[@dean8067]

Got mine about 3 months ago and ive been really happy. I came from using a Coolermaster CM310. It had really nice high quality RGB and was very simple to configure and use. But after only about 7 or so months, the cable connection coming from the mouse started breaking, so i traded it for a Deathadder Elite, and its very nice. Definitely for large hands which I'm okay with.

[@SeN927]

As a previous owner of deathadders i always loved the shape of them definitely one of my favourite designs. I bought the original deathadder and it was my longest lasting mouse when that one broke after a few years. I bought another deathadder the mice build still felt good however the mouse didn't even last 1 year and i didn't have the patience to RMA it so i purchased another one and that one broke with in a year as well. So i bought 1 last one broke in 6 months, at that point i gave up on razer. Every product I've had or gifted to people has broken ever since they brought back the chroma versions of the deathadder. I worked in a computer retail store as well and razer does not have a good reputation for the workers because how much razer products needs to be RMA'd

[@zigapauko1]

SeN927 For me, it is quite the opposite. I bought the razer tarantula in 2010 and replaced it this year, because I wanted a mechanical keyboard, but the tarantula still works. I also owned the boomslang for around 5-10 years and then replaced it with the mamba in 2015. The boomslang still works and I still use the mamba. For me razer makes one of the most reliable products I have ever owned, but I take a lot of care and clean my keyboard and mouse regularly.

My Razer Viper's scroll wheel kept getting stuck. I've RMA'd it twice, got fed up, and replaced it with a Model O instead. It's simply bizarre because my budget G203 and DA Elite never had any problems. I'm not telling people to refrain from buying the Viper though, because it's really good. Just be gentle with the scroll wheel, and maybe replace the mouse feet later on.

[@jcross1215]

@@simonbru1299 It really depends on what type of player you are. Are you a chill gamer that just wants a comfortable mouse, or do you like competitive titles where you want to aim your best? If you game lightly, just get the DA V2 or Glorious Model D. If you're competitive, get something that you can fingertip or claw grip. Palm grip is usually not as good for aiming.

I will always try something new, but the Deathadder always pulls me back in. It’s the shape. It’s just perfect.

[@DaggRevs]

I have been using my original Deathadder 2014 for over 5 years now and compared it to 3 other mice over the years. Nothing has compared to my oldie and will be trying the V2 in the future. Hopefully it lives up to the standards because mine has not broke once over the time I have had it.

[@pansikake]

Nice review! You guys do the best ones around, I built half my PC with yours in mind :) I bought the Deathadder v2 about a week ago, after reading some reviews, I thought about giving it a shot, and man, I didn't miss. The shape is great, I do claw and fingertip grip with a hand of 18,5x11cm and is absolutely amazing, it fills up your palm without being bulky, along with the perfect weight for the size. I've been using a Steelseries Rival 300 for 4 years, and this upgrade made my precision almost 2 times better in competitive FPS (BF5) and I felt it since minute one. For the ones that like big mices and have medium and large hands, this is the one (IMHO).

[@robinbrother]

Been using a deathadder for years. Still my goto. Even bought one for work. I just keep an eye on Amazon. Sometimes the price drops 50% and I buy it.... :) Death adder elite was a good build.

[@TheSpiritCarriesOn]

This comparison hits the spot. I've had the original Deathadder since 2008 and thinking about upgrading, because I'm just so used to the shape. It still works great, even though my friends told me at the time of buying that it's gonna fall apart in half a year. I'm NOT a very tidy person and I slammed the mice in fits of rage on the table many times. If that's not a testament to the quality, I don't know what is. Спасибо за обзор, Дим! ;)

I've had the Deathadder Chroma for a few years and have had zero issues, love it. I upgraded to the V2 because it's the only one I feel made real upgrades. I love it even more. Honestly I just love the fit and feel in my hand the most but all the other grades really make it a quite nice mouse. The optical switches in right and left mouse buttons do feel different though, the previous iterations all had mechanical up to this point. I wouldn't same "squishy" but they do have a "softer" feel. Less bite and not as loud. I am overall happy with their mice and glad to continue on with them for mice.

