Razer DeathAdder

This is a terrible product – No Offence to Razer but after 6 months after having this mouse the scroll wheel started jittering and after 1 year of having it, it just random disconnects and then reconnects.

More bling than substance – First gaming mouse I ever bought. I do like the size and weight of the mouse although the green logo and scroll wheel is not really something I care about. Works fine gaming but can't say it's much better than any other good quality mouse I have used. Your forced to download software to adjust DPI and use other features. I have noticed left clicks… Read more

can register double or not at all sometimes. I paid $25 for the mouse so for that price its good. Just not that impressed with quality.

Avoid anything razer wireless – I would like to start this by saying that Razer make fantastic products. Everything I have right now is Razer and I love it all... apart from one major issue which I recently discovered by accident. That little wireless usb receiver for your mouse cannot be replaced. It is a tiny but very critical piece, and the whole point of buying a wireless… Read more

mouse! Razer know that people will lose or damage it by accident, and they exploit this.

I have been on the phone with Razer a few times now chasing a replacement of one of my wireless mice, and each time I was met with the "no stock" line.. I eventually got the answer and I quote Razer - "Razer do not make any replacement receivers, you will need to buy a new mouse". I was then offered a 15% discount to purchase another mouse...

This is a cheap and nasty marketing tactic which I did not expect from Razer. It is nothing but a let down, and I am very disappointed with their throw away attitude... Especially considering the prices of their products!!!

Other major brands such as Logitech sell these replacement parts for their wireless products because they know it is a an easy thing to lose or damage by accident.

I expected better from Razer.

Greatest mouse – At first, I was sceptic about getting a gaming mouse. I didn't really play on PC much, I was more of a console gamer. I went ahead and bought the DeathAdder Essential, and it's really good. It is excellent for your day to day use + FPS's Show details

Not bad on sale price – I had two of these mice die on me. Not a bad mouse if you pick up on sale price, but there are better options out there for the price.

Very bad design, poor quality – A light, precise, yet poorly designed mouse. I advise anyone NOT to take Razer material, the sliding pads fell from the mouse after 2 days of use (On a Razer mousepad, without making any stress-test) After a month, the side grips fell off the mouse, and were very slippery. The LED software is programmable but very rough, not something to expect from +70$ material. TLDR: A scammy mouse exploiting the "gaming" term to overprice itself. Show details

Quite average, wouldn't buy again – A bit pricey for a mouse but I bought it thinking it might last for years. Should have checked which country it was made unfortunately. The movement is actually OK and has worked well. Problem is the central wheel button stopped working only 3 or 4 months in (scroll works but not click). A work around is to re-assign another button but this is a… Read more

clunky process with a program that has to slowly load and log in every time the computer starts! Daft. In recent days one of the plastic panels on the side has fallen off, seems it wasn't glued properly in manufacture. This thing is a $25 product sold at three times the price. I'll be avoiding this brand.

Great while it lasts ....which is not long at all – I'm not a gamer but I understand the Razer mouse is popular with gamers because of its sensitivity, control and accuracy. I must admit these qualities are apparent for my everyday use and I noticed a palpable difference between this and the "ordinary garden gnome" mouse. Obviously you're paying substantially more for the Razer. The downside… Read more

though, is durability. The "ordinary garden gnome mouse" wins hands down when it comes to longevity.

I have had 5 Razer Death Adders in the space of 6 years....they simply just stop working or are no longer recognised by the system.

It wasn't until another started playing up and I took stock of how many I'd gone through that I have decided to look at an alternative brand.

TERRIBLE MOUSE – Terrible mouse, in a bad way. Although I've been using a Microsoft mouse since ages, so quite terrible mouse, first day using this mouse, the teflon pads ripped off the RAZER mousepad I bought with. I insist on "Razer mousepad", the largest one. I also really mean "First day" when I say it, now the pads are scratching when moving the mouse… Read more

around. Precision is not a criteria when you pay more than 50$ for a mouse, precision is always good above these prices.

Plastic looking, only two buttons for the thumb. I've read reviews speaking about the soft plastic part falling apart, but that's not my case.

100/100 the worst deal I've ever made in my computer buyings history

great mouse, poor quality – i have been using this mouse for several years and it has worked great for tracking but it is at end-of-life and really disappointed in some of the poor quality aspects. pros: - good ergonomic design - great value for quality - rgb settings cons: - the colour is not the same between the scroll and the base despite being set the same in synapse -… Read more

the rubber grip on the side is just glued on and came off after a year or two. - after 2-3 years the tracking has gone funny - requires a mousepad on some surfaces that other laser mouses did not

Long term user – Best gaming mouse that i have ever used. Held up good for 4 years now. Long the build quality and the tracking is really awesome. Would suggest this over any other gaming mouse.

