"...with the needs of Mac OS X gamers in mind."
mac users are gamers?

I don't get what they would change. OH WAIT, lets put on 1 mouse button instead of two... no that cannot be it. I don't get the big change.

Nice! now Mac users have a good mouse that they can use! Love it!

 

[Bytor]

Glad to see this great mouse going to the mac side also. I love mine!!!

 

[Ravenas]

what a marketing ploy...

I've used a 4 year old razed mouse on my mac forever. Furthermore any USB mouse I've ever used hasworked on my mac.

Yea.. I think the white look is the only thing different. I guess since it is being shipped to Apple Stores Razer wanted to make them feel special or something.

what ever will make them more money...

Nice to see Mac getting some flava

 

[erocker]

I'm confused, when I plugged my Razor into a mac, it recognized it and worked fine. What is the difference between a "Mac" mouse and a "non-Mac" mouse?

 

[das müffin mann]

marketing?

 

[Esse]

Wow this is awesome news! Now I can be the best player in Nanosaur!

 

[xstayxtruex]

there are Mac OS X gamers? wtf?

 

[Dangle]

AHAHA now mac users can drag desktop icons to the trash can really fast! WTG MACs!

 

[hat]

LOL, a gaming mouse... for the Mac. Yeah, you really gotta have a cutting edge mouse while playing minesweeper. Who's running Razer these days, Epic Fail Guy? Besides, it's just a mouse... I can't see why in the hell you would need to specifically design a mouse for Mac. Anything should work.

 

[paybackdaman]

hmm...maybe it runs on apple's firewire? not being serious, but it would lead to brighter lights. =/.

In this case, it's got a white light instead of green/red/blue.

The same thing that's different between Mac ram, and non-Mac ram, the name and marketing.

what games on mac os is worth a $50+ mouse?

 

[Wile E]

what games on mac os is worth a $50+ mouse?

id games, EA games, etc. Even COD4 is supposed to release for it. Mac is slowly gaining a little steam in the gaming department.

 

[Cold Storm]

Your right there.. Its been a hard fought battle for mac users to get games. But They are getting it! I still remember playing Unreal and Starcraft on the G3's at my high school... Those where the day!

 

[xu^]

just RMA'd my Deathadder today

bought in September last year and the left mouse button as gone already ,for a mouse that cost me £40/$80 you would think itd last longer than that.NOT happy

But,to be fair to Razer they did sort me out with RMA details via email quickly.

Also, don't forget you can have Windows on Macs now. So even Windows gamers have a reason to want Mac mice now. And Macs really are slowly getting good games.

That being said, this is ridiculous to see it branded as specificallyf or Mac. If you want one that matches a Mac, I'd look no further than the Razer Pro|Click. http://www.razerpro.com//index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=45
