Question 1

with the synapse 2.0 does it allow you to customize the color or are you stuck with green?

Accepted Answer

You are locked into green as a color.  You can, however, control whether or not you want the scroll wheel and logo lit independently and you may also control if you want your mouse lighting to turn off when your computer screen is off.

I am not super familiar with other Razer products, but my experience has been that whatever color it comes in is the color you must use.  They aren't like Alienware or SteelSeries where you can often dynamically choose backlight color.

Question 2

I'm right-handed, and drape my ring and pinky fingers over the right side of the mouse, and tighten the grip to move the mouse sometimes. Will the buttons on that side be in the way, or will I be accidentally pressing them a lot?

Accepted Answer

The buttons are more forward than they look. I am right handed as well and grip the same as you. Never once have I hit those buttons. After having used this mouse for nearly two years I can assure you that (at least for me) this is my favorite mouse. It's great for all kinds of grips, it's just heavy enough, and the buttons and sensors are still pumping away. It's a very sturdy, well made  mouse for far below what some of the newer ones cost. It is my favorite mouse to date.

Question 3

As an ambidextrous mouse with buttons on both sides, do the buttons on the non-dominant side get in the way while gaming?

Accepted Answer

It completely depends on your natural mouse grip.  I, personally, tend to use a modified "claw" where I use my thumb and pinky on both sides of a mouse to stabilize.  In some situations I have accidentally hit the right side buttons, but VERY rarely.  It is still one of the best (if not THE best) mice I have used for Counter-Strike which should be considered high praise.

Question 4

How many inches long and wide is this mouse?

Accepted Answer

About 5" long and not quit 2 1/2" wide
