Razer Krait ‘Atomic Red’ Review

Posted by Afiq Feisal on October 11, 2009

I finally got my hands on a Razer mouse! For months I’ve been ogling at the shelves looking at row after row of black boxes with a familiar RAZER in bright green emblazoned across it. I’d ogle at each different model as well. Krait, Salmosa, Copperhead, DeathAdder, Lachesis, the occasional Mamba in a nice transparent display box – wondering which one will get to kiss my mousepad. Having a bit of cash from the recent Eid celebrations, I promptly went to AllIT to purchase that beast. Chose the ‘Atomic Red’ edition because hell, red is a sexy color ;)

Enough with the bullshit, let’s get on the review.

The mouse is powered by Razer Precision 1600dpi Infrared Sensors, which is already fast enough considering this is the lowest-end model. With 1200 APM (Actions Per Minute), it quadruples the APM rate available for non-gaming mouses. Wowwee! It also has an AlwaysOn mode, meaning even after the computer is turned off, the GlowPipe LED side riles still glows Atomic Red!

Look at it's tantalizing red color ;)

The USB connecter is gold-plated, which ensures only the best quality you could pay for.  With 7-foot long non-tangle cord, I’d still feel as free as I was using the Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer 2.0 Wireless desktop mouse I was previously using.  It also has zero-acoustic Ultraslick Teflon feet. Yeah, THAT Teflon. The one on your mom’s frying pan. Non-stick Teflon coating. Ring any bells?

I could go on and on about this mouse! Imagine if I bought their higher end models – I’d write pages.  I highly recommend you this mouse!

Value for Money: 10/10

Performance: 8/10

Appeal: 9/10

Price: RM109.00 +/-
