Razer Deathadder original 3G version

post #1 of 37

Thread Starter 
Anybody know where I can get my hands on the original version of the deathadder? I recently bought the new 3.5G Black edition and there's a serious problem with the lift off distance. It makes it almost impossible for me to use, mainly because I'm constantly picking my mouse up when I'm playing games, it's a bad habit really but it just can't stop doing it! I've heard that the original sensor doesn't have this problem. I've looked everywhere and I can't seem to find a place that sells it, surely there must be some of them still out there. Cheers.

I have a 3G Deathadder and an Imperator. I like them both, but the DA is a little better. I'd be willing to sell it to you for $50 plus your 3.5G and paid shipping of your choice both ways. PM me if interested.

That's a little bit too pricey for me. But what's the quality of it like? Has it been used much?4

They stopped selling them not long after they came out with the v3.5. If you do find one, it'll either be refurbished or at some no name place. I have 2 of them still wink.gif

I had 2 deathadders one was 3g and black edtion both had low lift off distance.
I bought 3rd 3.5g Deathadder and it has high lod. So its just your luck to get 3.5g which has low lod.
Maybe return it and order 3.5g or order from different shop.

Tape fix works great. If you do it correctly the LOD is almost as low as Zowie AM.

i felt that the tape fix messes up with the tracking somehow...

After removing the tape after 4 months of use, I noticed how much "faster/snappier" my mouse felt. Though the low lift-off was ridiculously low, I think i prefer it without the tape.

Transparent tape covering the sensor. There are variations that only cover the bottom half though.
