![]() ![]() It tracks so precisely, you always hit targets exactly where you need to. The Razer Taipan gaming mouse is outfitted with the most advanced and configurable sensor yet, the all-new 8200dpi 4G laser sensor. Whether you're right-handed or a south-paw use claw, palm or fingertip-grip, this mouse stays firmly in hand and comfortably so for extended periods of gaming. Manufactures description:ĭesigned with extensive feedback from professional gamers, the Razer Taipan's ambidextrous form suits a wide variety of grip styles and hand sizes. It weighs in at 132g grams with the cable and 95g without the cable, has Np weights and is approximately 124 x 63 x 36 mm (LxWxH). The Taipan is considered to be an ambidextrous mouse. This results in a tracking speed of Up to 200ips, and a maximum acceleration of 50g. ![]() With its black-matte finish, silver buttons, and the glowing green backlighting, you cannot go wrong having the Razer Taipan on your desk, for both gaming and non-gaming purposes.ĭo note though that if you have large hands, I would still recommend to get their other gaming mouse model instead.The Taipan by Razer uses a Laser sensor from Avago, specifically the ADNS-S9818, providing a DPI/CPI range of Up to 8200dpi. It provides what most gamers want, an incredible gaming experience with comfort, precision, and style. Razer Taipan is a straight-forward ambidextrous gaming mouse without having too much features which you can probably live without. The mouse is accurate and smooth when I had to travel through the edges of the screen (when doing video editing that requires accurate positioning and lots of clicking+dragging). This gives me a slight enjoyment over playing Left 4 Dead 2 when zooming in and out of a sniper rifle (some gaming mouse that I reviewed in the past had a hard-pressed design and it was frustrating).ĭesktop experience doesn’t disappoint either. The tactile feedback of the buttons are perfect and the middle mouse button is soft, yet firm to press. Razer Taipan is accurate, fast, and smooth when I tested it with Left 4 Dead 2, Battlefield 3 and Bad Company 2. I myself only use about 4300 DPI (assuming sensitivity is set to 1 in-game) but I know friends who use more than that when they are playing COD 3 Modern Warfare. ![]() The fast sensor helps when you are playing online competitive First Person Shooter games, and the support for having a higher DPI is compulsory when you game with multiple monitors. In fact, using the Synapse 2.0 software, you can actually auto-calibrate the mouse to work best on your specific Razer’s mouse pad (I’m using Razer Scarab): Just when you thought that a 5600DPI mouse is an overkill, how about 8200DPI? Razer Taipan is equipped with an 8200dpi 4G Dual Sensor System (laser and optical) for exceptional accuracy and calibration on any surface. Razer Taipan Review – Features and Impressions The cable is also braided for durability with gold plated USB connector. The color can’t be changed in Razer Taipan, though, which makes me wish that I have the new BlackWidow Ultimate version to match (in green). The Razer’s green theme lights the scroll wheel and also the Razer logo. Razer Taipan also has a rubberised thumb grip which makes the experience in using the Razer Taipan even better. The shape is just right, though I’m sure it can be way better if it’s specifically designed for right-handed (or left-handed for that matter). If you own a Razer mouse and think that the size is a little bit too big for you, then Razer Taipan will put a smile on your face. It seems that the Taipan is made for gamers with smaller hands though as I find it to be smaller in size compared to the other Razer mouse I’ve reviewed before ( Lachesis, Imperator, or Original Mamba/ Mamba 2012). The mouse is also comfortable to use, with the right amount of weight feel. Thanks to the ambidextrous design, Razer Taipan can be used left-handed or right-handed (hence, the 2 side buttons on each side). The Taipan has 4 side buttons (2 on each side), the usual left-mid-right buttons, and also 2 extra DPI switcher buttons underneath the scroll wheel – a total of 9 buttons and they are all programmable. Overall, I’m really happy with the material and build quality of the Razer Taipan Razer Taipan comes with high quality matte material with a black finish (goodbye, plastic!) and silver buttons. It seems to be made for those with small hands though. Razer Taipan, their latest gaming mouse (don’t mention the Ouroboros because it’s not available as of yet), comes with a whopping 8200 dpi 4G dual sensor system and an ambidextrous design. Razer Taipan Review – It’s been a while since we had a new Razer gaming mouse (the last Razer mouse I reviewed was actually the new Mamba 2012, which wasn’t exactly new). ![]()