Seriously Good Mouse – I bought the black edition of this mouse in 2013 and still using it today. Didn't really like the flashing lights so it was perfect for me. The rubber grips and coating has begun to wear out due to usage but the buttons and tracking still are good. The mouse just feels great to use. I may be not a serious gamer but I do enjoy a casual FPS now and… Read more

then.

The razer synapse software also makes it easy to import your sensitivity settings to other computers so you don't have to worry about losing your configurations. I imagine most gaming mouses have this functionality too though.

When this mouse eventually stops working, the Razer Deathadder Elite will probably be replacing it.

Do beware of fakes and check model numbers when buying online.

A Gamer's Dream – I just recently purchased the Razer DeathAdder for my Teenage Son (Total Gamer) It has often been regarded as one of the top gaming mice. Razer has focused on incremental upgrades without ever changing what makes the DeathAdder beloved by so many. The mouse preserves the same comfortable and ergonomic design that we know, with a few improvements… Read more

inside and out, most importantly endurance. The Deathadder tracks movement with flawless accuracy, its buttons are large and offer just enough resistance while responding with a satisfying click; its notched scroll wheel feels and works great.

The left and right click buttons feature subtle grooves for your fingers to rest, which not only helps with comfort but also with quick lateral movements. They offer fast actuation times and provide a satisfying click.

lighting system looks nice and isn’t tacky nor it screams gamer. Light comes from the scroll wheel and logo on the back and can be configured to 16.8 million different colors, as well as synchronized with other Razer gear (keyboard, headphones) with Chroma backlighting.

The Razer DeathAdder is an excellent gaming mouse that works phenomenally for day to day work, too.

Totally Recommend buying the Razer Mouse - perfect for any type of Gaming

Great Mouse, Very comfortable – Great Price, the mouse is super easy and comfortable to use constantly, The extra buttons are convenient for gamers needing extra buttons, no need to worry about pressing them accidentally either.

Nice gaming mouse! – I bought this mouse back in 2013. Still working great! Very durable. The decorative lighting isn't too bright and flashy (which is what I kinda prefer) but it still looks nice nonetheless. Sensitivity and DPI is excellent for gaming, obviously. Sensitivity, lighting, button controls and DPI settings can also be adjusted with the Razer Cortex… Read more

program.

Sucks that you need to download the software to do it properly, but its worth it at the end.

The program is user friendly.

It also has two additional buttons on its side which can have custom controls.

Excellent product, good value! Worth getting!

piece of trash – I'd recommend not bothering with the Razer deathadder 3.5 gaming mouse as it moves the right too easy as it's sensitive as however , this problem can be fixed by placing majic tape over the optical sensor located at the base of the gaming mouse

Works perfectly and it just looks great – Well, it has a lot of options to customize it's performance so everyone can adjust it to work better with the game they're playing. It's comfortable to use and looks really cool too. To be honest, the price is worth it, i don't have anything negative to say about this mouse.

Too delicate - for princesses only – Microswitch mounts made for princesses. Lots of people get frustrated in games - make the mice to suit the inevitable mouse slam. Last one I purposely smashed into many pieces against a brick wall so I don't waste my time returning it for another (that "it just fell apart" would probably be a bit hard to believe).

Poor tracking, not a good mouse – This mouse has such poor tracking on so many surfaces compared to all the other mouse I have. Even my $5 Chinese cheapies track much better on my computer desk than this. My desk has a black textured surface designed to be used as a mouse pad, any mouse should be able to track on it properly, but the Deathadder 2013 loses tracking constantly,… Read more

skips and jumps to different places on the screen, just woeful. It might work ok with razer's mouse pads, but I haven't found a single regular surface it works well on. I ended up going back to my logitech VX nano, which has brilliant tracking on the same surface, despite being much older than the razer.

All in all, I am now officially done with razer products, overpriced, poor performance, dodgy firmware (I have the Black Widow Chroma with the wonderful sticky keys firmware bug), buggy software, ridiculously over packaged with huge amounts of plastic. There's just nothing good about razer products compared to the competition.

Don't buy it. Do yourself a favor and buy any other mouse but this – All these positive reviews about it a lie because it feels nice on the hand and looks cool. This mouse forces you to click scroll. If you play any game that has a scroll zoom in option it won't let you because it's ONLY scroll click. Can't just scroll up or down, nah you gotta push down the scroller and move your mouse up or down to scroll. Gives… Read more

you a million different options and settings for scrolling but the normal way. I personally would hand you my DeathAdder mouse for free if I knew you. It's that bad.

