My Review 

This is a great gaming mouse which works well with the OS built-in mouse functions or USB Overdrive, if you don't want to use the mouse software. Unfortunately, Razer has discontinued making it, I believe. I bought a few extra, because I use them with all of my relatively new Macs (last 10 years or so), and I have found that the lifespan with constant use is about 3 years.

The Krait is small enough to be comfortable for someone with small hands (like many women), has 2 large comfortable buttons and side grips, plus a clickable scroll wheel. It is a wired USB optical mouse. The only thing that I sometimes find irritating is that the side grips and the scroll wheel light up when the computer is on, which sometimes reflects in the screen, but it is handy for reminding me when I forgot to shut down and my Mac is just sleeping.

Do you prefer wired or wireless mice? 

Wired.

Why did you replace the stock Apple mouse? 

Didn't like it.

Would you recommend this to a friend? 

Yes
