Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Razer Pro Click v1.6--1600 dpi Mouse for Mac/PC
Customer Review: Very Nice Mouse
Summary: 5 Stars
Havn't had any problems with this mouse in 9 months of use.Customer Review: Excellent mouse for PC or Mac
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this aesthetically pleasing mouse about 1.5 years ago. Although it did take a few days to acclimate to, I have enjoyed its precision and comfort through many, many hours of use. It looks great and functions beyond expectation.
The only minor setback (in my opinion) are the thumb buttons. First of all, I'm glad they exist (unlike on the Copperhead model) since I use thumb buttons frequently for both browsing and gaming. I'm used to them now, but at first I considered them too small and conservative. The buttons themselves are very thin and requires a precise touch. However, I have no problem now that I'm used to them.
A note on drivers: I've heard quite a few complains about Razer drivers. My advice to you is this: don't install them. I have used the default Windows and OSX drivers for this mouse and have never had a problem. The sensitivity is still there. The buttons are mappable either in-game or from within Windows. No problems whatsoever on that topic.
Conclusion: excellent mouse from a user that has certainly put it through the flames over the past 1.5 years. Get one!
Customer Review: You need this upgrade if you own a Mac
Summary: 4 Stars
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: 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: 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.
