it's time for another review today and today's review is going to be of the Razer DeathAdder elite so the previous step address the chroma has been my daily driver for the past three years now and I really do love it so I'm pretty excited to try out the elite but before that I just want to thank you rebel tech for giving me the opportunity to try out the elite so if you are looking for any computer related products so check out variable takes online store they really do have the

best prices in South Africa starting on the left side of the leads where you get a pair of some buttons and a thumb grip the somebodies are quite large but that makes them easy to find and prince while you're in a heated battle but 90% of the time my thumb was on the rubber grip just below the bottom the grip is quite small but actually just the perfect size to fit your thumb the group does a very good job of preventing a thumb from sliding around things a bit sweaty

so you don't have to worry about losing grip which does came to happen on some mice when you're playing for a long period of time the less light does make it slice inwards curves as well but that just improves the comfort of the grip and the thumb button on the right side you get a slight angular outward curve and a bit larger rubber grip the curve is there so that your ring finger has some space to rest on top off it's not a full-fledged ring finger wrist but it does the job just as well like the left side the grip does a very good job of preventing your pinky from sliding

around when it gets a bit sweaty and because it's a bit bigger it doesn't matter where you put your pinky it will always be on top of the grip now the front is where the decider is lacking a bit I actually wanted them to add the Lamborghini style grills to the front like they did with the Nutter Kromah I don't know but that just looks really cool to me but anyway the braided fiber cable is 2.1 3 meters or 7 foot long with a cool green style USB connector the left and right mouse buttons has a bit of a curve to them as well but both are perfectly shaped to fit your

fingers rather use their mechanical math switches to give the button the extremely false response the left and right mouse buttons are quite sensitive and doesn't need a lot of pressure to press with the previous model which I had the right-click was even more sensitive and if you weren't used to it a lot of times you were press it by accident but with the elite the right click is a bit stiffer so you don't have to worry about accidentally pressing it between the left and right

mouse buttons is a scroll wheel which is RGB illuminated the school will has a tactile rubber grip which gives you more control while scrolling I perceive still like the previous model script which was just smooth with no bumps it just felt a bit more subtle but I do understand why they did it gamers want as much control as possible when gaming so a smooth surface isn't really that ideal for gaming but then just behind the scroll is a pair of DPI switches which

witches are a very welcome feature to the Death Adder series the previous model didn't have these and is something I really wanted they are thin and quite flat so you don't have to worry about them getting in a way but they are very easy to press while gaming so you don't have to worry about that also the elite doesn't have a dpi level indicator on the mouse itself and stays that added it to your computer so when you change the DPI levels a bar will appear on the right side of your screen telling you on what these are level you're on and I'd say this is a pretty cool

feature and are really likely a bit more back you get the form rich which has the iconic Roger snake logo which is full RGB you're able to change the color and the effects of both the logo and the scroll wheel in the synapse software which will get you a bit later the shape of the entire mouse is just perfectly sculpted to fit your hand it doesn't matter what self grip you use all of them would work with the elite but it is mostly for palm style grips users so just keep that in mind looking underneath the mouse you get two large anti-slip pads with the 5 g optical sensor

the two large glide pads really do make the mouths like loser compared to the previous model which only has three small ones the FRG optical sensor has a massive 16,000 dpi and an interest per second of 450 whereas the previous model only had a dpi of 10,000 and the inches per second of 200 so you won't ever have to worry about that your mouse isn't accurate enough also the previous cromoz optical sensor didn't really work on glossy surfaces like my white station

but the new 5g sensor doesn't have that problem and works perfectly on almost any surface I have to give it to Razer the Deaf Federal eat mice are probably the most comfortable mice ever well at least out of all the minds I have tested till now the design just fits the shape of an perfectly no matter what size hands you have I actually did ask a few non games to try the mouse out and hear what they thought about it before trying it out they say that it's way too big but then they immediately change their minds after they put their hands on it even the admin

