New Razor Mouse

I use the intelliEye on a black everglide. I use sensitivity 6.66 and cl_mouseaccel 5. I have the bar in the middle in windows. I love this fucking thing. The new razor has to be balls out fantastic for me to even think about changing. One thing I didn't like is the shiney suface though. My hands sweat like Mike Tyson at a spelling bee when I play, so I just roughed up the surface with some sandpaper and now I'm good to go.

This is the stupidest fucking thing I have ever seen.

Well, I was a part of the beta testing team and I assure you this isn't an idea they got from us. A bunch of members of Clan X-D, cache from cached.net and myself were in on a design session with the razor folks back in january, and what we asked for is basically what everyone wants. A usefull, playable shape with this technology. I was using the wingman at the time (I've since switched over to the intellimouse with IntelliEye) and some of the guys in my clan use the mousman+. We asked for something along those lines. They met with the clan 9 dudes after us, and got their feedback and then designed this wacky thing. All hope is not lost though, we'll get a beta version if it next month or so, and if it sucks cock, we'll tell them and they'll adjust it. It looks fine from the overhead view (outside of it having horribly gay i-mac colors) but the side view looks like it would be WAY to tall and get in the way of your aiming with your fingers. I could do without the wheel too, but I could live with it if the shape were good.
We'll see.
I'll keep you guys posted.

i want to have sex as far away as possible from that orange abomination.

#17, now *that's* an old school mousepad. i knew i shouldn't have thrown that sparc 5 away.

anyway, it's not as bad as everyone thinks. take a look at the other mouse they had at the booth:

that one looks fairly normal. i guess the hair stylist had the day off when they came up with that one.

also one question: how does the razer accomplish the greater precision thing? is it just a high sampling rate? or is it something else? (something... sinister)

pup (i'm not gay!)

You know, it may not be as bad as it looks, since it appears to be fairly short in length, so maybe it isn't as high as I think it is.

If you just go on the look without perspective, though, that thing looks worse than the MS Explorer for height. The height on the Explorer is the reason I still use Mouseman Wheels. I like a lot of buttons and a wheel, unlike many people here. I couldn't have a mouse without a wheel for just general Windows use, although I rarely use it in game.

Also, if you are going to do colors, please don't go i-Mac on us. Blacks, greys, silvers, maybe even some red or blue trim (without overdoing it like these shots).

The Intellimouse Explorer owns j00 all!

Razer mouse is for diehard Microsoft-haters who don't mind paying $100 for a mouse and giving up 20% of their frags to make their point.

Gracias!

Class, This horse shoe crab is believed to have gone exstinct 400 million years ago.

Am I the only person who can't play using a mouse which doesn't have a proper middle button (rather than a wheel)?

I got hooked on my config which uses mmb for backwards before wheels came in and now there's only a few mice out there which I can use. (Logitech gaming mouse wins, but sometimes I think it's a little bit too small.)

Of course, the wheel is very useful in Windows so I have two mice plugged in to my PC, one for Windows (Logitech MouseMan+) and one for Games.

That's another thing which Microsoft and probably the other guys apart from Logitech really need to improve: support for completely independent configuration of multiple mice -- from buttons to movement speed and acceleration, or lack of. Logitech's drivers simply blow MS away in this respect, although it's probably not important for most people with just one mouse.

PS, I bought an MS Intellieye thing with the Rudolf Glow In The Dark Butt, but while it looks really cool, the resolution on it, at least on any surface I've tried, was so bad that to get from one side of the desktop to the other you have to crank it right to the top speed, but once you do that the mouse cursor moves in steps/jumps of about 5-pixels, which is totally useless for aiming in games and makes anything you try to draw in Photoshop have this snap-to-grid effect. Some people have reported the same, but others have said it works fine for them... YMMV, but IMO it's a POS of a mouse. :-)

I had high hopes after the interviewing of a bunch of players that they'd come up with a good, basic designed mouse with their technology.

Instead, we get a pregnant i-Mac puck.

Sigh.

they said it's supposed to feel and look good!
who the hell cares about the looks, as long as its fast and ergonomic?

what in the holy living fuck is that?

I just hope Razer never designs a keyboard!

The color shceme makes it look like a half-melted cremesicle

I'm using a Razer right now. It took a lot of getting used to, I'll tell you that, but I honestly think that my game has improved because of it. Probably most important for me, though, is that it really kicks ass in Photoshop.

wtf is wrong with razor. they know how to make the thing precise but someone teach them how to make the damn case.

just gimme something that is halfway normal shaped for gods sake!

who the hell can play with that POS? i'd like a razer, but i don't spend like 100$ for something i can't get used to.

In all seriousness, let a person who uses a mouse design it. Not some gay hair stylist. If razer made a mouse that actually felt like a mouse, a lot of people would use it
