Customers are saying

Customers commend the DeathAdder Essential Wired Optical Gaming Mouse for its overall performance, comfortable feel, and lightweight design, making it a great value for the price. Users appreciate the adjustable sensitivity and DPI, along with the smooth and quick response and the bonus of side buttons. However, some customers have reported issues with the scroll wheel and find the size awkward. A few have also mentioned that the software could use some improvement.

    I generally love these mice and bought another to replace my previous one. Unfortunately, the new one squeaks like CRAZY. Going to attempt a manufacturer replacement, but overall I do feel like this product has received a number of costs savings for the worse. Quality control, obviously is now in question and they replaced the nice braided cable for a cheap, sleek plastic one.

    Great quality and fits right into my hand. Has a very good response and is very sensitive. I would recommend it to anyone that prefers sensitive buttons since just having the weight of your finger over it would trigger the button.

    If you’re looking for something not expensive and looking for a gaming mouse. I would say this is the choice. Great for a first time gamer looking to get a inexpensive mouse but does the trick.

    I think most of gaming mice (mouses) should be wired or have an equal fast response as a wire communication would have. This one: priced right, working just fine and also has a nice look (ergonomic shape). Doing the job properly.

    Going from a small mouse to a regular size one with adjustable DPI is nice. Max dpi is 6400, so it’s more than enough. Only downside, to change dpi you have to use their software each time, as there’s no button to click to change it.
