    I was just wondering if any of you guys know if the original Blue DeathAdder works on OS X.

    I know there's a Mac version of the mouse, the white one, but I can't find it at my local Best Buy.

    I figured I'd ask here since this is the place for accessories and stuff.

    Does anyone have any idea?

    Thanks! :D

    Thanks, I'll be away for another couple of months. I'll just drop by once in a while :D

    How about the software posted for the new mouse? The white Mac one?

    Wonder if you can install that one, but use the original blue one?

    Come to of it, I don't know why I'd need the software.

    I was just looking for a very comfortable mouse with nice accuracy.

    Thanks X, gonna get one this weekend.

    you just have to download the mac driver from razer and have fun with it.

    why would you want a driver? to program keys and change dpi/sensitivities.

    it sucks i bought the lachesis as i was tempted by all the buttons available... turns out now i have 3(out of 9) useless buttons :(

    Aw, that really sucks not being able to use Razer Config. I use heaps of different macros through my Copperhead's custom buttons, I don't know what I'll do without them.
