Review: After months, I will finally review this thing... - I was very hesitant to review this product. I had a horrible experience with the original death adder. Let me start this review with a bit of history. I bought the original death adder back in 2007. After putting my hand on this mouse at the local brick and mortar, I fell in love. I am a palm mouser, and I wear large/xlarge gloves. So my hands are on the larger size. This mouse is probably the most comfortable mouse I've EVER tried...and trust me, I've tried a TON of mice. The shape steals a lot from the intellimouse from microsoft, but it is somehow a lot more comfortable. So given how much I loved how this mouse felt in my hand, I never thought that razer would fail me in the quality control department. After a couple of weeks, the original Death Adder started squeaking. So much so that it was unbearable. After about 1 month of moderate use, the mouse completely failed me. It stopped working. I took it apart thinking it may be something simple. Nope, it just stopped working. Needless to say, I was heartbroken. This amazing piece of ergonomic supremacy was just a broken shell of a product. The innards were shoddy. Since then, having vowed to never get another razer product, I've tried hundreds of mice. Well, not quite hundreds, but quite a few. And all along, I was longing for the comfort of resting my hands on the death adder. Okay, I'm being a little bit melodramatic, but truly...there is no other mouse in the market that quite feels as good as the death adder, PERIOD. Whether you use the claw technique or the palm technique, the death adder is the perfect intersection of comfort, shape, weight and performance. So this is why I have been so hesitant to review this product. I've never had issues with how good this product felt in my hand, or how well this mouse performs with pinpoint accuracy. My only problem was its durability. When I heard that Razer was creating a remix version of the original adder, I broke my vow to never buy anything razer again and bought the 3500dpi version. I have now owned this version of the mouse for going on close to a year. The mouse wheel has yet to squeak. The mouse is still working. So if you had a similar experience with either the HABU(the microsoft version) or the original Death Adder as I, then I can safely tell you to throw that trepidation out the window. Buy this mouse. I will never get back the $80 or so I paid for this mouse's predecessor, but I can safely say they fixed all the quality/durability issues. This is still the most comfortable mouse you'll ever hold. Its ergonomics is unrivaled. The appearance is GORGEOUS, if you are into that. The new and improved 3500 dpi is fantastic. And I do not regret taking the plunge into a 2nd generation Death Adder. I waited a long time to review this product because I didn't want to steer you into purchasing a product with shoddy durability. Because I waited, I can safely tell you that this product appears to be built to last. The product after close to a year is still working like the first day I got it. My hand has never ached using it, and I am very happy to give it the FULL five stars. Enjoy this fantastic product with its improved durability!!! I know you will be very happy with this mouse; I know I am!!!
Review: Price, Quality, and Performance gaming mouse. - I've purchased and used a Razer Diamondback and Razer Copperhead in the past. The Diamondback being the better mouse and essentially the same as the Copperhead. Although the Copperhead does provide a bit more sensitivity and slightly more options and technology. The Deathadder is probably the best gaming mouse I've used by far. It's a palm-rest mouse so gamers that "claw" will find this mouse frustrating to use. Like others have said, the Deathadder is a mouse for large-sized handed people. So if you have small or medium sized hands, it will most likely be uncomfortable for you. For me, it fits perfectly in my hand because I have long fingers. Making it extremely ergonomic for me. The shape and convex fits perfectly in my palm, hand, and fingers. The two side thumb buttons take some getting use to. My thumb seems to be too long or extended to reach back to the first thumb button. Good thing for me, I don't use it so no cramps for me. :P The scroll-button is perfect. Clicks down perfectly making the clicking noise and you feel it clicking down. It feels just right. There are 3 feet pads under the mouse, providing perfect gliding on any mousepad. I use a generic black mouse pad I purchased from Staples store so if you're using a gaming pad, you'll have even better experience with it. Several reviews have stated that the glossy black part on the sides aren't good when your hands start getting sweaty and they collect "gunk." This has been true for all Razer mouses in the past. It's a design choice that Razer made and continues to use. It gives the mouse a nice look. Also, my hands for some reason get really sweaty with this mouse, a lot more than with my Razer Copperhead. I don't know if it's the palm-rest shape (similar to Logitech G500 series). Although it may not look like a Logitech 500 series mouse, the palm-rest shape is there when you grip it in your hand. Like I said, it fits nicely for me though. It doesn't feel like it's a hunchback mouse, that forces you to claw it instead. The blue lights on the mouse scroll button and Razer logo in the center are subtle. Not blinding. But the Razer log blue led light does pulsate slowly. I haven't messed with it and I don't know if you could turn it off or not. I like it so I left them on. The cabling is rubberized. Which is a good thing! I hate the corded mouses like the G9/G9x because they cause friction against the edge of the desk and it's really irritating. Whether you're looking to spend $50 or a $100, look no further. Save yourself the extra $50 for a $100 and just buy the Deathadder. You won't regret it. I'd also like to note that my kill death ratio has gone up in games like Battlefield Bad Company 2. My hand hasn't cramped up or felt any kind of pain using it. Very ergonomic.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ FREAKIN AWESOME MOUSE!!!!
*by C***K on April 8, 2010*

First of all, this mouse is insane. The design is beautiful. It looks amazing just sitting on my desk. The blue pulsing razor logo on the back of the mouse adds a touch of life to what would otherwise be a boring mouse. It peaks the interest of all who walk by my desk. The cable isn't plastic on the exterior, instead, a black fabric coating allows the cable to roam freely without marking my desk or getting dirty itself. The speed of the mouse is incredible! I only use it to about 3/4 of its full potential but the option to have that extra is a nice feature. I use this mouse on dual 24" monitors, and the ease of travel with the slick feet razer puts on their mice makes for a nice glide when using the mouse. I purchased this mouse also due to its compatibility with mac osx. When razer originally came out with it's proclick v1.6 I purchased one. I have now been using that mouse for 6 years and it was time for an upgrade as the coating was completely worn through to the hard plastic underneath. Understand that this mouse is HUGE! In a good way. I have a smaller hand and can use the death adder very comfortably, I also have seen my friends with large hands use it smoothly as well. It's a palm mouse rather than a finger tip (as the pro click 1.6 was). If you don't know the difference, look it up on razer's site because it helps to understand the difference before choosing. It was, for me, an easy transition. ALL of the buttons on this mouse are functional and I use every one of them daily due to the custom programming allowed by razer. I could go on with other amazing features! However, to cut to the chase, my only major gripe with this mouse is software compatibility. Unfortunately, razer hasn't come out with the driver for Snow Leopard yet and thus the new driver on their site does not work properly with the mouse. A little google'ing and i found a past driver that fit like a glove. I'm sure this driver issue will be resolved, however, it was a pain and thus the 4/5 instead of the 5/5. Best feature of this mouse is the on-the-fly sensitivity... no need to open a program to change the speed, just click the side button on the mouse (custom programmed) and scroll up for down to change the speed. This is amazing when transitioning from a web-environment into photoshop and back! So easy and so helpful. Overall, I am really happy with this mouse.
