DeathAdder Mini Review



I recently went shopping for a high quality, right handed gaming mouse. After vast review research and trying out differant mice in store I landed on the Razer Deathadder. Nothing specific grabbed me, was just a preference. I personally found the Logitech G5 more comfortable feeling at first, however I now am quite attached to my Deathadder.

Since there are many Deathadder reviews throughout the internet, I decided I would just comment on Pro's and Con's I have taken interest in, and give my opinion.

I'am going to keep this short and sweet.

Concerns I've read about include poor driver and firmware support as well as poor customer support. In my experience I've had no problems with drivers, firmware or customer service.
Your experience may however vary.

Now for issues with the LED logo heating up the mouse in long usage. I personally only notice the heat if i try to and even then it isn't enough to distract me or cause discomfort.

Now for my issues with the mouse. Note these are all preference concerns.
The glossy material used for the lower portion of the mouse is hard keep clean and can be clingy to some debris. However if your like me and take care of the mouse as anyone should it isnt a problem, I clean the mouse frequently. Also dirt may over time build-up in some of the cracks and under the buttons, but if you clean in there every now and then it shouldn't be a concern.

As for pros well, you've probally heard them all but Ill list some things that stand out for me.

-Sensitivity and response.
-Customization of key bindings and sensitivites.
-Comfort. (Took few days to appreciate, but nows its grown on me)
-Simplicity( isnt overdone with 19 buttons an LCD screen and a cup holder)
- Personally like the weight, no need for an adjustable weight system.
