Not every manufacturer on the market is ready to manufacture their products focusing on only one price segment, because in the first place it hits the company’s budget. On the other hand, this approach to the buyer increases the brand's credibility. In this article, the reader will get acquainted with a wonderful product intended for the gaming segment called Razer. The gaming mouse has never been consumable by consumers - it is a device that falls in love at first sight, and if you buy it, then once and for all.
To better learn about the products of the manufacturer, the reader is given a small excursion into the world of gaming technologies: technical specifications, owner reviews, photos, an overview of the best models. Repairing Razer mice is also of interest to many potential buyers, so this article will touch upon a burning issue for all gamers.
Seductive piece of cake
All representatives of the computer industry want to saturate the game market with their products, however, this is not for everyone, because focusing on profit, many do not take into account the wishes of the future owner, which deserves blame. After all, the gaming segment of manipulators requires high reliability, convenience and functionality from the manufacturer. The Razer gaming mouse, like a keyboard, headphones and other products of the manufacturer, has the stated requirements and is able to satisfy the wishes of any player.
According to the manufacturer, the only significant drawback of all Razer products is the high price, which is several times higher than the cost of similar products from the budget segment. But many potential buyers are already used to the fact that you have to pay for quality, so even those who want to save money are looking for positions in the game class.
Elite
The gaming mouse Razer Ouroboros Elite Ambidextrous is considered not only the top representative of the company in the gaming market, but also the best purchase worldwide. Sales of a device worth 15,000 rubles are estimated in millions annually, and many competitors are starting to sound the alarm, because the rating of their products is significantly reduced.
The main feature of this product is the ability to customize the shape of the case.
In fact, this is a constructor for all players who, choosing a convenient grip, change the physical shape of the mouse. As many owners note in their reviews, such a mouse is easily customizable both under the palm of a child and under the arm of an adult. Many images of the Razer Ouroboros Elite Ambidextrous manipulator in the media fascinate users with their appearance, however, many do not immediately realize that they face the same product.
Meet by clothes
Beauty, convenience and functionality are often not subject to manufacturers of computer peripherals, so when meeting many buyers of an elite Razer product, there will certainly be doubts about the performance of the mouse. However, the manufacturer has something to surprise even the most demanding user:
- the device has a dual interface (wired and wireless), and the mouse functionality is the same for both modes of operation;
- the best Razer mouse has two 4G generation sensors (laser and optical);
- the resolution of the reading sensor is in the range of 400-8200 dpi and can be adjusted using a special switch;
- 11 buttons with instant response are programmable (you can even assign scripts).
In addition to the technical characteristics of the device, the manufacturer allowed the user to experience a sense of joy from the external amenities of an elite manipulator. We are talking about a two-meter interface cord, which is enclosed in a nylon braid. Such a cable cannot be broken or frayed (as is the case with expensive A4 Tech and Logitech products).
The most accurate mouse in the world
The sensor with a resolution of 16,000 dpi in the game pad looks somehow fantastic, because it is difficult to even imagine the implementation of such accurate positioning. However, one Razer mouse, the photo of which can be found in any game magazine, is capable of this. This refers to the Mamba 16000 manipulator. The manufacturer did not stop at the sensitive sensor and offered the user its own vision of the controller for the gaming computer - buttons with an adjustable pressing mechanism.
Manufacturers of HVAC equipment and many furniture designers have long used the effects of controlled lighting in their products, because color is able to regulate the mood of any person. Razer technologists also came to the conclusion that the user needs to be properly configured for the game, so the Mamba 16000 is equipped with a system of LEDs that can not only reproduce 16 million colors, but also create all kinds of effects. Moreover, they are all customizable and remind many of the strobe, which can be fully controlled.
Feedback
When the media is talking about Razer products, the Mamba 16000 is in the limelight. However, most reviews of it are negative. The fact is that the manufacturer introduced this product to the market at the time Microsoft introduced the new Windows operating system. Hastily assembled drivers for the manipulator and created a negative coming from users. According to many owners, the freezing of the mouse cursor in the wireless mode is caused precisely by the software.
The developers fixed the problem, but the deposit remained with many buyers, because it is extremely unpleasant to see the inoperability of a device worth 15 thousand rubles. The second negative factor that the Razer mouse possesses is the small radius of the wireless manipulator - just one and a half meters in direct line of sight. Neither changing drivers, nor any other tricks will help the owner enjoy the game while sitting in a comfortable chair in front of a huge TV screen.
