Question

Razer Deathadder 2013 Upgrade

Feb 15, 2014 9:12PM PST

Hi everyone,

I'm thinking about upgrading my 2 years old Razer Imperator 2012 mouse to Razer Deathadder 2013 edition.

Mostly I'm playing RPGs, MMORPGs but also FPSs, other shooters. Just every genre I guess. And no, I don't need Naga. I've got Orbweaver already for the extra buttons.

I've read Deathadder is excellent. It's responsive, light and has nice ergonomics and that it's great for FPSs too as I'm gonna buy Titanfall and play a lot of it.

Do you think it's worth it? Does anybody have any experiences with Deathadder?

P.S. Please don't recommend me other brands than Razer. I'm one of those lucky ones who never had any problem with their products and my setup is already Razer-ish. Thanks.

I got for Christmas . I'ts a really good mouse, responsive and feels good in the hand BUT I stopped using it .

I'd be using the computer at night and that mouse Drove Me Nuts with the lit up logo and wheel going on and off .

Don't want no stinkin' lit up mouse.

Doesn't it have a switch as do most others? But I know what you mean have seen the issue, specifically with hardwired USB input mice..it IS irritating...
