Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Razer Pro Click v1.6--1600 dpi Mouse for Mac/PC
Customer Review: Works as expected with proper software
Summary: 4 Stars
I am a recent Windows convert (to an iMac). I love my iMac but was not crazy about the Apple Mighty Mouse. Unfortunately, there do not seem to be a lot of alternatives. The Razer seemed like a nice choice. A mouse that was highly configurable, worked with the Mac OS and had a nice scroll wheel and that most important right-click button. OSX has right-click menus so to me it seems a right-click button just makes life easier. After receiving the Razer I was initially frustrated after loading the included software drivers. The mouse worked but was not configurable. When that option was clicked, it produced a error because the driver was not written for Intel hardware. Fortunately, there is a new driver on the Razer site--v1.6.7 which did the trick. Now all is good. I like the feel of the mouse and it does have numerous configuration options for those who want precise settings--so I recommend this as a nice alternative to the Mighty Mouse.Customer Review: You need this upgrade if you own a Mac

Clearly the reviews for this product here are mixed. I chalk it up to personal preference and the range of platform and OS variations being run today.
But if you're a Mac user here's the bottom line: there aren't many good mice (mouses?) available for the Mac and while this one is not perfect, it is a HUGE upgrade over that abomination, the Mighty Mouse.
By not perfect, I mean the cable is a little long and the I'll agree with other reviewers who say that the side (flank) buttons are a little difficult to differentiate and engage. But they are so way easier to engage than the Mighty Mouse. The contact points on the Razer Pro are minimalist and slick so movement is very smooth and precise.
Most important, the primary and secondary buttons are well differentiated compared to the "uni-button" on the mighty mouse which is a bad joke.
Anyway, it takes a little trial-and-error to dial the thing in, but if you use your Mac a lot, that's little price to pay for all the ease, performance and functionality this mouse provides.
Customer Review: Excellent mouse
Summary: 5 Stars
Razer's ProSolutions v1.6 Mouse is an excellent piece of hardware. It is highly accurate and very comfortable. It is also one of the few ambidextrous mice that I know of. I use this with my Apple Power Mac G5 and I far prefer to Apple's mice. I highly recommend this mouse, it is so far flawless.Customer Review: Good performance, some flaws
Summary: 4 Stars
I like the mouse, I find it comfortable to use and the "sensitivity adjust on the fly" is really handy. The side buttons are kind of awkward to use, but I've gotten used to it and don't feel like I'll get RSI from using it. The weight seems just right, and the Teflon glides are nice (i have not had to clean mouse-goo off the bottom of it in the two months i've been using it).
My real complaint is that the scroll wheel glows bright blue. It is very bright and you can't turn it off. There is nothing you can do about it except throw a towel over it or unplug it if you want your room dark. It is that bright. I watch movies on my computer and find it terribly annoying. I am tempted to disassemble the unit and find a way to permanently shut it off.
Update: I have, in fact, taken it apart and disabled all the LEDs inside. Now its *really* dark, since the sensor uses infrared or some other non-visible light. It was very easy to make the modification.
Customer Review: Would be great but has technical problems.

The mouse sensitivity randomly goes back to the lowest setting, even with the newest drivers installed. There is a weird disconnect between the Razer control panel sensitivity and Apple's Mouse system preference. Both have to be set to highest sensitivity for the mouse to perform at highest sensitivity. The problem is that Apple's system preference randomly resets to the slowest setting in-game. This makes the mouse useless since I have to minimize the game to reset it.
