! And I was their best player and one of the best in the whole tournament, we unfurtonatly got eliminated in the playoffs against a team that we knew we could win, and I made an ace on de_nuke as CT in an key round and we still lost it. Now I am and important player from their team, but they dont like me much, because we are still a team doing the transformation from the Internet to LAN, and we have a lot of internet matches against strong teams and I always underperform because I have poor playing conditions at home, and I can´f afford money to buy better hardware because I failed in the driving exam and now I have to pay it again from my own pocket, My teammates think its funny that a player is good at LAN and bad at playing in home, because for 90% of the players it is the other way around. And thats why I wrote this whole lot of crap with poor english, because I am looking for new conditions so that I can train better and become something else, I quickly realised trough HLTV.org and the community that being a pro player specially in my country is a pathetic unrealistic goal, so I slowed down my playing time, now my goals are getting into a decent strong team and go to an international tournament as an extremly low seeded team and get my nickname written in the lineup pre match page and maybe in the dreamteam game where someone would buy me and put me as a newbie role! That is my goal! And withouth HLTV.org I would never understand the true concept of playing counter strike with skill, dedication as I improved a lot tacticaly from watching matches or I probabily would get tired of playing as I also understood the rough unrealistic and short privileged world of being a professional player. Finnaly this crappy true story came to and end!, so much for scrounging a mouse! In the photo there is my pathetic periodic table that I use as a mousepad my old kellogs mousepad, my dirty 1.1 mouse damaged from 8 years of intensive play (but it isnt noticeable on the pic, and a paper where I written notes while watching the matches from GameGune of players I want to download POV´s if available so upload them! img137.imageshack.us/f/260710155202.jpg/ img63.imageshack.us/i/matchx.jpg/ And thanks for being so fast with the news and 100% functional 24/7 a day website, because all the other CS scene coverage sites are dead!

Here is my story: I used to be a happy and nearly satisfied owner of an Intelli 3.0 (scrollbug appeared etc.. only the usual) until it passed away as a result of an argument between me and my (ex)girlfriend. Yes she decided not to slap me but went for my mouse (I guess she knew what really hurts me). She was so fast I could do nothing but watch her smacking my mouse on the table like three times giving out so terrific sounds (both my mouse and girlfriend), I almost burst out crying. After she left I fell down on my knees holding the dying mouse whispering my goodbye message into its sensor. Now I'm using my old (from 2005-6?) A4-Tech X7 with broken right click and skipping sensor. I don't really have money for gaming equipment at the moment so I decided to grab this chance. Here is the last picture of my 3.0 alive, (ignore Ashley Olsen supporting my monitor...): i27.tinypic.com/wj9ide.jpg Pic is like 2-3 weeks old. And the new-old setup with my X7 and HLTV drawing: i28.tinypic.com/1o1yco.jpg

I got my intelli 1.1 now more than a year and before the text (:P) -> i wanted to buy this week on Wednesday/Thursday a new Mouse, because my 1.1 makes sometimes doubleklicks. This sucks really because on some situations i cant win the Round. I want to do singleshots and it makes burst. I HATE IT! + On the left Side of the Mouse its a littlebit Open but thats not the big Problem. On the Desktop, i want to do watch a Video and i Start it, it gos fast back to it. To my New Mouse i wanted to buy the Kinzu, i heared good Stuff about it, if the Saturn have one. If not i think i go back to the Intelli. :)

Hey guys my name is Simão, I´ve playing Counter-Strike since a while and I´ve been changing mouse like 2 times a month. My very first mouse was an old MS 1.1a white, which looked great for me, until I go to the local lan´s and see shinny and high performance mice, like Razers, Steelseries, Logitechs ... what a shame :S Fortunately for me, I play very well (joking :P) and I can compessate with my unknown skills. But I think that is not enough, a lucky bullet is not the same as a perfect calculated headshot, everybody knows it. The accuracy that none of the mouses that I´ve tried, or have now, can offer. All of them seemed to be a poor try to reach what only one mouse could give, accuracy, performance, style and pleasure . And yes, that mouse is...is... XAAAAAAII So, please, If you feel shame on me, all I need is one more opportunity, a chance, I need that Xai :) Pls HLTV.org, Pimp my mouse :D P.S.

I am writing this letter to HLTV.org, in the hope that i can send my old mouse to the morgue. If you'll see in the picture below it has no right click, for i am forced to use an Apple mouse and it makes me sick. When playing counter-strike i can barely cope, because i cant enable a silencer or even use a scope. I cant even use the right-click with the knife to do a stab, I am forced to slash the enemies and barely give them a jab. Nor can i use a silenced USP to pretend im James Bond, and believe me going 007 is something of that I am quite fond. Trying to awp without a scope is really quite annoying, but i think with this SteelSeries Xai I could start destroying. So please HLTV.org consider giving me this new SteelSeries gear, and if you ever come to a tournament in Australia i'll buy you a beer :) img541.imageshack.us/img541/988/p1000108.jpg

I am on college and i live with 3 more people sharing the apartment and i have to pay the rent, i also buy a car 2 years ago and i am paying for him to, so i have to many bills to pay and the college propins to, and i always put some money by part to pay the lan tournments and material to play,etc, but is not enough and recently i have to bought a new headset.So has i said before, unflurtunely my 3.0 broke the mouse1 button and i alredy open to try to fix but without sucess and i need a new one, a good one, and this is a good chance because i am without playing during 2 weeks and i really want this mouse ;) yfrog.com/n0hpim0633j yfrog.com/jchltvp

why I should receive the SteelSeries Xai? I think I should receive the mouse because I'm one of the biggest fans of HLTV.org. I follow almoast every big event and I visit this page every day several times to read the news. My current mouse is a MS Intellimouse 3.0 which I have since 2007. Playing every day Counter-strike with this mouse has left alot of marks in this mouse. I think it is time to change the mouse and try something better, newer and currently the best mouse is the new SS Xai. The most sad thing about this mouse is that I even can't buy it in Slovenia and i have to order the mouse from a store outside my country. That means that I have to pay alot for shipping. I hope I have convinced you guys from HLTV.org. p.s. Keep up with the really great work @ HLTV.org Regards Rok 'J4zzm4n' Meznarič pic1:www.shrani.si/f/R/aV/3RcHb35V/037.jpg pic2:www.shrani.si/f/R/aV/3RcHb35V/037.jpg

Hello hltv.org I'm going to tell you a story. A little happy boy runs out of a computer shop holding his brand new MX518. He goes home, plugs it in and starts playing Counter-Strike 1,6. He uses the MX518 for the next 2 years, then everything went bad, the MX518 starts to freeze every 5sec so he can't play with. The boy searched everywhere in his house and he found 2mices, 1 wireless Logitech mouse that his sister owned and she wouldn't give it to him, and the "ultimate" HP mouse which has no mouse1 button. So for a year the boy has been playing with some crappy HP mouse that has no mouse1 button and he shoots with mouse2 and zoom by pushing the scroll (cs 1,6). He really wants a new mouse, he has been thinking about buying XAI for a long time but money isn't something that falls of trees so this contest could help him finally getting a new mouse and throw the HP with no mouse1 in the trash. This is my story and I was 14 when i bought my MX518 and now I'm 17, I maybe wasn't little but still :) Here is my first photo: img686.imageshack.us/i/picture001wc.jpg/ my mousepad (SteelSeries QcK mass) and my HP mouse that has no mouse1 button and my old MX518 that stopped working last year :$ and the paper that i wrote I <3 HLTV.ORG on. And here is a close up photo of the HP mouse img251.imageshack.us/i/picture002sb.jpg/ P.S. I suck at handwriting =) Love to you HLTV.org, Please give me Steelseries Xai <3.

