Specifications
For a product that was developed as quickly as the Habu, I wouldn’t expect anything on the specifications side to be groundbreaking or even new. Taking a look at the specs for the Habu, we see that the numbers are identical to those of the Razer Copperhead. The specs also appear to be those of the Agilent ADNS-6018 laser engine, an updated model of the ADNS-6010 used in Logitech’s G5 and G7 mice. Here are Habu's specifications organized in a neat feature-based format that I stole from the Microsoft product page.

    Customizable Buttons - Two removable side button panels give you options for different hand sizes or preferences and all seven buttons are programmable—-storing up to five profiles in mouse memory.

    High Speed Sensitivity Switching - Adjust mouse sensitivity on the fly — up to 2000 DPI – for controlled sensitivity. The default is 800 DPI, but is adjustable from 400, 800, 1600 to 2000 DPI with the toggle buttons.

    High-speed motion detection - Gamers get their speed on with movements up to 45-inches per second, 20-G acceleration and more than 7080 frames per second.

    16 bit Data Path and 1000 Hz Ultrapolling - Habu™ has a 16 bit data path for increased bandwidth with high-sensitivity mouse activity. Increased data path improves response time.

    Superior Response Time - With an always-on laser that delivers near-zero-lag response time.

    Mouse Glide - Habu™ has ultra-slick Teflon® to provide smooth and quiet gliding.

    Ergonomic Design - A right handed comfort design allows slip-resistant grip with rubber-coated buttons for improved comfort for long hours of gaming.

    Wired Mouse - Wired for faster performance.
