Great quality for an affordable price.
The Razer Deathadder Essential is part of Razer’s best selling and legendary Deathadder lineup of gaming mice, and while most of its “cousins” tend to lean on the pricier side, the Essential is one that definitely stands out from the rest. I bought this for less than $30, but I feel like I got way more than what I paid for because it doesn’t feel like an entry level gaming mouse at all.It’s surprisingly light and its ergonomic design is perfect for my hand size. Some of the mice that I used in the past would cause me to feel small levels of discomfort after hours of continuous use, but this was not the case with the Deathadder Essential. I used it for more than about 5 hours straight and I didn’t feel any discomfort or numbness around my fingers at all.It’s durable enough to last for up to 10 million clicks, and unless you double click the left and right mouse buttons with the speed of a raging jack rabbit during mating season, I doubt you’re gonna be able to get through all of those clicks in the next 5 years or so.Some of the reviews that I’ve read here have aired complaints about the bloatware that comes with it, but for me it wasn’t really an issue. When you first plug in the mouse it will require you to install Razer Synapse where you can sign up with Razer and customize your mouse as you see fit.I only customized the lighting options as the games that I play really aren’t that heavy on macros. The Synapse software is pretty intuitive and easy to navigate, so most users shouldn’t have a problem understanding it after a few minutes of tinkering with its settings.My only complaint about the Deathadder essential would have to be the material used for its build. I’m not saying it’s flimsy and breaks easily, but it doesn’t feel as “aesthetically pleasing” as its more expensive counterparts. The quality is decent, make no mistake about it, but I guess for less than $30 you really can’t expect it to look and feel like the Razer Mamba or Deathadder V2.Final Verdict: The Deathadder Essential is a very good option for those who want to purchase a basic and affordable gaming mouse that feels great, works great, and has a pretty neat look to it.

Excellent mouse; 6400 DPIâ¦super responsive!!!
This is my 2nd Razer DeathAdder Essential mouse and 4th Razer mouse in general as I am a big fan of Razer products. This particular mouse is a perfect size and ergonomically designed to fit any handsâ¦itâs 6400 DPI; super duper responsive and has different speed choices that one can select by just pressing a button. This is particularly useful when you are playing games vs office work etc. The mouse works by default with any windows OS; you can also download the Razer software to customize the device further.I use this mouse predominantly for office work but also do occasional gaming in my new gaming PC. I also like the white color as it matches with my white PC.

Chinese Exclusive
Let me start by saying I LOVE this mouse. I’ve had the Razer Mamba Elite mouse for a few months now and decided to upgrade to fit my white set up. I looked damn near everywhere for this mouse, only to realize it was a Chinese exclusive! I didn’t realize the white mouse on Razer’s website for their Mercury collection was a Viper, not a DeathAdder. Anyway, so I took to Amazon. I bought this on a whim and then I realized that I probably didn’t buy an authentic Razer product so I was worried about some inconsistencies in the quality I’m used to. Sure enough, the white DeathAdder does exist to Razer, just in a different country!After receiving this mouse and getting it set up, I realized that there wasn’t that big of a difference from that of my Mamba Elite. I was worried considering I had small hands and a lot of people say the DeathAdder was designed for larger hands. Safe to say, that is not true at all! If anything, my hands rested on the little clickers perfectly! The texture of the mouse felt nice as well. It’s also a quiet click, if you’re into quieter clicking switches. To note, if you’re crazy about RGB (like I am) this probably is not the mouse for you. While the lighting on the mouse is nice, it is only white. But it sure is a BRIGHT white!So to recap, the mouse serves its purpose. The color and texture is nice, so is the lighting, the DPI is adjustable but only within Synapse, fits nicely in the hand, and doesn’t have that “cheap” feel to it. Awesome mouse at an awesome price point!

Nice solid mouse – Keeps it simple.
The mouse is great, I give the hardware 5 stars. I took off a star because the software, while polished in appearance, was not intuitive and setting up the macro gave me an error, even though the macro worked. It told me I needed an additional app/download, but didn’t tell me how to get it. (The very simple application interface in the cheap no-name mouse I replaced was actually better, even though it was not pretty.)

Honestly the best mouse I’ve used for gaming.
The mouse I had beforehand was a mouse that came with my gaming pc that I ordered. It was fine but it broke down REALLY fast. So I figured I’d just get a new mouse that wasn’t too expensive. So I got this and in all honesty I don’t regret it a single bit.I’m not sure if this is the right way to put it, but it has a very “soft” click. Not that it isn’t quiet, but the clicking is pretty quiet and satisfying. Not to mention I love the color of it. The actual mouse wire has a mesh wrapped around the wire so I love that as well because it makes potential tangling of the wire, minimal. I haven’t changed any of the settings of the mouse myself yet but I know that it comes with it’s own software to change it’s settings (i’m assuming) yourself.All in all, this is the first review I’ve left for a product and I didn’t want to leave a review until after I’ve had the product for a few weeks. This mouse is awesome, and absolutely worth your money.Thank you for coming to my ted talk

Purchased during a deal
Been using Razer for years and prefer it. Essential is a pretty basic mouse compared to their other options, but no complaints from me. For $19, it works well.

Vor etwa einem Jahr gekauft und benutze die Maus seitdem.Für den Preis ist es wirklich richtig gut. Ich würde es auf jeden Fall empfehlen.Hier erkläre ich, warum mir die Maus so gut gefälltWird nicht so schnell schmutzig: Vor dieser Maus habe ich eine hellrosa Gamer-Maus verwendet, die sich unmöglich sauber halten lieÃ. Selbst mit gewaschenen Händen würde es irgendwie fleckig werden und die Flecken würden in das Material eindringen, so dass es nicht abgewaschen werden könne. Das Material begann sogar zu reiÃen und sah wirklich schlecht aus. Irgendwann sah es so schlecht aus, dass ich die Maus neu kaufen musste, aber dann passierte das Gleiche noch einmal. Zum Glück habe ich mich dann für den Kauf dieser Maus entschieden. Das Material ist glatt, nimmt keinen Schmutz auf, lässt sich bei Bedarf leicht abwischen und reiÃt nicht. Im Allgemeinen sieht es auch nach einem Jahr noch wie neu aus. Es ist also natürlich viel, viel besser.Liegt gut in der Hand, hat für mich eine gute GröÃe: Es ist wirklich bequem und ergonomisch. Viele Mäuse fühlen sich in meiner Hand zu groà an, aber diese ist genau richtig. Das Material fühlt sich auÃerdem glatt an und ist angenehm anzufassen.Cooler Lichteffekt: Mit der App kannst du ihn zum Leuchten bringen. Persönlich bevorzuge ich das ausgeschaltete Licht, aber die Option ist immer noch groÃartig und sieht gut aus. Sie können sogar die genaue Farbe und Intensität des Lichts auswählen und es gibt auch Effekte.Gut zum Spielen: Es ist schnell und gut für schnelle Reaktionen, hatte hier nie Probleme.Und natürlich sieht es auch einfach nur schön aus. Die weiÃe Farbe passt gut zu meinem âFarbthemaâ, wie Sie auf dem Bild sehen können.Der Preis ist auch gut (ich habe es für 30 Euro gekauft), eigentlich ein wirklich gutes Angebot von einer so bekannten Marke. Insgesamt bin ich also zu 110 % zufrieden und kann es auf jeden Fall jedem empfehlen, der eine schöne Maus sucht.

Been using for many years, never had any issues relating to performance, but I can say for certain that this mouse can accumulate grime in it’s crevices, which is very visible.
