Just need some instruction here...I am about to get my Razer Krait and Everglide DKT Gaming pad soon.Do i need to do anything when i get the mouse as in any way to test it, need to install any particular driver?or its just like normal plug and play mouse.Just plugging it into pc will do?

Usually, after buying the mouse, just use it in the plug and play mode to ensure it's working then install the bundled drivers. Then after that, play the games that you'll use it mainly for or just use the mouse like how u use it daily, then find any prob with it, ask you seller.

The only thing I would recommend you to do is to reconsider your purchase and go for DeathAdder instead...caused I've used both and Krait is nowhere as good as DeathAdder. But if you've already ordered it...well...guess you've made up your mind then

would like to ask u all what do u all think about diamondback? is ti worth to have because the price is between krait and ch...
is it better to get krait if tight budget? what is the specialty of diamondback?
thanks..

I've put the DA up close with the Krait, the CH and the DB and let me tell you. Nothing comes close to the DA. The pulsing Razer logo itself is way better than all the lights at the side. And the DA beside the Habu, no questions there. DA looks 100 times better.

I don't know, personal preference I guess. Take a look at the pictures I posted up, not too well taken. Dang orange curtains, but the DA is a gorgeous mouse.

1st when i saw DA, i was like yuck.. now after looking at it from user's one.. I kinda like it d.. And i saw the logo on the mouse looks so much nicer than CH and after wat u said i love it even more.. hahahah

The looks is personal, performance is another thing too.
You say it looks better for you doesn't mean it will looks better for the others though.

yes i agree wiv wat u say..
most important thing is the performance wise...

Thanks alot for the info here.I will definitely test it when it arrives...Anyway, what does the bundled software normally do?Would it still function nicely without installing any of the bundled software?

Well, i know the DA would be much better than the Krait without a doubt.But my budget is limited and still, i am not so much of a hardcore gamer that need such a high precision mouse.So for now, i guess the Krait would be my best choice...

diamondback > krait and copperhead

its sensor is very reliable and its got good looks to boot.

but be warn... after a long usage of diamondback.. the wordings and logo on the mouse will fade due to sweat...

The software is to allow you to config the mouse further to suit your usage. It's better than Window's own option under the control Panel. I've not installed any software from Razer CD for my DiamondBack but it's very safe and easy to use without the need of the bundled software. I guess mayb bcoz I've yet to use it for games like CS. (Coz my GC not powerful enuf to enjoy a smooth game , hehe)

So, mayb you won't need to install the software unless u find any prob with it.


In my opinion, currently besides Habu and DeathAdder, my preference is: DiamondBack > CopperHead > V 1.6 > Krait. I've seen the DeathAdder but not yet try it. Waiting for my Tarantula and GC 1st. haha. But, from all those who has reviewed their opinion on the DeathAdder, I have no doubt that it'll be the best rodent from Razer and I hope more to come with the laser technology. After all, laser could be the next generation's precise mouse for gaming, especially when we can afford the true HD like 30" Dell monitors with 7900GTX SLI. (2500 X 1600 resolution).

cept for one slight prob.
the Death Adder is not a laser sensor.
its using a 3rd Gen Infra Red sensor, essentially an upgraded Diamondback sensor.

come on, you're selling razer/everglide stuff, the least you could do is learn alittle more about the products.

Ok..thanks alot for the info.I will definitely test it out when it arrives..Hopefully it will satisfy my normal gaming need for the time being..

oh, i meant to say that I was hoping for more new Laser-sensor mouse from Razer, didn't mean to refer the DeathAdder using the laser technology.

Coz, Laser sensors offers higher DPI, useful for bigger screens, but clearly, that will be for the future, not now. Currently, the Optical wans are good enuf.

I know I should learn more of my stuffs that I'm selling, I agree with you. That's y I'm alwiz looking out in this thread to learn more about the weakness and good features that you guys have encountered. I do feedback these stuffs to Razer. No prob dude, will continue to learn more from you guys and also anything else that I can find out from Razer side.

I was only talking about the looks. Performance wise, it'll be better once the firmware is released to fix the problems it has now.

wat the prob it has?

actually i get a feeling razer has abandoned laser sensors and are making microsoft the guinea pigs for laser sensor gaming mouses, since thats what microsoft seems to like
im hoping the next mouse will be another ambidextrous mouse like Copperhead but with the Deathadder sensor.

which model of razer is best for photo editing and gaming purpose?

photo editing? any of the razer mouses is good enough.
gaming? all depends what design you like.
