Digital camera reviews of Razer DeathAdder 3G Infrared Gaming Mouse
Digital camera Review: Fantastic Mouse
Summary: 5 Stars
Can't say enough about how much I like this mouse. I just bought a second one after owning the first for 7 months. I like its feel - it has a good weight and is comfortable for my hand. I turn off the LED lights and find that it looks even better this way.
This is very quick to respond, and has a lot of sensitivity (the amount of which is easy to adjust to taste). I have played FPS games with it and find that it really makes a difference. This one's a winner.
Digital camera Review: Fastest and greatest for gaming!
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this for my son, the gamer. He loves this mouse and all the options it provides, say's it's the best he has used and he has had many! Just read the other reviews. Worth every penny!Digital camera Review: Fine mouse, but works only on certain type of surfaces.
Summary: 4 Stars
This mouse, compare with its brethren, are as good, if not better. From ergo standpoint, its hand molded design is welcoming for long period of use. In addition, the top surface is similar to Lachesis's rich, rubbery texture, so it doesn't slip and feels like an expensive equipment.
The only drawback is this: because it's based on infrared technology, it doesn't track on certain type of surfaces. Specially with light color or very smooth surface where infrared fares less well in detecting surface imperfections than lazer technology. I noticed this because I have Lachesis, copperhead and DeathAdder. My 'mouse pad' is a hardcover book with areas that is very light in color; Lachesis and Copperhead works fine on that book, but DeathAdder will lose it's traction in certain areas of the book.
This is minor details for those that may use unconventional, smooth surface as their mouse pad. Other than this minor point, if you can do without the additional buttons for adjusting sensitivity and profiles than you are going to be fine.
Digital camera Review: GREAT, but not as good as it sounds....
Summary: 4 Stars
So im in circuit city looking at gaming mice. i see this one, and immeadieatly the 1800dpi attracts me. also, it has a bunch of other features that make this mouse unmatched for its price. I bought it, and tryed it, expecting an AMAZING change from my old mouse. what I got was just my old standard Dell mouse, except the sensitivety was turned up, something you can change. what i mean is, don't buy this mouse for its features. it is a great mouse and feels great in your hands, and the scroll wheel is really cool. the 1800dpi, it doesnt really matter. Im giving it 4 stars for the feel and ease of useDigital camera Review: Gamer that switched from a G7 to this and couldn't be happier.
Summary: 5 Stars
I had been using a Logitech G7 wireless mouse for a few years until the right mouse button gave out on me. I read many reviews and had it down to the Logitech G9, G5, MS Sidewinder and the Razer DeathAdder. After using the G7 for a few years I had realized the wireless function was more an aesthetic/gimmick than a truly beneficial feature. Reviews had them fairly side by side, so I went to some local stores to put my hands on a few different mice. The feel is what set the Razer above the others. I am 6'4" with rather large hands and this mouse just felt the best. I also suggest going to the Razer site and reading up to see what type of 'grip' you use with your mouse to aid your decision.
Having now been using this mouse for over 2 months, I'm extremely happy with the decision, and will likely continue to buy Razer mice in the future as I am that pleased. It feels great, the resolution is great and it not only meets but exceeds my expectations for a mouse. I use this mouse on both IceMat and XTRAC Ripper XL mouse pads and it glides like a champ over both.
I primarily game on my PC, mostly FPS and RPG, would consider myself a hardcore gamer and have been since the Tandy days. Note that I do not use the additional software or driver utilities that come with this mouse, I never do with any mouse. I let the games and the OS do manage the functions, button mappings and profiles. I also never use any on-the-fly resolution switching while gaming (for the DeathAdder you must install the software utility for this functionality).
The product was packaged great and just reaffirms you've bought yourself a quality product. And for anyone wondering or thinking of going back to wired themselves, I do not miss the "no wires" one bit... and certainly do not miss swapping out a battery once or twice per day depending on usage. This mouse is lighter than my G7 was and in retrospect trading the weight for the wireless wasn't worth it. Even though for years I was content with the G7, I am now better off.
