Hey! For the first time I ordered a badass mouse from Razer and headphones, and a mat. I have to say they have the most badass packaging I've ever seen and it only makes you feel like what you bought was worth while when the packaging is not only cool, but incredibly easy to open.

I bought the Razer Mamba, the cordless/corded mouse that has a charging dock. It's just as fast as a wired mouse, up to 5600 DPI, you can manage your stages of sensitivity in profiles, 4 extra buttons. It feels sleek and ergonomic under your hand, incredibly comfy. The headphones live up to the same pure awesomeness, great sound quality for $90, my microphone is crisp and clear (although I had to put a mic boost on it for skype). They do noise cancellation and my neck doesn't hurt like my logitech ones would. Also measure your desk when you get a matt, this things bigger than most place matts at the dinner table but it does surprisingly make your mouse glide smoother, faster, and all around better. I haven't been thing excited over a mouse and headphones.. since ever!

Very awesome stuff, 5/5 for sure. I'll probably never go back to logitech again (g5 mouse and logitech headset prior).

Woo!

I am a die hard Razer fan.

I've owned damn near all of their mice and keyboards (except the mamba surprisingly enough) Also had the barracuda headset but I'm assuming you got that kick ass megalodon.

The boxes really are part of the purchase, and you're right, you really feel like you're buying a quality product. Sometimes you'll get a little card telling you bought one of the first 250 or something with a certificate of authenticity.

My only regret is I never kept my Tarantula, I sold it and the Arctosa when money was tight and got a cheap Eclipse II to replace it.

I'm currently using the deathadder 3.5 and i love it, it has that perfect fit for right handed gamers.

Also still have many of my mice. Including my Diamondback, Diamondback 3G, Copperhead 3G and Lachesis and the only one to die was the original diamondback.

Glad to see you're enjoying Razer. You made a good purchase!

Own 2 razer mouses and they are the worst mouses I have used ever. Durability wise they can barely take a drop off the desk. And the accuracy degrades I found as well.


I doubt i'll buy another again.

I tried one Razor mouse and found it dissapointing. Wasn't comfortable at all and didnt perform well, it also felt cheap tho what they charge for one isn't. Perhaps I just tried the wrong one.

Glad I ended up going with the Sentinel Advance. Much better.

I'll just upload a gallery on img shack and link it. Much easier! Also found pictures of my CoolerMaster V8. Incase anyone was wondering, these things are beastly and I don't recommend getting one unless you want to take the side off your case or own a fulltower. Even my Fulltower Thermaltake Armor series it makes the top push against the side slightly.

JJ, weren't you on here a few months ago saying how disappointed you were with the sentinel advance? lol

Razer products have great warranty and their software is some of the only software for mice and kb's out there that DOESN'T look cheap. Not to mention custom firmware upgrades, and a patented finish....

Point I was trying to make is that it takes time to grow accustomed to a style of mouse ergonomics and optical technology.

They haven't won countless peripheral awards for nothing! lol

Yeah well any mouse is twitchy if you have it set really high, when i use the 5700 DPI i fly across the screen. However I'd end up barely moving the mouse to do any kind of "target aquisition!" . Then I'd go to work and have to do something on our g5 and it would be annoying how slow it is. I'm already finding myself annoyed if its anything lower than like 3000 DPI.

I wish they'd fix their damn keybinding so that it works like MS or Logitech.

Yeah =| 14 graphic artists and only one mouse.. oh the shame of it all..!! You should see what its like when we have to share bathrooms. It's as bad as the mouse, but twice as personal!