Hi all. This is my story. Currently I'm using Intellimouse 1.1 + QcK WOTLK edition. In my opinion it's legendary mouse and looks very simple in the same time. I bought it 3-4 years ago, because my friends and teammates recommended it. First time I touch it I thought : "No. That's not for me". Mouse was heavy unlike my old Genius mouse. First match I played with my team we lose so close 16-14, and the reason we lose was I. Next day I said for myself “I will never use IE 1.1”. And I used to play with my old mouse until……..until my Genius mouse has broken :D. So I decided if my friends play well with it, I can play with it well too. I added some bots on aim map and started training with them, then I played deathmatches on public to improve my aim with it and finally I started to play with my team and of course trying to not disappoint them like last match I played with IE 1.1. I felt that I started to play better than with my old Genius mouse. IE 1.1 was as part of my body, I didn’t feel this mouse in my hand and I controlled spray well. I really want to say I played my best with IE 1.1 for two years. But one day I had a bad mood and I lost situation 1 on 1 at de_nuke after planting a bomb and being killed by terrorist with a glock (they had eco round =] ),I didn’t control myself and I hit my mouse on the table twice :D. Result was that I broke it. I repaired it but I’m not good with it like before. This is not about that this mouse doesn’t work well, I’m just feeling tired. I played many years with it. I think Xai is right choice. SS Xai is gonna be a new challenge for me like my current mouse before 4 years was. And I hope it’ll help me to reach new heights in my gaming. pic : h.imagehost.org/view/0103/DSC_0209

I wanna tell you story about my mousepad. Couple of years ago there weren't any shops here where you could buy a good mouse or mousepad so it was up to your creativity to do so. You could find a decent mouse (in my case MX518) but about mousepads, it wasn't possible (and if it was they were too expensive). That's where above mentioned creativity kicks in. You need to make CUSTOM one, but to be good as a professional one. You need a big piece of rubber that's used for shoes, you need glue and of course textile! You cut the rubber in the size you want (mine was big - that's what she said j/k) you put glue on top of it, wait for a couple of minutes and you put the textile on the top of it and leave it for a couple of hours and you're good to go. So... Costs for custom mousepad? Rubber - 2euros, glue - 1 euro, textile - 2 euros. Custom Mousepad = 5 euros... I actively use it for years but I'm saving money to buy better (professional) one, and what's the best that goes with pro-pad? It's XAI. Since I've been saving for buying new pad I PRINTED (videoflex printing) something on my custom one to show my <3 for HLTV :) img138.imageshack.us/img138/6064/hltvorg.jpg Bonus: AK-47 Keychain

Greetings to all. Has seen this message and has thought: "And why would be not present?" I'm from Russia (Sorry for my English :)). I play Counter-Strike from version 1.5. Participated in several local LAN tournaments, but to win them to my team is not allowed at that time, skill games and, of course, lack of quality devices. Being the player "with a brain", penetrated into game of other teams, often observing of their games through hltv translations which found on hltv.org. (For what many thanks to all who works over this resource). At first I had mouse A4TECH x7 x-710MK that is natural not so well, but nevertheless it is better than anything. "Anything" is my very old first mouse from whom I have started to play - OKLICK 710 L. But, because of a deterioration and the bad laser which hanged at sharp movements, has replaced on x7. Then there was money and I have replaced x7 with more comprehensible mouse. To it there was mouse SteelSeries Ikaru Optical. Together with it has got also mousepad SteelSeries QCK + Basically, for my level of that time, it sufficed. But, alas, once, when I and my team gathered on LAN tournament, to be exact we already have almost arrived, my bag with my things has fallen and... Ikaru has broken, since all blow has had on it... It was for me then huge loss... :) But, what to do, it was necessary to return to x7. But also she has lived not for long. The laser at a mouse has broken. To buy new easier, than to repair it. And now I on "box lunch", without CS and tournaments, since on a table at me again OKLCIK. The mouse already fell, paternal on the case there is a scratch, the left button have scratch too because of frequent clicks. I hope that I will win SS XAI that will give me good possibility to prove and show result even better the previous. 2HLTV.org Thanks you for your reviews of events, illumination are interesting matches, interview to the players, the interesting statistics, for a huge collection of records of games top teams. Thanks. I love you <3 :) a.imagehost.org/0325/26072010443.jpg a.imagehost.org/0644/26072010441.jpg i.imagehost.org/0427/26072010444.jpg

(put some extra focus on the picture, the rest is why i hate my mouse) --------------------------------------- Hello hltv.org. Almost four years ago i purchased a Microsoft Intellimouse 3.0. You will not believe the pain it has caused me. The first problem i noticed was that it refuses to respond after my computer has been in sleep-mode. And i like sleep mode. It's fast. The second problem is that, quite often, the mouse likes to jump to the top left corner when not in-game. You can not understand how annoying this is unless you've experienced it. The third problem is that 3 of the screws on the bottom come off nicely. I have spent over 4 hours trying to open that ONE FREAKING SCREW. The fourth problem, which has been happening for less than a week, which would be fixable if it weren't for the third problem is that when i click once, about 50 percent of the time the computer thinks i clicked twice very quickly. I'm not even going to explain how annoying this is, not to mention it hurts my gaming in a lot of situations. The last problem is that i caught my mouse cheating on me today after coming from work, so it's got to go. img80.imageshack.us/img80/7672/mouseo.jpg edit:linked pic

Hi guys, nice contest. Well this is my mouse story. I played with this mouse for 1 and a half years (one year after I started playing counter-strike) because I didn't have money to buy a gaming mouse and even this one was stolen from my uncle. And let me tell you that IS VERY ANNOYING but after you use it one and a half years you start to play like an average player and I know I will play better if I would have a gaming mouse. First of all if I play more then three hours of counter-strike I don't even feel my right thumb from the right hand because I need to move that ball. Well now I ordered a new mousepad and I really need this mouse because in 2 months I would start to play on a pro championship in Romania (PGL) with some of my best friends. Please HLTV.org I need that mouse! img594.imageshack.us/img594/5066/44661492.jpg

