Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Microsoft Habu Laser Gaming Mouse (Black)

Customer Review: Solid mouse, but not 'quite' there
Summary: 3 Stars

I bought the Microsoft Habu mouse to replace a malfunctioning Logitech G5 which decided to spontaneously turn itself off at random moments. Ergonomically, it's a solid, comfortable mouse to rest your hand on and particularly visually striking with a neon-blue light pipe running around the edge and also the wheel (this can be disabled if needed). The mouse comes with an alternate set of side buttons, but after playing around with both I found it more of a gimmick then honestly finding an real need to change them out from the original. The mouse sensor appears to be on-par with Logitech's, though it's located low on the mouse body and tends to cause lower sensitivity with certain wrist movements.

As with the G5, it has two buttons located below the wheel to adjust sensitivity on the fly. Unfortunately, it's missing the indicator LEDs of the G5, so switching is rather hit-and-miss (it certainly took me more then one tap on the button to change between settings) until you see a noticeable change in cursor performance on-screen.

It's also rather light. Without the additional weight to counterbalance, it's harder to fine tune control for twitch heavy applications, particularly FPS's. Rather then adjusting the mouse quickly, I found myself fiddling with programs mouse sensitivity options instead.

Having used both, I'd recommend the G5 over the Habu.

Description of Microsoft Habu Laser Gaming Mouse (Black)

Microsoft Hardware has joined forces with gaming innovator Razer to bring you the ultimate high-performance wired mouse. Combining the best of both worlds, Habu unites legendary Microsoft comfort with the latest in Razer Precision. PC gaming will never be the same.
What happens when Microsoft Hardware joins forces with gaming peripherals innovator Razer? They give birth to an incredible advancement in gaming control: The Microsoft Habu Laser Gaming Mouse. This mouse is jam-packed with features that will give gamers a performance edge.



Habu blends high performance with a snappy design.
View it from all angles.
Every hand is different, as is every gamers' button preference. The Habu is built for just about anyone with interchangeable side button panels that provide gamers with two options for different hand sizes or comfort preferences. The mouse delivers super-fast response time with a huge 2,000 DPI laser engine that is powered by Razer Precision, and a 16-bit data path with enhanced bandwidth to support high resolution tracking performance. With the Habu, your control will be snappier and more precise, so you'll have a leg-up on the competition when playing online first-person shooters and other fast-paced games. This mouse is also designed with on-the-fly DPI that lets players adjust DPI for control sensitivity. Set the mouse from 400, 800, 1600, to 2000 DPI with toggle buttons and take your customization to another level.

Always-On mode was pioneered by Razer, and this advanced technology is built into the Habu. This mode gives gamers virtually no latency. And with high-speed motion detection, this mouse lets gamers get their speed-on with movement of up to 45 inches per second and 20G acceleration. The Habu features seven programmable buttons with Hyperesponse that allows gamers to program their button functions and caters to their favorite button layout from game-to-game.

A mouse this advanced wouldn't be complete without a snappy design. The custom-looking Habu features GlowPipe side rails and large, ultra-slick Teflon buttons that provide smooth and quiet gliding. The mouse also features an ergonomic design that is built for right-handed comfort with a slip-resistant grip, and rubber-coated buttons for improved comfort during those long hours of arduous gaming. Lastly, the mouse features a thin, flexible wire that provides gamers with the speed of a wired mouse, but the feel of a wireless device.