woman who uses our stupid tiny mice okay so let's quickly take a look at the synapse software that you can go download from razors website first off we have the customization tab where you can select the profile you can create one delete one you can import an export one as well you have your profiles over here you can link a program so let's say you want the specific key say to link to your premier so you can just link that to premier and then it'll save all the buttons you assign to that software you have the warranties down here which you can register down

you will you will have all your razor products so just to switch between them easily then you have your button so all the nine buttons you can click on one and then select assignment to them they say you want to have multimedia you can say volume down for or mute white or whatever to that specific button even your scroll wheel so you can customize all of those next up we have the performance here you have your dpi levels and everything you configure the

sensitivity stages over here for each of the five sensitivity levels you can change the DPI levels you can add acceleration to it if you want to you can even as change the polling rate which is cool after that we have the lighting so let's go take a look first off we add the static normal color it's just a single color so let's create song that to red just show you guys boom there we go also that we can look at the breathing of fate looks like that all now it's going to switch b3 between

the green and red just like that so you can even change this to random color which is just going to speed in and out of a color the software selects so that's pretty straightforward you have the reactor this is for if you press on the mouse itself it's going to light up you can do it short you can do your in different colors you can do it long lists take it there so that's going to have the lighting effects for a longer time and you can even select the spectrum cycle of face this is the standard one which is just going to go through all sixteen point eight million colors

unfortunately can't change the speed so it's just one speed so that's unfortunate you do have the static like I said where you can assign all the colors you can go to custom and make the color you want so well it also linked the zones otherwise you can select the scroll wheel or just the logo and do this for each of them as well so this is also you have your brightness you can turn on them or all the way to the brightness and then here you have if you switch off your computers and it's going to switch the mouse the light thing as well I like it into just on even as

nice okay so now what's the good and the bad aspects about the yearly the gubins are extremely comfortable design the super accurate sensor the DVI switches the software and of course the beautiful RGB illumination but unfortunately the bad ones are it's a bit pricey it doesn't feature removable white although it is the perfect weight for me a lot of people might want to make it a bit heavier it have a bit of a cheap plastic feel to it although it won't break that easily and then the biggest downside has to be that it doesn't feature the Lamborghini front

girl I'm really disappointed about that one so in the end the super comfortable design combined with the extremely accurate sensor makes a divider elite one of the best FPS mice out there you will never feel that your mouse is the thing that's keeping you back okay so that's my review of the Razer DeathAdder Elite so I really do like the smell like I said the previous day far as being my daily driver for the past three years now and they are really amazing mice so I actually teamed up with rebel tech to give away this day fighter elite so you can actually win the smells at a thousand subscribers so we're almost there pretty amazing

actually go buy it on Riverside store and by using the promo code on here you'll actually get
off so that's pretty cool so go check out the robotics website if you do the check out you can put in the promo code you'll get
off so that's really awesome or a voltaic okay but back to the giveaway unfortunately the giveaways only force of African subscribers unfortunate icon shipping overseas it's mostly for South Africa so sorry about that perhaps later on I will do international giveaways but at the moment not yet so how the giveaway is

going to work is you have to watch this review like you probably just did out fully and and then comment on the video what you liked about the mouth so they say the show you could feel or whatever and then also write the reason why you would want to win the mouth but it has to be humorous so for example let's say you want to win the mask because you want to go into space to defeat the alien watermelons something stupid like that so just add a joke in there and the

way I'm going to select the best one is actually you guys are going to choose three of them so the three top comments I'm going to choose and then I'm going to choose one out of those three so anybody actually can shut the stand a chance to win the mouth so if you really do want to you can ask your friends to come and like your comment

