- Strengths:
- Every button on the mouse is programmable.
Tracks very well.
- Weaknesses:
- Awkward back / forward buttons.
- Summary:
- I ended up reassigning my back / forward buttons to act as dpi sensitivity stages up / down. I then used my #7 & #10 macro buttons as my back / forward buttons.
People complaining about the macro buttons, or thumb grid, being restricted to your 123 / numpad keys need to read instructions first. Every button on the mouse is programmable, you can even assign macros (key sequences with optional delays) to them.
Overall the mouse is great but the default back / forward buttons can't be used for apm.
Handy

- Strengths:
- - Great layout.
- Small, works well for people who crank up the sensitivity and mouse around with fingers only and keep the heel of the hand planted
- you can turn off the LEDs if desired
- Weaknesses:
- Mouse macro software is rather limited when used on its own.
Not for left-handed use
- Summary:
- I bought mine for MMOs but it had other applications - would use at work too.
I kept the keys 1-10 mapped as number keys but remapped the index buttons to space/enter, escape on 11 and backspace on 12. This is great for Civ 5 and it's surprising how many things can be done without touching the keyboard.
For more advanced stuff that you can't do in the mouse software, you can bind a unique keystroke like ctrl-shift-1 to a key in the Razr software, and have AutoHotKey pick that up.
love this mouse

- Strengths:
- Made of good components and is a quality product excepting the main feature you buy this mouse for.
- Weaknesses:
- The side buttons are not actually new buttons and are just a rebind of your number pad. If you use your number pad for anything you probably don't want this mouse. There is also the concern of hitting numlock and changing all your mouse buttons over and having your keybinds effectively turned off which is bad news during intense moments in game.
- Summary:
- Not worth buying because of the problems mentioned.
Works great

- Strengths:
- Easy to Use software.
Lots of programmable buttons
Left & right buttons are nicely shaped
Nice Blue lighting
- Weaknesses:
- Teflon feet design,
For the number of buttons it has its Bloody SMALL even for sized hands so learning how to hold it takes awhile.
Forward & Back buttons in an uncomfortable location.
Matte paint on main body makes your hands get warm and just feels weird a bit.
No configurable weights
- Summary:
- If it was the size of the Death Adder with the same layout with a cooler on the hands finish like other mice on the market and customizable weights I would be a happy camper.
Having to compromise to get the extra buttons really sucks and No I don't just use the buttons in games but in other programs
Good Mouse But Some Hardware Is Faulty

- Strengths:
- Doesn't take long to learn how to use.
- Weaknesses:
- There seems to be an issue where you receive a faulty mouse that will stop being able to move after about a month of use. You can still click but not move the mouse.
Many forums online have other people having the same issue and has something to do with the laser in the mouse dying. The only way to fix it is to get a new mouse (according to responses from Razer).
- Summary:
- The product itself is good but have to be cognisant of receiving bad hardware and faulty laser. If it starts to hang at all, it may continue to deteriorate quickly to the point of no use
And it lights up!

- Strengths:
- Excellent response
Tons of setup and configuration options
Mac and PC fully supported
Keypad/mouse wheel and logo lights can be turned off seperately
- Weaknesses:
- Placement of (default) back/forward buttons is awkward
No side-scrolling (but not an issue for gaming)
- Summary:
- I have been using this mouse for a few months now and there is nothing to complain about. It operates very smoothly and can be precisely configured for your gaming needs. It is also fully Mac compatible!
Razer also has a useful WoW addon for keybinding the mouse keypad, as well as all of your keybindings, and I would recommend it. The Naga software does allow you to set each button as a macro allowing for any configuration you can think of for any game.
Awesome

- Strengths:
- - Great button layout. Everything in reach without straining.
- Compact and comfortable to use.
- Looks great.
- Can turn off LED.
- high DPI and polling rate.
- Weaknesses:
- - no side scroll on the wheel. (Not a big deal IMO since people often complain about accidentally side scrolling instead of middle clicking with other mice
- Summary:
- I had the World of Warcraft mouse and found it really uncomfortable and awkward to use. I returned it and got this instead - much better!
I'm running 6 sessions of Runes of Magic using hotkeynet to handle key broadcasting. The mouse buttons are mapped to hotkeys on each character with programmed routines (via in-game LUA scripting) to execute various strategies much like FFXIII paradigms.
I got it with a Logitech G110 keyboard and it's a great combo. Total of 22 custom keys in easy reach = awesome!
Awesome MMO Mouse

- Strengths:
- Full customization of buttons of the mouse
Extremely comfortable
Easy to use software
Ideal of MMO games such as Wow
All keys light up to give it a good finish
- Weaknesses:
- None I can think of
- Summary:
- Ive had this mouse for over 3 weeks now and its amazing. When you first look at it or put your thumb on the 12 buttons, you may feel over whelmed, but it includes a few helpful stickers to you feel it out.
Youtube this mouse, which is what I did as there are a lot of reviews of this.
Overall, I have not run into any issues with this mouse and its work flawlessly for me.
I would not recommend this mouse for anyone that does not play any MMO games.

- Strengths:
- -Great for gaming, and meant for WoW
-So comfortable! And having the rest for your ring finger makes a huge difference
-Easy to set up and use
- Weaknesses:
- The two optimized buttons (by the left click) are a little difficult to use at first, but you get used to them
- Summary:
- Great gaming mouse! Especially for games like WoW. It looks great and it's really comfortable. It is also not big and bulky like you may expect it to be, it fits great in my hand, and is actually smaller than the Razer Mamba!
