Pros: Ergonomics. LED Lights. Long cable. Adjustments.

Cons: Slightly weaker plastic than some mice. Glossy sides

Introduction:

This is a great mouse from Razer, is a wired mouse, and has upto 3500DPI. It is nice to hold, but I personally don't like the glossy sides.


Review:

It is a palm grip mouse, but I also use it as a Claw, and fingertip grip as well. I use it for Call of Duty and Battlefield and I do really well with this mouse.

It has a nice plastic/rubber thing going on. It has glossy plastic on the sides which I came to find annoying, because it collects sweat easily. It also has two programmable button on the left side that you use with your thumb.

It is a very non-stick mouse, and moves very well, and it is easy to click, and scroll. Making it a great mouse for everyone. And the long cable means you can use it on any desk.

The only real issue I see is the slightly weaker plastic, but I've had mine for about 6 months and it works just like the day I bought it.


Conclusion:

It's nice to use, good for gaming and browsing and sports a good price.

Pros: Light, lights aren't annoying, nice long cord

Cons: Profile switch on the bottom of the mouse

It seems like cheaper plastic than other mice I've seen, comparing mostly to the Logitech MX518. I mean, it looks like it'll withstand a lot but it doesn't feel as tough as the MX518, perhaps it's just the matter of weight difference to me.

The profile switch on the bottom? That I don't understand. I owned the Lachesis for a bit, till it started bugging out on me, so I returned for this instead. The Lachesis had a spot for it where it was reachable to switch on the fly. I don't need to switch DPI on the fly often but having the profile switch on the bottom is a bit annoying, and when you do hit the switch, expect a >1s downtime on your mouse.

Took my mouse to a lan party, returned with some of the braided fiber staring to seperate

Pros: Very ergonomic, tracks flawlessly, braided cord

Cons: No dedicated DPI switcher

Using the Razer Deathadder as a replacement for my MX518. Overall, this mouse is extremely comfortable and is a palm grip type of mouse. It has a nice rubberized coating on the top while the sides of the mouse has the regular, glossy finish. The mouse buttons have nice indentations for your fingers to rest comfortably on the mouse buttons.

This mouse does not come with software out of the box. You will have to download it from Razer's website but be warned, some users have had their mice bricked by updating their firmware. Not sure what causes this problem or if Razer has addressed this issue already or not. The software will allow you to change the mouse's DPI settings. The DPI settings are already pre set (450 , 900, 1800 and 3500). Polling rates are also pre set at 125 MHz, 500MHz and 1000MHz. These settings can be saved in 5 different profiles. Razer has added a little button UNDERNEATH the mouse to allow users to switch profiles. Pressing the button will change the profile from profile 1, to profile 2, to profile 3 and so on. The software also gives you the option to turn on or off mouse acceleration and manually adjust the master sensitivity or X and Y axes sensitivity.Each button ( 5 in total ), even the mouse wheel functions can be changed in the software itself.

Razer also sells spare mouse feet so they can be replaced when they get worn out.

If you get the normal version of this mouse, it comes with the pulsing Razer logo and the illuminated scroll wheel. These can be turned off in the software itself, but the software does not offer the option to stop the logo from pulsating.

Overall, not the best mouse out there as you can get cheaper mice that has more functions but I'm sticking with this as it is the most comfortable mouse I have ever used. Using this with my Razer Goliathus Dragon Age II mousepad and it moves around very smoothly.

EDIT : This mouse has no weight adjustment feature