Razer DeathAdder Elite Gaming Mouse: 16,000 DPI Optical Sensor review

razors that other series of gaming mice is probably one of their most recognisable products out there waiting back to almost ten years ago on that note today I'll be checking out yet another version from that series the latest and upgraded Death Adder Elite model as per usual on the front you will find a picture of the mouse itself together with the Chrome RGB lighting feature pointed out in the right bottom corner going to the back you will find your common rundown of

other features like sensor switches and ergonomics well on the bottom we have some basic specifications listed out as well as which operating systems are supported opening up the box here we have some user manuals thank you note from the Razer CEO and Razer logo stickers and here's the mouse itself as you can probably see design and ergonomics wise the Death Adder elite is completely the same compared to its predecessors we have the familiar sloping line and shell uniquely curved and contoured left and right mouse clicks coupled with above-average build quality although it's mostly soft touch plastic with some rubber inserts on the left

and right bottom side for better grip but there is one change which is visible from the outside and that's the addition of two dedicated buttons on the top by default they're used for dpi Tom link no surprise there but you can of course change that if you wish so bottom line these are going to be a good bone and since this version of that either now has a total of seven buttons together with your usual array of others speaking of that razor co.design their mechanical

switches for the Death Adder elite with Omron which is yet another new thing about this model rating them at 50 million clicks I actually quite liked them especially the side buttons they have a pretty long travel and deep click sound although they're maybe just a bit too mushy for my taste together with the left and right click but still quick nevertheless the scroll wheel is also really good with distinctive steppings very satisfying and firm middle-click coupled with RGB

LED ring lighting turning the Death Adder elites onto its back you'll be looking at razors new 5g optical sensor which tracks up to 16,000 dpi at 450 IPs placed between two big teflon feet on the top and bottom edge I'll talk about the sensor more and my experience with it a bit later on lastly we have this 2 point 1 meter long braided and very thick Mouse cable with a gold plated USB connector end together with the mouse I had a chance to try out razors also new

mousepad called gigantis the limited black edition one in particular as the name suggests and as you can see this pad is really big and it was a pure hit for me for that matter as I really love these types of big mouse pads especially ones made with this cloth like material while this model also brings in rubberized back and anti phrase teaching in terms of the use the DeathAdder elite is basically the same compared to its older brothers when it comes to it suits my poem

really good size-wise it feels just right when holding it although take note that I have maybe a bit bigger hands than your average user the mouse weighs just above the 100 gram mark which makes it overall just a tad heavier compared to its main rivals nevertheless it's very precise and performs great especially in hearthstone just kidding guys of course yes it's also good for hearthstone and everyday using Windows environment but I've tried it somewhere else to overwatch and Battlefield one in particular and basically I don't have any complaints

whatsoever about it in terms of its performance it was next to flawless in almost every aspect of it bringing OnPoint accuracy and great response especially on this mousepad more so as you can tweak everything up to utilize detail and personal preference in Razer synapse application up here you can set up your acceleration pulling rate liftoff distance which can actually be really low for what I saw with my testing especially after Mouse beta calibration which is also done using this software and of course your usual things like changing the DPI and setting up

different dpi lele's creating individual game profiles reprogram the keys and record macros and of course last but not the least change the color and effects of RGB LED lighting that's it guys for this time for me

the gaming community is always searching for the mouse that is equipped with an executed sensor and high DPI in order to respond quickly and effectively during your gameplay I'm sure that one of the companies which first pops into your mind when someone talks about gaming peripherals is Razer they have proven over the years that their peripherals headphones or keyboards always look aggressive like every gamer would like to see what the quality is always

their top priority so this time we're going to make a detailed review of a Death Adder Elite which is an extremely responsive eSports gaming mouse that shines with its design and capabilities from a design perspective the Death Adder elite measures 5 inches in length 2.76 interesting with 1.73 inches in height with an approximate weight of 0.23 pounds or 100 ft five grand for those who prefer the metric system the mouse is ergonomically contoured on both