I've been using a death adder in some shape or form for the past 7 years, It fits my large hand exceptionally well. I upgraded from the Death adder RGB to the Death adder Elite in 2018, unfortunately I've had some issues with the mouse since then, the scroll wheel bugs out at slower scrolling speeds and the mouse has started to double click. I'm hesitant to tryout a new mouse that isn't a death adder so I'm seriously considering the DeathAdder V2.

After a couple of years I upgraded to the Deathadder Elite and passed on my old one to a friend. I'm looking forward to upgrading again to the V2 as soon as my budget allows :) I like these mice so much I also use a Deathadder Elite for work at my desk.

[@distelmarc]

I had the original DeathAdder (I might still have it, it's around here somewhere). It was a great mouse, lasted quite a bit. I was then gifted a Mamba shortly after it came out for Christmas by my parents. That was a great mouse but it didn't last two years. After that, I bought my current mouse, the DeathAdder from a few years ago. It's still going strong, very comfortable, reliable, and clean looking. I don't like a lot of design "action" on my stuff (outside of lighting), and this thing is great. I currently run Corsair heavy, from fans to RAM to keyboard and mousepad (all RGBed up of course), BUUUUUT I don't think I will go Corsair mouse for a while. I have a feeling this mouse will last me a good long time.

[@JDubST]

I've been using a Razer DeathAdder for 7-8 years now, and have absolutely loved using it. The shape fits my hand perfectly. However, it is definitely starting to show its age with the scrollwheel button starting to get worn out. I have to click it a certain way to get any sort of response (though scroll still works). I've been looking for another mouse to buy, and I'm tempted to get the V2 now that I see it's released. However, I've been wanting to get a wireless mouse, and currently thinking of getting the Basilisk. If the DeathAdder were to come out with a wireless version, I would purchase it in a heartbeat!

[@Zamm1n]

I can tell you how to fix and upgrade your grips at the same time, if it interests you. Buy a roll of Lizard Skins 0.5mm DSP Bat Grip, peel the original rubber grips off entirely and use them as a template to cut new ones out of the Lizard Skins grip. Use some rubbing alcohol to clean up any adhesive residue off the mouse and stick your newly cut grips on where the originals came off. You now have new and upgraded mouse grips that can be easily replaced in future if every needed.

[@camerontorrente5005]

When mine started coming off I fully took the grips off and rubbed the adhesive off and I was able to get used to it if all else fails

I've used the razer deathadder elite for almost 4 years. I definitely put it through its paces. Traveled with it, threw it, slammed it, the braiding on the cable essentially fell off but it still worked. Only recently did it break and I just had to buy the deathadder v2 because there is nothing that can replace the feel of the deathadder. The shape, size, positioning, simplicity; it's all there. It's not over complicated like most other mice on the market with useless grooves, adjustable weight or 10 to 12 buttons. It's simple, sleek and it more than does the job. Turly the best gaming mouse on the market.

Personally owned the Deathadder v1, Deathadder elite, Deathadder v2 and the Mamba wireless (supposed to be the DeathAdder wireless Equiv) Always loved the shape and the weight definitely did not hold me back. As the mice got lighter and the mousepads got smoother, it becomes harder to control. However, turning down the sensitivity easily fixes the "issue" and allows for a more comfortable experience. Very fast and responsive mouse. Wouldn't use any other mouse. The only issue I had up to the Deathadder elite was the rubber grip falling off after a couple months of constant use. The Deathadder V2 fixed this by having it built into the mouse instead of removable.

Joo u just described my life 1:1 ,i have also the elite since 3 years,but I have a issue with mine,the left click button does not work good anymore,when i click spam everything is fine,but when I am holding the button,it does nothing for a sec(for example my gun does not shoot & I have to press harder ) & that sucks Do you have the deathadder v2 already? How is it?

[@Trajectoree]

I've had my deathadder since 2010 and its been my first and only gaming mouse. Only now have the two side buttons stopped working so its been a good purchase, hopefully I can upgrade soon :)

[@maartenooo]

After using a Deathadder Chroma for 6 years, I'm so glad that I have made that ridiculous investment of 70 euros all those years ago. Deathadder mouses are truly the most comfortable mice in the world. It still looks like new after 6 years. My family members always 'borrow' it when I'm away. Currently, I'm buying two deathadders V2 so that everyone in my family has one and does not feel the need to 'borrow' ughh.. uhmmm steal the mouse from me.