Mouse for creativity
Razer technologists also created the game manipulator for fans of Apple products, because a well-known global brand is in no hurry to provide its users with functional control devices. Naturally, crystal-white plastic was involved in the production in order to somehow correspond to the status of the device for creativity and business. The Razer Taipan White gaming mouse has a rich feature set:
- 4th-generation high-resolution optical sensor installed - up to 6400 dpi;
- the device has a symmetrical grip;
- an intelligent system for saving parameters is built in, which automatically prescribes the settings for each game or application (for this, the user needs to manually make presets).
Portable device tracking
Razer products are not only interested in personal computer owners who spend hours watching their favorite toy. The brand has attracted the attention of many buyers from the mobile segment, because they also want the portable device to be equipped with an attractive control system. And it doesn’t matter at all whether the functionality will be used or not. In fact, this is a completely wrong approach, however, it is he who brings additional profit to the manufacturer.
When reviewing Razer mice in the media and posting photos of products, many experts forget to mention that small manipulators, such as Razer Krait, Razer Taipan Black and Razer Diamondback, are designed for children. They are designed for a children's palm, but not for decorating a businessman’s laptop or a beautiful girl’s gadget. The expediency of using the mouse for other purposes is simply lost.
Limited Editions
It doesn’t matter which product is marketed under the Razer brand: a mouse, mouse pad, headphone or keyboard - they are all unique, inimitable and have a limited series of release. In addition, the manufacturer has introduced an interesting tradition that all potential buyers like. From year to year, along with multi-million series, the manufacturer offers the public a limited batch of goods that are not only created for a specific game, but also come with a pleasant surprise.
Fans of the World of Tanks game were lucky enough to receive not only a unique Pz tank as a gift to the Razer Death Adder mouse. Kpfw. IV hydrostat, and 500 units of gold with premium for 3 days. Judging by the reviews, fans of the StarCraft II game were more fortunate - about 50 thousand users were able to receive a key for playing on the Internet as a gift, against 18 thousand tankers.
Puzzle for computer game lovers
An integral part of the possession of the game pad for all users is to configure the functional mouse buttons. The manufacturer recommends downloading the updated software from the official site and installing it on a computer. Before setting up the Razer mouse, the owner still has to get acquainted with the contents of the instructions, since the manufacturer did not consider it necessary to provide the software part of the device with an intelligent assistant.
In their reviews of Razer products, many owners very often mention a feature called Synapse. This program allows you to not only create individual settings for each game, but also transfer saved data to another computer. This functionality is recommended for all players using ready-made scripts in games.
but on the other hand
For many users, repairing Razer mice causes great fear and discomfort, because there is a warning directly from the manufacturer on the device’s packaging about voiding the warranty if the seal is broken, without eliminating the mouse from dust. There are no options here: either wait for the end of the two-year life, or break the seal and disassemble the device. Many players recommend the second option, because the manipulator must remain functional.
As for cleaning, it is necessary for any device that has high-precision optics and a dust-proof housing. In Razer mice, the sensor is easily clogged with dust and debris that enter through the scroll wheel. To get rid of dirt, you need to unscrew the fixing screws, remove the protective cover of the manipulator and blow out the internal components of the gaming device. Then the mouse is assembled in the reverse order.
Surgical intervention
As a result of many years of use, many owners pay attention to the deterioration of the active mouse buttons. Basically, this is the selection key, which is located under the index finger. In such cases, cleaning will not help; physical intervention is required, which requires attention and perseverance from the user. The media has a lot of recommendations on how to disassemble the Razer mouse , however, few people share their experience on repairing control buttons.
The easiest way is to simply re-solder the controllers, replacing the inoperative element with one of the inactive buttons in the device. Such a procedure takes only 10 minutes in time, however, you need skills to work with a soldering iron. As an alternative, the user will have to open the controllers themselves (they are collapsible), however, you need to do this very carefully, since small details tend to scatter to the sides throughout the room.
Finally
The results of the review are predictable and in fact do not need explanation - the brand is interesting, functional and very popular among fans of games and people of creativity. Confuses only the price of Razer products. The mouse, the cost of which is more expensive than any budget-class smartphone or tablet, is perplexing on the face of many potential buyers. But you always have to pay for quality. True, sometimes, the declared advantages are not as high as we would like (we are talking about the Razer Mamba 16000 product), but each brand on the market has a “skeleton in the closet”. Therefore, you should not pay attention to such a trifle, because all other products have absolute quality and positive feedback from millions of users around the world.