sides with the intention to naturally fit the shape of your right hand while on the bottom left there is a rubber side grip that is placed there to serve as a rest for your thumb the only remark to have for the mouse is that it was not meant for left-handed people so if you belong to this group of people it won't really like it but for right-handed it is perfect there are also two small programmable buttons which are placed below the scroll wheel on top of the mouse and they

work for custom actions such as back and forward they are strategically placed and have the right distance from the grip for ensuring that you won't click on them accidentally the mouse overall features a low profile that is composed of math plastic surface let's feels really soft and comfortable underneath your hand while the other side thinks these color switching capabilities it will surely upgrade your gaming mmm the left and the right click buttons feature grooves which will allow you to release your fingers on one side while on the other it helps you respond

quickly during your most dynamic and intense gaming moments Razer claims that this model's mechanical switches are durable enough to last up to 50 million clicks so that's fantastic indeed the DeathAdder lead is really eye-catching mouse see in the scrolling wheel and the Razer logo are both illuminated and you will be given an option to customize lighting colors from more than 16.8 the colors by using the Razer synapse configuration software but we will talk more about the software soon a really interesting thing about the scrolling wheel except for the

shining part is that Razer made it a bit more of a tactile instead of an ordinary wheel so thanks to this textured grip you'll have a superb feedback on the bottom of the mouse there is a sensor with a dpi sensitivity that ranges from 100 to 16,000 dpi making it a true beast in addition the two oversized Teflon feet are placed at the bottom part or more precisely above and below the optical sensor and they will help you achieve a faster swipe rate when you have a mouse pad

placed underneath but now let's talk about the connectivities and the included software which will help you make a variety of modifications for matching and finding your style the DeathAdder lead is not a wireless mouse nor a wireless option but usually the word gaming mice perform better it's gold plated USB connector will boast a high level of durability and a better context since gold cannot oxidize so from that perspective you'll be more secure but

nothing more than that the cable that holds this gold plated USB connector is made of a braided fiber and it's about 7 inches long so that's more than enough length for having a distraction-free gaming time you can take an advantage of the synapse 2.0 and adjust the overall Mouse based on your preferences or to be more precise you can adjust the RGB Lightning's calibrate the mouse to suit different surfaces adjust the DPI and much more the

software as a whole is really intuitive and you won't deal with any orientation problems since every tab will inform you what it is about there are eight lightning modes such as a spectrum cycling breathing static reactive wave starlight ripple fire and each of them is unique for example the spectrum cycling mode will cycle through all colors and display each of them while the breathing mode fades in and out one or two colors at most which you previously have

choose them in addition the static as the name says will only choose one color and it will stay on that color while the reactive mode is going to display all the LEDs upon most active occasion and it will stay lit in either short medium or long mode before it finally fades away from a performance of feature perspective the DeathAdder elite is incredibly accurate because it has a resolution accuracy of up to ninety nine point four percent so you can easily eliminate all of

your targets and be a serious player in any game you will to play the Elise mechanical switches are extremely responsive and you will love playing FPS games such as csgo Babji overwatch and more where the first response time is a key for success this model will be of a huge help if you're playing strategic games such as League of Legends Starcraft and every series of total war where most of the time you'll have to use a mouse since the keyboard will only serve as a

support for using the controls regardless of how long you've been gaming there won't be any sign of fatigue due to the ergonomic design that will easily suit even those people that have big hands while on the other side it won't sleep off your hand even if your hand is sweaty I want to mention that the Death Adder elite features an ultra polling rate of up to thousand Hertz and acceleration of 50 G where G stands for gravity and non cramps and those two things combined

make it one of a kind and one of the best gaming mice in the market for your information the G acceleration means that regardless if you move the mouse at fast or slow speeds it will always respond on screen with unreal accuracy overall you should definitely take the data thoroughly into consideration due to its incredible speed and it's reasonable price with this mouse the chances of winning are always high because of its advanced optical sensor and its mechanical

mass switches which will deliver on a real responsiveness that translates into an amazing gaming experience
