    I needed a new mouse, because my old Razer mouse (saw a whole lot of use) was registering double clicks when it shouldn't have. When I opened the box, I have to be honest that it felt a bit more cheaply made than my previous one. It was priced at a very low budget point, so I can't be too angry about that; it's understandable. Despite that worry, it's been in use for multiple months at this point and works great.

    Razer DeathAdder Essential – Pure Gaming Power The Razer DeathAdder Essential is an absolute beast for its price. The ergonomic design feels perfect in my hand, letting me game for hours without discomfort. Its 6400 DPI optical sensor is insanely precise, giving me pinpoint accuracy in every match. Clicks are crisp, movement is smooth, and Razer Synapse makes customization effortless. Add the subtle green lighting and rock-solid build, and it’s everything a gamer needs. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – Fast, comfortable, and deadly accurate. This mouse takes your gaming to the next level!

    The first one I had purchased had a defective scroll wheel, but it was within the return window and I was able to get a replacement. It has been a while since receiving the replacement and it works great so the previous mouse was clearly just a defect. It is comfortable and designed to fit your hand around it. The clicking is also not incredibly loud, though not entirely quiet.

    It's a decent mouse but it's a little big, so you might have some trouble fitting it on your mousepad.
