Longevity is specially important here given the DeathAdder's mixed track record in this department - it has a penchant for erratically registering multiple duplicate clicks after a few months of use.Īdmittedly we are fans of the DeathAdder at TechSpot, three people in the office are using it and we've bought almost a dozen of them in the past 5+ years. Razer worked with Omron on the Elite's mechanical switches and claims they are 'tweaked for the fastest response times for gaming and for extended durability up to 50 million clicks.' They offer fast actuation times and provide a satisfying click. The left and right click buttons feature subtle grooves for your fingers to rest, which not only helps with comfort but also with quick lateral movements. The Elite features two more (DPI) buttons than the previous-gen Chroma for a total of 7 buttons. The DeathAdder has a nice low profile that should fit comfortably with either a claw grip or a palm grip, and the smooth matte plastic surface feels nice underneath the hand. Razer hasn't changed the overall shape of the mouse: it has the same classic scooped body, two oversized thumb buttons, and its sides are slightly slanted inwards which along with the textured rubber pads offer a nice and secure grip. This is a direct replacement to the DeathAdder Chroma that was released a couple of years ago, bringing modest upgrades to sensor DPI, accuracy, and a couple extra buttons.

While it's billed as a gaming mouse, its simple, effective design makes it suitable for any type of user. Weighing in at 105 grams, it's among the lightest mice of its size and is a good fit for a variety of hand sizes and grips. The Elite is around 5 inches long, 1.7 inches high, and 2.7 inches at its widest. The mouse preserves the same comfortable and ergonomic design that we know, with a few improvements inside and out, most importantly endurance. While there have been a few iterations over the years, Razer has focused on incremental upgrades without ever changing what makes the DeathAdder beloved by so many.įor its tenth anniversary the update came in the form of the DeathAdder Elite.

The Razer DeathAdder has often been regarded as one of the top gaming mice since it emerged back in 2006.
