It so much better that the original Deathadder. The feeling is like a Xai but the top is slightly smoother/slipperier.
Agreed.Originally Posted by EpicPie;12223309
So tempted to buy since it wont have the glossy sides. I like the glowing logo on my 3.5G though.
The scrollwheel feels the same; probably just a change of colour. The texture of the DA is close to the Xai. Smoother and less rubberly than the Xai's texture.Originally Posted by GoTMaXPoWeR;12221129
It'll take more convincing than that to make me move back to my DA after having this G500.
Still, looks brilliant. I'm not a fan of the texture that they have on the top of the DA's, it scratches and gets dirty too easily. The scrollwheel looks like it's been improved.
The top is plastic. Feels really smooth. Cant describe how good it feels.Originally Posted by Ickz;12221334
Looks awesome, can't wait for mine to come. Is the top plastic or does it still have a rubbery texture?
Also, when I first looked at your pics I thought, "Why the hell did they put a signature on the side of the mouse like that??". Then I derped.
I forgot to mention that I'm in Singapore. Razer Singapore deliver via a private courier company. Got in 2-daysOriginally Posted by NitrousX;12224597
Nice! How fast did it get to your house? Was it a 3 day UPS ship?
Nice.Originally Posted by mattlafleur;12249281
Just got mine, got pushed back a day due to the snow.
sorry for the ****ty cell phone pic, can't find the charger for my camera.
Snip
The lift off is higher on the KAI.g3. I'm not sure if that is because it is red.Originally Posted by Skylit;12249431
Nice.
Do you know the Lift off Distance with that KAI.G3 by any chance?
Edit:
Just revived mine and I'm honestly in LOVE with the coating used on top of the shell. It's pretty similar to the Xai/Kinzu but feels slightly more plasticy.
The sensor works perfectly fine and doesn't produce any apparent jitter or flaws. I would love to open this up to check if they switched the sensor (hopefully an Avago 3090?), but I rather wait for my replacement feet to get here first.
Oh and to those that are wondering, this utilizes it's own firmware. V1.00 just like the drivers
Like the standard 3.5G, the feet are slightly too thin and the body digs into the surface. I'm also not too fond of the scroll wheel, but it's defiantly better than what I'm used to (IE: 1.1/3.0)
Overall I am VERY pleased with the Razer product. I honestly wish that they at least attempt to pump out more products without stupid glossy plastics and LEDs, but this is indeed a good start.
Pros:
-Sensor
-Body/coating
Cons:
- Scroll wheel
- Mouse feet too thin/bottom shell defect.
- High lift off distance on dark mousepads.
We must know.Originally Posted by Skylit;12249431

There is not really a reason to use the "rebranded S3888" and I'm pretty sure they would advertise that.Originally Posted by Skylit;12249431

You don't have CDs/DVDs around?Originally Posted by mattlafleur;12251853
I'm getting about 5mm (I don't have a setup that will keep the mouse totally level to measure with)
Sorry to hear that they still refuse to fix the dragging problem. I happened on the 3G, the 3.5G and now the black edition. How hard is it to fix the mold or put some thicker mouse feet? Many of their customers including myself have complained to them about it for the last year or so but I guess it doesn't matter to them.Originally Posted by Skylit;12249431

Most likely not, but I'm kinda annoyed that this mouse still uses the standard 3G/3.5G glossy base shell on the bottom/front of the mouse. I know for a fact I wouldn't be able to put up with the regular models due to this gulk flaw that apparently only happens on razer mice.Originally Posted by Derp;12256916

That's true, but I find it kind of silly that people are still bashing the 3.5G (S3888 DA) and praise the 3G (S3668 DA) even though both sensors have had thier fair share of problems and now operate correctly without a single flaw or glitch besides maybe the lift off issues noticeable on both mice. Now unless there's a serious quality control issue, that shouldn't be the case. I think it's just people holding on to what others are saying.Originally Posted by Bullveyr;12255845