Why should I win the SteelSeries xai? My name is Cesar and I live in Lima-Peru, my beginning in what are CyberGames are in the middle of 2004, but really was a noob, new mid- 2008-2009 I started to play more optimistic (Counter-strike) and I started to improve, I always played without hardware until one day a friend told me that gamers use mouse, keyboard, audio and special pad for these games; so I put the idea of having my own hardware. Already in early 2009 and some experience in this game I join with my brother (twin) and a group of friends and decided to join my team called "aFo.LMI" bloodzone.net/forums/showthread.php?t=54.. Fortunately for my liking and all members had with its own hardware except my brother and I so we could not be the exception, Unfortunately when I went to find hardware prices were very high prices and it became impossible the idea of having my own hardware, another friend told me that at a forum in which was a member was a section in which other gamers unless they sold their hardware prices, since they were in poor condition, so I had no other choice but to buy this half and that was eager to have my own hardware. So over time I devoted to buying and selling as I learned more about the characteristics of each mouse, I had the opportunity use: DeathAdder, MS 3.0, g3, MX518, all in poor condition, until my DeathAdder failure and I run out mouse for a gamer my luck was selling a MS 1.1a to S/.30.00 ($ 10.00) so do not waste the opportunity and buy it and from late 2009 until now I have my 1.1a, and when I turned User of hltv.org (2008) even though I signed in 2009, saw many demos and videos on youtube, until I saw the Kinzua and stayed SteelSeries Surprisingly, however later I saw and liked SteelSeries xai much more by the two buttons you have on the left, until now I keep expecting someone to offer this mouse on S/.60 ($ 20,000) since it is the maximum that could be spent, as I do not have much money and little I have I have to distribute between my brother and I both play. I give everything for this game spend hours of hours practicing with bots, as well as playing online FFA, DM, MR, etc. I always spend watching demos, povdemos, creating strategies for my team, investigating commands, options, editing settings, allow me to improve in this game, because I have always tried to be the best in what I do and counter strike is not the exception since it is not just a simple game for me is much more and if there is anything that I can help this dream alacanzar is to have a decent hardware, and more is why I think I win this contest. It is so today Monday July 26th, 2010 I just see a contest in hltv.org, in which one can tell your story and show your love by hltv.org and you can win a "STEELSERIES XAI" is how the end of my history, hoping to win the contest and to have a hardware porfin in good condition I hope you understand my translation but unfortunately no English so I had to translate Internet, thank you very much in advance HLTV.org, take care =)

Hello everyone and thanks for giving this HLTV.org chance of gaining the best mouse that humanity has ever seen. I already have this mouse too long. A really long time. And he is not the one mouse that used to be. He was barking, getting caught, the wire is very thin and I fear that strikes, he gathers dirt easily on the sides, I've had to change the feet of him often, and in the middle of the game it starts to hang. When I'm about to throw him to the sight or move alone. I do not know what else to do! I have no money to buy another, I have no money left to buy a good mousepad. Both the mousepad that appears in the picture I had to do improvise :) Throughout my gamer life I always wanted a Xai, for me is the best mouse gamer in the world and I do not change my opinion! Always try to make it through HLTV.org both by Dreamteam as the competitions promoted. I have not had the luck to win, but keep trying and know one day I can win my baby mouse who just do not love you more than the <HLTV.org3. Once, I was alone in my house, needy, and decided to talk with your mouse! I dubbed Jerry. Jerry was a good mouse but like everything, is coming to an end. Jerry will die soon and I have to change it! I played a lot with him, about 4-8 hours a day, we were very happy, now I have to retire it. Maybe I can be happy with the Steelseries Xai, but only if I win the competition. Sorry, this subject touches me very emotional, I'm crying just thinking about the fact that it will be hard to win the Xai. BUT I WANT IT, I WANT TO MUCH, I LOVE THE SAME LOVE HLTV.ORG Xai, Xai I WANT! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. Well, this is the story of my mouse! Here is my mouse img685.imageshack.us/img685/674/s4022541.jpg Here is a piece of my love for HLTV.org the other party was too big and not fit! img683.imageshack.us/img683/5773/lovehltvorglove.jpg

I have a mouse, but its very old, so old that i call "Nelson Mandela" already have 3 years-old. His head (scroll) not working well because slide easily and not hold. When he walks on qck (rarely) sometimes he falls below the qck and he gets damage . He is so old that when he eats drops the food on their habitat, qck +, after the food is crushed, and her house is dirty. I want a new mouse, a new companion for send "Nelson Mandela" for a home of mice, where he will have better conditions so i give better conditions to my new mouse I (L) HLTV.org ---->img193.imageshack.us/img193/9463/dsci418..

My name is Sergio and my mouse is 3 years old, I want to change it. I love Xai and HLTV.org. The reason why I want to replace it for the Xai is because it is old and too warm. It moves too much and it is not very precise. It hasn't got enough buttons. It loves fruit and red pepper and I call it Chispa (like 'spark' in english) img299.imageshack.us/img299/6092/26072010639.jpg img46.imageshack.us/img46/3219/26072010641.jpg

Hello there, i'll tell you some serious story here. I am playing cs, and for a long time i have a mouse called "7th sense", so that seventh sense basically makes me a cheater. Playing with cheat for that long period of time i actualy became pretty good at cs, and now i want to try cs without cheat. I don't want to be rude and ask you to GIVE xai to me, so i will send you my 7th sense. It's full of wisdom and experience, his age is unknown and it's probably few years older than me, and i'm 35. Mouse sometimes takeover control over pc, and does some pretty usefull stuff. You can give it to Jonathan for example, so the mouse can delete inapropriate posts by himself, but i doubt you could part ways with this technological miracle once you try it.

Hello everybody my name is Miguel, my mouse is very cheap, which means that it is not very good for all types of games, because it is very small and honestly I have no money to buy a medium quality and a SteelSeries any better! My favorite game is Counter-Strike, really am very good to carry only two years playing it, I even did a videofrag, which I think is enough for me, I imagine the vast improvement that obtained with a SteelSeries Xai, would be incredible and dream come true. In addition I consider myself a true fan of gaming, always visit HLTV.org, fnatic and SK website, and other gaming sites. I'm from Arica, Chile, a small country in South America, from here I write with affection and a big hug for all HLTV.org, do a spectacular job! PS: my first videofrag youtube.com/watch?v=uVu3q6Bqw6E made by a Chilean editor 'almeja'. (Old frags) PS2: My youtube channel is youtube.com/user/mktwstahl2 videos of my frags (Miguel 'Stahl' Vergara), but I'm not made editor is not set on that please: P PD3: Sorry for the English, I speak Spanish :( img844.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=dsc00025z..

hi hltv.org hi steelseries.. My mouse is IE 3.0, is my second 3.0 mouse and my 3 gaming mouse, already had IE 1.1 and x7. This is my second mouse becouse the other one day to other never get on again. I like this mouse has only two cons, mousebug and the shape, some times i press mouse2 unintentionally. I think xai is the best mouse, already see some reviews and the opinion of best players about xai. Have also experienced the xai, in XLParty and is very very good.. why? becouse is very precise, i like the shape and fit in my hand is the main reason of my opinion. image: img15.imageshack.us/img15/3687/dsc00864oh.jpg gl all

Tryin' a more poetic approach ::) Feel close to faint but still dare through rage, Feel it rough, feel it tender Move it liberal, move it elusive Feel encouraged, feel lethal, end up dead, come back to life Act fairly, treacherously, cowardly, high-spirited Don't find rest if it is not in victory Show yourself happy, sad,humble, haughty Ignore a clear defeat, Face a clutch as the greatest gift Forget your own stats, sacrifice yourself Believe that there is a gain in a loss Give your money and your guns for a higher goal That is how it feels when playing with a Xai.

