Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Razer DeathAdder 3G Infrared Gaming Mouse
Customer Review: perfect mouse for the non-gamer
Summary: 5 Stars
I Don't game.
I got this mouse after seeing a promo on Youtube. It looked like a really good mouse and it looked really cool (I'm 51 and I need all the help I can get) I don't game at all, I have had many cheap mice and my sister was visiting on Christmas and bought me an expensive Logitech mouse because she was disgusted with my current mouse. After using the Logitech I saw what a big difference a good mouse makes.
The first few days with the Death Adder I thought it inferior to the Logitech because the Logitech really fit the hand so much better, and the extreme light weight of the Adder seemed cheap, and seemed way too sensitive; but after changing my grip on the Adder, not resting my hand on it like the ergonomic Logitech, and using my fingers, I found the Adder to be far superior to the Logitech after all. Hands down, this mouse beats the Logitech, and that also is a really good mouse. Just the tinyest, lightest finger movements place the curser with real precision with absolutely no effort.
I wouldn't have thought I would have a strong opinion about a mouse, but it really is a must have. The worth far exceeds the price and it is head and shoulders above and better than my high quality (but slightly cheaper) Logitech
Customer Review: Probably the best palm grip gaming mouse
Summary: 5 Stars
I just bought the Razer DeathAdder, and I must say, i'm very impressed.
Pros:
Very ergonomic feel
Perfect for palm grip (when you put your entire hand on the mouse)
1800 DPI Laser: Yes, I know other mice have 4000 dpi lasers, but most users will feel perfectly comfortable with the mouse's sensitivity
Thumb Buttons: Easy to press, very useful for multiplayer shooter games, I love having my voice chat on my thumb button, much easier than using the keyboard.
Also, the mouse works on just about any smooth surface, actually it seems better to not use a mousepad with it, as the lint accumulates on the Teflon coated feet of the mouse.
Cons:
Sorry lefties, this mouse is not ambidextrous. Try the Razer Lachesis.
Smudges a lot, because of the black plastic. If you want to keep it spotless, wash your hands before use.
Conclusion: The Razer DeathAdder is a very fine piece of gaming hardware. If you are thinking of getting a Lachesis instead, I would recommend this mouse more because it had a more comfortable shape, and honestly, you won't need a 4000 dpi laser. This is probably the best mouse for the palm grip.
Customer Review: It adds death to my kill rate, that's why it called the DeathAdder
Summary: 5 Stars
I first found the Lachesis at a Future Shop and it was on sale for the price of the DeathAdder, I bough the Lachesis first and brought it home, it had some nice features......But the buttons had to be pressed very hard all six that is, the wheel was to small and took more effort to roll(very clicky), and it felt like crap, not comfortable at all, If I had very small hands, or I was a lefty, then maybe I would like it. Not a bad mouse, just not for me.
That day I took it back and swapped it for the DeathAdder, and Thank God I did. It feels fantastic, the, and to be honest, most people do not need anything above 1800dpi, just because the dpi is higher does not mean it's better.
The software it comes with is pretty cool, although I don't know if I'll use it as much as one would think, but it's there in case I do, and cool to show to people that are clueless about PC peripherals, they get blown away.
It's glows blue very nicely, and look great next to my Belkin n52te (that glows too), it's such a great combo.
The DeathAdder is a very solid mouse, the only thing I don't like it the Profile button is on the bottom. Otherwise just awesome overall.
Customer Review: Good job, Razer!

I did a lot of research before purchasing this mouse, and it's as good as they say! This was a giant improvement over my old Logitech. The mouse came shipped with Firmware Ver: 1.21. The driver included on the CD was Driver Ver: 1.03, so I had to uninstall and download the newest one off Razer's site. I just followed the included setup guide and XP recognized it immediately. Everything is working great! The overall comfort of the mouse is very nice, and the blue lights are cool! I would highly recommend it to anyone, gamer or not. The only con I can think of is it's a little pricey. But doesn't it make sense to spend a little more for better comfort and quality? It's something you'll use everyday and you won't regret it!
UPDATE:
I've been using this mouse for about 4 months, and I just noticed today that the glowing Razer logo light broke. The scroll wheel light still works though! I'm not sure how long it has been broken, but it must've been recent. I'm a little sad, but the fact that I really didn't notice tells me it's not that important. The mouse still works great, but I would change my rating and give it 4 stars instead since it's not perfect.
Customer Review: Honest to goodness, this mouse is great
Summary: 5 Stars
I was in the market for a new mouse, and I was hesitant to spend the money for this as well as some of the laser gaming mice currently out. After a bit of research I decided it would be a good idea to go with this mouse and picked one up at a local store. Installation was quick and then I was literally wowed by the precision of this mouse. A footnote - it is a very good idea to have a good mousepad for this, not some plastic one you can pick up at walmart. I am currently using a steelpad 4d and it works great. Before I bought this mouse I had been using mostly standard microsoft optical mice on my gaming pc, and when I started using this mouse, the difference was quite apparent. This mouse is very quick and accurate, but as others described, is remarkably smooth. It's as if it steadies my hand as I play faster. The buttons are all very well placed and have tremendous responsiveness and feel. The mouse itself looks very stylish, the blue razer logo has a pulsating led that just looks awesome. One more thing, the software for this mouse is outstanding. Very easy to use and extremely intuitive and effective. I would buy this mouse again for ANY of my computers let alone a gaming pc.
