Guys, whats the main difference between the Kabuto & Goliathus (Smallest Size)? Been using the Salmosa with my laptop for a while now and it had been skipping quite bad without the use of mousepad on my table

And by any chance you think the Razer Gamepad that was designed for Xbox360 can be used on the PC?

So, basically the difference is just the thickness? How about material? The price is alot of difference though

Well, price aint exactly my stopping point. I dont mind spending extra if the Kabuto is really different from the Goliathus. I had the Goliathus Medium at home and none for my laptop. And when using it with my Salmosa, it jitters and skip quite badly. Have to resort to using conventional A4 paper mousepad at the moment. And since the selling point of the Kabuto was said to be portable, i am just wondering beside the thickness, is there any difference in material that makes the kabuto a step ahead of the Goliathus

Thanks.

Yea. It jitters when used on my table (without any mousepad) for unknown reasons. When i use it on top of an A4 paper, its working fine. Alright. Gonna pay a visit then Thanks.

Well, means it shouldn't jitter at all? If thats the case, i am going to bug and them see whats their response

Clean my goliathus? Not really. It still fine with a lil bit of dust Using it with the DB3G. Only the Salmosa is running without any mousepad

Alright. Thanks alot. I never actually use the DB3G without any mousepad though. Maybe i should try it to see the problem. I just send a support ticket to Razer Zone. Hopefully they can answer me. And one thing, i am using it on my laptop with Ubuntu. I wonder could it be the OS that is causing it to jitter

Well, thats what i say, i dont even know the OS will cause the jitter. So chill Gonna try it out with my DB3G to see whether its the same or not. Thanks anyway.

I had no choice My work needed my to use it. Programmer btw. So i had no choice but to use it on my laptop. Never really realise an OS can cause jitter. And yea, given the choice, i would stick back to Windows Probably i should mail razer support and ask them for a driver for Linux

Well, working hours never really allow me to even have the time to touch the rig, not to mention changing the mouse But as said, i would test the DB3G on Ubuntu and vice versa. Hopefully its indeed a Ubuntu problem

Only 1. Just say i am lazy to burn my stuff to DVDs thus, the need for all the HDDs

I already send Razer a support ticket in regards to any chances of it being problem of Ubuntu. Gonna try it on Windows and see how it goes Let u guys know later

Alright, tested the Salmosa on a Windows Platform and so far, it seems fine. No jittering problem. So, most likely, it is a problem due to Ubuntu. The response from Razerzone Support says that its a hardware problem though and ask me to RMA the mouse

Well, yea, not going to RMA it Its not the hardware problem anyway. I did send them a reply asking whether there could possible be ANY Linux based driver but somehow, they kept quiet

Yea, so most probably when they scan the email, found the word "Jitter" and the solution equivalent for that was "RMA". Never really intend to read the whole of the email i guess. Just searched through some Ubuntu + Razer's compatibility problem and yea, so many did mentioned about jittering. Maybe i should resort to the touchpad of my laptop

Go RMA it. I have the Touch Panel problem together with blinking LEDs as well on my first Lycossa and the replacement given had been working great so far

It depends on how you see it actually. I personally own a couple of Razer mouse,from the Krait to the DB3G and then the Salmosa and all had been working fine. And mind you, my Krait had been around for (i believe) about 4 years. Except for the usual wear and tear (rubber peeling off etc), i still have yet to get any problem with it. And my almost 2 years old DB3G are kicking fine.

I agree with a couple of people here that Razer mouse had probably one of the worse QC i ever seen on a gaming mouse. I handled a couple of Microsoft/Logitech or even SteelSeries before and they dont felt as "cheap" as the Razer. My Krait was OK, the DB3G is good, but the Salmosa was a joke. It just dont feel sturdy enough. But that doesn't take away the fact that they are indeed good mouse. I used them for a while now, and will continue to use them. If we are talking about problematic ones, the worse i had was the Lycossa, requiring to RMAed in just a couple of months. And yes, the Lycossa should be the worst product from Razer that i have ever owned. Not to mention, the most expensive.

And besides the usual Rubber peeling off from the mouse issues, all of them are perfect. Even the Goliathus Speed are working well for me. I am not sure which mat you guys are comparing it with, but i had the Everglide DKT previously and trust me, the DKT was far worse than the current state of my Goliathus. Overall, i just say i would hope that their built quality would be better but in the meantime, i will still stick with them unless i found something better.

Its the same on my Goliathus Speed as well. My previous DKT also suffers from the same problem after a few years. The top layer is peeling off from the bottom part.

It was just announced. Having doubt it will reach here so soon, unless you order direct from Razerzone.

Well, went to the Razerzone US Shop site and it is listing free shipping within US until 29th January. So, i dont think there is any free shipping for International anymore. And it is not listed as item for sale there as well.

According to Razerzone which now list them as available, it will cost $34.99 which translates to about RM120. I would guess RRP here should usually be around RM129 - RM139

Well, then wouldn't it be more towards user preference?

I mean, i am no fan of Razer. Yea, i have a couple of their products but i do have my fair share of complaints about them as well. Lycossa was bad, some of the mouse GC was bad etc. But again, i kinda like the Goliathus Speed. I dont take it as being slippery. And to be perfectly honest, it was meant to be slippery if its a SPEED version no? And comparing it to my previous Everglide DKT and the SteelSeries Mini that i have used before, it do make kind of a good pad No comments on the Control Edition as i never tried them before.

At least thus far,there is no complaints from me about the surface except for the fact that it looks as if the top layer is peeling off And as contrast to you, i felt that the Salmosa is by far the worse mouse i have ever used from Razer.