Hey, my name is I. 'Striker' Gabriel. I love to play Counter-Strike 1.6 but... my possibilities are kinda low. First of all I want to thanks team HLTV.ORG for the chance to win this mouse. The mouse that I have now is older than an year or more, My level for this game {CS1.6} is much better than middle and all what I want is to become a professional player but I cannot do that because my mouse is very old just like I said above and also is not a mouse for gaming, just for home/office use only. I play Counter Strike since 13 years and I never allowed myself to buy a gaming mouse, like this one :(. So this opportunity that you gave me is an important one because I really want this mouse to improve my skill and to achieve the performance that I want. I love Counter-Strike very much but I know this game needs a good gear to be played and all I have for this gear is just an QCK + pad from Steelseries. If I win this mouse I will be able to complete my gamking gear step by step. Thank you HLTV.ORG. I hope I will win this contest, I really want this mouse... :-< And here is the picture i27.tinypic.com/1089z6f.jpg

This is the history of... DA L0RD OF TEH MICES AND SE7EN LITLE PWNED N00BS: All begins when the magical hand touched the unknowned, the litle and powerful STEELSERIES kinzu. Untill that moment, no one had the power, the skill to control that litle, evil and n00b k1ll3r mouse. Now, trough years of killing, spamming and downloading POV demos and learning the essence of the game at wwwHLTVorg, Frodo "KINZU" Baggins, has found what we all fear the MOST, he found that... he was GAY. He was deeply in love with Samwise "XAI" Gamgee, the most valueble mouse in the shire, land of gayness and super precise mouses, steelseries mouses. Now, the mission has CHANGE, kinzu will do everything to conquer the heart of that powerful mouse. So, trough shitty gay songs, watching movies were love is stronger then anything, techno-gay dancing teletubies and listining to ERRZYs colection of 80's soundtracks, he found the inspiration to write the most no-sense, and stupid love story of gaming history. SO PLEASE, let KINZU be with his precious, XAI, and live happly ever after. PHOTO: (making it) uploaded soon

Hi..I may not have an interesting story and not funny at all like the others ..but I`ve something to tell that`s called reality in my country. I live in a small country in balkan called Kosovo where economic situation is pretty bad where the salary is low and can`t buy any good-gaming mice since they`re pretty expensive so I saw this thread and this competition where hltv.org gives a xai so I said why not to try maybe there is a chance to win it.. I`m using my mice for 8 years since I bought my pc and it came with the pc so all this years I`m playing with a really bad and uncomfortable mouse since I can`t afford a newer one (it`s not comfortable at all and really heavy ) and it sucks when I`m playing cs (you can imagine 8 years :\ ) with it so I would reallyyy reallyy like to get the xai ..hopefully:( img815.imageshack.us/img815/1217/myequipment.jpg this is my old mouse and I think sometimes it could be older than my grandad (lol) and this blue pad is my 8 years old 'QCK Steelseries' which I must stick to the table because it moves on it togethere with the mouse :(

2010-07-27 00:22

I think i should get a new Xai because i bought one for over 90 dollars US when it first came out (a yr ago? give or take?) and mouse 1 clicks multiple times (4-5x) per single click and the mouse-wheel rolls around like the wheel on a toy car, it just spins.... no clicks register or anything ( = no more b-hopping w/ it :/ ) So now i'm stuck in non-ergonomic-ville with a damned death-adder, giving me RSI's n stuff. I contacted Steelseries customer support and they claimed they would replace it... i just have to send it to Europe.... and pay for shipping. I'm pretty poor. So if you could pull some strings.... GET ME A FREE 1 DUDE! I'll send u the old 1 if u think I'm b/s'in.... just pay for shipping lulz!

Well, since I need a new mouse I´ll enter this too. Around 2 years ago I bought a Razer 1,6 Pro mouse and with that a Razer Pro Pad. Today I am still sitting with those two pieces and it has to stop. If I had the economy to change my situation I would but I don´t. So, after two years my mouse is pure crap. The blue light that is supposed to shine has almost stopped. The grey parts are turning brown so it looks like they have taken a bath in shit. The mouse often stops working every 15 minutes which forces me to crawl down under the table and re-plug the contach into my well-covered computer. Sometimes I even hit my head in the table when I´m about to get up from there. The mouse has even experienced a little coca-cola shower. This can´t go on anymore. I have participated in loads of competitions here on HLTV.org but never won anything. I´m hoping that this could change something. I mean, don´t you think that my lovely mousepad(see pic a little bit further down) deserves a better looking mouse than it´s current partner? Well, with that said.. There´s only one thing left to do, here´s my picture for the contest: i496.photobucket.com/albums/rr325/DAAAADOO/DSC00528.jpg

I would like it cause my mx518 right click button only works on the releasing motion of the click...meaning I can't hold it down

Here's my story: At a tournament, i think may 2007, me and my team were talking about mouses, and i said "the best mouse is Microsoft Intellimouse 3.0, got 5 buttons, a NICE scroll, everything you need to KILL everyone, i got this mouse since 2005!" Few hours later at the final, score was 15-14 in de_inferno, my team died leaving me vs 3 guys, i killed everyone, and when i'm defusing we were already celebrating "YESSSSSSSSSS MAN, GOOD JOB" "F*CK THIS WE WON!" and my F*CKING scroll (my jump bind) did that shitty bug,we lost that round and the overtime :S! everyone was laughting, and because of that i stopped playing cs. Now i want to come back but i cant play with this mouse anymore, pls give me a new one! Steelseries Xai is PERFECT for me! This is my mouse, my QcK Steel (both with 6 years) and my love (hltv.org) img28.imageshack.us/i/ilovehltv.jpg/ Please give me the new mouse, and i will buy a new surface and make him happy! :)

A bead of sweat runs down my face. In my disgust I almost garner a sick and twisted pleasure from returning to this god forsaken place. My location? The desert. They call it dust two. Me, well, I just call it dust the s%*t off my poo. 'One more time, One more time,' the words echo in my head, the thoughts of so many naive counter terrorists. Their wallets, never to hold more than sixteen thousand skulls or bones. But the real warriors, they're in it for the thrill. As I arrive the heat almost knocks me down on my face, I stumble and regain my balance as the blood rushes back through my head. What can break this monotony, what can save my will, not another head shot...no, it's going to take more than just another satisfying flick. I need a new weapon, a new arm. I reckon I might finally just give up this rat race if I don't find something quick. Hang up my beaten and bruised mouse and pledge to never again set foot in this desert out of hell. imgur.com/0d1cl.jpg

I'm Icelandic and I have been troubled with volcanoes, our economic situation, the lack of a professional CS team for quite some years and the general hate towards Icelanders in the HLTV.org Skype conversation. Despite everything, I use my mouse fairly much for which the work HLTV.org entails. My mouse is now broke, and I need a new one. Picture will be uploaded when I find a mouse the hotel in Thailand has. Sincerely, Pus :(

data.fuskbugg.se/skalman01/4hltv.JPG As you can see it is a house design for HLTV.org. I decided to make a model in ArchiCAD just to show my appreciation to HLTV.org. You can see here how I built it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gamwCk2oU3o And here is a VBE model file where you can explore this building yourself! Really cool. RECOMMENDED! data.fuskbugg.se/skalman01/HLTV.orgMANSION.rar If you think it's a virus check this out: www.graphisoft.com/products/virtual-building-explorer/ Here's a ArchiCAD drawing data.fuskbugg.se/skalman01/planF1.jpg Anyway. It's time for me to go separate ways with my old Razer Mouse. In old days he have aquired certain habbits which messes up my gaming experience. When I ask him to gently put a bullet through my opponents head he might refuse, or even add an extra shot. Lately he has also begun to lag. As fond as I am of my old mouse, we shared alot together, it's time to move on. I'm currently using a SteelSeries headset, which I love, and I'm eager to test this SteelSeries mouse called Xai.

