Razer intros Imperator gaming mouse with adjustable side buttons

It doesn't have one of those customizable weight feature that I love.

This seems to be a bit of a gimmick to me, something maybe to boast to your geeky friends about... I mean can someone honestly say that they need 5600dpi in a game?

I'm concerned with such mice that offer adjustable buttons and whatnot (like this or Habu). I mean, I really abuse my electronics so build quality is a top priority for me. And I think this applies to the majority of gamers out there.

i boutgh a razer death adder last year and the side button broke. I wonder if this sliding button could brake easily... Except for this problem, the death adder is the best mouse i ever bought =)

Same here dude - but I'm not gonna be upgrading until something more worthy comes, like 8 or 10.000 DPI

What's all thcraze about DPI? I use a mouse that's just been labelled "SONY", nothing else, how do you check how many DPI it has? Regardless of this, I've completed lots of games using this mouse, games like Call Of Duty 4, Left 4 Dead, Prince Of Persia (all of them), F.E.A.R 2, S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow Of Chenobyl... The list is endless... The price was around $4. I bet I can complete even the most complex games on this Razor mouse in one go...

A couple people mentioned the logitec g5, which is what I also have. I think I'll stick with it until it dies, just because it actually does fit my hand quite well. plus it has all thoes great programmable buttons, what's not to love? This new mouse does look sick, don't get me wrong, just not quite enough of a reason for me to get it.

I use a logitech mx revolution, I'm gonna have to check and see what the dpi is on it as i'm curious now. This mouse does look really cool, I am curious though anyone with experience on this, does jumping up to a mouse with alot more dpi really make a difference in your gaming? I'd love to hear from a Tech Spot person on this as I know they've tested tons of mice.

Razer's my favourite mouse makers. The Imperator reminds me my DeathAdder but with better 3.5G laser sensor. Also I like the new look of the wheel.

whoa this mouse is tasy, whats the thumb grip for? anyway, 5600 dpi? now thats precision.. what are they trying to do increasing it's precision to 5600 dpi? i just dont get it.. and damn thats a luxury mouse.. there are other pretty good mouses there that are cheap and functional too.. but this ones not bad either, but for the price not buying it..

damn . this mouse is good.. does anyone has idea what the price is ? If its too costly, i will wait rather buying now.

Aside from the 2100 DPI difference, how would this mouse compare to the new Deathadder 3.5G? I've been looking for a replacement for my MX510 for awhile, but I just can't seem to ever decide on a mouse. The adjustable thumb buttons do not seem that enticing, but this mouse does offer a ton of DPI.

Come to think of it, is Techspot planning on doing another gaming mouse comparison? I noticed the last time one was done was over a year ago, and plenty of new mice have hit the street since then. It would make my new mouse decision much, much easier

This mouse looks a little different than Razer's previous mice, but it looks promising. If only i didn't just buy a G5

Razer can make some nice products... by my big complaint. and the reason I don't buy from them.

Do NOT lose any part to any product they have. From there FAQ

Q: Can I request or purchase replacement parts for my Razer product?
A: Razer does not currently supply any replacement parts.

I am one of those gamers that think success is in skills, not in peripherals. I never gave more than 30$ for mouse. But i must admit that some of the Razor mouses look really nice, but the price is not in my range. Maybe ebay
I don`t have nothing against Razor (i type on Razor Lycosa from ebay).

maby if you're lucky one of us will sell you our old gamin mouse when we get this one xD

nice ive been looking to replace my mouse, been using a old ball mouse since G4 broke.

Sliding thumb grips, adjustable weights, 7 buttons, adjustable sensitivity, etc . . . I bought my Death Adder for gaming but I don't need/like all those bells and whistles on the higher end mice like the Imperator. The four buttons I have are more than enough and I rarely ever change the sensitivity.
