I got this mouse a couple of weeks ago as a birthday present, and I wanted to like it. I really did. It’s a sexy mouse. And I thought the adjustable side buttons were pretty clean. Unfortunately, this mouse just completely fails on so many levels.
First of all… no installation CD. The package said it should have a CD, but there wasn’t one. The instructions don’t even mention the CD, they say to download the drivers off the website.
Fine. So I installed the newest drivers.
The worst thing about this mouse is that the pointer jumps. Terrible. Trying to do any sort of detailed work on it is time consuming and frustrating. Just trying to click the right spot in a game, to cast a spell is hard enough. But when you try to do work on a by-the-pixel basis, just throw in the hat, it isn’t going to happen. I’ve played with the settings, made it more sensitive, made it less sensitive, use acceleration, don’t use it, use a higher polling rate, use a lower one…. not anything helps. Do you know how frustrating it is to try to click the minimize button on a dialogue box, only to have the mouse jump to the x, to close it? There have been more than a few curse words used about this mouse since I got it.
Also, the design of the mouse is not as splendid as I had hoped. It’s too small to completely rest your hand on… but so huge that you can’t comfortably hold it. It’s too light to just use the palm of your hand to go it around, but heavy enough to make your hand cramp up after a few hours of using it. Strangely enough, it is simultaneously too huge, and too small.
I used to use a Logitech MX310. It was too small for my mannishly large hands, but at least I could click on the pixel I needed to click on with resolution precision.
The Razer logo that at a snail’s pace flashes off and on, on the back of the mouse is cool looking… kind of a breathing effect. But when your hand is on it, you don’t see it, and when your hand isn’t on it, it becomes irritating after a while, and finished up being turned off.
I liked that the light on the mouse was blue, instead of red, like my ancient mouse. It matches the other lights on my computer, and isn’t so bright at night, that it distracts me. But that is a very small consolation for the lack of precision you get with this mouse.
I’m so sad that this mouse performs so poorly… it’s so sexy. It looks like an hideous mouse is in my future, but I will gladly exchange looks for performance…. as most women will agree.
Edit: I was using an optical mousepad, that had a purple and black honeycomb design. Once I bunged using the mousepad, and just place the mouse on the desk, it bunged the crazy jumping around. Which is eerie, because I’ve always had optical mice, and always used that same pad, with absolutely no problems. Anyway… I will probably keep the mouse, and just hope I get used to it.

5600 dpi doesn’t mean anything to a human-you just can’t react that quick. The mouse is a bit smaller than the deathadder, which makes it not as comfortable as deathadder. I reflect for gamers, the feeling of mice counts at first place. Although Deathadder doesn’t has such a high dpi or a laser sensor, it does grant solid and natural controls. The side buttons aren’t simple to find, not like the deathadder’s. I reflect razer is just marketing its harvest nowadays, they don’t make revolutionary improvements on their harvest anymore. they don’t really care about enhancing users’ experience. by and large this is not a terrible mouse, but i’d suggest new buyers save some buck and buy a deathadder or look into some microsoft, steelseries or logitech’s harvest. Not recommended after 2 months use.

I got this mouse as a replacement for my Mac DeathAdder which worked splendid gaming in OSX and in Windows with equal functionality.
Out of the box setup went smoothly and I downloaded the newest (and only) driver from the website. Unfortunately the Mac driver has limited functionality offering settings only for sensitivity, acceleration and lighting. There is no support for profile configuration, macros, custom button/key binding, scrolling alacrity, click alacrity, profiles or any advanced features that the DeathAdder guide had and I would expect to be carried forward on a mouse that costs $80 which claims to support OSX.
I switched over to Windows 7 to try to fully test the mouse out. Again I went online and downloaded the latest (and only) driver for Windows and noticed there was a firmware update available as well. I downloaded and installed both and was impressed by the features and performance of the mouse and software.
I switched back to OSX again but found that the driver would no longer converse with the mouse at all. The mouse is functional but any communication with the driver is completely dead. I’ve tried reinstalling both drivers from the website as well as the firmware but not anything has changed. I can’t even find the original firmware anywhere for download.
Now I have to wait several days for Razer support to friend me back, but I’m not expecting anything more than being told to revert to the original firmware (which they will hopefully give me). Even then, the complete lack of support or attention to Mac gamers to whom they are marketing this mouse is at best disappointing compared to the Mac DeathAdder which I was very pleased with. Equally as frustrating is how Razer happened to neglect mentioning their lack of Mac support for the features advertised on the promotional and and packaging material (I only found a one line mention buried in online support documentation). Its borderline fraud.
UPDATE:
Three days later the total response from Razor has been an email with the original firmware. Still no support of advertised features for Mac. This might end up as a return yet.

Then don’t buy this mouse unless you plot on switching to the Vespula or other “recommended” pads immediately, because it won’t work properly with it. Mine randomly “chugs” and “chokes” with this mousepad, and when I emailed Razer’s support they said the exactmat is not recommended for this mouse. Perhaps my fault, but I bought it right as the Vespula came out and was really unaware of any glaring issues such as these. Anothing irritating attribute of the mouse, is when you pick the thing up and place it back on the exactmat, the sensor will choose to stop functioning for several seconds. It will also do this on ANY surface if you gently run a q-tip past the lens or anything bright from what I can tell.
Yes, it also has the issue where if you lift it up the cursor jitters around, but that doesn’t affect me as I only lift it to clean it, so it’s really unrelated the 3 stars. By and large, I reflect this was a dissipate of time and cash as I’m moving back to my Deathadder 3.5 which unfortunately isn’t as comfortable as this mouse, but at least it functions properly and never cuts out randomly during a game just because it feels like it. Feel free to read the comments section to see the exact snippet from Razer.

this is probably one of the best gaming mouses i have ever used.
i would certainly recommend it to anyone who likes to game. the mouse feels very comfortable in my hand, and the side buttons slide back and forth to adjust to your comfort.
i did notice when on a high DPI that if you lift the mouse up the cursor goes to the bottom right.
