Customers are satisfied with the Taipan Expert Gaming Mouse for its comfort, gaming enhancement, and programmable buttons on both sides. The mouse is also praised for its ambidextrous design, affordable price, sensitivity, fast and smooth performance, and accuracy.
Great mouse for casual gaming and normal desktop and internet use. Smooth operation making it easy to control the mouse. The setup was really easy just plug and play. The mouse has side buttons on the thumb side which are easy to reach, only two buttons but this is not advertised as an MMORPG mouse. The setup is the same on the other side of the mouse in case you want to use your left hand. I am left handed however I use the mouse in my right hand. The length is not bad it is somewhat narrow though. I am six foot three inches with large hands so I actually went into the store to try this mouse out first because I have purchased products in the past that ended up being really just too small for my hands. Over all good mouse has plenty of options for the gamer great for FPS games adjustable DPi is easy to use. I can recommend this mouse.

So I just got my Razer Taipan mouse specifically for gaming. I was using a Logitech G100 before & wow what a difference between the 2! The Taipan feels much better in my hand (I'm a fingertip gripper), has a much higher level of DPI, & 5 more programmable buttons. The weight of this mouse feels just right for me, & most importantly it is very responsive. Huge improvement from an optical mouse! It definitely has improved my gaming experience with games that only allow KB/M controls. The 4 side buttons (2 on either side) help tremendously with games that have a high number of inputs. Also lessens the burden on my KB hand in such games which is huge for me since I have carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands. All in all I think this a great gaming mouse that most people will find very comfortable to use for long gaming sessions. The size of the mouse seems like it would suit smaller & larger hands just fine. It's not huge like some gaming mice but is not a small mouse either. I will say that this mouse is more geared toward use with FPS, Action/Adventure, & RTS games. If you are looking for a mouse to use for MMOs you would be better suited with a Razer Naga or other model with many side buttons. Now that I have had some time to use the mouse I am definitely glad I just bit the bullet & got this mouse. I was considering some cheaper alternatives. The quality & performance of this mouse lets me know I made the right decision. All the buttons & scroll wheel feel very solid, the body of the mouse feels well put together & solid, & the cord has a braided fabric sheathing with a gold plated USB connector. You can actually feel the quality compared to other budget gaming mice! All in all this a great gaming mouse for moderate to hardcore gamers who put their peripherals through the paces. It will last much longer than any budget gaming mouse out there. I know many people who swear by Razer products & have been using the same Razer mouse or KB for years. They simply make great products that stand up to the abuse heavy gaming sessions put on KBs & mice. If you're looking for a quality gaming mouse & willing to spend the money for one I recommend a Razer mouse that suits your gaming needs.

This is the second Razer Taipan I bought, needless to say I'm very happy with this mouse. Works great in any game you want to play, feels good in your hand for either claw or finger grip. Just adjust the dpi setting to whatever you like and you're ready to go. This mouse never let me down!
