Razer DeathAdder Gaming Mouse Review

Published by

If we were to publish a "Movers & Shakers" list for 2006, Razer would certainly be in the top 3. In the past year, Razer has expanded their product line to include keyboards, headphones, sound cards and most recently, computer speakers. We saw several of these new products at Razer's booth during the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show in January and even got to "play" with these products first hand. Like some other up-and-coming companies, Razer stays true to their roots by continuing to release new and innovative gaming mice on a regular basis. We will be taking a look at one of these new products today, the DeathAdder 3G Infrared Gaming Mouse. First we, we have pure comfort. Both mice feel really nice under my hand, but the DeathAdder's smooth rubber surface wins it for this category. The G7 surface material is plastic and feels like any other mouse. As mentioned earlier, the DeathAdder surface is very smooth, almost silky-like. Next we have to address the mouse cord on the DeathAdder. All of Razer's mice are corded. I could understand the need for this but now that Bluetooth technology has had time to mature, I still question why Razer hasn't released a cordless mouse yet. Granted, the DeathAdder has a long 7 foot cord complete with gold-plated USB connector, the Bluetooth-enabled G7 takes this category hands down. OCIA Full Review
