Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Razer Pro Click v1.6--1600 dpi Mouse for Mac/PC
Customer Review: Perfect example of form over function, style over substance
Summary: 1 Stars
My trusty Microsoft IntelliMouse Optical finally wore out, so I bought this one based on Razer's reputation and because it has seven buttons. Alas, inspite of all the claimed technical wizardry, this mouse is absolutely absymal and I returned it pronto.
1. The mouse requires an odd, unnatural grip.
2. I hold the mouse with my index and middle fingers resting on the left and right buttons, respectively, and those are so soft that when I clicked one, the slight sympathetic downward movement of the other finger clicked the other one as well.
3. The four programmable buttons on the sides are tiny and impossible to find, and unlike the main buttons, are so hard that you really have to grip the other side of the mouse, so again you end up clicking two buttons, one each on opposite sides.
4. This is a personal preference, but I hate hardware that installs useless proprietary software on my PC: Razer's proprietary driver is no better than the built-in Windows driver, which works just fine; moreover, Razer's driver starts two background processes, which is ridiculous for a mouse and adds to the startup time. The driver does allow programming the extra buttons, but the programming options are limited, and given the impossibly small buttons, quite useless.
5. This mouse only works with a USB port, and won't work with a USB-to-PS/2 adapter, so it won't work with a PS/2 KVM switch.
My suggestion: buy something else until Razer fixes these problems.
Customer Review: This mouse rocks!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a computer accessory geek. I buy mice and keyboards like some women by shoes and I have to say that this is hands down the best mouse I have ever used. It is comfortable, light, smooth and just damn cool to look at! I have one on my Mac and one on my XP machine and it works just as good on either one. Highly recommend!
