I've been gaming for a long time and know a ton of gamers and we are always discussing different equipment, Razer wouldn't be the one most consider the "high-end of gaming". 2000 DPI? nothing new, 7 programmable buttons? nothing new Why is it that some people only consider it "new" unless MS slaps its name on it?

Hi i read your comments about the Microsoft +Razor Habu mouse. Which company do you think makes pretty good professional gaming mouse ? You heard of the Steel Series Mouse ? Any opinions on that ? I hear its good, but wanted to concern another fellow gamer too.
