Well first things first, the person who came up with that name ought to be shot, since i cant type it without copy pasting it.
And before you start a holywar about the philips laser, id like to post my thoughts on the mouse and then get to the buts :)
Anyways, i got this mouse and well here are my thoughts
What's it like? Well ergonomically its actually very good. I'll try to explain why:
Imagine combining the Explorer 3.0 right side, the MX518 left side and the G3/Krait nimbleness. Well you'd get this. Basically this is how it pans out, the right side reminds me alot of the 3.0, the support for the ring and pinky is great.
The left side - looks alot like the mx518 or G500. The back of the mouse also slides into the palm, like the G500. Now the width where you hold it with your thumb and ring and pinkie is actually a wee bit narrower than the g3. So when you move it around with your fingers, the thing feels very much like a ambidextrous mouse in front. Small and nimble (unlike the wide 3.0 and 518), while the back offers the support of ergonomic righty only mice.
Buttons are placed equally well, without annoying dpi buttons or side buttons getting in the way. The main buttons are easy to press and very responsive.
The whole mouse is rubber coated, so no glossy plastic that razer likes to do, that becomes impossible to hold when theres just a drop of sweat.
Software is actually pretty good and doesn't eek of OEMness. And lets you make a bunch of things using "if then" commands etc..
And that twin eye thing actually has a really low LOD. Which is good i guess,
BUT..
The software (drivers) weigh in at 200megs. Out of those 200 megs, 111 are taken by a video file, that isn't even used in the drivers :/
The scroll wheel feels ridiculously difficult to press. And the notches are loose aswell.
After 4 hrs of use, the right mouse button squeaks time to time.
And Philips. The thing jitters like c**k... But it tracks my goliathus actually pretty damn well.
As for the lights and OLED display - well its nice to look at, and the display is certainly better than razers flashing morse code, but its not really needed..
Conclusion?
Its a damn comfortable mouse. At least for me. The problems? Most annoying is the squeaks, but that should be solved by WD40 (Hi Razer). The jittering? Ingame doesnt bother me, since my sens is too low for me to notice that.
Well so far im a satisfied customers. Hopefully after 2 weeks my opinion stays the same :)
Your thoughts ?
