Trust me, the more complicated the design is, the more problematic it will be. Design wise, the best and most comfortable for right handed gamers is the old timer Deathadder. Yes, Mamba, the flagship mouse for Razer is basically wireless Deathadder but still Deathadder is more ergonomic and comfortable due to some design flaw in mamba. naga mouse is just a laughing stock. Looking back at the old times where Razer Diamonback was the king of gaming mouse, the launch of the first version of Deathadder (it was so successful that they released the refreshed version) and Razer Mantis as the 'true' gaming pad, then compare them with Razer today's offering, Abyssus, Megasoma, Naga or whatever the name is.. Which of these 2 different era of Razer products are much more comfortable to use, cheaper, almost hassle free, better build quality?
Oh yeah, just wanna add that the Goliathus is used to wear was the control edition. im not sure about the speed edition (most users are wearing) but the wear and tear signs are so obvious even upon the first day of using it. Just to make myself clear, i am perfectionist, thus taking care of my properties with love.
Yes, i have to agree with u that no company can produce a hard mat which doesnt wear off after 10 years, but like i said in earlier post, i wore Exactmat 2-3 months upon purchasing brand new (if u wanna know from whom i bought, i bought from jy14, old timer razer reseller who had quit LYN not too long ago). I do gaming on regular basis but i can assure u that that mouse pad had yet to be abused.
How come my mice all faulty? Better ask Razer's quality control department. Maybe i bought the so-called 'bad' batch units but then again, why couldnt they prevent these problem in the first place?

The quality control is so bad, even the 2 years warranty provided by Razer is not enough.
I dont have sweaty palm mind you, and the alphabet keys are faded away less than a year. do try to make more research on how bad tarantula is.. The letters are all missing and i cant even connect to BIOS (the keys are not responding upon booting the pc). well, my trusty old logitech ps/2 port keyboard still alive and kicking without any issue after 6 years of gaming, why cant the more expensive Razer keep up with their counterparts?
You have a very good point there, G_KeN! Razer 'Classics' are much more trusty and reliable. Within a few months they can release so many, TOO many products. I see alot of fail products.. the Megasoma (seriously, who buys a mousepad that costs RM180?), for instance. In this case I will replace the 'best mouse' with Logitech instead, which I had previously underestimated. Especially their MX518, good build as well as a very good price.. I have heard many cases in which new, out-of-the-box Razer mouses have to be RMA'ed because they failed to function properly on their first try. Luckily mine is still going strong, I hope my Krait will last me at least another year because I've grown accustomed to the contour of this mouse.
True, Razer's QC is very horrible nowadays. In a bid to raise productivity and exports they came out with less-than-worthy products. I also do not understand the concept of having to buy a 'Battle Light'.
As for hard mat reviews, I rarely see other brand hard mats since nearly everywhere I go I can see the Razer eXactmat or it's white sibling the Razer Pro|Solutions Mousepad. I'm not very keen on spending RM5x on a piece of Razer Sphex, because I felt that my previous 'Ikea Dralla' chopping board fares the same. To those who do not know, Uncle Ianho did a review on the creative use of Ikea Dralla chopping boards (a pair for less than RM10) as gaming mousepads.. and even compares them to an Everglide mat, IIRC.
I agree that Naga mouse is a laughing stock.. I keep thinking it's a phone =.=
Anyway, this 'debate' on Razer has proved to be very informative and eye-opening, so I thank you G_KeN for your participation
