I'm guessing you never flew a helicopter or a Jet in Battlefield 1942 Desert Combat or BF2 before. lol The Tootpick sized cord on the Razor mice do not hold up. The only Razer mouse that I've owned that held up longer than 2-3 years was the Boomslang ball mouse. The company was sold to a company out of Singapore shortly after the Boomslang 2500 came out. I've had 1 Diamondback which lasted just over 2 years, 2 Deathadders because they sent me a 2nd one when I RMAed the 1 after it died in less than 2 weeks (They actually sent me a letter with it and an apology stating that a few with defective switches slipped through there QA department so they gave me 2 brand new Deathadder mice) (I gave 1 to my brother and his went kaput in about 8 months and mine lasted for just over 1 year) and a Lachesis that the cord failed on after 8 months so I took a hammer to it because the Limp dick of a cord that they put on them shorted out and burnt out the USB ports on the Very Expensive DFI LanParty motherboard that I had.
Overpriced Cheaply built Chinese Junk with a cool illuminated green logo lol
They do have a very good Lazer in them and the Razer Synapse software is much much better than Logitechs (LGS) Logitech Gaming Software.
The Logitech MX 518 gaming mouse was the best all around mouse that you could get that would hold up to pretty much any abuse. The G500 which is what I'm using is a tad bit better because of it's Awesome Lazer. It will literally track perfectly on Any surface. It tracks just as good on thick Carpet as it does on a $40 Razer Destructor 2 Pro gaming hard mouse mat. You can lift the mouse up about 1/2 of an inch off the mouse pad and it still tracks perfectly. That's how I can do the Jump and Flic around corners so fast on COD4. Anyone that did any sort of Pro gaming in the past should know about the Flic.