[@davidamaral6354]

Not buying Razer mouses again, less than 2 years of usage and my deathadder started having problems, the lighting flickering, the middle button not working, the left button double clicking on single clicks. It never fell, and i never used it in an agressive manner, switched to Corsair Harpoon, cheap and reliable.

[@JacobThomas0212]

They've really changed now though, the Viper and Deathadder V2 are *really* good quality. My v2 has been my daily since feb, no issues at all and nothing has worn down (sides, bottom pads). My fav mouse ever, and I've used Model O, Model O-, G203 and G Pro wireless and by far the deathadder is the best (in my opinion). Glad you enjoy the harpoon though!

Im on my like 8th deathadder and keep a spare at the ready , most common failure is the plastic standoffs ( inside the mouse that contact the buttons) , only had one left side button failure. I still recommend this mouse to all of my friends and love it! Failures were due to abuse playing rocket league mostly. Will continue to buy them!

[@shadow11829]

I've used the deathadder for about 7 years when I started gaming and I've never looked back, my first one lasted me about 5 years and the only reason I retired it was because the mmb stopped working consistently, sometimes it works and other times it just doesn't register like I never pressed it, I play a lot of strategy games so that was kind of a must have button for a lot of games, the scroll still worked just pressing it down wasn't always 100 percent so then I got another one, and that one has lasted me since, recently my lmb has been doing the same thing where a normal click works perfectly but holding down the click will sometimes just let go of what I doing, dragging a box to select units or in the middle of full auto in an fps it will just stop and then re engage, so I'd say it's time for another, it's the most comfortable mouse I've used and I'm so used to it I don't think I could switch to anything else

[@vampiro664]

I've had mine which is the left handed one for around 6 or 7 years and it's still going strong.

[@appletheepal4429]

the deathadder should have a smaller version, if they do make it and use the optical switches i'd buy it on a whim

[@rossharper1983]

Needs a bigger version. No room on the left side to fit both fingers comfortably

[@pgza3345]

I have the deathadder v2 and it's honestly a superb mouse. The sensor is really really good and that combined with the newer feet and lighter weight compared to the deathadder elite makes for a better experience especially in fps games. I had the deathadder elite before this mouse and I had it for about 4 years and that is also an amazing mouse but the rubber grip on the side started to peel off which I heard a lot of people had problems with. I've had the v2 for a couple of months now and I haven't had any problems with it so far and as of when I post this the price is around 60 bucks for it (atleast in sweden) and that is such a good price for what you get with this mouse. I would say if you are thinking of buying a new mouse you should concider the deathadder v2.

[@jdxjoxi]

We gotta stop calling 'x' mouse the best gaming mouse

[@Gambit33]

Not even close to the best, especially because Razer uses cheap switches in their mice that develops double / triple clicking problems when you only click once. Had to RMA multiple Razer mice because if this issue.

[@ferni0]

Click what is this? 2012? Their switches are specifically designed to avoid multiple clicks

[@TalesOfWar]

Microsoft mice had that issue for a long time too. I moved to Logitech years ago because of this. Also Microsoft just don't tend to make good gaming mice like they used to back in the day.

[@Syrax117]

i got introduced to razer by my older (now 30) year old brother, he had the deathadder essential and it died a while ago due to old abuse, i've always wanted to get another for myself because how comfortable the mouse design was. now i have the V2 and im happy to say im happy with it. feels heavy but not too much, which i like. i don like light mice, feels cheap to me. but comfort and performance is great on it.

Ah yes razer quality, when you absolutely need to miss clicks, and you really really want to have your headset playback bleed through into your mic in your $200 headset.

[@pshemax]

Best mouse ever, I am currently using DeathAdder Expert for 4 years, recently my left click started to go bad (sometimes registers 2 clicks when pressed once and getting soft) and it seems like that's the only issue I have ever had with this mice. My first DeathAdder left-click went after 4 years and second Deathadder Chroma the same. That's why I have decided to resurrect all three mice, I have ordered 3x Omron switches and once they arrive I will have 3 working mice :) I do recommend this mouse to everyone who does not need a crazy amount of buttons on the mouse.
