Razer DeathAdder Elite Gaming Mouse: 16,000 DPI

Last week the middle mouse button on my Corsair M65 finally gave out after months of poor functionality, and I was compelled to buy a new mouse. On Amazon, I looked at reviews for a Logitech Mouse, a similar Corsair, and the Death Adder. At the time, I liked my Corsair very much and probably would have bought another one if it hadn’t been for a few reviews stating that the middle mouse button was effectively prone to failure. So I went with the Death Adder despite some otherwise glowing reviews of the Corsair, and a higher price tag.

The first thing I noticed about the Death Adder was how light it is. The box itself felt feather light. The next, how large; it really is a big mouse. The cord, too, is light but supple, an improvement over the thicker, stiffer Corsair’s. When I plugged it in, the Razer logo was set to “breathing.” After downloading Synapse, the Razer software app, I changed the lighting to “static” and lowered the brightness to its dimmest setting. My Death Adder now emits a dim green glow that is not over powering. The Corsair’s lighting effects were so aggressive I’d turned them off long ago.

After getting into a game to check out the mouse feel, I realized I didn’t like the default lack of acceleration. Many gamers think acceleration is entirely bad, but in my experience a touch of acceleration is a good thing (for an example of awful acceleration software, use a mouse on a Macintosh computer). So I went into Synapse and landed on a DPI of 1800, with acceleration at “2” out of 10. With those settings I was very happy with the mouse performance, and am using it like that a few days later without complaint.

After I’d calibrated the mouse to my liking I decided to plug in the Corsair to see how they compared. At the time, I expected no big difference. I thought, if someone were to ask me about which mouse to buy, I wouldn’t have a strong opinion. A mouse is a mouse. The Corsair is heavier, so if you want a heavy mouse, avoid the lighter Death Adder…. Wow, was I wrong. Even after trying to tweak the Corsair settings (which were less robust, with seemingly no way to adjust acceleration), I could not get it to feel as zippy and responsive as the Death Adder. The heaviness of the mouse was oppressive, whereas the lightness of the Death Adder made it slightly addictive and fun to use. Now, I find myself holding the Death Adder and mousing around for no reason but the pleasure of it.

The only thing I’m on the fence about with this mouse is the size. It really is a big mouse, with a pronounced arch. I think I’ve gotten used to it, though. This is coming from a really big guy who can almost palm a basketball. So if you have small hands you may not like this mouse, though it most certainly is worth giving a shot. Another thing I’d like to touch on is the aesthetics. I think this is a really cool looking mouse, though some may find it tacky. It’s a fun gaming mouse design with a really neat logo that glows dim green (as per my setting). I find myself glancing over at it a lot, and I think it’s cool.

One thing this experience has reminded me of is how important it is to invest in quality products. I got into a game of Borderlands 2 the other day, and I couldn’t believe how great it felt. It’s because of the mouse. Don’t cheat yourself by using cheap stuff if you can afford otherwise.

Nel complesso e un ottimo maus, un po caro ma ci sta..
P. S.
Ottimo e robusto alle TILTATE 😁

– I have big hands
– My hands often sweat a lot(Playing games)
– I play League of Legend, Overwatch.
– I didn’t get any money for writing this.

DeathAdder Elite (Been only a week) – Just purchased, I think it’s pretty good. Personally the height is lacking for my hands I think. Imma update soon. I played league with this, and there were lots of mis-clicking moments(eg: misclicked and didn’t aa resulting – missing a kill). Maybe it is because the fact that I have only used for a week. I’ll see.

M7000 (Been a year and a half) – This is the most recent mouse I’ve been using. It’s been a year. legit. good for big hands. Although it’s been really ergonomic mouse, when I used to play 8+ hrs gaming during summer break, my right hand was in pain.

Anker 8200 DPI(Been 2 yrs) – this was great, I personally felt it was somewhat flat, and my hand was in pain sometimes. *My palm was sweating a lot by this mouse somehow.

Twisted Gamer (Been 2 yrs)- Sinister Arch FPS/MMO Ergonomic Gaming Mouse – This was really cheap and was really great quality. Was my laptop mouse(portable).

Gigabyte GM-M6980 Pro-Laser Gaming Mouse – Was good mouse for a while. However, the rubber started to fall apart after a year I think. Mainly, it was so easy to accidentally click middle button, causing dpi changing. Had the worst sweating experience.

CURRENTLY TRYING:

Corsair M65 (just got it) – Clicking buttons somewhat require more force, compared to the G502.

G502 (just got it)- extremely comfortable to click side button(left). I see why people are calling this mouse #1mouse for overwatch. So convenient setting for melee button.

Razer DeathAdder Elite – (previously mentioned)

Conclusion:

Had enough time to pick my favorite.

The deathadder Chroma wasn’t comfortable for me, unfortunately. I think its height was a bit too high for me.

Corsair was really good, but bcz I also play mmorpg/league , which require frequent right clicking, this wasn’t for me. This mouse is definitely specialized as “sniper mouse”, where clicking once(shooting) requires stable, precise clicking.

personally g900 fit my hand perfectly. This was good for both League and Overwatch plays. And my right hand was in rarely sweat.
Naos M7000 is perfect mouse, but can’t play with it unless I have my fan on in front of my hand.

so conclusion: 1st: g900, 2nd: Naos7000, 3rd~#th: rest I don’t know.

Me parece una auténtica estafa este mouse, ha empezado a fallar el click derecho justo recién acabada la garantía, no me lo puedo creer, no lo compréis, es el segundo q compro y el primero también empezó a fallar el click, Y NO ES BARATO, NO VOLVERÉ A COMPRAR NADA DE ESTA MARCA.
