Oh man, went to the store and ended up dropping way too much on a mouse. Well worth it, but $80 was not my intention that day.
I recently got a new MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard and I needed a good notebook mouse. I had a 5 year old bluetooth Kensington mouse, but it was not responding very smoothly. It would kill my batteries and didn’t work well enough. So I almost bought a Logitech mouse but waked by this thing.
I didn’t even realize Razer made a notebook mouse. It’s bluetooth, and even though originally wanted to avoid bluetooth (due to battery life and having had bad luck with another bluetooth mouse) but this one had an interesting feature. I could optionally use it as a corded mouse.
Sweet right? I love the Razer brand but their old Pro|Click mouse for the mac just is not well supported anymore. Annoying, but whatever. I didn’t want to drag a desktop mouse with a long cord around with my laptop anyway.
So far it’s going good. I love having back the programmable buttons. One trick I found was in using Macros to assign keyboard buttons, I could avoid the conflict with the OS when in games. Expose would override any in-game buttons, and being so customizable, I no longer need to wait for Valve or Apple to fix the problem.
Oh, and even though it’s nowhere on the outside of the box, it does work as a corded mouse with no batteries. I’ve yet to see how long the mouse works in wireless mode though since I just purchased it.