Expensive HLTV.org I should receive new Steelseries Xai, because: My old, shabby mouse Logitech has become outdated for a long time already, to it about 6 years, its pads were erased for a long time, wire thick, heavy and badly works. I from it haven't won any tournament. All friends call me the old man, for this old and not And with new :( Xai friends me will start to respect the beautiful mouse and I will win all tournaments of city.Thanks in advance. s07.radikal.ru/i180/1007/2a/d98ecb01a05e..

Me and my x7 had some great times together. We've been close friends for some time. Those times were great. First games, first frags and first missed shots. We've been good to each other but sometimes we disappointed each other. And the outcome wasn't pretty. But we still have mutual respect for one and other. As You can all see it's time to part ways, cause my x7 asked for a retirement for a long time now. And I'm just looking for some environmentally friendly scrap heat for it ( makes my heart bleed ). So HLTV I ask You to proide this man with a worthy replacement. And I think that my x7 would be proud to know that Xai would become my new frag machine. So pretty, pretty please. Send me that beauty. Yours sincerely. janusz1900.wrzuta.pl/obraz/35psHgPukEd/100727_130455 janusz1900.wrzuta.pl/obraz/84MTRyUJ1H7/100727_130534 janusz1900.wrzuta.pl/obraz/7hicpzDR6Gx/100727_130521

Hello HLTV.org. My mouse is almost 3 years old, it is a A4Tech x7 mouse, which may worked even longer but is not used only by me, my brothers uses and they have a very heavy hand and the left click a little broken . I do not have a mousepad as you can see in the picture because my budget is small: ( i32.tinypic.com/210eed0.jpg i29.tinypic.com/b69ffl.jpg I spoke with my parents to give me some money to buy a new mouse and mousepad, but this year I entered the university, and made them big expense and disgrace me to them asking for money, because thet wages are little ... Get SteelSeries Xai, it would mean the fulfillment of my most beautiful dream (except one dream with Angelina Jolie : ) ), especially as I'll finally be able to have my own mouse not shared with anyone, and also will be my first and only professional gaming device. I've already tried several times to win a mouse on HLTV.org but without success. At first, I was hoping that I get via dreamteam contest but my players played poorly in the group stage.Then I felt great hope that I will get over HLTV.org betting, but I'm not because I missed only one match: (Here's a picture i48.tinypic.com/lxfmo.png ) I have to say that again I hope that through this contest will get a new mouse. I do not know what more I could say about me and my mouse, so I'll tell HLTV.org great respect not only because this contest where you give professional gaming gear, but also because it allows viewing of all matches and pictures from all competitions. Once again a big thank you and even greater respect . Best regards And this is what I made to show my love and respect to HLTV.org i32.tinypic.com/eg2vlu.jpg

And now i have to tell you my litlle story with CS and Optical Mice, i used about 5 mice from the first time i started playing CS, And we all know what role mice are playing with Cs Player skills, i love my mouse but when i play with my LAN team or home i always face some problemes, sometimes it stop working,sometimes i have to change it with onther one that i'am not used to play with. with this porblemes i can't get my level up because my mouse is not stable, so i'am not stable too, my friends in the team have some good mice (Kinzu, Razer ....) and a good Gaming Gear but me i could't afford one bacause it's too expensive here in our country.

The last event i went to, I was EXTREMELY tired. I ended up passing out on the floor next to my pc after a match... and when I woke up, YEP! my mouse had been stolen... I USED to have a DeathAdder. It's funny because my team said they saw the person who took it but wouldn't even fcking tell me who stole it... I was very mad. So I ended up borrowing some POS mouse during the LAN. When I got home I had no choice but to buy a crappy mouse that was $20 so now I'm stuck with that. I really need this mouse... IMG: img194.imageshack.us/img194/5686/photo04..

I have a Microsoft IntelliMouse 1.1A I have it for 6 month, I bough it from a friend for just 5€ because I had a crapy trust mouse. My friend had a new mice sou he sold me his 3 year old mouse... I messed up the right side button (mouse5 I guess), its working, but I have to press it in a wierd angle. It was suposed to be white, but since it is an old mouse is kind of a dirty white colour. The usb plug was rusty, I had to scratch it with a scissor to get it clean. Like all microsoft mice it has that annoying scroll bug that its unfixable (I have tried to fix it, but nothing works...) and it jumps when I am in a live match defusing a bomb or ready to shoot. And the mouse skates (thanks to my 10€ mousepad) only last about 1 month or so... Having a Xai will be awsome since I dont have any (kind of) good peripherals. (SteelSeries 3H headsets that doesnt have a volume controler thanks to a broke cable and I had to fix it myself, HandStands Zero gamers 10€ hard plastic mousemat, and I play in a laptop so I dont use a keyboard) Good Luck everyone! And here are the links for the photos: img51.imageshack.us/img51/7632/img0002adq.jpg img805.imageshack.us/img805/558/img0003ah.jpg And if you notice anything wrong with my english please let me know :$

hey guys what's up? well.. first of all thanks for this oppurtunity, and GJ nixon and everyone from HLTV.org. and here goes my story: I started playind CS a few years ago, and for 2 or more years I had a razer krait, and I realy love it, but, a few months ago it brokes and never worked again. I can't buy any other mouse at the moment cause some weeks before the mouse brokes I had buy my mousepad after a long time saving money. The only mouse that left in home is a really small one and I can't play with that, and maybe in the next months I will play an regional qualifier for WCG in my country, so I really need that SS Xai. here goes the pic with my mini mouse :( img96.imageshack.us/i/lgim0128d.jpg/

This mouse has ruined some great moment...such as I'm about to ace..Im on the 5th guy right...my mouse decides that it's a beautiful day today and it spazzes and looks at the sky, and I die :( I have a great mousepad but my mouse is just trash...

2010-07-28 12:05

Since I remember I have a generic mouse of a unknown brand, that cost like 10 pesos, the equivalent to 2 euros or so. A big inconvenient about this mouse is that is too small, and my hand is too big, so I never feel comfortable with it. When I finally get enough money to buy a new and big one I bought a generic A-Tech mouse. But it didn't last more than two weeks. Accidentally I broke the wire, and I was there again, with my tiny mouse but now with a bigger problem, the scroll was broken from the constant use. So I hope I could win this mouse :3 Here is the photo of my two mouses and my keyboard img815.imageshack.us/img815/9531/imagen024c.jpg

Hello guys. So I have that Logitech M-BT58 mouse, probably the worst one ever. I don't know when I got it, but it's pretty old and won't cost more than 5€. If you find one in the wild, you better run home and call the police or you pick it up, take it home and use it as an office mouse. I tried gaming with it, and it's horrible. Every time you make a fast move (what might be happen with an ingame-sens of 1.8), the mouse pointer goes in the up left or the down left corner. So, ingame, you look to the sky or to the ground and spin to the right permanently. This is REALLY annoying on bhop servers, or if you wanna check the corners on inferno, because you have to move the mouse slowly around, to look forward again. In an 1on1 match I could get knifed very easily. That was the biggest problem, but there are much, much more. Sometimes my mouse pointer lags around, but I don't know why, since it has no batteries and the laser light doesn't flicker. Another problem is the mouse wheel: Compared to other mouses you can get a hearing loss, if you spin it around. It would be really awesome if I could have that mouse and fast moves are no problems anymore. I'll post an image in the afternoon.

