There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
It's surprisingly light and its ergonomic design is perfect for my hand size. Some of the mice that I used in the past would cause me to feel small levels of discomfort after hours of continuous use, but this was not the case with the Deathadder Essential. I used it for more than about 5 hours straight and I didn't feel any discomfort or numbness around my fingers at all.
It's durable enough to last for up to 10 million clicks, and unless you double click the left and right mouse buttons with the speed of a raging jack rabbit during mating season, I doubt you're gonna be able to get through all of those clicks in the next 5 years or so.
Some of the reviews that I've read here have aired complaints about the bloatware that comes with it, but for me it wasn't really an issue. When you first plug in the mouse it will require you to install Razer Synapse where you can sign up with Razer and customize your mouse as you see fit.
I only customized the lighting options as the games that I play really aren't that heavy on macros. The Synapse software is pretty intuitive and easy to navigate, so most users shouldn't have a problem understanding it after a few minutes of tinkering with its settings.
My only complaint about the Deathadder essential would have to be the material used for its build. I'm not saying it's flimsy and breaks easily, but it doesn't feel as "aesthetically pleasing" as its more expensive counterparts. The quality is decent, make no mistake about it, but I guess for less than $30 you really can't expect it to look and feel like the Razer Mamba or Deathadder V2.
Final Verdict: The Deathadder Essential is a very good option for those who want to purchase a basic and affordable gaming mouse that feels great, works great, and has a pretty neat look to it.

After receiving this mouse and getting it set up, I realized that there wasn't that big of a difference from that of my Mamba Elite. I was worried considering I had small hands and a lot of people say the DeathAdder was designed for larger hands. Safe to say, that is not true at all! If anything, my hands rested on the little clickers perfectly! The texture of the mouse felt nice as well. It's also a quiet click, if you're into quieter clicking switches. To note, if you're crazy about RGB (like I am) this probably is not the mouse for you. While the lighting on the mouse is nice, it is only white. But it sure is a BRIGHT white!
So to recap, the mouse serves its purpose. The color and texture is nice, so is the lighting, the DPI is adjustable but only within Synapse, fits nicely in the hand, and doesn't have that "cheap" feel to it. Awesome mouse at an awesome price point!
I'm not sure if this is the right way to put it, but it has a very "soft" click. Not that it isn't quiet, but the clicking is pretty quiet and satisfying. Not to mention I love the color of it. The actual mouse wire has a mesh wrapped around the wire so I love that as well because it makes potential tangling of the wire, minimal. I haven't changed any of the settings of the mouse myself yet but I know that it comes with it's own software to change it's settings (i'm assuming) yourself.
All in all, this is the first review I've left for a product and I didn't want to leave a review until after I've had the product for a few weeks. This mouse is awesome, and absolutely worth your money.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk

Pros:
- It is comfortable to use for almost any hand size and grip type, especially for palm and claw grips.
- It has a low and adjustable CPI range, a low lift-off distance, and a low click latency, which make it ideal for FPS and other fast-paced games.
- It has a minimalist and sleek look, with customizable RGB lighting and a braided cable.
- It has five programmable buttons, which can be customized with the Razer Synapse software.
Cons:
- It is not ambidextrous, so it may not suit left-handed users.
- It is relatively heavy, compared to some other gaming mice, and it does not have a weight adjustment feature.
- It does not have many extra features, such as a tilt wheel, a sniper button, or onboard memory.
Summary: The Razer DeathAdder Gaming Mouse is a great choice for gamers who want a simple, reliable, and comfortable mouse that can handle any game genre. It has a proven track record of performance, quality, and durability, and it is reasonably priced. It may not have many bells and whistles, but it does the basics very well.
