Razer DeathAdder

We love the shape of this mouse—it's comfortable for even the longest session—and the DeathAdder just gets better from there. The sensor delivers pixel-perfect accuracy, and we love that the driver lets us adjust everything from X and Y sensitivity to...

Pixel-perfect sensor, uber-comfortable design, and sexy matte finish kick serious ass

No on-the-fly detents in for precision sensitivity adjustments

Our only complaint is that the DeathAdder offers too much granular control for quick in-game sensitivity adjustment. Instead of dedicated sensitivity switching buttons that toggle between two or three settings, you must bind one of the mouse’s five...

Razer DeathAdder

The Razer DeathAdder is a fairly straight-forward, no-nonsense gaming mouse with just five buttons and a cool blue glowing mouse wheel. It's a gaming mouse that covers the basics quite well without a lot of fancy extras. It's not quite as feature-rich...

Great shape and feel; accurate tracking; extremely comfortable

DPI switching is done through software; driver issues

If you're a gamer and want a comfortable mouse, the DeathAdder will serve you well...

Razer DeathAdder

If you're unfamiliar with Razer's mice, the company has dedicated itself to creating the perfect gaming input device. The DeathAdder comes with all of Razer's familiar touches. The rubberized coating on the top surface of the mouse prevents excessive...

The Razer DeathAdder gaming mouse has high accuracy and includes excellent customization software, and two responsive thumb-side buttons (righties only)

No Vista driver despite claim of support on the box; no dedicated button for cycling through DPI settings on the fly

Razer's DeathAdder gaming mouse is a powerful accessory for fans of 3D shooters and others who might demand a high degree of customizability in their mice. We wish that Razer had delivered on its promise of Vista support out of the box, but aside from...

Razer DeathAdder 2013 Gaming Mouse

Razer has made a good product better with the new DeathAdder 2013 gaming mouse, model RZ01-00840100-R3U1. Maintaining it's famous ergonomic design, Razer has upgraded the optical laser to a more sensitive one as well as added rubber side grips. Many...

Simplistic, good looking device ; Performs superbly in games, especially shooters ; Premium, durable look and feel ; Software is straight-forward and simple to use ; Very comfortable and ergonomic

Similarly priced devices include many more features than the DA ; Could've used a couple more programmable buttons ; Lacks on-board storage

The DeathAdder 2013 will not disappoint it's user in terms of performance. It is uncannily precise and will almost certainly improve the experience of even the best gamers. The product performs exceptionally well in FPS environments where accuracy is a...

Razer Transformers 3 Razer DeathAdder Megatron Gaming Mouse Review

The Transformers Collector's Edition for the Razer DeathAdder includes Megatron, Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, and Shockwave. This mouse is definitely one of their more well-known ones and I can't wait to see what comes inside. So, for now let's take a...

Razer DeathAdder Left Handed Mouse - Bjorn3D.com

It is kind of funny to see the word “Ultimate” being associated with a budget graphic card. Manufacturer's often try to put a nice sounding name on a product to attract consumers to spend a bit of extra money. If they can make them feel that the...

Finally there is a gaming mouse, that converts my South Claw into a South Paw.

Razer DeathAdder Left-Hand Edition Review

DeadAdder Left-Hand Edition is a great gaming mouse bugged with dpi changing issues.

However, as well as the dpi switching worked, it would hang the mouse for a slight second before shifting to different dpi setting. It’s like my old Peugeot tug-tagging to a higher gear and it’s automatic! It certainly is not an issue but in defining...

Razer DeathAdder 3500 DPI Gaming Mouse

In the past, I have compared some of the best mice in the industry to Razer's DeathAdder. No matter the competition, the DeathAdder always holds its own. Recently Razer decided to give the DeathAdder a slight renovation with a 3500DPI sensor update....

The original DeathAdder was a long time favorite of mine, I was both concerned and excited about this updated version coming out. After spending some time with the new DeathAdder my concerns are now gone. In fact, now I'm even more excited. As always...

Razer DeathAdder Review

Today we look at a gaming mouse, from gamer-friendly company Razer. The DeathAdder recently had an upgrade, and we'll take it through the paces to see what it is all about.

So now we've looked at everything except for the big, important question: Just how was the mouse in action?

Razer DeathAdder 3500dpi mouse review

Razer sent Icrontic an updated version of the venerable DeathAdder gaming mouse. All they changed was the cord and the sensor; is it a compelling upgrade?
