Razer DeathAdder Review - PAGE 1

The world of competitive gaming is quite an intense one, people are always searching for the latest route to get an edge on their opponents, not only through just breakneck speeds and response but for response and comfort that meets their needs as well. In the gaming market there are only a handful of real hardware producers that can deliver technology that pushes the industry forward. Today we focus on one of them, Razer, possibly one of the most well regarded gaming hardware companies around.

The DeathAdder is the latest mouse by the company making many waves in the marketplace, for obvious reasons really, moving to an IR sensor, using a polling rate of 1000MHz as well as 1800dpi of precision. While many mice are touting 2000dpi out of laser counterparts we'll see how well things end up when it all comes down to a 200dpi barrier between the two technologies.

Packaging is quite simple in the DeathAdder:

1x DeathAdder Mouse
1x Driver Disc
Instructions / Manual




It's basically everything you need to get the product going and straight into massive frags.
