One aMazing FeelinG mouse (u see what i did there? :D)

Really impressed with this, i've used most of the microsoft and logitech series, a whole bunch of cheap mice that actually turned out to be amazingly good mice (one from A1 tech with the marbe effect skin like the old MX518 is worth a buy on a budget). But this thing is just beautiful. I dont know if its common to the razer line but everythin about the movement and the buttons is completely spot on. Had a friend who still DETESTS optical mice with a passion have a go and he was spouting similar praise reasonably quickly. I know they prob slightly old news by now but seriously consider one if u need a gaming mouse atm :)

I liked the habu, gealt fantastic in my hand, and was very responsive, but a nightmare to get working, then i switched to the deathadder, and it was better :D Go try it!
 
I have been hearing the DeathAdder might just beat it.
I got the drivers and updates etc all working sweetly tho, may see one day but im very happy sticking atm.
 
I've got the DeathAdder, shame shape but looks nicer and obviously the technology is better, i've paired it with a Razer Mantis Control mousemat and i've put the driver sensitivity to 2 and my cs ingame sensitivity to 1.5, I can't seem to miss the head now I play like the demos the pro's record, really has made me a much better player can't believe it like.

Reason I got it was because my old mouse MX510 feet died (another great mouse), but changing mouse is almost like changing games and makes cs new a fresh again.
 
I don't think i'd like the Boomslang personally don't know about the op, I use to have a diamondback a long time ago and the shape was soo awkward i was accidently touching the side buttons always and always clicking when I didn't want to, also it was tiny. I'd buy a right handed specific mouse. There is a new one coming out from Steel Series goto their site the shape looks very comfy.
 
Habu is very good and so is the very simular and slightly newer DeathAdder (Both work an absolute treat with Icemat 2nd Edition). Not sure about the shape of them two new offerings linked above though...
 
One thing I have noticed is the Deathadder is only 5 button - would have gone with Habu if put em side by side for that alone I think.
The extra button was needed - all in use on the 5 button and want another for blind (wow rogue) :D
 
love me copperhead but am seriously eyeing up the lachesis.

That DOES look MOST impressive. 9 mouse buttons too! \o/

Always time for more buttons :) even leaving the dpi switchers alone gives 7... hmm.... the possibilities... Will be taking a serious look :)

Tis a shame these will take most of a year to get in a shop as I want to see what the buttons feel like. Is the VERY tactile, slightly bouncy but definitely rather precise click common to most of the recent razer mice?
