Razer quality control

Zillio · 13 Jan 2010 at 12:58

I got a Razer Mamba from overclockers last year. It is in general an okay mouse but I would say no better than my old G7 Logitech which was a lot cheaper. However I have been very disapointed with the build quality. The first razer I got had the two front feet falling off. Razer told me they could not provide new feet so I had to RMA the whole mouse! The replacement mouse has a rubber pad on the left hand side that was not fitted properly and sticks out on one corrner catching your thumb when you are using ther mouse, which is very annoying. Also my second mouse has developed an annoying high pitched squeak from the wheel, which again looks like it will need another RMA to sort out. Maybe I had two bad mice back to back but it has put me right off Razer mice. Has anyone else had problems with Razer build quality?

I've been using a Deathadder for about 3 years and nothing has fallen off/stopped working.

I thnk you've just been unlucky.

I have a mamba and it has been absolutly excellent, as you would expect for a mouse costing £100! Sorry to hear about your problems though!

My Razer mouse has been fine, but it does have an air of cheapness about it despite costing me £30+

I think Logitech stuff is better made, or at least feels that way IMO.

I own a razer copperhead, going on 3 years, not a problem at all

It's quite well known among fps communities that Razer mice have a tendency to break after some time. I had a death adder, at first the scroll wheel would scroll by itself, mouse5 stopped working, then mouse4 stopped working followed by left click (mouse1) not working. In my case the deathadder lasted about 2 years.

Shame, as they're nice products otherwise.

My Copperhead is on its way out after about 4 year. The righ button isnt quite as responsive and the left button seems to double click sometimes. Also had a Habu which is falling apart.

i'm going Logitech next time
