The Imperator is a halfway house between basic and full gaming mouse. Considering the cost, we'd suggest you look to the competition for better features. We look forward to seeing if Razer's newer 2012 edition will be a more compelling offer once it arrives.Read more
Of all of Razer’s mice, I’m surprised that the Imperator was chosen as the model to headline one of EA’s biggest games this year, Mass Effect 3. I may have had my problems with the game, but I played through the majority of the game, and dozens of hours of multiplayer, with the Imperator. And as good as this mouse is, I can’t help but wonder why a more popular, or perhaps a bolder and more fully-featured mouse wasn’t chosen […]Read more

The Imperator is Razer's latest gaming mouse, and it may be their best—oddly, because it feels like a mouse from an entirely different company.

Razer Imperator 2012 Expert Dual Sensor Gaming Mouse Review | Page 5 of 6 | eTeknix

Razer have tried to create one of the best mice possible with the Imperator 2012. They have incorporated two sensors in what they call the 4G Dual Sensor System which gives a very impressive 6,400 DPI and should allow it to track on any surface due to the combination of an Optical and Laser Sensor. You may have already heard of the Razer Imperator, as the name has been around for some time, originally in the form of a 3.5G sensor mouse with a DPI of 5,600. This has as such been super seeded by this newer 4G 2012 Imperator
