I’m a big fan of Razer’s gaming mice and use their Krait mouse every day but I’m slightly confused by this latest addition to the range.

Now, correct me if I’m wrong, but there’s not that many games out there for the Mac family is there?  I can’t be certain (being a PC user) but I can’t recall seeing things on the shelf……..

Yup - I’ve had a look and there are games for the Mac!!! I think I just spend too long in recording studios and automatically equate Macs with session work, music and not seeing the outside world for days at a time!

Razer obvioulsy knew better all along as they have launched the Lunar White Razer DeathAdder, an ergonomic right-handed gaming mouse specifically built with the needs of Mac OS X gamers in mind(?)

It features their renowned Razer 3G Infrared Sensor technology and 1800 DPI with 1000Hz Ultrapolling/1ms response and a tracking speed of up to 120 inches per second.

With 3200dpi gaming mice becoming the standard, Razer needed to step it up.  Personally I find my, now standard, 3200dpi mouse plenty much enough. I4U reviewed Razer’s 4000dpi Lachesis as being ”….very accurate and tracking is great, particularly in Crysis”. Keep in mind though; this review was performed whilst playing on a 30-inch screen!

If you’re on a considerably smaller screen, you’d probably find yourself in the case of the missing cursor. Fortunately, you can adjust the resolution on the fly, and profiles are stored in the mouse’s 32KB of onboard memory. The major drawback’s actually the scroll wheel, which he wishes was more like the one on Logitech’s G9. That aside, it pulls a pretty solid 9.0 rating.

This mouse costs $80US so you’d probably benefit from a test-drive before parting with your hard earned.
