Microsoft and Razer Join Forces To Make Habu, the Ultimate Gaming Mouse

Electronics giant Microsoft and peripheral-maker Razer have just officially announced their team-up’s newest product. Microsoft Habu is designed to make PC gaming experience even better.

You have to admit, whether you’re playing an RTS, an FPS, an MMORPG, or even a simple flash game, a good mouse is always a fun thing to have. After all, sometimes, a good mouse is the only thing that keeps you from levelling down in an MMORPG, or from turning into Zerg-food in a good ol’ game of Starcraft.

The oddly-named Habu is due to be released in October of this year and currently boasts of the following features:

• Interchangeable Side Button Panels provide gamers with two options for different hand sizes or preferences.
• 2,000 DPI Laser Engine, Powered by Razer Precision, delivers super-fast response time.
• On-the-fly DPI lets players adjust DPI for controlled sensitivity.
• Always-On(TM) Mode Pioneered by Razer gives gamers virtually no latency.
• High-speed motion detection lets gamers get their speed on with movement of up to 45 inches per second and 20G acceleration.
• Seven programmable buttons with Hyperesponse allow gamers to program their button functions; Razer’s Hyperesponse technology reduces latency.
• On-board profile memory enables gamers to store up to five game control profiles on the mouse.
• Ultra-slick Teflon feet let gamers enjoy smooth and quiet gliding.
• Ergonomic design features GlowPipe(TM) side rails and large, rubber-coated buttons.
• Thin, flexible wire provides gamers with the speed of a wired mouse with the feel of a wireless device.

In the meantime, we would all still have to wait and see whether a matching keyboard will also be developed, as well as how this device fares (literally) under the hands of expert gamers.
