DeathAdder Elite Gaming Mouse: 16,000 DPI Optical Sensor - Chroma RGB Lighting - 7 Programmable Buttons - Mechanical Switches - Rubber Side Grips - Matte Black

I had been using a Deathadder 3.5G for about six years so my opinions are mostly going to be based around the comparison between the two (for anyone thinking of upgrading). As far as I have heard, the Deathadder 2013 was the first iteration to change the texture of the mouse's plastic and added rubber grips where your thumb and pinky finger would rest. I believe every version older than that was made up a rubberized plastic on the top and glossy plastic on the sides and mouse 4/5. While the ergonomics have not really changed (that's a good thing) the biggest improvement is that the entire mouse now has the textured plastic rather than the slick and glossy plastic finish on the sides of the pre-2013 Deathadders. As for the mouse, in general, it is extremely comfortable to use although it does feel a tad bit long (which is the only problem I have with the Deathadder mice). I use this mouse on a Razer Vespula pad and find there is not much room to move vertically with length of the mouse as it is without the back of it hitting the wrist rest. Not too much of a problem seeing as how most people won't need to move their mouse too much but if you plan on utilizing the lower DPI settings, you may want to use this mouse on a larger pad or surface area so you don't have to keep picking your mouse up to adjust it so that it doesn't go off of your pad. A small complaint, but something to be aware of if you use a small pad. I don't have the biggest hands. I would say mine are on the higher end of small to about medium size but this mouse fits my hand perfectly although my ring and pinky finger tend to cramp up after hours of use. This likely won't be an issue for anyone that doesn't use their mouse almost all day every day and it is likely just my own problem but I think it's important I recognize even the slightest things about a product you will spend about 60-70 dollars on. The lighting is par for the course with Razer products. I don't see any issue with any off colors in the lighting although that shouldn't matter too much seeing as how your hand will cover all lighting on the mouse anyway when you use it. Each mouse button feels good to the press. My right click has a noticeably softer right click, although it still has a nice tactile feedback. Left click feels much more "clicky" in comparison to the more mushy clicking sound of the right click. The scroll wheel has a nice bumpy feel to it and has nice grip. Clicking it does not feel as though you need to really push down hard to click it but has enough resistance to not accidentally click. Overall, this is a great mouse in comparison to the older Deathadder mice. While you will likely never utilize the insane 16,000 DPI (not sure why companies keep trying to raise the DPI any further than 4,000 or 5,000 since most gamers will usually stay below 2400) and the sensitivity changing buttons below the scroll wheel are rarely used (by me) but those remain out of the way and you hardly notice they are there most of the time, although if you were to use them, it may be a bit uncomfortable to have to adjust your grip and curl your finger in considerably to hit them. This mouse feels incredible to use and the placement of each button makes sense. You shouldn't have to use the sensitivity buttons constantly and the mouse 4 and 5 are large, easy to press and have a nice texture. If you are thinking of getting this mouse, I don't see any serious reason to decide against this choice unless you are tight on cash. Update: After about two months with this mouse, I found the grip on the thumb rest came loose, likely from me gripping it tightly and it sliding off over time. It's strange to think it would come off that easily but I thought I'd try and just fix it myself by putting super glue under it to hold it for sure. I screwed that up though and the grip seemed to suddenly be too big to fit in the space it was meant for so I had to buy a new one since it would have been void for warranty. I'm not sure if the adhesive is really bad or I just fiddled with it too much on my previous one but I wouldn't suggest keeping a very tight grip on it to ensure the grip stays on longer.