2010-07-28 12:12

As said above, that spinning problem is extremely annoying. Today I was playing some online gather and I really went overboard for 13 times, because in 24 rounds (MR15) my crappy mouse made me 13x look to the ground or the sky and turnin around... this must have looked like some latine dance... That's it, so here are the images: picfront.de/d/7KqL picfront.de/d/7KqM picfront.de/d/7KqO

Instead of that, I must feed HIM with alkaline batteries, but you should know that HE is always hungry. The brand of the batteries isn't matter. For example, if I gave him chinese, chargable batteries HE will smash it for two or three hours. The same thing with Duracell, maybe an hour longer working... WHAT CAN I DO?! ANSWER IS: HELP, I NEED NEW MOUSE, HELP, NOT JUST ANY MOUSE, HELP, YOU KNOW I NEED SteelSeries Xai MOUSE! img691.imageshack.us/img691/9351/slika0268.jpg

Hi HLTV.org and fans . Well the reason why i want a steelseries XAI is the following : I have the same mouse for about 2 years , a wireless mouse , and when i go to lan events i always need to ask for someone to borrow me a mouse cause mine sucks really bad, and i mean always asking for someone's mice is annoying . I can´t afford a new mouse so i'm hoping hltv give an early christmas present . So this is my story and keep up the good work ;) .

Hi, guys. My name is Sergey, I'm 14 years old and I live in Russia in city Mezhdurechensk. I really want to become a professional player in counter - strike. I would very much like to help the Russian Counter - Strike community. But I have no money for new devices on the play on the fact that there is. A mouse I just created for games ... = ((A4tech Glaser x6-10D;) And if I get this mouse Xai, I will work hard coaching to achieve its goal and will try to win tournaments. HLTV.org please give me this prize! img695.imageshack.us/img695/6167/dsc0151..

I'm playing Counter-Strike for 2 years, I began to take part in diffrent tournaments of my country with my CS team 1 year ago. I always took with me my talisman-puppy called Elizabeth. She didn't bring us some success but we believed in her. Till our plays she sits on my knees and i carry it with me because it is so little and cute. My mouse is Razer Salmosa and my mousepad is SteelSeries 5L. It is shame on me to play with such devices, and i want to change it. When SS Xai appeared, I have understood that this mouse is the best choice for me. Combination of ergonomics and modern technologics makes it ideal mouse for computer gaming. This skates make Xai steadfast in nervous and responsible games. But I can't buy it because i don't have much money and i haven't got any time for a job. And today i saw an action sponsored by hltv.org. I'm visiting this portal everyday to watch interesting matches on stream or to watcg demo's. I decided to take part in this action. Photoes of talisman and my device can apply. img.pixs.ru/storage/0/5/4/P1160628JP_109..

Hi. I really want to win Steelseries Xai mouse becouse: I win my old mouse in school contest 2 years ago. When I am playing on it I feel how my hand sweat! My mouse is the most uncomfortable and nasty in touch mouse in the world! In the past it scrubed but I bought Steelseries Qck mini mousepad and it rescue my mouse. Steelseries Xai is the best mouse ever for me. It has nice design, white scroll which I love, comfortable shape, sufficient number of buttons, magical surface which will NOT slip out or make my hand sweating... There are reasons why i should get Steelseries Xai mouse from you. Here is photo presents my mouse with my belief of love to HLTV.ORG :) img202.imageshack.us/img202/1354/p7290042.jpg

No, my mouse isn't old and I'm not poor, my father didn't beat me and my mom isn't alcoholic. I have deathadder and I am happy with that but if you choose me as a winner I would sell deathadder and play with XAI because steelseries>razer (end of commercial). For earned money I would make badass party where I would meet my future wife and I would have with her 4 children and a beautiful house in Switzerland and I would die in a gorgeous garden as a fullfilled 88 yo grandpa with planty of grandchildren with 10 milion $ on his bank account which would provide my family peacfully life. BUT If you wont pick me ass a winner I won't make a party I won't meet my wife I won't have kids I will die in an agony at the age of 34 because of drugs overuse with many broken dreams about family, beloved wife and a beautiful house on a hill... yfrog.com/5dp7300001j

Hello everyone. My gear is same for ages.. It is about 3-4 products: 1. surfaces: a) FUNC INDUSTRIES b) SteelSeries S&S 2. mouse: Microsoft Intelli Optical 1.1(always) * I use random keyboards and I like Sennheiser headsets. Unfortunately my country; Bosnia and Herzegovina doesn't have almost any CS qualifications (Eswc ones at 3~ years) I stopped to waste real cash for CS... Still I like to play some mixes with my friends and my MS Intelli is old more or less 3~ years so I would like to replace it with Xai mouse. Why Xai? It is simple.. I cant have new Intelli for several reasons and Xai looks the same. Also almost all professional players are using SteelSeries mice so do I want. img441.imageshack.us/f/dscn3424a.jpg/ img525.imageshack.us/i/dscn3426.jpg/

Yeah, Welcome to my show It’s a short story about My a4tech slow Before a bunt, I take out my bad memories After five years of bad game I get worries Whole my previous was rather chaotic Steam invitations denied as a reason of being idiotic I couldn’t bind into it any macro My aim was awful, may call it zero I started praying to God, give me the new one for own Played more defensive, waiting with AWP on TT spawn I bought a mousepad with hope for the better Definitely it didn’t put off this fetter In that spot I could be only an observer Wait a minute, Why am I alone on the server?

Hey i would like to share my small story too.. i am not as creative as most of people that are posting up there.. but i sure deserve a small chance as we all are .. I'm posting here for this great opportunity to get a new awesome mouse called SteelSeries Xai which we all heard and some of us tried and some example (ME) would really want 1 some day.. Well i joined this Event aka Give Away why? Well because i REALLY need it.. if i didn't why would i waste my time by posting and decrease other persons chances of winning who really needs it .. Ough my mouse is the Logitech mx510 i have it for 5 years i can't say it doesn't do it's job but still the left click button is not as clickable as it used to (people who use 1 mouse for long time will know what i mean) Ye and here is my screen .. I actually posted 2 pictures the Upper side and the Under side.. you can clearly see that i stick with supergloo fake "Pads" ;p but it did it work. But now my mousepad is all scratched but anyhow can tell this story at the "mousepad" giveaway .. =D P.S *Please don't make fun of my mouse* Upper Side View. img823.imageshack.us/i/26400990.jpg/ Under Side View. img168.imageshack.us/i/77273076.jpg/ Well good luck all and i hope the one who win it will really deserve it.

