Anyone here using this mouse??
Razer Krait is not a product to replace the Copperhead. Spotting a smaller sized body, and "only" 1600dpi, the Krait was not designed to be a First Person Shooter (FPS) mouse. The Razer Krait was being announced during World Cyber Games Grand Finals 2005 and we were told that the Krait is a mouse meant for Real Time Strategy (RTS) players. Probably due to the less demanding nature of RTS games, the Krait does not come with the similar cutting edge features found on the Copperhead. However, we believe the Krait is a product meant to replace Razer's aging Viper. To summarise, the Krait is a lower end mouse, targeting the mass market with a "wallet friendly" price tag. We'll address further on why we think so in the coming pages...
Here are some quick specifications on the Razer Krait:
Up to 1200 Actions Per Minute (APM)
1600 DPI Infrared Optical Engine Powered by Razer Precision Engine
3 independent programmable buttons optimized with Hyperesponse Technology for Ultra Tactile button feedback and maximum APM game play
16 bit Data Path, as compared to 8 and 12 bit data path used by conventional mice
Zero-Acoustic Ultrasleek Teflon feet
High Speed Motion Detection, up to 40 Instructions Per Sec / over 6600 Frames Per Sec
Always On mode pioneered by Razer - The Infrared Optical Engine Sensor that never powers down, providing instantaneous response at all times during game play
Award Winning Razer drivers featuring on the fly sensitivity DPI adjustment pioneered by Razer
Non Slip Side Rails
Ergonomics Ambidextrous Design
Ultra Large Non Slip rubber coated mouse buttons
Gold Plated USB connector for Maximum Conductance
7 foot Lightweight, Non Tangle Cord

ah, this mouse looks sexy.
If it's just as good as the Diamondback, I want one.
I just checked the price, it's $39.99, and the Diamondback in $79.99.
I'm guessing WCG will use it this year, hopefully along with Razers new keyboard and headphones.

Oh, it's 10 dollars cheaper here in China, looks like i should get one.

No good Starcraft players I know use the Copperhead for SC on a regular basis.
I find the it being better for WoW players.
The Diamondback is used regularly, I was using the Viper for a little over a year until it wanted to not work good anymore, and I sold my 4 Copperheads on ebay.

The buttons are HUGE! Half the mouse is taken up by buttonspace. Seems like it might be annoying.

why does razer have a new mouse every 4 months?

You meant average APM?
Progamers like Nada at some points can reach more than 1000 APM. But maybe more than half are from keyboard. Anyway I think it'll help *insane* players to make more faster & sensitive clicks. This also means the buttons are more durable for super fast massive clicks.

The Krait is basically Diamondback without side buttons; I wouldn't buy it unless there is a big price difference between it and the Diamondback.
Copperhead is overpriced for what it is right now- a 2000dpi Diamondback, whoop-dee-do.

It was just released, the retail price is RMB240 in china, which is $30. Almost the same price as G1. Look forward to some SCer's review on it.

Here's some pictures of the Krait, when compared against the Copperhead:

Nice move by Razer. I don't need any of the shit thats on copperhead/viper for their price, but this is just right
