This is my first razer product, and I've always learned that first impressions matter. Clearly razer does not share that same mentality.
What I like about the mouse itself:
- Smooth scrolling
- Satisfying tactile clicks
- Slightly roughed texture (I personally don't like smooth)
- DPI Cycle for macro
What I don't like about the mouse itself:
- Right click is a bit sharp, bugs my ring finger a bit
Why I can't recommend this mouse; I like this mouse. My first razer first product and I was shocked at how good it was. I installed the software to change my macro and it turns out the software can't run without an internet connection and a razer account. After doing a bit of research it turns out the software is used as spyware. They previously had their privacy policy set in tune with 'we use a keylogger and look at what sites you visit for advertising purposes'. It hasn't changed much, they still use their software to 'make marketing more relevant'. Instead of making money by selling a good product with a bunch of feature. They make a good product and sell your data to make even more money. Some people I feel won't see this as a huge concern. Well, you should probably know this. Even while completely whitelisted in my firewall, the software still would not work. I suspect it's because it's using an unconventional method of connecting to the internet commonly used by malware. My firewall is provided by Avast, so this theory makes sense, although I would have to contact Avast to confirm.
If you're looking for an exceptional mouse, and don't care what the software does it the background. This is for you, just know you're agreeing to selling your data. This trend needs to stop.
