Razer Gaming Mouse (2018 Model) Classic Black

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.

i use this for competitive gaming but i got no money but this mouse works great, side buttons work perfect with no delay, super light weight, and great grip. it may be slightly to big for me but i adjusted quickly.

I’ve been using the Razer DeathAdder Essential for a while now, and I gotta say, it’s a solid pick for anyone looking to step up their gaming without spending a fortune. Right out of the box, it feels great in the hand—super comfortable, especially if you’ve got bigger hands or play for long sessions. The rubber side grips keep it from slipping, even during intense moments in games like Valorant or Apex Legends. The 6400 DPI sensor is smooth and responsive, perfect for quick flicks and precise aiming. I’m no pro gamer, but it’s handled everything I’ve thrown at it, from fast-paced shooters to slower strategy games. The five programmable buttons are a nice touch—I set up a couple for in-game shortcuts, and the Razer Synapse software made it a breeze to customize them. The clicks feel snappy and satisfying, and I love that it’s built to last with those mechanical switches. My only gripes? The green lighting (it’s just one color) looks cool but feels a bit basic compared to other Razer mice with full RGB. Also, the cable isn’t braided, which isn’t a dealbreaker but would’ve been nice for that premium feel. Oh, and if you’re left-handed, this one’s not for you since it’s designed for righties. It’s reliable, comfy, and gets the job done without any fuss. If you’re a casual gamer or just want a solid mouse for everyday use, I’d definitely recommend it.

good mouse but very. very. very. loud... it does what its supposed to though and looks pretty. razer quality isnt what it used to be, i had this same mouse years ago and it wasnt loud at all. its a good temporary mouse until i can get something better.

This is a nice mouse. The cable is very long. It has a good tactile click to the buttons and makes a satisfying sound when clicked. I use it for gaming and highly recommend it. I have small hands and it feels comfortable. It’s great for gaming Minecraft. Movement is responsive and accurate.

The Razer DeathAdder Essential is comfortable, responsive, and very easy to use. The tracking is smooth, the buttons feel solid, and it works perfectly right out of the box. Excellent quality from Razer at an affordable price. Highly recommended!!!!

Incredible mouse. I bought it almost 6 years ago, and it still works great—exactly as it did when new. For someone who games heavily, many hours daily, this is simply incredible. I also find the extra side buttons sufficient for gaming, including MMOs. I've never understood why people need 8+ buttons on a mouse; this one is simple yet effective. I'll definitely buy it again if I ever need to replace it. Simply amazing. 5 stars.

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!

Love the feeling and look of this one. Its a little big for my hand but still feels very comfy and solid

Great for long gaming sessions.

Item stopped working after 2 days, no physical or liquid damage. It just no longer turns on. Other mice work fine in the same port

Já uso a bastante tempo e nunca deu defeito. Ótimo mause

Excelente para jugar.
