It’s highly customizable, very quick and very comfortable to use. But I’m not a mouse guy, and this didn’t change my mind. It came very close, though, and if you’re a lefty gamer, or just looking for a decent, comfortable left-handed mouse, this does the job admirably.

A powerful accessory for fans of 3D shooters and others who might demand a high degree of customizability in their mice. We wish that Razer had delivered on its promise of Vista support out of the box, but aside from that and a few other issues, the DeathAdder performs exceptionally well.

All in all though, the Deathadder is a diehard gamer's mouse, and is a true performer through and through. You would be hard pressed as a right handed user to find anything better for any need, not just gaming.

The DeathAdder is truly a classic, one that some hardcore players will never walk away from. Razer's software needs an update, however, to bring it into the current age, and if you have wrist problems you may wish to look for something smaller to enable a different grip, like the SteelSeries Xai.

Though lighter than we're used to, and wired, the silky rubberized surface, comfortable curves, and extremely responsive mouse buttons leave us in no hurry to return to the G7. Many of these issues involve a degree of personal taste, but if you're like us you'll like the DeathAdder quite a lot.

For the price, and for the features, the Razer DeathAdder, especially combined with the effective, large surface of the Razer Vespula are going to be ideal fits for all but the most specialized of gamers.

I always thought high speed long distance head shots were completely due to game playing skill of the individual, having owned and used ball mice back in the day and then optical mice made by Microsoft and Logitech. I then received the Deathadder in the mail to match my new gaming machine and...

I love this mouse. I was using a Microsoft Sidewinder before I went and got this one. I love the blue glow and the feel this mouse gives me. Its buttons are placed nicely to where they are out of the way, but this there when needed. It works great if you are just surfing the web or if you are in...

I honestly don't know what I was thinking when I bought this mouse for $60. I don't really play games that much, maybe an occasional round of Dota or 3v3 on Warcraft 3, but for the most part, I am a student that writes a lot. I can tell you that this is an easy 10 for me because it...

I bought this mouse on sale, and never looked back. I have very long, slender hands and this mouse feels great. The huge shoulder buttons are easy to use, and the rubberized grip keeps it firm in my hand. The only gripe is the drivers, which are functional but are a hassle to install and...

I wanted to get a real mouse for awhile because I had been using a wireless mouse that ate up battery power like no other. I picked up my Deathadder at Best Buy on sale (yea, I was surprised too)! The cord is three meters, I believe, and it is braided. One of the caveats I had when I was...

One of the best mice I have used to date (Logi MX518>G5>Fatal1ty>DeathAdder & Diamondback 3G). This mouse has an exceptional 1kHz poling rate (how frequently the computer and mouse communicate with each other). Its DPI is perfectly adequate but be prepared to drop your in game sensitivity to...

This mouse is a beast. It looks amazing, feels amazing, and functions amazing. Dont get tricked into buy the Razer Naga just because of the keypad, thinking that this mouse is nothing compared to it. This mouse is the best mouse you can buy for that sum of money. Every time look down i'm giddy...
