Anyone mind clarifying is the Razer Deathadder (The latest one with the 3G sensor) an
optical,
laser or
Infrared mouse? Some sources I read mention that Laser and Infrared are the same thing in mice so I assume it must be a laser mice however many retailers list it as an optical mouse with a better optical sensor with the enhanced technology made by Razer.
Another thing I quite baffling is that some people in gaming communities seem to argue that optical sensor based mice are superior to Laser based one. But most technical site and even gaming peripheral manufacturers seems to point otherwise.
Quoted Frm Razer Zone
3500dpi Razer Precision™ 3.5G infrared sensor
So, did that answer your question?
About the sensor thingy, its more like a marketing gimmick..
Sad 2 say, with various type of sensors out there, the right mouse 4 u is the mouse that you like to use and not the type of sensor it utilize..
Laser based sensor - SS XAI, Razer Mamba
Optical - Ikari Optical, Etc
