Best Mouse Ever
This is the upgraded version
of the Razer DeathAdder. 3500 DPI instead of 1800 DPI. This is the main
difference, although I believe the newer version has a gold plated USB
connector and obviously different drivers for each model. Either way
both models are identical in physical shape.
The arc of the mouse
is by far the most comfortable I've ever used, in that it actually
follows the curve of one's hand how it instinctively would grab a mouse.
It is also a right handed mouse, sorry southpaws, which adds to the
comfort and control of the mouse. I can't say I know what the mouse grip
is made out of, but it is completely slip resistant and oil
resistant/absorbent. The sides of the mouse are a hard plastic and
between the teflon feet and light weight of the mouse there is almost no
resistance to movement.
I upgraded from a Logitech Revolution
wireless mouse and wireless mice, while convenient, can't compete with
the accuracy and precision that a wired mouse provides. My old wireless
mouse would lag and skip across the screen and often when closing a
program it would accidentally close the window behind it as well, which I
never quite figured out why it did that (I'm guessing radio
interference?). With the DeathAdder, I have not had that problem once
and every click I make is exactly where I expect it to be.
I
played with a Logitech G9 and MX518 as well as the Razer Salmosa, which
all felt like solid and accurate mice, but they lacked the feel the
DeathAdder has. The technical specs are important, but it doesn't really
matter how accurate a mouse is if it still isn't comfortable to use. In
short, I'm pretty happy I went this way. However, the Razer Salmosa was
a close second, but it just seemed like a simple version of the
original 3G DeathAdder.
As for gaming I haven't had a whole lot
of chances to test it out yet. I've played a bit of Left for Dead with
it and after some getting used to and tweaking the settings (independent
X and Y sensitivity, button assignemnt, acceleration, etc.) it is way
easier to shoot hoards of zombies in the head. I also have played a bit
of Fallout, and while the mouse is definately smoother, I can't say it
has affected gameplay all that much. I've tried this mouse on my desktop
and laptop (Vista and 7 respectively) and both operating systems seem
to run the Razer software perfectly fine. Windows recognized the mouse
immediately and it works fine with the windows drivers, but I highly
recommend downloading the latest Razer drivers for maximum performance.
The level of adjustment this mouse offers is wasted otherwise.
Other
thoughts:
The blue lights on the mouse wheel and the glowing
DeathAdder logo are pretty cool. I can see them becoming annoying after a
while, but they are easy enough to turn off in the settings.
The
DPI and Polling rates can be lowered from the 3500DPI and 1000ms if
desired, but I only notice a decrease in accuracy and performance so I'm
not sure why you would.
My only real complaint is the
"On-The-Fly" sensitivity switch is on the bottom of the mouse. I'm not
sure how on the fly that is if I'm playing a game, which is the only
time I would need to use that feature. Ultimately, it's not that big of a
deal, but it is kind of false advertising in my opinion.
I can't
stress enough how form fitting this mouse is, not to mention that is
looks pretty cool at the same time. Something about it just feels
"right." Granted it took me a couple days to get used to it, but now I
don't think I could go back. If you already have a Logitech G9 (or
something similar) I can't say I'd tell you to go replace it right now,
but if you are looking for an upgrade this is the way to go.
Razer Deathadder
I like this mouse. It's
stylish, comfortable and customizable. I play a lot of fps and spend a
lot of time on the computer in general. I have pretty big hands. I've
found this mouse to be true to its claims on comfort and ergonomics. I
can use it for long hours with no fatigue. The exception to this is my
right ring and pinky finger pressed against the right side of the mouse
can get sore after many hours of intense gaming. This may just be an
issue with my personal grip style, I don't know. The software is easy to
use and there is every setting you could ever want to adjust on a mouse
available. However, it took me a long time to find the correct settings
for my personal system and games (I use 1800 dpi, 500Hz polling rate, 7
sensitivity). I find the default settings are far too sensitive and I
doubt anyone will ever use the highest. If you have a low end system
keep in mind the higher polling rates will use some extra cpu cycles and
may cause you to lose a few frames per second. This is probably not a
concern for most gamers with high end systems. The infrared laser is
very sensitive. You have to lift the mouse ~1 inch off the surface
before it loses contact which took me a while to get used to.
There
are only a few things I don't like about it. I don't like that you
can't set the razer logo led to solid instead of pulse. I also don't
like that the slick plastic material on the sides gets dirty very
easily. The material used is very sensitive to moisture. If you just
washed your hands, got out of the shower, or they are the slightest bit
moist from sweat or whatever you will notice the whole mouse looks like
it is soaked in moisture. Furthermore, the mouse gets warm very quickly
with both leds on, which ends up making your hand sweat and lose grip. I
find turning the leds off may help with this problem. Coming from a
conventional mouse the unique shape of the deathadder took a very long
time to get used to. Don't expect to just jump into your games out of
the box and be a better player. However, I think once you grow
accustomed to it you'll love it.
EDIT: The new firmware update
v2.4 failed on win7 x64 and bricked the mouse. I would recommend
sticking with the original firmware and not even bothering updating
until razer releases a new, non-buggy version.
not for small hands
I just bought this for my
husbands birthday and had to try it out myself. Definately made for
larger hands. Unable to reach the forward side button without sliding my
hand forward which then makes it awkward to use the other buttons. I
can see how that can be annoying to keep adjusting your hand on the
mouse just to reach that one button. So I don't recommend getting this
for kids or anyone else with small hands.
