Too right, it's all about marketing. Razer have used marketing BS like this suitcase stunt to successfully convince morons that their mice are something special and are better than other mice. Of course a lot of "professional" gamers that are sponsored by Razer don't actually use Razer mice. Everyone likely saw the Razer Cypher special edition mouse which sold on eBay for $501. What mouse does Cypher use? A 400dpi MS wheel mouse.

I pity anyone who pays Razer's ridiculous prices some pretty blue LEDs and a load of marketing crap like Razer Synapse (TM), Glowpipe (TM), Always-On (TM), 1000Hz Ultrapolling (TM), and OMG 3200dpi Razer Precision (TM). Razer know that if you take away their marketing there's little left so they frantically trademark everything possible. How the hell can you trademark "Always-On"?]]>Mar 20th 2009 6:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/razer-mamba-wireless-gaming-mouse-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/razer-mamba-wireless-gaming-mouse-hands-on/Mar 20th 2009 7:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/razer-mamba-wireless-gaming-mouse-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/razer-mamba-wireless-gaming-mouse-hands-on/Mar 20th 2009 8:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/razer-mamba-wireless-gaming-mouse-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/razer-mamba-wireless-gaming-mouse-hands-on/Mar 21st 2009 1:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/razer-mamba-wireless-gaming-mouse-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/razer-mamba-wireless-gaming-mouse-hands-on/All games have a sensitivity setting to allow you to turn faster. You don't need a high cpi mouse just to turn fast.

"2) my aiming was not accurate"
Mice don't aim for you. Aim is about skill not having an expensive mouse with blue lights and a cool paint job. Cypher is well known for his amazing aim despite his 400cpi mouse, so clearly there's no need for laser mice with a 4000cpi sensor.

"as if most hardcore gamers wouldn't be willing to spend an extra Jackson or two to get a more comfortable mouse"
I do agree that comfort is important and that's why the Microsoft Wheel Mouse is so popular with many "professional" gamers - it's a simple, comfortable design. Most gaming mice tend to be heavily over engineered in terms of design and only fit well in the hand of a small subset of players while the MS Wheel Mouse works well for most players.]]>Mar 21st 2009 11:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/razer-mamba-wireless-gaming-mouse-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/razer-mamba-wireless-gaming-mouse-hands-on/Mar 20th 2009 3:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/razer-mamba-wireless-gaming-mouse-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/razer-mamba-wireless-gaming-mouse-hands-on/Mar 20th 2009 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/razer-mamba-wireless-gaming-mouse-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/razer-mamba-wireless-gaming-mouse-hands-on/Mar 20th 2009 4:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/razer-mamba-wireless-gaming-mouse-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/razer-mamba-wireless-gaming-mouse-hands-on/Mar 20th 2009 3:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/razer-mamba-wireless-gaming-mouse-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/razer-mamba-wireless-gaming-mouse-hands-on/http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_pointers/mice/devices/187&cl=US,EN

It actually reminds me of the Microsoft Laser Mouse 6000

Not that either of those really matter, I'm all about the precision, not for the gaming aspect, but for the design. I'm too cheap to buy a digital tablet and learn to use it. Wireless is icing on the cake.]]>Mar 20th 2009 3:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/razer-mamba-wireless-gaming-mouse-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/20/razer-mamba-wireless-gaming-mouse-hands-on/
