I bought this mouse over two years ago, and it's been sitting in a box for all but four months of that time; I have average-sized hands, and the mouse is just too long for them. I can't comfortably hold it and press the front thumb button at the same time. Because the Logitech G600 I bought to use instead died on me, I'm back on Amazon looking for a gaming mouse.
Yes. The Razer Synapse software is in charge of everything. As a result, whichever color or effect you select appears.
A high-quality construction with excellent software and performance. Cheap Chinese products are designed (in general) to maximize profit margins and steal market share by appearing to be good value. Since then, I've been using a Razer DeathAdder 2013 edition. 2013 is a year to remember. The only reason I'm looking for a replacement is that my middle click doesn not work about 30% of the time, a button I personally use all the time. Very solid mouse
It's a mouse designed for people with larger hands, which must be at least 18cm in length.

To use the Razer software, you must first visit their website and register, which includes providing them with identifying information as well as granting them permission to access and share data from your computer. To be honest, I find this disgusting. Why am I being forced to give up my privacy in order to program my mouse? n n.
The mouse is excellent in and of itself. I dislike having to download and install special software, but I can handle it. But seriously, why do I need to sign up for a Razer account just to use my mouse? It's completely absurd. I would not have purchased this mouse if I had known this beforehand. br>br>Creative+ paraphrase: Also, after a while of use, I've noticed that I'm hitting the DPI adjustment buttons more than I should be. When scrolling upward or simply resting your hand on the mouse, they're right behind the scroll wheel and very easy to push with the base of your middle finger. Unexpectedly changing DPI in the middle of the game You'll be thrown off by movement.
You must create an account to use Razor Synapse, the software you'll need to change your mouse settings. The following are some of the reasons why this is not a good idea: br>The other day, for some reason unknown, the Razer id and the synapse software wouldn't accept my previous password, which could only be fixed by resetting the password; as a result, I was banned from logging (20m) into a freshly installed synapse, leaving me without a way to configure my mouse until the lock was lifted and a new password reconfigured. To be honest, the log in system for users who want to use the cloud should be optional, not mandatory, as it is now, because it can prevent you from setting up your own hardware. br>I searched the internet for a solution, but there is none. When they add an "offline" mode, I'll update my review.
Compulsory software is a complete disaster. Three stars go to the mouse. Although the ergonomics are good, I occasionally find myself tapping the thumb buttons or the adjustment buttons under the mouse wheel by accident. After a month or two, the mouse wheel began to squeak. Unless you turn the LEDs down or off, they're annoying. This is possible, but it brings us to the software. To configure the mouse, you must first download and install the Razer apps. You must first create an account on Razer's website and then log in using the app. For some reason (I assume after an update), the app forgets your login and you have to re-enter your credentials. The updates, on the other hand, are the real issue. There are a plethora of software updates available. When a new update is available, the big neon green Razer Central screen jumps out at you every time you log in to your computer, even if you've just woken it up from sleep, to inform you that there are app updates available. "Fine," you reason, "I'll simply turn off automatic updates. " There's even a setting that allows you to do so. So, what is the issue? It. Doesn't. Work. It will continue to bother you whenever they release a new update, which happens every week or two. Worse yet, each update necessitates a restart. What will happen if you don't restart your computer? You'll have to deal with it again and again. Is it possible to turn off the Razer services? The large Razer logo on the mouse will be illuminated in a bright neon green. I've seen discussions on the forums about which firewall ports to disable to prevent Razer's apps from calling home, but that's way more trouble than I'm willing to go to for a mouse. br>br>This is the worst software experience I've had in a long time; the mouse is fine, but the hassle isn't worth it. I'm on the lookout for something more suitable - Neither by Razer nor by any other company.
It was simple, ergonomic, and did the job of a mouse. There's nothing more to say, and nothing less to say. Both, however, developed the same problem in the end. When you walked away- It is recorded as a double-click if you only click once. click. This can happen at any time by simply shifting your pressure while clicking, holding, or dragging something you've selected. br>When I looked through the comments for this listing, I noticed that this was a recurring problem. It is 100% hardware related, due to a 'fix' in firmware released by Razer for the Deathadder issue in 2013. The 'fix' for the firmware was that it fixed the double-clicking issue. Speaking with their support and doing some online Razer forum research, I discovered that this is due to a poorly designed mechanism in the newer mice themselves, which does degrade over time. They confirmed that when this issue occurs on the Deathadder Elite/Chroma, etc. , it is related to hardware. br>Perhaps I didn't win the'mouse lottery' the first time I bought the product, but for it to happen twice? I'm not sure. I'm not going to buy any more Razer products, and I can't recommend this mouse because of the re-use. a common occurrence.

- Because of the size of my hand, the placement of the thumb buttons makes it difficult to reach the first button; it appears to be designed for men with larger hands. br>- The DPI buttons appear to be located in an inconvenient location. have brushed up against each other in the middle of a game.
If you spend $50 on a mouse, you should expect to get a lot of bang for your buck. A MOUSE - After four months of use, it should not fall apart. Garbage. The side is still sticky (which makes it unusable without the detail rubber piece because it's too distracting and sticks to my fingers), but the rubber piece won't stay on.
