Summary: Great until it breaks
Comment: I've owned this mouse for just over a year, and I've really enjoyed it. After using a wireless mouse for a full day, my wrist would be sore so I wanted a lighter wired mouse. This mouse is light, accurate, and feels great in my hand.

However, it has recently started to double or triple-click occasionally when I only single-click. I just replaced it with a different mouse. It should not have failed after one year of use.

As for the firmware update. I tried to install that. Besides being somewhat complicated, it turns out that I can't even install it because there isn't an updater available for Vista 64.

I was really tempted to order another one of these, but I decided not to due to the early failure.

Summary: Only 1 minor flaw
Comment: About this mouuse, only 1 minor flaw. the one I got has one of the top bottons to change DPI getting stuck inside thhe mouse. It doesnt happen all the time annd also if it fails the normal "click" to perform the action, still perform the action when pressed.

It is really a minor annoyannce and probably is just the model i got. I don't even care to send it back for this, i can live with.

Regarding the 5 profiles, it wouuld be nice to have the software recognizing a game and load the right profile when launnching game. It is my understanding you have to pre-set the profile and then run the game.

As functionality is flawless. Those 2 minor things are the reasoon for my 4 stars.

Summary: Great Mouse For The Price
Comment: This mouse is great, the only thing that holds it back is its software which is a bit difficult to install. Once the mouse is installed it performs beautifully. My recomendation is that users install the mouse according to the directions on the razer support site rather then using the directions the mouse is packaged with.

Summary: big disappointment
Comment: Wasn't what I expected... Within a week I just gave it to my friend. Now I come over his house, he leave it off to the side too. I brought a Death Adder after I gave the Habu away... love my DA!

Summary: Best Gaming Mouse I've Used
Comment: This is without a doubt the best gaming mouse I've used. I purchased this mouse awhile back and just bought another one this week. This is one of the only mice I've used that fit my hand. I've used the Wireless Laser Mouse 8000 and 7000 but there is always lag with wireless mice. This mouse is insanely sharp and has instant response. I turn up the DPI to MAX and then have the sensitivity around half in the mouse settings. = Perfect gaming mouse for Call of Duty, Age of Empires, and other games I play.

As a long time user of Microsoft keyboards/mice the first rule of thumb: never ever install the software...

Four stars because the scroll wheel, after bout half a year of daily use, goes bad. When you scroll down it goes up and down. The new one I just bought doesn't do this but will eventually I assume. (Yes, you can use the scroll wheel as a click/drag to scroll down/up webpages).

Definitely recommend this mouse - it works and has worked for me for 6+ months.