Last week the middle mouse button on my Corsair M65 finally gave out after months of poor functionality, and I was compelled to buy a new mouse. On Amazon, I looked at reviews for a Logitech Mouse, a similar Corsair, and the Death Adder. At the time, I liked my Corsair very much and probably would have bought another one if it hadn't been for a few reviews stating that the middle mouse button was effectively prone to failure. So I went with the Death Adder despite some otherwise glowing reviews of the Corsair, and a higher price tag. The first thing I noticed about the Death Adder was how light it is. The box itself felt feather light. The next, how large; it really is a big mouse. The cord, too, is light but supple, an improvement over the thicker, stiffer Corsair's. When I plugged it in, the Razer logo was set to "breathing." After downloading Synapse, the Razer software app, I changed the lighting to "static" and lowered the brightness to its dimmest setting. My Death Adder now emits a dim green glow that is not over powering. The Corsair's lighting effects were so aggressive I'd turned them off long ago. After getting into a game to check out the mouse feel, I realized I didn't like the default lack of acceleration. Many gamers think acceleration is entirely bad, but in my experience a touch of acceleration is a good thing (for an example of awful acceleration software, use a mouse on a Macintosh computer). So I went into Synapse and landed on a DPI of 1800, with acceleration at "2" out of 10. With those settings I was very happy with the mouse performance, and am using it like that a few days later without complaint. After I'd calibrated the mouse to my liking I decided to plug in the Corsair to see how they compared. At the time, I expected no big difference. I thought, if someone were to ask me about which mouse to buy, I wouldn't have a strong opinion. A mouse is a mouse. The Corsair is heavier, so if you want a heavy mouse, avoid the lighter Death Adder.... Wow, was I wrong. Even after trying to tweak the Corsair settings (which were less robust, with seemingly no way to adjust acceleration), I could not get it to feel as zippy and responsive as the Death Adder. The heaviness of the mouse was oppressive, whereas the lightness of the Death Adder made it slightly addictive and fun to use. Now, I find myself holding the Death Adder and mousing around for no reason but the pleasure of it. The only thing I'm on the fence about with this mouse is the size. It really is a big mouse, with a pronounced arch. I think I've gotten used to it, though. This is coming from a really big guy who can almost palm a basketball. So if you have small hands you may not like this mouse, though it most certainly is worth giving a shot. Another thing I'd like to touch on is the aesthetics. I think this is a really cool looking mouse, though some may find it tacky. It's a fun gaming mouse design with a really neat logo that glows dim green (as per my setting). I find myself glancing over at it a lot, and I think it's cool. One thing this experience has reminded me of is how important it is to invest in quality products. I got into a game of Borderlands 2 the other day, and I couldn't believe how great it felt. It's because of the mouse. Don't cheat yourself by using cheap stuff if you can afford otherwise.

Gut und Günstig !

Para mí, la versión anterior era el mejor ratón del mercado, preciso y muy ergonómico. Con esta nueva versión, lo han empeorado. Estoy muy decepcionada. Le han puesto unas gomas de agarre en los laterales que hacen el agarre más complejo. Lleva varias texturas y te vuelves loc@ para encontrar los botones. Además el ratón se rompe enseguida. Duran.. 3 años? Lo uso bastante, supongo que tendrán una vida en horas. Pero, para el precio que tiene 60-70€, pienso que se rompe demasiado rápido ( doble click, botones rotos, botones que clicas y no van). Creo que después de ¿10 años? usando razer... me cambiaré a otra marca, por ejemplo un Zowie con el mismo agarre y la superficie LISA!!

Great mouse been using it for 3 months love the scroll wheel and the feel of the mouse in my hand, (does take a bit to get used too). It has the 2 buttons behind the scroll wheel for adjusting dpi (or whatever you like) the scroll wheel texture and the better dpi tracker thingy (dont really know what it is). Those are the 3 main differences between this and and deathadder chroma, do be warned my buddy has a deathadder chroma and i tried it and it had a similar feeling at least for me. There is definetly a difference its just very suttle. This is basically the better brother of the deathadder chroma. The deathadder chroma and the elite have the exact same lighting the basic static breathing reactive etc, that you see. It has no wave so it cant sync up with your razer keyboard pretty big bummer cause I thought it did. (if you dont have the razer keyboard no biggy) All the chroma lighting is controlled through the razer synapse software you'll find the chroma there. The mouses dpi is also controlled though there if you dont use the other 2 buttons behind the scroll wheel. It supports up to 16,000 dpi [honestly no reason to go over 5000] the mouse has 5 default presets 800 (pain fully slow :just dont use it, unless you like your mouse extremely slow) 1800 (Basic speed :normal browsing web speed for me maybe gaming for some of you guys) 4500 (Probably the highest you want to go with this mouse: extremely fast for most, took me quite a long time to get used to playing league with this) 9000 (I.. if your high on a day use this) 1600 [MAX] (Litrally nobody uses this l... , you move your mouse 2 inches and its on the other side of the screen:Don't f#$king use it) Or ignore all that and make your own dpi and even change the presets if you like razer is all about that customization life OH YEAH!! Anyways I would recommend this mouse for anyone whos used previous high end gaming mice and need an upgrade. Or if you got some money and wanna treat yourself. Honestly if you dont care about the chroma just get the regular deathadder that was my previous mouse before this I picked this up becausr my old one was getting warn out and I wanted it to match with my keyboard. If you want this to match with your keyboard with the fancy ripples and waves get the lancehead that mouse has those features. I wouldn't have gotten this mouse if I knew about that. DO YOUR RESEARCH KIDS! For a gaming mouse with decent chroma lighting Id give it a 10/10 and its not from ign, its from me.

as someone who games alot i feel this mouse is brilliant for the price, ive bought two after my first one did give up after 6 years of constant use.

Nel complesso e un ottimo maus, un po caro ma ci sta.. P. S. Ottimo e robusto alle TILTATE 😁
