Bagged this brand new on eBay for £49 including delivery and fast delivery and the item is spot on ...

Packaging

The packaging as always from Razer looks great and is easy to open, you can also open the front of the box so you can have a hold of the mouse in store without opening it...

First Impressions and Comfort

The mouse looks great really sleek design

its got some really nice features about it, the side grips have a leathery feel to them so your fingers feel really comfortable on the sides

from the front you have some sort of jet fighter intakes :S they look awesome though and the cable is braided as well which i actually really REALLY like

on the bottom we have a 4G Dual Sensor System - 8200dpi with some really smooth rubber grips that slide really nice on my steel series mouse mat

little bit of a nice styling feature ive noticed is the lights dim on the mouse when you lift it of the mouse mat... also the razer logo on the palm bit of the mouse fades on and off all the time, it looks awesome

Performance

first thing i did was put this baby right up to 8200 dpi as you all would obv but then i lost my mouse lmao it was mega fast.... so i went into system settings (very slowly and carefully) and slow the speed of the mouse down a bit so i could keep it on 8200 its amazing you can literally blow on it and it will move (ive just tried that and it moved btw) so in Photoshop very accurate precision control all around very impressed with it tbh its also very comfortable in the hand to... in game couldn't be better you can have any of the 6 buttons do anything you need to as long as you have downloaded the razer software which is a must as well.

Software and Drivers

Software was easy to find on the razer site and easy to install no probs at all on win7 x64 ( <<<<<<< upgraded from windows 8 recently to win7) the software actually allows you to calibrate your mouse mat :S tbh i didn't notice any difference after it at all but still cool though... the best thing about the software is you can adjust how far away the mouse needs to be from the mouse mat before it will move the cursor

Conclusion

Overall this is a awesome mouse and a bargain for the price i paid on ebay... i would highly recommend this mouse

I'll read this in full later, but that mouse looks SO much nicer aesthetically than anything I've seen from razor before
