DeathAdder Review
The Razer DeathAdder features a subtle curves in the design and the placement of two buttons on the left side means it's for right-handed gamers, with the DeathAdder being very popular there is a left-handed edition also, anyway, the ergonomics is a well thought by Razer, the mouse fits perfectly in the palm.
As always, the light blue glow of the scroll wheel looks impressive, as does the glowing Razer logo. Up to 5 profiles can also be set using the configuration software , each with its own shortcut actions, DPI levels of up to 3500 and polling rates up to 1,000. However, switching profiles isn't easy since the button resides on the underside of the mouse; a dedicated profile button on the top would be more preferable.
In use, the Razer DeathAdder is incredibly comfortable with just the right amount of feedback and pressure, and for the right price too. It's a great mouse.

First Hour Hand-on Review
6th minute: Fits in the palm perfectly
15th minute: The profile-switching buttons are hard to access
30st minute: Great tracking
37th minute: Some rounds of Counter Strike: Source, a very solid performance in terms of mouse gilding and tracking, not too sure about individual kill/death ratio though
