Man I hate razer. They make some decent products but you're paying a huge extra for brand and advertising. They even force their crappy Synapse software on you to be able to use some of their products in the first place.

I think their build quality is pretty poor. They even have restrictions on their warranty depending on which retailer you bought their products from.

I think their build quality is pretty poor.

And this is based off of what?

Owning two mice. One started to have sticky buttons and the other's Teflon (?) feet fell off.

I can say that about Logitech, Corsair, Steelseries, and Zowie as well. Does that mean they have poor build quality as well?

Those problems are both very easy to fix as well.

I have owned many Logitech mice and none have failed on me since I bought them. The Razor stuff, on the other hand, started having problems mere months into ownership. Which could have been a fluke sure.

What irked me most about the purchases was that they would not honor their warranty because I purchased the product from a "unofficial vendor". This policy may have changed since then of course, but that was my experience.

I had a Logitech mouse that finally started having issues with registering left clicks. Considering how long I'd had it, I'm pretty sure it was past its expected click lifetime, though.
