Razer's New Mouse Optimized for MMO and RTS

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the does-it-farm-for-me dept.

An anonymous reader writes "XYZComputing has a review of Razer's new Krait mouse which is specifically designed for massively multiplayer online gaming as opposed to the usual design focus of first-person shooters. From the article: 'The criteria for an appropriate mouse for each style of gaming are different, or at least Razer would want you to think that this is the case. With the market starting to accept products like gaming mice and gaming keyboards, it was only a matter of time until someone introduced a mouse for a certain type of game. While it is easy to be skeptical of such an idea, Razer has a great reputation and may actually be onto something here.'"

    It is just a normal mouse, except that middle-click is bound to chatting "[Arcane Crystal][Arcane Crystal][Arcane Crystal]" by default.</wow bias>
