5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice March 29, 2011

By Crazy Cat

Amazon Verified Purchase

I'm a female gamer with tiny t-rex hands & it fits perfectly with my claw/fingertip grip. It's very precise & fast at 1800dpi. I'm starting to tell a difference in my Starcraft 2 play. I also got the Razer Golithus speed pad to go with it, so that makes it even smoother to move around. I like the feel of the mat finish on the top. Now I don't worry about flinging my mouse when I'm playing. :)

It's also super light weight. Like crazy light. I was amazed how much lighter is is even compared to a stock Dell mouse.

If you can't decide on which Razer mouse to get, go to their website & click on the ergonomic guide. They'll show you what types of grips people use & which mouse is suited best for each one. They'll also recommend what type of pad to get for the different mice too.

4.0 out of 5 stars First Gaming Mouse September 18, 2010

By William R. Meyer

Amazon Verified Purchase

This is the first gaming mouse I've obtained - therefore I can only compare it to "regular" mice.

First impressions are very good, the packaging is nice and fairly durable. Opening it up we find the mouse, a couple stickers, a quick start guide, certificate of authenticity, and a master guide. Nothing really complicated but it does give you a nice feeling after spending that extra premium on a mouse.

Using the mouse is painless and easy to set up using the mechanical switches on the base of the mouse. No software needed. The pointing is fast and accurate on a regular mouse pad. I found the greatest amount of customization when using the Windows mouse settings to adjust pointer speed. The downloadable software is really just the same settings through a razer interface.

The mouse takes a little while to get used to after using Logitech wireless mice, but it's definitely more comfortable and accurate. I ended up using the 1800 dpi settings with pointer speed adjusted through Windows.

Recommended for its features and relative value compared to other premium mice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great RTS mouse August 23, 2010

By Alexandros Z. Brod

Amazon Verified Purchase

This is a great mouse for RTS and overall a near perfect item. I rarely give 5 stars but this is an extremely high quality item. I gave it a 4/5 on comfort because I bought it to use fingertip grip which I don't think is a very comfortable way to use a mouse. However, this mouse makes fingertip grip more comfortable than on others I've tried. I've tried Logitech mx500, g500, LMO, salmosa mini and could not fingertip grip them at all comfortably while this mouse makes it pretty comfortable. The mouse has prediction / mouse smoothing / angle snapping whatever you call it turned off which is great. I have had no acceleration problems with it although I don't use the large mousepad palm style that I used to with FPS games so I probably wouldn't notice them if they were there. As for the complaints that it doesn't work with certain mousepads I think the incident rates of that are extremely low. I use a goliathus control and have had 0 problems. It's extremely lightweight, only beaten by a salmosa mini or a LMO with the weight removed. You can definitely claw grip this mouse or even palm it though your entire palm will likely not contact the mouse which may not be a bad thing. I often claw or palm it without realizing it during casual browsing so it is a comfortable way to hold the mouse. The mouse does not need any drivers which is great. Just flip it to 1,000hz and whatever DPI you want and you're good to go. I like the mouse wheel quite a bit. It is very firm and is lower on the mouse than normal. I feel a lot more comfortable using it as a mouse3 button than on any other mouse I've tried. The texture is very good. I was concerned it would be too slippery but I have not found my fingers sliding out of position during play and also it allows for a certain rotation of the fingers which is needed for fingertip grip as you pull the mouse towards and away from you. The sides of the mouse are shaped like this < > but not nearly that extreme of an angle obviously. This allows for a good grip on the lower half of the mouse so you don't have to squeeze it so hard to pull it up off the mousepad to reposition. The top angle gives you a good resting place for your ring finger. That is definitely the most important ergonomic aspect of the mouse for me. With all the other mice I've tried there is often no clear place to put your ring finger, especially with fingertip grip. The liftoff distance is a little bit high compared to my g500 but still lower than most other mice I've tried. The only other thing I can think of to improve on is the angle and height that the mouse cord comes out of the mouse. It is just like other mice but I think that the cord should come out at a bit of an up angle so it doesn't catch on the mousepad as easily, especially when using a mouse bungee. Other than that it is really a great mouse. This mouse is only very slightly behind my mx510 overall and by far the best for RTS games.
