Razer has top-notch products, and this seems like a pretty good entry-level mouse. I used the DeathAdder until I got a G5 Blue, and I’m upgrading to a Lachesis.

And by the way, gaming mice have better lasers for higher DPI, higher polling rates, a more comfortable ergonomic feel, and programmable buttons.

Good, but too pricey.

Well, for a gaming mouse, there are three main features that any hardcore gamer requires: (In addition to what Jawad Said above:)
1) Ergonomics: If it does not feel right, u cant play well, simple!

2) DPI: Higher dpi means more sensitivity, and more precision. Getting more movement within a short space is also a benifit.

3) Macro Buttons: Although not mandatory, however, more customizable buttons means game-suitable layouts can be generated to help the gamer do more in less time

BTW, I dont like the size of that mouse from the images… dunno how it wud really feel tho

Razer has long been a choice of gamers, even before the optical mouse rule the land.

I am no expert in gaming peripherals but I think responsiveness(sensitivity), and speed(DPI) are two critical attributes that separates them from ordinary. Although many gaming mice also include programmable macro buttons & other features. BTW this one looks good from the Razor but lets see how it fares with the current champions.

Always wanted to ask this.. what does a ‘gaming mouse’ mean? What qualities should a mouse have?
