They’re also useful to flip between different profiles, although Razer’s Synapse software supports automatic profiles tied to specific games.Īn Omrom mechanical switch is hiding underneath each main button. It would be tough to use them as action buttons, but they work well for quick adjustments to sensitivity, or other settings. There’s another pair of small buttons right behind the scroll wheel. Razer’s aesthetic choices are starting to look understated. Their generous size makes them ideal for actions you need quick access to, such as using your melee attack in a first-person shooter. But you won’t accidentally bump them during dramatic movements. They’re drawn in a light curve to match the inside edge of your thumb, positioned above the textured spot near the bottom of the mouse, so you have to reach a little to hit them. The two left-hand buttons have a deep action and a satisfyingly noisy click. The DeathAdder Elite actually has two more buttons than the DeathAdder Chroma, bringing it in line with the high-end Mamba series, for a total of 7 buttons. Few gaming mice still use rubber cables, so the Razer’s braided cable isn’t exactly revolutionary. Like all modern, wired mice, the DeathAdder attaches to your system via a seven-foot braided cable and gold-plated USB port.
It still beats Logitech’s version of RGB LED lighting, however, which we found gave the lights on the Prodigy G403 a blue tint. In the DeathAdder’s case, it’s a little disappointing, as the only light comes from the scroll wheel and logo on the back, and your hand covers them most of the time. Typically, Razer’s implementation is very nice, like the band of light encircling the Razer Mamba. Even the previous generation’s DeathAdder Chroma featured it. Razer has few devices in its arsenal without its Chroma RGB LED lighting. Among today’s increasingly gaudy and Transformer-esque mice, Razer’s aesthetic choice is starting to look understated. Razer’s all-black aesthetic has served it well over the last few years, and the DeathAdder picks up that mantle without contributing anything new to it. The only notable addition are two small buttons right behind the scroll wheel, which control sensitivity by default. It’s still a right-handed mouse with a pair of under-thumb buttons on the left side.
Does the DeathAdder Elite follow through, or will last year’s model suffice? Same as it ever wasįans of the previous DeathAdder models will be pleased to know that the design hasn’t changed much. This is a mouse with a lot of fans out there who might be looking to upgrade, without changing what’s already working. The DeathAdder Elite has to walk in the original DeathAdder’s footsteps. But there’s a lot more to this mouse than digits on a page. With the new DeathAdder Elite, Razer trumpets numbers like a 16,000 DPI sensor, 99.4 percent resolution accuracy, and tracking speeds of 450 inches per second. To make matters worse, mouse specifications like DPI, sensor accuracy, and lift-off distance don’t easily convey the product’s performance. The world of gaming mice is vast and complicated, with way too many brands offering far too many different models.
