Razer DeathAdder Essential Gaming Mouse: 6400 DPI Optical Sensor - 5 Programmable Buttons - Mechanical Switches - Rubber Side Grips - Classic Black

This Razer DeathAdder has become my new go-to mouse! The wired connection is fast and reliable with no batteries to worry about. The size is perfect and incredibly comfortable for my hand and weighs nearly nothing! What I really love is how it glides and how solid the clicks feel - the mechanical switches have a satisfying, precise response. The 6400 DPI optical sensor tracks smoothly and the 5 programmable buttons are handy for gaming or productivity, which to be honest, I rarely use such advanced functionality, it's there when I want it. The rubber side grips add extra comfort. Excellent mouse at a great price!

So far I've bought 3 of these (for different computers - all work fine). If you have big hands, this mouse is perfect - bigger than most, and well-contoured. It's NOT especially lightweight - with is a big plus to me. The layout is perfect and the customization software is excellent. I often use "scroll wheel click" but I don't want to actually click the scroll wheel because it can... scroll... so I programmed the side buttons to also function as scroll wheel click, and that's perfect. Its settings are customizable in all respects, very extensively. I turned off the light so it looks at home in an office setting. Sensitivity/scroll speed is also completely customizable. Even if you don't need all the customization, if you want something bigger than usual, you'll like it. It's the only mouse I've found that ticks all these boxes, fits my hand perfectly, and is still very reasonably priced and a great value (seems to fluctuate between $18~25).

First one lasted about 4 years. It still worked but the left click started to become far too easy to depress. So I was accidently clicking a lot. So I bought a second one. For $20 I will keep rebuying this mouse every 4 years for as long as they offer it. Great mouse, easy to click buttons on the side, great ergonomics, and not too flashy. Responsiveness is great (although its wired so its just as good as any other wired mouse) and the wheel rolls very smoothly and as very subtle notches it clicks into so you don't over scroll when you are trying to me specific. The wheel is also larger than mice I have had in the past so it is easier to click when needed. I don't really care about the RBG but if that is your thing it is not too bright that it distracts, but it is plenty bright to be flashy if that is your goal. It's heavy enough it doesn't move if your knee knocks the desk, yet light enough that I don't notice it when using it. Amazon says to mention connectivity in the review, but its a wired mouse, its plug and play. It is USB-A. Not USB-C I only made this review because I was surprised to see it for only $20. I think it was $39.99 when I got my first one.

I've owned several Razer mice, none preowned: a DeathAdder 3500 back in 2010 that lasted ~7 years before it started clicking on its own, a Mamba Elite (wired) in 2021 that had just outlasted its warranty when the scroll wheel malfunctioned, and this white DeathAdder Essential, which lasted 13 months before having the same scroll wheel malfunction. Of the three, I like the design of this one more than the others. Visually, it's sleek, simple, and nearly symmetrical -- only as asymmetrical as is necessary to be ergonomic. In contrast to the black with green light, the white with white light is very pretty without standing out glaringly as a gaming mouse. Also, the inevitable buildup of gunk is visible enough on the white to know when you've fully cleaned it, but somehow less nasty looking than on a black mouse, in my opinion. Aside from the eventual malfunction (which I'll address in a moment), all of the aspects of functionality are perfectly satisfying to me. More serious gamers explain that better than I can. The volume of the clicks and scrolls is pleasant and within a normal range. For $20, this is an EXTREMELY good mouse. Others have described the scroll wheel malfunction, but in short, during a scroll the input is interrupted by movement in the opposite direction. Scrolling downward, it will jitter upward in the middle of the scroll, and visa versa. For office use and games where scrolling controls camera zoom, it's just an annoyance. For games where scrolling selects items on a toolbar, it's an actual problem. With the Mamba Elite, I had not known about the issue when I bought it, so I was very frustrated and disappointed, and stubbornly avoided getting a new mouse for quite some time. The malfunction got worse and worse over time. However, I bought this DeathAdder Essential fully informed and expecting to have this problem, with the logic that getting to use this mouse for only 6 months or a year is still worth $20 to me. I saw that folks had this scroll wheel issue as early as 6 months into use; for me, it just started this morning, 13 months into use. I came back to this page immediately to order another one. It feels bizarre to treat a Razer mouse as disposable when the ones I previously owned had been so incredibly expensive at the time, but $20 is $20. When the new one arrives, the old one will travel with me for office use on my laptop. Unless you need a mouse that will last for several years and/or you can't stomach throwing an electronic in the trash when it dies a premature death, I strongly recommend this mouse.

My old mouse was cracking and it was ready to be replaced. This one has extra programmable buttons for when I play online games. It's white because I want it to matchy match my keyboard. The quality is good and the mouse is precise. It's a good quality mouse for the price.

Awesome mouse! I've been using a G502 hero for a long time, didn't need the extra buttons. this one has 2 thumb buttons and everything else is standard layout. The wheel is better, I don't play hardcore FPS or RTS so $20 for a comfortable, responsive and accurate mouse is a great deal.

Thank you for this, its very high quality and performance is great but its reasonably priced because it doesn't have all the features I never used anyway.

Great mouse for the price smooth and very light and responsive

I know there are a lot of gaming mouse in the market but this is the best cheapest gaming mouse for me. I understand that there are cheaper gaming mouse available in the market but they are just not good enough. Razer is a good brand and I would never go any cheaper than this one. The weight is enough for me and it functions really well when paired with a Razer mouse pad. This is my 2nd unit, my first one broke for about 4 years of good use. If you are in the market for cheap with good quality gaming mouse, you need to try this one.

Not so good on clothes, always have to use solid space and mouse pad. Thanks pretty fast. Thanks Amazon

Superbe souris Super design, article conforme Je recommande!

I work in a call center. I was going to return this mouse until I brought it to work one day. Now, I bring this mouse to work with me at home, in the office, everywhere! It works perfect, smooth, short cut to toggle back and forth between pages for research. Great tool, no pain, no regrets!!!!
