Customer Reviews
Great upgrade from Deathadder
I previously had a Deathadder
1800dpi mouse for a few years, and felt it was time for a upgrade. I
was so used to the deathadder that I thought about getttng a mamba
instead since its the same shell. I looked into the new 3500dpi
deathadder as well, but wanted to go for the full 5600dpi...
Let me
say that this mouse doesn't dissapoint. The ergonomic feel is more
precise than the deathadder, much better than the log*tech line of gamer
mice. The on the fly dpi buttons behind the wheel are a nice upgrade
from the deathadder. The cable is braided and feels much stronger than
that of older razer mice. The main thing that I was worried about was
the smaller side buttons and the slider thing... I use the side buttons
for a lot of games and these, though smaller, are just as easy to get to
as the deathadder's side buttons. The slider is actually very useful
for getting a more customized feel to the mouse. The sensor is very
accurate, Though going full 5600dpi in windows for internet browsing,
ect, is way to fast. I turn mine down to 2000dpi in for normal browsing
and in games crank it up to 5600 in game. I play HL2DM and CSS and
turned in game sens. down from 4.0 to 0.9 to get the same feel as the
1800dpi deathadder.
Overall this mouse is very good and I would
definetly reccomend getting it if ur old deathadder needs to be retired
like mine. 5/5 stars! Another great product from Razer!
Killer Mouse
I am WoW player and spend ~
9-12 hours a day in game. I was looking for a mouse that not only felt
good in my hands but more importantly be able to use it for hours. The
imperator did a Very good job at not only making a great looking mouse
but also make it easy on your hands. If you are like me and are moving
from a low sensitivity to a high one, please give it 2-3 days. I suggest
that you leave the mouse at around 3000DPI and runnin at 1000 Hz. Thats
what I use and it works great. The software that comes with the mouse
is very very nice and just the fact that you can have multiple profiles
and change them right on the mouse is AWESOME. I do use the two buttons
on the mouse that allow you to go up and down DPI. For example when I am
working with images in Photoshop i sometimes like to turn it down when i
want to be VERY exact about what im doing. Anyway...great mouse! If you
like the design it wont disappoint on performance.

Comfort:
Diamondback
4/5
The Diamondback is one of the older ambidextrous models that
Razer offers. The key attribute to it's comfort is it's smaller size. I
am a claw grip user, so even for prolonged use it remained comfortable.
Lachesis
3/5
The Lachesis is one of Razer's current ambidextrous models that
they still offer. It's larger than the Diamondback, but still not as
large as the Boomslang. Comfort is definitely a relative experience for
the user. I personally found the larger size comfortable for short
periods of time, but for prolonged use it caused my hand to cramp. If
you're trying to make use of the extra 2 side buttons, they're in an
unnatural position and quite a strain to reach. They're essentially only
there for left-handed users.
Imperator 5/5
This is the first
ergonomic mouse I've owned. I've used various in the past including the
MS IE3.0 and Logitech MX518. Even for a claw grip user, the ergonomics
takes comfort to an entirely new level. I have yet to experience any
discomfort whatsoever and I've owned the mouse for quite a while now.
The adjustable side buttons make them very easy to dial in to the
perfect position.
Performance:
Diamondback 3G 5/5
I have
never had any issues with this mouse whatsoever. The only reason I
upgraded to the Lachesis is because of a personal need to have the
latest and greatest. It was an impulse buy and more of a want rather
than a need. After a few months of technical issues with the Lachesis I
ended up going back to the Diamondback until I purchased the Imperator.
Lachesis
3/5
While it worked it was great. This mouse was plagued with
issues. The first major issue was the skipping from lift. Razer even
stated that the laser was overly-sensitive and the fix was to remove the
sticker surrounding the laser on the bottom of the mouse. Removing the
sticker helped a lot but it did not rectify the skipping 100%. Due to
the lack of "timely" support is why I completely abandoned the Lachesis.
I have noticed that they finally do have a Windows 7 version of the
drivers and new firmware updates. At the time the skipping made the
mouse unusable for Photoshop/Illustrator and gaming alike. Lift is an
issue that stems from two things, the hardware and the user. I tend to
lift the mouse as I move it, but by only a small amount. Half of the
problem was myself and how I use the mouse. I know others (including
progamers) with the mouse that are happy with theirs. There are new
updates available so I wouldn't discount this mouse entirely if it's
something that will suit your needs.
Imperator 5/5
Personally,
this mouse is flawless. There are several reviews online regarding
cursor shake from rapid clicking. I've tested it, and they are correct.
The cursor does shake from rapid clicking, but this was mainly a
complaint from hardcore fps users who go through these motions
frequently. My needs and uses of the mouse never warrant for clicking of
that speed and force so it's never been an issue. Tracking is super
precise especially when using Photoshop/Illustrator, even when
moving/editting a pixel at a time. One of the most useful features of
this mouse is the ability to dial in your profiles/sensitivity and
change them on the fly. The software is very easy to use and is pretty
straight forward. I use it quite often when switching from general
windows use (3000 dpi) and the occasional Starcraft 2 game (5600 dpi).
The high dpi is nice especially when using a high resolution. It allows
me to access anything on my screen (1900x1200 24" LCD) with only one
stroke of the mouse.
Conclusion:
The Imperator is the best Razer mouse that I've owned to date. Personally I like larger fixed side buttons and would've gone with the Deathadder if it wasn't for the low dpi. People have said the side buttons and the adjustment switch feel cheap. After many months of use, it's definitely held up just fine. Razer support in terms of software may seem to be a bit slow at times, but it's definitely nice that they offer spare teflon feet through their website. I've used the mouse since it's release and the feet are still in great condition, but it's nice to know they're available
