Razer DeathAdder Essential – White

Clickeo cómodo y ligero, la luz puede ser controlada por la app y además permite configurar los botones adicionales pero no en todos los juegos solo con algunos me ha permitido el cambio

I’ve had this mouse for just over 2 years, and for a 20 quid mouse, the fact its only now starting to conk out a bit (scroll wheels gotten a bit jumpy) is pretty good going.

For a budget gaming mouse, it does the job well. No issues with responsivity, fits well in my hand (which is on the somewhat small side, so the mouse being slightly bigger than I’d like makes it perfect for the average), comes with programmable side buttons which are great for the keybinds you dont have room for on the keyboard (melee in overwatch, for example).

Overall, does what it needs to, no frills but no spills as it were.

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!

Great quality mouse, but my main issue, along with other MICE, has been that the rubber grips on the sides lose adhesion and fall off. It might be better with it all off, for real. I don’t know if the technology even exists for a solid adhesive to hold, but it really feels nice being smooth and al that shit no longer there.

Razer, don’t make me feel gunked up and nasty, bro. Just give me a solid product. It’s not hard to be clean. Don’t fall in line with the other rejects.

My son says it works good

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.