Great Mouse – Other People say that this mouse is horrible because its made out of plastic, or they don't use the 2 buttons on the side but they are terribly, TERRIBLY wrong. I've been using the Deathadder 2013 Edition for 1 year now and its just Perfect, it helps me a lot with gaming, e.g Counter Strike, i use the Buttons on the side to use for the mic instead… Read more

of having to press the keyboard. It helps Tremendously. The software (Razer Synapse 2.0) is great for configuring the DPI or whatever you need to do with it, and its stupidly easy to use. The rubber grips on the lower sides don't help so much, but it makes it comfortable while playing. The sensor is really accurate and quick to react. All the buttons work after the many hours of play and fits perfectly in the palm of my hand. I would recommend this Mouse to anyone who is starting to game.

Outright terrible – Flimsy plastic, feels very cheap and build quality is poor. Functionally it's horrible -- the side buttons tend to be unreliable and often don't work, and will also often have an enormous delay when used for DPI switching. The left-click will sometimes randomly double click when I single click, which is absolutely infuriating. A complete rip-off,… Read more

a $5 mouse in a shiny coat of paint.

The only saving grace is in its aesthetic design which is not much to speak of considering it's one of the least important parts on hardware.

Fail – Known issue with Macs that Razer have failed to solve since OS 10.5. Keeps resetting to slowest tracking speed every time you log out. Only seems to affect with Razer DeathAdder. The software that comes with it ur sub-standard and doesn't sole the problem either. SteelSeries are better in every way.

Perfect for a gamers – Great for everyday use and for gaming. I play Starcraft 2 at a high level which requires the absolute precision in the heat of the moment. The 6500 DPI allows me to control perfectly. I hve also owned the previous versions and the 2013 edition with grip does make a difference. Razer mouse is the one thing razer can make well as you can tell the… Read more ·  1

put effort into its simplistic but advanced design. Really good ergonomic design the 2 side buttons i have never used and never will

deathadder 2013 edition review – For the style of gaming that i do, and the ergonomics that i demand from a mouse, the razer deathadder has been the best mouse i have ever used. I have tried many mouses from different brands but found the deathadder to have the most comfortable grip along with precision and a good price as well. I have been using the black edition deathadder… Read more

for around 2 years. i recently upgraded and bought the 2013 edition deathadder and i was very impressed and satisfied with my purchase. I am very happy that razer didnt change the shape or size of the mouse, they just added different textures and grips and also improved the infrared sensor.

The buttons click better, the scroll wheel feels tighter and my most favorite upgrade would have to be the thumb grip they have added under the foward/back buttons. This makes it so much better to do quick movements when playing fps shooter games. I found a significant increase in my game and i would highly reccomend this mouse for anyone who hasnt tried it.

Just to add, this mouse in my opinion is suited for persons with larger hands, who play using palm grip. A good mouse pad is also reccomended to get the most out of the mouse. Same original design but just tweaked for perfection nothing. its a great mouse

An amazing gaming mouse – I've had a Deathadder for a couple of years, and it's the best mouse I have used in my life. Not once have I had any issue whatsoever, which is incredible considering how much I use it, showing that it really is invincible. It is very accurate, quite smooth even on the highest sensitivity settings, and looks amazing. The two thumb buttons probably… Read more

could be slightly better placed but are still very good. The scroll wheel feels great, works very well, and looks very nice as well. The software allows for a lot of customisation, but unfortunately hardware doesn't. It has a great feel, but a bit of change would be nice. My main issue with the mouse is the max sensitivity, although I find that anyone that uses my computer struggles as it is. I would like to be able to set it higher, although it's already great. These two reasons are why I'll be buying an Oeroborus as soon as it comes out. For it's price, I would certainly say that the Deathadder is the best mouse on the market, and very close to the best overall. I have no regrets. Basically everything

Amazing Mouse! – The Razer Death Adder version 2, is probably one of the top 3 mice of all time. It is sleek, ergonomic, looks amazing, one of the most accurate mice ever produced and it made to a very high standard, not tacky at all. I have had 2 of these over the past 3 years, using them for well over 80 hours a week each without a problem :) Very affordable… Read more

mouse, now selling for roughly $60 dollars or cheaper depending if you know where to look online or not ;)

Not a single complaint can be made about this mouse, it is a dream to handle and i will gladly use one forever :) Reliable, cheap for a gaming mouse, extremely accurate, sleek, ergonomic and looks nice

Excellent – excellent mouse, extremely happy with it. If the sides of the mouse could have some lighting that would complete the look but its fine the way it is extremely comfortable, beautiful design, able to save profiles on the mouse, on the fly sensitivity changer
