Introduction

The new Microsoft Habu mouse is the first result of the cooperation between Microsoft and Razer. Microsoft has always produced some high quality mice which can be used for gaming as well as the everyday desktop jobs. With the Habu, Microsoft has moved on and released their very first "Gaming" mouse. The Habu itself is a mixture of Microsoft ergonomics and Razer's Laser sensor.

Razer has always been known to produce some of the best mice and sensors on the market. They established their reputation with the Razer Diamondback series mice, which are some of the best performing mice aimed at medium to high sensitivity gamers. Razer's slogan has always been "For Gamers. By Gamers". It says it all in my opinion.

Let's see how this mix-mouse performs.

The Package

The Microsoft Habu comes in a very flashy cardboard box. On the box you can read about the various features the mouse sports.


Of course the mouse comes with a driver CD and a "quick start" manual. As with any new Razer mice, the Habu comes with a spare set of Teflon feet which comes in handy if you are so unlucky as to ruin the original feet.
