I couldn't find the original thread discussing it, but just wanted to make an update. I've got UPS shipping confirmation on my replacement PAX 2008 Collector's Edition Razer DeathAdder mouse.

If you bought one of these limited edition mice, you were probably a little irritated that the mousewheel LED was not functional. The PAX logo glows properly, but the mousewheel just sits there, darkened like the dead eyes of a zombie.

Even though the mouse is otherwise functional, it was disappointing to pay a little extra for a limited edition mouse and find it cosmetically gimped. Fortunately, Razer was quick to promise replacement, even if they kept disclaiming it with "your mouse still functions, you know". It has taken some time, but they kept their word and are now delivering replacements "for RMA use only" (which I assume means you'll need to send back the other mouse in the box they send you the new one in).

If you haven't done so already, fill out the form here (http://www.razersupport.com/pax-deathadder/) to request a replacement. You'll be asked a few questions, including the mouse serial number (conveniently located on the underside of the mouse).

Damn! I was hoping they'd let us keep the original as a goodwill gesture.

Yeah. They'll have to clean my gamer grease out of the cracks if they want to reuse my old one ;)

Also... love your avatar, man. "No time for the ol' in-out, love. I've just come to read the meter!"

I've owned the OG Boomslang and I use a Diamond Back now (chameleon green). Such awesome mice. They mate up very well with ratpadz btw.

Ah, that's the problem. The old thread is on the old website :)

Long live the new thread!

I just got my shipping confirmation yesterday.

Bone... Are we the only ones that fell for the hype and "the heat of the moment"?

It's possible that this thread was only for us, and could have been better served with a PM. I could have sworn a couple more people got suckered :)

Really though, I was already looking into Razer mice and this one wasn't marked up that much more to get a nice glowy PAX logo. As mice go, I'm pretty happy with this one. Glad you got your confirmation too, Buddha!

I had a Logitech MX518 that was getting old; retail price was about the same as the PAX LE.

...And my son talked me into it.

He thought I was buying it for him... Yeah, Right! :p
