My Imperator's left click died in under 6 months, sent it back to Razer and recieved a refurbished one, 1 year later the left click occasionally double clicks when I single click. Awesome mouse aside from that. I don't know if the microswitch issues are related to Razer or if that is something different.

i've had mine for over a year, and other than it being a little dirty.. it has been flawless. i have the black edition though.

I'Ve had the same double clicking issues for a while with my older one(not have the 2013 edition), but apparently if you open it up and clean the switches that fixes it. Honestly I love the shape of it so much I'd be willing to deal with those issues even if you tell me no other brand has them. :rolleyes:

No it doesn't? I'm pretty sure the DA is optical.

A mouse is a mouse, doesn't really matter imo if it's optical or laser (depending on the surface that you use it that is). I've had the 2012 DA version for more than a year and it's been splendid. The best mouse I've ever bought hands down. The size was a bit weird at first, but you get used to it and it's good.

A mouse is a mouse? Weird thing to say on a mechanical keyboard forum. :rolleyes:
