Finally razer have released the deathadder mac drivers and they are excellent.
The gui looks exactly the same as the windows drivers which should be a help for people who are used to razer's stylish, slick interfaces.

One thing which seems to be annoying with OS X is the way the mouse always seems to have acceleration. I had to enable acceleration on 1 in the drivers to get good movement back in the mouse.
Before these drivers I had tried steermouse and other applications, but none really made the mouse respond in the right way.

The movement on OS X is greatly enhanced with the changing of the dpi and frequency. 1800dpi @ 1000hz is a vast improvement.

Previous to this mouse I was using the Razer Diamondback with the Razer Pro|Click drivers (as they seem to be the same mouse, even down to having the same hardware ID's).

After getting my new monitor, the mouse speed was unbearable with mouse accel disabled. So I thought I'd have a look at editing the preferences manually.

The Drivers only seem to go up to mouse sensitivity 10. So I opened up the plist file and changed the values to 15 and it seems more responsive. Still not the same as windows as OSX seems to use a totally different algorithm, but it's a lot more usable.

All I did was open up /Users/username/Library/Preferences/com.razer.PRO.plist with Plistedit Pro (you could probably do it in Textedit). Just change the values for MasterSensitivityX, MasterSensitivityX & Sensitivity (I changed mine to 15, but I guess it's down to personal preference).
Then set the file to locked so when the driver deamon starts up it doesn't overwrite your custom values.

I've written a review on the monitor, showing pictures of the viewing angles and the colour vibrance.

Overall this monitor is amazing value for money.
It looks stunning with its piano black finish and its stylish silver buttons. The viewing angles, colour reproduction and response time is excellent.
The connectivity is OK and at least features HDCP compatibility which is an added bonus, altho should really be the standard in the future. Also given the resolution, you can connect an Xbox360, HD DVD/Blu-ray player or a PS3 and run them on 1080i without any problems as the monitor stretches the image perfectly.

I've just recieved a new monitor. I've been looking for ages and was mainly looking at 22" panels, but was put off as they are £160 for a decent one and all of them are TN panels. So when 24" screens started appearing for £200 I was amazed and excited as they are 1080 HD compliant aswell as having MVA panels.
I nearly ordered one from OcUK but after reading the panels they were selling weren't HDCP compatible I decided not to. Then the next time I looked into their monitors it seemed they suddenly were getting bad TN panels.

Next thing I decided to do was look around the net and I found out that the best information was on a german forum. They were talking about a monitor which looked the same, but was not DGM but Yuraku. This screen had a MVA panel and was also HDCP compatible. Also there were reports that this was the original screen and that the DGM's were in fact copies with various panels.

The more I read, the more I was convinced these were good screens. Then I found 2 companies in the UK were selling them. Aria and Misco. After hearing bad things about Aria in the past and also noticing they have a dead pixel check I decided Misco were the people to order from, as almost certainly if I ordered from aria without paying for the dead pixel check I would get a monitor with dead or lazy pixels.

So I ordered and it came today. So far I am amazed with it.
The viewing angles are excellent and the colours are actually better than my old Samsung SM-913N.

The panel used in these monitors is the same as in monitors which are selling for £450+ (Acer AL2423W , BenQ FP241VW, BenQ FP241W, LG L246WP).
