While doing a little Christmas shopping online the other day I across some interesting StarCraft 2 products that I was unaware of. Being that I'm a very average amateur player I'm always looking for new advantages that could potentially help my game. I'm currently using a wireless (I know) logitech revolution mouse that's in need of an upgrade. I'm looking for a mouse that was built well and has some weight to it.
I found this mouse on Amazon which I had never seen in a store: Razer Spectre StarCraft II Gaming Mouse

I'd like everyone's honest opinion of this mouse before I buy it. It looks pretty cool and must have been licensed by Blizzard for them to have been able to put the StarCraft II logo on it.

got money to waste -> buy it
trying to save some money for other stuff -> don't buy it.
Pretty simple.
|
The shape looks quite awkward to hold, but that's just from looking at the picture.
Other than that, it has APM Technology ^^
|
I bought this a month ago and I freakin' love it. Amazon had the best price and it seems they still do.
|
No different, if not worse than other cheaper alternatives. For example try the Logitech MX518, extremely cheap considering other options and a proven mouse which professionals and non use. But no mouse will make you a better player, except in your case as wireless mouse's suck :p

What exactly is APM technology?
I know what APM is, but how does it work in a mouse?

It's something that Razer thought of and is mentioning often in promotion of their SC2 hardware, but it is mocked regularly on TL since it's fairly pointless. Basically, the lights on the mouse change color depending on your APM. So red color for low APM and green for high, or something like that.

There are already quite a few threads on this, you might want to check them out:
Yeah I saw them but they were mostly about all Razor products. I'm just specifically interested in this one.

it's a terrible mouse with APM lights, that's about it. If you want a good mouse, get the razer death adder.

Caution though, the deathadder might be a little too big for starcraft. I own a razer salmosa and deathadder, both are extremely comfy but the salmosa is much smaller/lighter and just feels so much better when playing RTS games.
The deathadder has the two extra side buttons which I really love for everything else, though. I don't own an abyssus, but from what I hear, they're a newer version of salmosa, except a little bigger.

Its a waste man, go buy a Razer Deathadder. This mouse is gonna be way more comfortable than the "official Starcraft 2 mouse." Same with keyboards. When do you ever see a progamer with one of those funky "gaming" keyboards

It shines a LOT i mean it can blind you. believe me you will see it.
Well This mouse looks everrated by Razer, I dont find it SOOOO EPIC.
Its for finger grips / claw grips what is nice for me but 5600 DPI it way to much for RTS. and it looks like crap i mean when my GF come to my place and see this i would have troubles to explaining whats going on. go for Razer Abyssus if you like the shape
|
Just buy a normal mouse slap a sc2 sticker on it and call it super apm lighting fast mega flash mouse.
Mouse wont make you any better, buy it for the looks if you want but dont expect a big improvement.
|
Seriously dont make polls like this, it's soo pointless. What you want is real intel from people that have used the mouse.
There is VERY few that's even held it, yet used it. Just saying, so dont take your poll as some kind of truth, since it'll just give you a opinion of what people _Feel_ when they look at the mouse and its specs.
If you are unsure, wait a few weeks, check up on reviews on different sites (like this one) and youtube reviews. There is usually something useful to extract atleast
