Ask Total, he tested him Big grin

Ok, if seriously - didnt test it. But the shape doesnt look very comfy. Imo with such shaped-mice hand will often get tired. Looks like Microsoft 1.1 wich is very not comfortable(from my practice).

Anyways this mouse has a few known advantages:

- Slip-resistant coating
- 1000 report rate

As for the mouse sides, wich is the most important aspect at mice imho.. i dont know what are they made from. Either it is plastic (bad game), either it is rubber (good game). Find that out.. If its rubber,then u can buy it. Price 30-40 $ ? - good.

ps: dont buy razer. Razer is solid advertising, but not more.

Once i bought Lachesis. After 1 week i changed it on DeathAdder. After 2 weeks i put DeathAdder on the shelf. ~100 $ gone. Good game.

Id say its a user problem since i know shitloads of happy DA users, next time try to ask in store to try the mouse before buying, u might save some money.

I can tell 3 disadvantages of Razer Mice:

- uncomfy (either it has plastic slippy sides, either it has plastic slippy sides+not ergonomic shape)

- the surfaces are tricky..looks like rubber but its not. First coat is some sort of thin rubber? And second coat is plastic. The trick is that if your hand gets often wet, then the 1-st coat with time will become like wet paper.. i mean, u accidentaly scratch ur mouse with ur nail and there u go.. you can see the 2-nd coat a bit Love struck

- THE PRICE. Small shit = BIG MONEY.

ps: Razer aint worth of a dollar, so many bugs, so many disadvantages.. Even the drivers they making are fucked up.. Ingame the mouse buttons rarely working.. And the reason why some ppl still love Razer is because they still didnt find nothing better. Well my advice - search better, u'll find it

What u lookin' at, bra ? I'm back !

I would be carefull with generalizing!

I put Razer-mice over others out of personal experience. I was always satisfied with my copperhead (used 3 years) and now using Diamondback since 1,5 years.

No u cant, because u didnt try them all. Again, dont generalize.

I used mx for 4 years and then switched to razer salmosa. Lets just say i will never put my hand on mx mouse again. So much for comfort and ergonomics, btw salmosa is ambidextrous mouse.
As for slippery plastic its true, but this is not a problem on salmosa mouse, because its so lightweight that u can lift it even with the sweatiest hand.

Are u a woman with long nails? What u described can never / did never happen to me. Clip your fingernails and problem solved.

Salmosa is 20-25 euro in EU, sure it has no side buttons but i dont need them.

I know a few ppl who use deathadder and they never mentioned anything similar... the problem is either that you got a crappy mouse (it can happen) which i would return immediatly and ask for replacement or u just didnt install drivers properly.

Again BS. I found the best mouse on the planet, for me and i will not change unless they replace mouse completely with new high tech or way to use hand instead of mouse, which might happen soon, some cro dude invented something that might change the way we use mouse and kybrd..

deathadder? OK! sensor
deathadder? NO! the rest

actually the best made razer mice so far:
salmosa? OK! for 1 finger on right
salmosa? NO! for 2 fingers on right

from the beginning razer making toys for kids no mousses for serious gamers, and yes I did had like 95% of razer mice’s

much more interesting is the new sidewinder x3 than this new razer

waiting for steel construction to be available in pl stores, judging from the ikari optical that mouse can be really kick ass, hope they solved some annoying problems that ikari optical have

I am addicted to life.

agreed with fala. .. I had many razer stuff, like .. 2 mice, mousepad, headphones, sound card .. and nothing rly impressed me.

And okey, i wont be generalizing no more m8s, i'll just say.. never trust Advertising !!! read forums and reviews made by ppl like u !

Good Luck.

What u lookin' at, bra ? I'm back !
