Good Hardware Bad Software

This is my first Razer product and I've always known that first impressions count. It's clear that Razer doesn't share the same mentality. What I like about the mouse itself: - Smooth scrolling - Satisfying tactile clicks - Slightly rough texture (I personally don't like smoothness) - Macro DPI cycling What I don't like about the mouse itself: - Right click is a bit harsh, a bit catchy with the ring finger Why can't I recommend this mouse; i love this mouse My first Razer product and I was blown away by how good it is. I installed the software to change my macro and it turned out that the software couldn't work without an internet connection and a Razer account. After a little research, it turns out that the software is being used as a spyware. Previously, their privacy policy was based on the principle "We use a keylogger and see which websites you visit for advertising purposes". Not much has changed, they still use their software to "make marketing more relevant". Instead of making money by selling a good product with tons of features. They make a good product and sell your data to make even more money. Some people I don't think will see this as a big problem. Well, you should probably know that. Even when it was fully whitelisted by my firewall, the program still didn't work. I guess it's because that it uses a non-traditional Internet connection method, commonly used by malware. My firewall is provided by Avast, so this theory makes sense, although I'll have to contact Avast to confirm. If you're looking for an exceptional mouse, it doesn't matter what software is in the background. This is for you, you just need to know that you agree to sell your data. This trend must be stopped. that you agree to sell your data. This trend must be stopped. that you agree to sell your data. This trend must be stopped.