Okay.. First of all I want to say that this may be a long story.. The story begins at september 16th 2000, which is my birthday. I was 8 back then and was livin' in a pretty small town called Norrsundet. I got my first computer with Quake(from 1999) and that's when I got my intrest in FPS games. I played that game in the morning before school and went home to play direclty after school. Some of my friends played CS instead of Quake but I never understood how it worked, so I just continued with Quake. I don't think I ever was good, really but I had so much of fun. In early 2001 my computer crashed and since our family was pretty "poor" and didn't want to buy "crap", as they said it - I didn't get a new computer. So, everyday for the upcoming years I started to practice football, untill I was in an car accident and broke my right leg in 2 pieces. After my leg had healed the doctor said I was not going to be able to play football anymore, which I can't even do today. In 2004 I also moved away from Norrsundet to a town called Gävle, which is 4 swedish miles south of Norrsundet. I left Norrsundet becouse my father started to drink much and .. well, it ended with he hitted her with his fist a couple of times untill I couldnt take it more and beated him up. After that we moved to Gävle to my uncle. My sister felt sorry for me cuz of the car accident and everything what happend so she bought me a new computer and new stuff to the computer, as new mouse/keyboard. She also got me Counter-Strike, which I was happy for since all my friends had moving on from Quake to CS. Back then I used a Microsoft 1.1 which I loved, and a random keyboard which I don't remember the name of. So, at October 2004 I played CS for the first time in my Life and .. yeah, I can't really explain the feeling I had but it was something special with it. I just got stuck with the game. I played CS with the same mouse for 1 year untill it broke down and I thought I never would find a good mouse like that again. But anyhow.. I took the bus downtown and wen't to a computer store and I found, "the one", Microsoft 3.0. I jumped on the next bus to get home to try my new mouse and as soon as I came home and plugged it in I knew that this mouse is the one for me. I had some rough years back then since I started a new school and had trouble getting friends so my computer was the only thing I had. I've been playing CS with MS3.0 now for 6 years. I've bought 2 of them. I recently bought a QPAD CT Large with a new MS3.0 in it so, this mouse is pretty new but I think it's time for an update. I'd love to win this contest cuz I don't really have much money and every month I have to pay my bills(i'm livin' at my own place) so I can't buy a new mouse. And for those who wonders, my sister moved away to a another family when I was like 6 years old, cuz she had ADHD and my mother couldnt take it, or something like that. img693.imageshack.us/img693/5927/20100730033.jpg

Lying atop my auburn desk, sits a wretched device made to scorn and ridicule. A faded word, “Ace”…no “Acer”…oh wait it’s so faded you can’t even see it. Acer used to adorn its mantle, complimenting the unidentifiable fuzz found below. Grey and black, it sits atop a wet foam pad drenching with sweat. It’s worthless, to others. To me, it’s filled with shrouds of memories found in not just any mouse, it’s my mouse. My generic Acer mouse came into my life about 5 years ago when I received an Acer computer as a Christmas present. It was absolutely nothing I expected. The monitor had a slow response rate. It was nothing like a CRT… “unusable”, I scorned. The GPU barely garnered 100 fps on CS 1.6 and worst of all, the OS was Windows Vista. Disappointed and ungrateful, I belittled and cursed my parents on vent. That all changed when my mouse suddenly swerved towards the sky. I was seeing a blur of CS 1.6 sky as my teammates frantically yelled “CAT CAT CAT”…ohh wait I was on “CAT.” PEW PEW PEW I was now cursing and ridiculing the mouse. What a childhood, I had. However, I quickly grew accustomed to the random mouse tracking errs, not out of love for the device but to get better as I had no other options since my parents had utter disdain for gaming much less competitive gaming. Long story short? ” Suck it up”, they said. From almost qualifying at WSVG to almost qualifying at CPL and losing CAL-O, the mouse followed me, playing through the lo3s and guiding me through the finish line. To say there was no substitute for this mouse is a lie but to say I would have gotten here without the mouse is also a lie. The experience and skill I come away with this mouse is invaluable. Today, this mouse flickers a dying red led light. To put it simply, it’s dying. Your lovely donation of a Xai would put this old senile beast away for good and maybe just maybe I’ll be good enough to appear as a headline on HLTV.org with this mouse. Thank you. i29.tinypic.com/1qqq05.jpg

My Story: The Time with my intelli 1.1 is over(:[) because shes making doubleclicks sometimes. THATS sucks, if you playin CS because and u want to make slow Singleshots but it does tow Bullets very fast so you doing a Salve and the Recoil is going outer Controll. + The Mouse is a littlebit Open on the leftside that makes the Handling a bit shi**y. So I bought yesterday a Razer Deathadder with new Laser.(But i wanted to buy a Kinzu or again 1.1 but the Shoppingcenter only got the DA.) I must say i played 2 Years with Deathadder and now its a really crazy. I got no 100% to Controll the Mouse, the Mouse is alot heavyer than the 1.1, so the feeling is diffrent to Intelli. The Klicks with the Deathadder are not that easy with the 1.1, so im very f***ed up, i was really happy to buy a New Mouse and than .. but im happy to have the Experience. I will buy a new 1.1 in 1-2 Weeks i think, the Deathadder isnt good for me. img210.imageshack.us/img210/7986/pict004.. gl guys

hi, my mouse is a cheap mouse of 5 dollars optical basic "Genius". I have never had gaming gear like mouse, mousepad or headphones. i don't know how its to use a mouse with more than 3 buttons (sad but true). im gaming like 10 (never less) hours/day every day of every week [DotA, CS, Unreal Tournament, BF2, Lineage, GUNZ] i think im a hardcore gamer (im not saying PRO) but my mouse dont meet the requieriments i want, after 2 or 3 month of use it starts to work bad (scroll start to make noise, mouse1 button dont work properly and sometimes the cursor teleport to the left top corner /i dont know why) and this make very difficult to play at my 100%. i have friends that use the same mouse but dont have these troubles (they dont only surf the internet). so i buy another $5 mouse and enojoy it another 3 months. This happen since 5 years ago and i hope to get a professional level. So i really want to have this SteelSeries Xai. Im relatively new on hltv.org, but i try on every DreamTeam to get some prize because i know i can't buy gaming gear! dont know why a lot of people aply to this contest if they can buy it. hope i win there are some pics showing my loveee to hltv.org for giving me this oporunity, a.imagehost.org/0125/mmmm1.jpg j.imagehost.org/0640/mmmm2.jpg i.imagehost.org/0171/mmmm3.jpg PD: Sorry for my bad english i speak spanish, gl all.

