Specs
Question Ranking
Pros
Pro 7ft braided cable
Like all Razer products the cable is braided on the Taipan.
Pro Has both laser and optical sensors
The Razer Taipan has a dual sensor system, being able to utilize an optical and laser sensor at the same time.
Pro Two pairs of programmable side buttons
Being that the mouse is ambidextrous there are two sets of side buttons for either hand.
Pro Nonslip textured finish
Instead of a glossy finish that gets sweaty or a rubberized finish that picks up oil over time, the Taipan has a nice hard textured surface that's perfect.
Pro Ambidextrous
The Razer Taipan is designed to be an ambidextrous mouse.
Pro Comes with good driver software that allows for more tweaking
Like the rest of Razers equipment the Taipan utilizes the Synapse software to customize the mouse even further.
Pro Quick access CPI switch
The Razer Taipan has on the fly CPI switching with two buttons that are behind the scroll wheel.
Pro Textured thumb rest
There is a textured thumb rest on the left side giving the user an area for their thumb to rest while also providing more grip for moving the mouse.
Pro Sniper button
The included sniper button will instantly decrease the mouses sensitivity while pressed in, giving the player an advantage accurately placing the cursor where it needs to be such as in headshots in an FPS.
Pro Aluminum housing
The M60 features a solid aluminum body at its core for a superior build quality.
Pro 8 programmable buttons
There are 8 fully programmable buttons on the mouse. This includes a 'sniper button' next to the thumb, which by default toggles a shifted DPI to allow for more accurate sniping while gaming.
Pro Adjustable weight and center of gravity
There are 3 removable weights in a triangle formation, allowing you to change not only the weight, but also the center of gravity.
Cons
Con Side buttons can irritate ring finger
The ambidextrous extra buttons on the side may rub against the ring or pinkie fingers.
Con Braided cable
The braided cable is stiff and may catch on the mouse pad on a regular basis.
Con Too light
The 3 weights and aluminum frame are just not heavy enough. If they were to add a weighted sled for more weight instead of 3 plugs, they could make it comfortable for a wider range of people. Satisfying both users who like light or heavy mice.
Con Finnish rubs off
The rubberized texture comes off the thumb rest and ring finger side around 2 months in. The slick plastic underneath is not a sure grip when moving around in game. Considering this is a gaming class mouse you would think they would use a textured finished material not a coating.
Con Laser sensor
The included Avago ADNS-9500 laser sensor is going to have trouble with acceleration.
Con Poor middle mouse button fail
Middle mouse button click stopped working reliably after about 2 months of negligible gaming.
