Spectre is a tad overpriced IMO, for that range I would pickup a DeathAdder for sure

price isnt a factor i did read/hear the mouse is lightweight. its got the same specs as the mamba only not wireless, and i think 2 less buttons? but its lighter, i guess the lights can be an asset as well and from the pics it looks like very nice quality as opposed to the deathadder. the deathadder is nice but the buttons do seem like a bit flimsy and lose i guess dunno how to describe it

Spectre looks sweet though. I kinda want it, but not until my Logitech G5v2 breaks (if it ever does).

Yes you can charge and use wired. I've had this mouse maybe 5 months and the battery still gives me 2-3 days, the battery is also replaceable. As for the rest, the combination of high performance and wireless is what you are paying for with this mouse... I don't notice any difference between wired and wireless and you can go up to some ridiculous DPI and still maintain accuracy, I keep my DPI much higher than I did with my MX518 because the tracking feels smooth and accurate even at the high levels.

The only thing I feel missing with this mouse is no aural indicator of low battery, you have to look at the gauge (though it is easy to see if you are right handed). It would probably get annoying if there was one though so no big deal.

Although if I wasn't so broke ass broke at the time, I would have, without a doubt, gotten a Xai... qq

The Spectre is just crap. Definitely not worth the money when all it does is flash some lights at a certain APM. Unless you're the type of guy who likes flashy things, just get something practical. Saves money and gets the job done.


dude how can you blame the mouse for getting grimy? I would like to point out that since the sides are plastic they are more durable to actual wear and are MUCH easier to clean off WHEN the grime builds up. On my old Microsoft Intellimouse the side material wore away and kept causing me problems.

And it cracks me up how you guys are all Razer product experts after having one bad experience.

I use the Mamba with the Destructor mouse pad and really like it. The mouse does charge while you have it plugged in but I find that I only get about 12-14 hours of constant use before the battery dies

Tracking and performance are incredible in my opinion but I've never had any other gaming mice to compare to. Price was not an issue for me.

so i just read the destructor wears down very easily since it is plastic.

i dont want it to wear down or smoothen out after 6 weeks since i paid 40+ dollars for this mousemat.

if this is truly the case im probably gonna return it but wtf isnt that gonna be the case for all mouse mats?

i used a cloth one for years and the edges strayed out but that was it except the performance compared to the destructor is horrible

Ive been using the MX5XX for years, first the 510 and now two 518's. Even on high DPI, with a good gaming surface, such as the hard surfaces from steelseries, the 518 is accurate. I have never had trouble with my hard surface pads wearing down, as long as you maintain the teflon feet for your mouse it works fine. I prefer the hard to soft because the mouse just glides better and provides a good optical surface for the reflection.

I recommend the mx518, cheap, good optics, easy to sue (no drivers even to use the on the fly sens adjustment). The only down side is it is a right handed mouse, as it has the form factor going on.

I had a diamondback when they first came out and hated the shape of the mouse. Razer is overpriced imo.

i like the razer spectre because of the customize left mouse button click speed and im high dpi player and because its light weight the rest is just a gimmick for me :D

One thing that I think is often overlooked about higher quality mice is the mouse feet. I have a Deathadder, and on a decent mouse pad it just glides with no resistance. Cheaper mice tend to have gunk build up on the mouse feet or just don't move as smoothly in general.

Regarding the plastic side buttons, yeah, a lot of gunk does build up in them. I end up cleaning the area out once a month or so with a staple or something.

Regarding mouse pads, why do you want a destructor? I really recommend getting a good mouse pad if you're getting an expensive mouse, but I'm not sure why you want a hard mat. I play on 3500 dpi settings on a cloth mat and haven't noticed any performance issues.

Edit -- thanks Semantics for explaining the difference. I don't have a lazer mouse, so that may be why I haven't noticed anything odd.

for lazer mice you should look for a consistently flat surface, cloth mats can cause issues with lazer mice mostly the very thick kind of cloth mats. In other words although optical may like a textured surface which cloth mats provide, lazer mats prefer a nice hadmat.

If u don't need these fancy apm lights, I'd recommend either the Razer Deathadder or the Steelseries Xai, which are (according to reviews) way better mice while also being cheaper at the same time!

I've got a spectre and it looks allright (thats about it). Handles well but the mouse pointer does infact bounce around when you click/double click making it pretty poor for SC2 gameplay.
