Let's start in the processing: The fact is surprisingly good. Everything is fixed, nothing rattles, everything looks absolutely high quality. No comparison to the Diamondback who was rather shaky from the beginning. Razer has always had indeed problems with the processing, but here it seems almost as if you overcome these problems.
Operation and handling: First big minus. After one week test run, I can say that the thing is rather mediocre in his hand. Keep my mouse with Claw Grip and always have a relatively low sensitivity, but somehow allows the Taipan not so easily from the wrist to swing like the Diamondback. The mouse is back for my hands just too narrow. I just never know where to hintun my ring finger and little finger. And no, I do not have huge paws. The Ringer Finger grinds mostly unintentionally on the mouse pad with, because he just can not find a grip on the right side.
Second Minus: The mouse scratched on the mouse pad. I have a soft and far too expensive Roccat mouse pad and the mouse just does not slide as they should. This is partly due to the too low mounted mouse cable, in which the reinforced insulation forwards again roughs at the pad, on the other hand to the mouse to low feet. If you press the mouse in the heat of battle once more firmly on the table, scraping the soft pad on the mouse bottom.
Precision: 1600 DPI vs 8200! That's sometimes a clear statement. You'd think so. To be honest, I notice little difference. I can aim well with two mice, two mice slip during Neuaufsetzen on pad only little and both are absolutely liquid.
I just do not know what you can use 8200 DPI sense. I do not have noticed that the DPI numbers in mice in recent years to new heights fast, but basically it's just marketing. Maybe yes remembers a fully high Waldensian to 2000 DPI still a difference, but then is definitely closing.
Software: So, we come to the super great driver. The Razer Spynapse 2.0 with outrageous Privacy Policy, cumbersome operation and a lot of funny crashes. A program that is no longer hard to beat in futility. I'm really no one who fears for his "data" has. If Google, M $ or who want to know even more now necessarily on which porn sites I surfed yesterday and what color my underwear: Please. I do not suffer because of paranoia, as it really do for the NSA affair many. But what is too much is too much! If I have to install spyware on my mouse, my settings can not save without an Internet connection and must snychronisieren any dirt with disabilities cloud, only for the settings but then local are stored, then I wonder just why? Maybe yes, some are sure to upload all that maybe there really people who sit every day at 10 different machines and are too lazy to post there profiles, but 99.99% of the people do not need this garbage. If Razer now paralyzes from one day to the other the server, I can use my settings no longer Change- Geht's noch? And yes, I have Steam, Origin I own, but this is a mouse. Somewhere it simply stops ....
And that's not the worst, it does not even work properly! The software crashes in online mode when Windows starts almost reliably. And if she does not, then to 100% open the first. Also the operation on 2 computers for which the program is actually thought not go as intended. When I connected the mouse on my Macbook and Synapse've synchronized, the problems started: Complete profiles disappeared and the lighting could be sudden in some profiles no longer set. To put it briefly: The Windows and OSX drivers pfuschten each other's handiwork. So created second Razer account so my settings remained. Really not cumbersome and unnecessarily complicated.
The mouse goes back definitely. The handling may well be different for each, but the software is an outrage. Moreover teething interfere as underestimates of the cable and the scratching makes the 8200 dpi lapses. In my opinion, not worth 70 euros. No 50. Will then look around times at the competition.
