So this is a funny little story about Razer.

/pat for what happened
But, if they are always broken and malfunctioning in some way why don't you pick something else?

i bought a razer imperator 2-3 years back. same left click problem after a year. rma-ed locally(went to the local hq) and same problem happened a year later. bought a steel series sensei and praying it's gonna be alright.

Dude , why do you need that much buttons on mouse...
If you're a casual gamer and you want nice looking mouse ... go for roccat kone (or kone+)
I've been using Kone for about 2 and half years , no problems whatsoever ... although steelseries are neat mice aswell :)

Note to self: Don't buy from Razer.

Error: Note already existed. Not adding again.

This is why I bought a Sentinel instead of a razer, Sentinel make really nice mice.

i bought a mice from razer, and it's working great. no problems so far. now, i want to but mamba 2012 :)

lol tht suck it seems some one is not doing there job right over there.

Well, my Death Adder is still working fine.

My G9 Laser is stil working after 4 years. All my Logitech shit is. Only have a Razer mousemat ^^

Wow, I have a Deathadder and it's been working great for 4 months now. I wasn't aware Razer were such...........idiots.

A beanie? wow.

just got my first Razer Deathadder last week

The Good Old Days

One more datapoint: I've had a Razer Lachesis, the same Razer Lachesis, for ~5.5 years.

For the past 3 years I've been working from home ~8 hours * 5 days a week on top of my gaming/internet time.

tl;dr based on my experience 100% of Razer mice last for over 5 years and 1000s of hours of use.

To be honest it's always hit or miss. Some people have mice of all kinds break very quickly. I've had my Deathadder for 4 or 5 years now, still working perfectly.

i've had my naga for about 2 years, haven't had any problems with it but i love the thing.

lol Beanie.
When my Deathadder died after 1 month I replaced it with Naga Epic. Bought it because it had wireless mode. Aaaand it didn't work as wireless, support told me 4 times to reinstall drivers, and one time to update firmware. It slowly died after 4 months of use. Returned it and bought SS Sensei and Razer BlackWidow, both for price of Naga (yes, its still Razer but fine mechanical keyboard). Happy now. And my friend had the same story with Naga after 3-4 months of use.
TL;DR based on my experience 75% of Razer mice are bad

I have a Razer Imperator and it's perfect. Before that I had 2 differant Deathadders, all have been perfect with no problems whatsoever. Bad luck :(

My first gaming mouse was a Diamondback, busted after a year, it would spam click non-stop like it was its damn job. Last year I bought a Razer Mamba (that shit was expensive), busted after 5 months, the lazor wouldn't fire anymore. Razer: Crapware.

Does the beanie have useless LED lights in it? Maybe displays on the monitors in case you're staring at your keyboard rather than the screen? Perhaps a 18 ear-warmers, when you clearly only really need 2?

My husband and I went through 3 Razer Habus (2him & 1me), then we switched to Logitech, and were still on our first Logitech each after 2+ years. I'll never buy another Razer mouse again. Also, we got one free replacement, and gave our friends the other serials to get 2 more replacements from the Habus.

Don't buy a SteelSeries product, dude. I just returned their 6GV2 mechanical keyboard after the Num, Caps, and Scroll locks started randomly going on and off (both the lights and the functions). The lettering wearing off the keys after less than two days of just typing is pretty crap, too - "laser-etched" my arse. Wasn't impressed with their "tech support", either - they talk like a bunch of 10 year olds who just discovered l33t speak or something. Blech.

Logitech mouse ----> will work FOR EVER

I bought Razer DeathAdder like 3 or 4 years ago and still works like a charm.
I guess I'm lucky :D
