The Perfect Mouse

This has to be the Best mouse I've ever used. The Surface is Super Smooth along with a Perfect Fit and Grip in my hand. The glide is also buttery smooth with pinpoint accuracy. Other reviews have complained about the software but I found it very quick and easy to set up. The RGB just gives it that really Cool Look. This is also Larger than most mice I've used in the past but it has the perfect weight, not too light and not to heavy. It comes with a Cloth Cord that is super long. This Razor Mouse is my Definition to Total Perfection.
Who would have thought I would have gotten this much quality for a mere $25

Overall this has been my favourite mouse ever. It's super responsive and it's easy to chang DPI on the fly when needed. The full RGB options make it really nice to coordinate with my system. My only issue is a slight squeak from the scroll wheel now and then.

Very lightweight and it feels great on my hand. I have small hands and its not a problem at all. The lighting is great and just the right amount, not on your face. You can customize it and also the DPi settings in their software, then you can change the DPI settings on the fly with the top button.

I recently got into gaming and this was my first gaming mouse, customization in terms of buttons and colors are high tier. Isn't too heavy at all and dpi/polling rate customization is fairly simple with Razer Synapse

Bought this on prime dah and my local best buy matched the price.
It feels amazing, especially since ive been on the market for a comfortable mouse for a while now. Ergonomic, responsive and accurate. Like I said, if you grabbed this for $34.99, then you’re winning.

I bought 2 Logitech mice (g903 and g502) and love them. My only problem was that my thumb was just too long to hit both side buttons comfortably. I always had to awkwardly flex my thumb in to hit the inside button or use my inside thumb knuckle. Every time I would go to best buy, I would see Razer's Deathadder Elite mouse on display. The side buttons were in the perfect spot for me. I'll be doing an unboxing video of this mouse on my youtube channel "lil rice muncher gaming." If you're interested please check it out. As for right now, I can just say that this mouse fits my hands so much better and I'm glad finally gave razer a try.

This is definitely a great mouse to use even if you aren't a professional gamer. Great feel and size for big hands. The option to change dpi is also nice!

The Pads on the sides are held on with a tacky gum that comes of easy. Also the side frame is VERY VERY fragile. Mine cracked about 2 months after owning it. Cracked the left side down the middle and a chunk off the bottom. Now Button 4 & 5 will trigger if you squeeze anywhere on the frame.

Comfort over buttons
PROS:
COMFORT - the main selling point for me on this is it feels great. The top has a brushed feeling to it and your hand slides around on it gleefully, as well as preventing it from getting too cold either like some plastic does. The side, where your thumb goes, also has a nice ribbed textured area that is great for grasping with your thumb to control the mouse.
Aesthetics - The snake inspiration is pretty clear to see in the design, as well as the lights on the top. Green is my favorite color though, so I may be a bit biased, but the green really stands out on the black and looks great I think. If lights aren't your thing though, you can turn them off using Razer's software.
DPI - It goes up to 6,400 dpi. If you need more than that, I'm jealous, but I have it currently set at 2,200 and that's plenty for me.
Software - This is actually a huge selling point for me. Of all of the computer peripherals' software out there, Razer has my favorite. In the software, you can: change lighting, dpi, acceleration, polling rate, and liftoff range. The buttons can be customized, so if you would rather your left button be your right button, assign a key to the side buttons etc. It even has an area for detecting your mousepad and calibrating to it.
Good build - Good, but not great. The cord is tethered (like a shoelace) and fairly long and the mouse doesn't feel cheaply made or awkward or anything. But the left button did start to go out after a couple of years so it's not built like a tank or anything either.
Weight - Doesn't weigh very much and is easy to grasp. Not quite so light that you whip it around either.
Neutral:
Not a ton of buttons. There's the scroll wheel which clicks, and two side buttons. However, this could be a pro if a lot of buttons would get in your way.
CON:
Doesn't automatically ship with every PC which would drastically drive it's price down.
Maybe I'm fanboying here, but I really like this mouse. I "claw" my mouse, and it works pretty well for that. I'm also right handed, which is a big help. If you're a lefty, I wouldn't get this unless you can use your right to control the mouse. In that scenario, I would recommend the Taipan. It's got a lot of the same features that makes the DeathAdder fantastic but isn't geared for right-handed people. Happy shopping

Insanely good mouse for the $24.99 price tag

The quality is great, it is a very wide mouse. I have large hands and it is a great fit for me. The software is a little sketchy, cause I dont really need any of those features so I dont use it. But the mouse is extremely comfortable and has great button layout for mouse keys 4 and 5. I do however wish there were holes to make the mouse more breathable. In an intense fight playing games my hand will sweat really bad using the mouse. But I'm use to my old RAT3 mouse that was A) Very Small and B) Had holes in it cause of the strange design. Overall you 100% cannot go wrong with the $25 price tag. You will not be disappointed if you are a casual gamer or looking to upgrade and old mouse.
