its all preference.
the grand daddy of the razer speed edition can be considered the everglide dktmat, aka the signature mat of destrukt - a FPS player.
from that gave birth to razer mantis and now goliathus.
the control version should have come about due to the offering of it on the ExactMat.

tbh while the shape feels nice, the switches are a little hard and the sensor is quite bad . just 4 dpi steps and tracks badly at 1600 and 3200 dpi. they've resolved both of these issues with the new kana v2

that was why it was always known as the kana-sai back then

really haha , luckily my monitor is 1440x900. 800dpi still manageable

That's enlightening. Thought of trying it out, since it comes with a nice bundle. The default DPI steps are 400-800-1600-3200 right? This is done by clicking the DPI button right? Without any softwares?

default DPI's are those that you stated. it has software but all it does is to assign macros. you can only switch between 2 DPI levels according to what you have assigned in the software. one thing i'm sad about is that DPI values are fixed and can't be altered even with software

Meaning if we install the software, and then set the DPI to e.g 800 - 1600 DPI, I can only switch between these 2 settings via the DPI button? Wah, if the DPI are fixed and can't change other than the pre-defined settings, then it's definitely a minus point for me.

yep, i knew this before i bought the mouse but still bought it anyway. now feel kinda stupid

can set to 400dpi without using the software like plug n play ?

I've set mine to 400 and 800 dpi and the mouse remembers my config when I plug into another laptop. So I think yeah

But if you just got the mouse, you need the software

anyone can tell the differents brtween razer goliathus control vs speed ?

Control = harder surface/higher friction. Speed = smooth surface/lower friction.

normally fps games is control?

Yes. The idea is so you can have better control on aiming your enemy. However, different people, different taste.

WTA-if the surface of my mouse kinda deteriorates...can claim warranty?

for razer death adder black version...

i hate the rough feeling on the mouse now

You mean the mouse feet wore off?

Please refer to http://www.razerzone.com/warranty#question7

Generally, normal wear and tear is not covered by any warranty. It's item (i) under Exclusions and Limitations.

I have a Razer Orochi and its original rubber-like top coat has already lightly worn away in a couple of weeks. My Orochi is now 3 years old and the top coat is all gone. I kinda like how it feels now.

But I wish Razer releases an original cover for the Orochi, much like what they did for the Black Chrome cover.

the top surface where the hand touches the mouse

aw...no...maby i complain to them "hey y ur build quality to bad" then maby they will accept it

LOL, really.

It would be like returning a car to Proton because the tyres got worn out from all the driving you did. They'd probably laugh at you.

Seriously, you'll be wasting your time. That's why the terms of use are provided to you in the box when you purchase something. Unless the mouse was defective, they wouldn't waste a breath on you.

Is it bad customer service? Nope. They're just honoring the contract that you effectively agreed to when you opened the box.

yeah i get the point that i cant claim under normal terms and conditions..but maby i can try to get some mutual agreement with the company..

i reli dun wana replace this mouse..i think i fell in love with it
