ItвЂ™s still strange that a Teflon ring be placed directly under the sensor, as these feet often gather dust around its edgesвЂ¦ but no matter, just clean it off every now and then. This problem can probably be fixed by simply removing the Teflon pad or by regular cleaning. As this builds up, it can interfere with tracking, often resulting in either jerky movement or вЂ“ as happened to me a couple times, the cursor will only move in one axis. If you zoom in on the picture above, youвЂ™ll notice that a fair bit of dust has gathered around the inside of disc. Around the sensor there is a small Teflon disc, possibly to help minimise friction, but it does come at a price. This is something that only shows itself after a fair bit of use. There is one final problem regarding tracking. If you prefer low DPI and like to make big sweeping movements with your arm with frequent lifting, then this is very important to bare in mind. If you have the DPI set fairly high though, then this becomes a non-issue, as you will rarely need to lift the mouse.

It can technically be fixed in future driver revisions, but so far, months after initial release, still no patch. This issue affects most mice that use this particular sensor, including the Razer Imperator.

Yes, mice only detect X and Y based movement, but when the mouse is picked up and placed back down again (Z axis), this can and often does result in a diagonal shift of the cursor on-screen вЂ“ down and right each time. 7 and 9, has a well-known and documented problem regarding Z-axis shifting. The Phillips dual laser sensor used in the R.A.T. When it comes to the laser sensor, there are a few considerations to make. Dropping the DPI is actually a little bit stiffer than increasing not to mention louder (the click) for some reason. There is a small lip on the back of it to give you something to pull on. The DPI switch behind the scroll wheel is not a single button, but actually rocks back and forward. It would be nice if it defaulted to horizontal scrolling, but itвЂ™s simple enough to program. ItвЂ™s solid metal with a very low activation threshold, so it can be spun quite easily.

Like the sniper button, it has no function at all without the drivers installed, but when it is, itвЂ™s just as flexible as any of the other button since it can be programmed. However, the thumb scroll is a joy to use. Couple this with the high sensitivity, a bit of jitter will occur as you try to use it, putting you a fair bit off target with the scope as you engage the sniper mode. The button itself is very firm and requires a fair bit of effort to press. In practice however, there is a bit of a problem. In theory, this can be an invaluable feature, as itвЂ™s use can be extended beyond games and into graphic design, for example, allowing for extreme precision at the touch of a button.

My guess would be that this is a software based option, since the button does not function without the drivers and software installed. It doesnвЂ™t give you direct access to a fixed DPI mode, but instead shows a percent reduction of the current DPI level. This sniping button can be configured via software to control how precise the aiming mode becomes. The little red button on the thumb rest is a temporary, low sensitivity mode which is only active while pressed, so if said back-stabber does come running, you donвЂ™t need to risk a fumble hitting the wrong button to bump up the DPI after a head-hunting spree. Sometimes this drop in DPI can be a problem when you need to quickly drop scope and pull a 180 to fend off an evil and quite literal back-stabber.

Gamers often dropped the sensitivity during these precision moments, such as sniping, so they have finer control over aim. The problem with these very high sensitivity mice is performing extremely precise actions, since even the slightest movement becomes amplified.
