Razer DeathAdder for Mac OS X User reviews

By Craig Simms on 18/07/2008

More Razer reviews , RRP: AU$99.95

The good:

  • Good accuracy
  • Highly responsive
  • Highly customisable
  • Multiple profiles

The bad:

  • Weedy cable
  • Infrared means it won't track as well on some surfaces
  • Right handed only

The bottomline:

With StarCraft II and Diablo III on the horizon for OS X, and the benefits designers and video editors can gain from a highly responsive and accurate mouse, this is one device you should check out.

Editors' rating:

8.5/10

the mouse is supposed to have a "weedy" cable. Its a gaming mouse, the cable is thin so that it doesnt kink and push back on the mouse. Makes it less likely to get in the way. User experience is the difference here. Having used lots of mouse in a professional gaming scene, the razer cables are by far the best for not getting in the way.

      Logitech QuickCam Sphere AF

      While the QuickCam Sphere produces excellent pictures and has impressed us with its automatic face tracking, these features don't justify the extra expense over the cheaper webcams in the Logitech stable with matching optics.

      Logitech QuickCam Pro for Notebooks

      We're not wild about the design of Logitech QuickCam Pro for Notebooks, but its image quality is so vastly superior to that of other notebook webcams that we're more than willing to make the occasional camera readjustment as needed.

      As impressive as we find the Optimus Maximus keyboard in concept, the US$1,600 price tag overwhelms its real world benefits. We can only recommend this keyboard to those most charmed by this unique keyboard's novelty.
