Digital camera reviews of Razer DeathAdder 3G Infrared Gaming Mouse
Digital camera Review: Awesome Mouse!
Summary: 5 Stars
This mouse is great! Very comfortable, and performs like a star. I'm a right hander and i wanted a mouse that was ergonomic yet at the same great for gaming, and this filled the spot perfectly. It's so comfortable. In FPS gaming I sometimes feel as if my right hand is right there in the game. If you want a high performance, ergonomic mouse, this is the one. I used to use a Labtech optical mouse that used to hurt my hand terribly after extended use. When I got this one though, the difference was amazing. Nice buttons and sensitivity adjustments. The only other mouse is can remember using that was this comfortable was the Logitech MX1000, but the Deathadder is lighter and more maneuverable. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a high performance ergonomic mouse, be it for gaming or not. I love my Razer DeathAdder. (Oh by the way, the packaging was excellent, really loved that too).Digital camera Review: Awesome Mouse!

I've used the Death Adder for about 2 months now and it's the best mouse I've ever had hands down. The comfort, agility, button tension, etc. is all perfect. The mouse moves quickly and accurate and is awesome looking. Stick to this mouse and you'll be happy.Digital camera Review: Awesome mouse

I was skeptical that buying a gaming mouse would increase my gaming experience noticeably, but I was surprised at how good it felt and how much more accurate my aiming became. Looks cool, feels great, performs beyond all of my expectations. This is an awesome mouse well worth the purchase.Digital camera Review: Awesome right hand mouse

Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this to replace my age old Logitech MX500.
On the positive side, it is nicely presented with cool packing materials and it tracks very well. The drivers have a cool interface and are easy to use.
One of the main reasons I purchased this mouse was the ability to disable "drift control" which is commonly known as prediction. In order to do this you have to flash the firmware to version 1.28. Unfortunately, they haven't released a firmware update utility that is compatible with 64 bit OS's. Trying to run the updater on Windows 7 x64 resulted in an immediate crash and the mouse freezing until it was unplugged and plugged back in again. Unless you still have a computer running 32 bit Windows you're SOL for now.
The shape just didn't work for me at all. I play with a medium/medium-low sensitivity with one move across my pad as a 180 degree turn. With the Logitech MX series I use a palm grip to move the mouse large distances but also use my fingers to fine tune my aim. The DeathAdder is too large for this to be possible. If you like to use a palm grip exclusively or have very large hands then you will like this mouse, but I couldn't aim with the palm/claw hybrid style I like to use and I started getting wrist pain after less than an hour. For reference, my hand is about average in size. With the MX500 I had room to spare and wouldn't have minded if it were a little bit larger.
It is almost impossible to click the DeathAdder's mouse wheel with your middle finger without changing your hand position. I had to rebind my scope button to Mouse4 in Left 4 Dead 2 because it was simply not possible to use the middle mouse button without moving my trigger finger.
I decided to return the DeathAdder and order an MX518 instead. The ability to disable prediction was what made me decide to purchase the mouse over the Logitech initially, but since I can't flash the firmware with a 64 bit OS, this feature cannot be used on my system.