Hello, my favorite mouse is legendary MITSUMI. It served me a lot years (as for counter-strike, I started playing since 1.0). We were together untill... yfrog.com/18p300710204902j img44.imageshack.us/img44/2092/p300710204902.jpg this cruel merciless monster captured my poor mouse. The creature wouldn't listen to my prayers and just roars at me. I tried to persuede him to take the Xpoint mouse (costs 2 dollars), but he didn't take it, so I have to use it. But there'se still a chance for me to get MITSUMI back - Steelseries Xai looks very cool, so I think the monster would trade MITSUMI for it and I could use it again! So please HLTV.org, pimp my hardware! P.S. And here's a picture of a sexy asian girl, if that would help... yfrog.com/f/mj8iuj/

Well, well... I think most people here love to spend their money on equipment! And every equipment has their own history... it's funny! I mean, every single person who loves counter strike always needs the best equipment, and really enjoy to use them! I remember when I bought my first equipment. A big investment. After some months playing CS, I decided to buy a new mouse and of course a new mouse pad. A Microsoft IntelliMouse 1.1 and a SteelSeries Qck+! I was so excited in the first month... It's incredible to see the difference between playing with a normal mouse and playing with a GAMING mouse and a SteelSeries mousepad! hahaha. Obviously the technology makes the difference, but the psychology is also very, very different! I mean, it isn't impossible to have a great performance playing with a normal mouse, but playing with a gaming mouse is much more cooler! Probably this mouse was one of my best investments! He used to be with me for two years, playing boot camps, playing at home or even being forgotten in the bus! But like everything in our life, nothing stays with us forever! My mouse has broken, and since them, I didn't bought another one! I'm searching for a new option, and like everyone here, I think that a SS Xai would be the best choice! Finally, I would like to congratulate hltv.org! I cannot imagine CS without this website! I'm proud to access every day the best community with the best guys and the best staff. Our favorite game cannot live without this site. HLTV.org is fundamental for everyone who wants to keep up with professional Couter Strike! And like this SS Xai, for everyone who dreams to be one of these players... img295.imageshack.us/img295/3119/p1030275.jpg img291.imageshack.us/img291/2784/p1030277bv.jpg Thanks for the opportunity guys, ;)

Hello. I need a mouse! Since my old mouse is too weak, I can not continue to play and develop my skills with it. I know that HLTV.org understands that I should get it. Of course, a game without HLTV.org is not conceivable. Only with HLTV, you can record your matches and watch them later and analyzed. At the end my old but faithful mouse! passiongaming.pl/hltv.jpg Greetings from Poland. Dawid "nako"

My mouse 5 years. Following were: defender, a4tech and razer diamondback3g. At last I played almost a year, but recently moved to my old mouse. It me very much, but its just a bad sensor, it can break at any time. I recently wanted to buy a ms 1.1a, yesterday went to the shop, but she was not there. I think it was the last mouse in the city. For transfer thanks to google.com. I heard a lot about the SteelSeries Xai, it will help get me to a new level of fire s39.radikal.ru/i083/1007/6c/4e1cd55ba1ad..

Hi ! My Intellimouse Explorer 1.1a is very old. I bought it in 2003, when I was buying a new computer. I think it's a very good mouse, but mine wants to go to a retirement. At first her original colour (white) became a yellow colour. It's a fault of sun and perspiration of my hand. The second reason is that, her shell is not in a good condition. I've cannibalised it a lot of times and some of parts are broken, so it is crackling all the time. At the end I saw that, when I turn the computer on sometimes it doesn't work properly (it looks like mouse is off, but computer is on). It's not only fault of age of this mouse. I fess up that sometimes my nerves penalised my mouse, but I watch out for all my hardware (I clean it very often), last year I saw that skatez were atritted, so I bought a new one. I think SteelSeries Xai will be a good succesor of my Intelli. Good Luck to all opponents and greetings to all HLTV.org team ! P.S. Sorry for my English, it's not perfect but I hope You will understand me :) My mouse: img40.imageshack.us/f/zdjcie0166q.jpg/

My mouse is a generic ball mouse that has served me well over the past 3 years. I arrived here with just the tower unit of my PC and decided to buy a mouse, keyboard and monitor so that I can use my PC. I found this along with a keyboard and a CRT monitor on the side of the road with a firm belief that if it didn't work-hell I can always throw it away. I plugged it into my PC and to my surprise it still works. I held onto this until I bought a generic wireless keyboard and mouse. I immediately regretted this as gaming on my PC turned into a nightmare-a very uncomfortable mouse along with a delayed and unreliable connection almost made me quit PC gaming. I quickly pulled my old wired keyboard and mouse and voila I am immersed back in the game. This made me realise that good quality peripherals can improve your game when utilised properly. img815.imageshack.us/img815/57/dsc00266q..

I need the Steelseries Xai because my old mouse is not what it is supposed to be.I never saw a mouse with a snake name before, yes we are talking about the Razer Abyssus.Mouses and snakes just don't fit with eachother.The cable is too long, it always gets stuck between my other cables which makes it impossible togive slingshots and improve my game (it bothers my way to the pro-gaming scene!!!). Another negative aspect is the bottom of the mouse, i can't use my mousepad because it's very hardto move and turn the mouse when it is on a mousepad and not using a mousepad damages the bottomof your mouse. HLTV.org help me improving my skill and save my money.(because i have to buy a new one when the bottom is damaged) thanks sorry for the bad quality picture, my camera ***** aswell...

well, about 2 years ago my parents got me a new pc so i could throw out the old one. And I thought : "If I have a brand new pc, i want a great and expensive mouse", so I told my mom to buy me a new one. Well she bought me the SideWinder X5 Microsoft and i actually found it cute. But, in a really short period of time, the mouse started giving to many troubles, so I decided to walk him to the doctor. yfrog.com/1631072010009j When we got there, both sat down and waited patiently. I went to the wc to clear my waters and the mouse stayed there alone. And then, as I was going back to my seat, I watch this girl sitting down in the top of my mouse! what a shock! my mouse disappeared inside that girl's ass! I was very sad and the girl asked what she could do to compensate my loss. I remembered of the HUGE hltv.org contest, and I had an ideia to her to help me : yfrog.com/ncnecas035j Well she was really embaraced when she took the foto, but she was also ashamed and very unhappy because she had killed my beloved mouse. It was really hard to take the picture, so please make sure that it will not be in vain

Hi there. My mouse is an Genious Ball mouse. I bought him 8/9 years ago. I call him "cutxi". He need retirement, sometimes he stop when i'm aimming, and i cry because i take an headshot because of him. He are always trying to apologize giving some heads, but he continues to stop and i continue taking headshots, i'm tired and he's tired. I already admited that he need retirement. I think that too. In the other day he writes in Paint that he loves HLTV.org more than loves me. And i asked him who click's on him nicely, and he said, HLTV.org can give me the retirement you can't, so i love HLTV.org. We need HLTV.org so then he can go to Havai :S HLTV.org would you merry me? ^^ img839.imageshack.us/img839/4056/dscf316.. img404.imageshack.us/img404/9554/hltv.jp..

Hello there, i visit often your website and i saw photos from world-wide gamers in the competitions that you coveraged. I always wondered how those mice make you shoot. Now i have no-brand little mouse and when i'm in cs the crosshair is going to the sky, i think the optic senzor is not very good. Often i missed the enemy cuz my mouse "jumps" but one time i had luck on de_nuke when i went door, the ct was above me (i didnt know) and exactly when he started to shoot at me my mouse jumped and i headshoted him with deagle. That was AWESOME! I know i'm not the best player on the world but i think that with a good mouse that doesnt fails i could play more better. My mousepad is a gigabyte "old surface" *that i won* for old mice with ball it is not the best but is good. Thank you for reading my story! a.imageshack.us/img576/6688/image1094eqw..
