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

Sleek looking mouse with a braided cord & many different color options to choose from. Easy to connect and definitely a durable mouse. This is my second mouse I'm purchasing after having the first one for over 6 years and I just love the simplicity of some of these razer products.

I've only had this mouse for about 3 weeks but it's already the best mouse I've ever bought. I've had a few cheap ones before that had a big problem here and there so I decided to invest in a pricier one and I'm glad it has paid off so far.The only problem I have with this mouse is that it's wired. I'm obviously nitpicking at this point because if you buy a wired mouse you should be prepared to deal with the wire. I will say though that it is relieving to be able to play without the fear of your mouse dying or losing connection like with wireless mice.You are able to use the razer software to change the color of the mouse and also play around with the different lighting effects. I've had a lot of fun with this. I originally had the light stay red to match my laptop's red backlit keyboard, but now I find that having the mouse constantly changing colors all the time is pretty neat too.I had a problem with accidentally pressing the two buttons on the side but since you can just disable them with the software, that isn't a problem anymore. I also found it neat that you can customize your DPI to any number you want. I'm not a serious gamer so I don't need my DPI to be constantly changing for different games or anything, so I just keep mine at 1600 all the time. But for those that are serious about DPI, you can change the settings so that the five DPI levels can be whatever you want them to be.Compared to other gaming mice, this mouse is on the bigger side. I've only had a few but this is the biggest one I've ever had. But even though my hands are smaller than the average man's, I've had no problem getting used to it. It doesn't feel weird at all.TL;DR this mouse is great and easily customizable. If you are dissatisfied with your mouse and thinking about investing in an expensive mouse that will last you a while, you can't go wrong with this one.UPDATE: updating this review in 2023, I forgot I had written a review all the way back in 2019. I still use this mouse all the time whenever I game and it has served me well this whole time.

first i want to start with looks and feel and than ill move on to performance.if yo were to go out and buy a cheap mouse at the store for 10-20 bucks that is about what this mouse feels like in your hand and that is about what it looks like too. it just feels and looks like your average mouse if you turn off the decorative lights. its ergonomic and comfortable in my hands, from the tip of my middle finger to my wrist my hand is almost almost exactly 7 inches long and its just about the right size, if my hands were any smaller it might be a little on the large size as far as the length of the mouse goes, but over all its a nice comfortable fit and feel.my only complaint about the functionality in my hand would be the buttons on the side of the mouse, my thumb rest right on the rear button and if i want to press front side button i need to kind of lift my hand up off the mouse and move my hand forward move my whole hand forward to reach it. maybe i have a short thumb. if i palm grip the mouse and move my whole hand forward this is not a issue, i can get to both buttons easily like that but that is a awkward feel for me when gaming. i like to claw/palm type grip with my hand back further on the mouse so i may not be holding it the mouse the way its designed to be held making it hard to get to that button. besides that no other complaints.i have been playing my First person shooter games with this mouse and it preforms very well, i have no problem lining up the sights on my target, its very accurate and the pointer goes exactly where i tell it to go. all of the buttons and the wheel work great on this mouse, it seems like a great mouse over all and its kind of a light weight mouse which i like, if you like a heavy mouse or you have really small hands those are the only reason i think your average person would dislike this mouse.but bottom line this death adder is just a average feeling comfortable mouse with a very accurate sensor and its got some lights on it that make it look nice. so far its a great gaming mouse that does not break the banki have had some logitech and R.A.T gaming mice in the past. this does not feel as well built as the others and its lighter weight, i actually think i like the lighter weight but as long as its durable and last a while i think this is a great mouse.
