Five independently programmable Hyperesponse buttons give you a competitive edge. View larger. | Maximum Speed and Accuracy
Veteran PC and Mac gamers know that it's an absolute necessity to have a good mouse when playing first-person shooters. Games like Unreal Tournament 3 and Call of Duty 4 rely on twitch reflexes and accuracy, and your kill/death ratio will drop if your hardware can't keep up with you. Luckily, the DeathAdder has been specifically designed for maximum responsiveness and speed. It boasts a 1,800 dpi 3G infrared sensor, which enables pinpoint accuracy and tracking speeds 2.25 times faster than the standard 800dpi optical sensor. You'll frag your enemies before they even see you. The DeathAdder also features 1000Hz Ultrapolling technology, which allows your mouse to keep up with your adrenaline. The mouse has a response time of 1ms, eight times faster than the 8ms response time found in conventional gaming mice. The ultra-wide 16-bit data channel also increases responsiveness, and guarantees latency-free gaming on all battlegrounds. If you're sniping an opponent from the other side of the map, you'll be sure to hit your mark. That's not all -- with Razer's acclaimed On-the-Fly Sensitivity Drivers, you'll be able to switch dpi settings instantly, even in the midst of fierce combat. At the touch of a button, you can optimize your settings depending on your situation: increase your sensitivity for frantic close-quarters combat, or tone it down for deadly, methodical sniping. Designed for Smooth, Comfortable Gaming
The Razer DeathAdder is designed to keep you at your sharpest, even after long periods of intense gaming. It features an ergonomic design that fits comfortably in your hand, ensuring that you won't cramp up. The rubber coated buttons are slip-resistant so your gaming won't be ruined by sweaty fingertips. And thanks to its ultra-slick Teflon feet, the DeathAdder glides more smoothly across surfaces than other mice, keeping you on target long after your opponents have lost their edge. The Razer DeathAdder requires an Internet connection for driver support, 35 MB of hard drive space, and a USB port. It is compatible with Mac OS X (v. 10.4 and above) or Windows 7/Vista/Vista64/XP.

 It's okay November 20, 2009

pretty good mouse, good $price$ for the quality but things like this are personal preference.
I also change mice at the same rate normal people change there desktop wallpaper/background
Paired with a Logitech illuminated keyboard= Match made in white led heaven. November 13, 2009
Richard (Southern California)
I bought a Mac Mini and wanted a mouse that worked with my pc and mac together with a kvm switch. I found the perfect match with this Razer Death Adder Mac edition. I also have a Logitech illuminated keyboard and it also has white leds so both this mouse and the keyboard match perfectly. I got tired of the blue leds most keyboards have and the red is too much. I think the white is the perfect balance and looks very elegant. The software works perfect on my mac and is really necessary to make all the buttons do what I want. This mouse works perfectly with no software on the pc for my needs.
Solid choice. November 11, 2009
J. Song (CA, USA)
I was thinking of buying either the new Magic Mouse (which I tried at an Apple Store) or this mouse, and I went with the DeathAdder. I'm not a gamer - I bought it for web browsing and video editing. So I bought this mouse because it was cheaper, and it looked more comfortable.
Though it isn't cheap, I am very satisfied with it so far. It may be bigger than you think if you're thinking of the size of a normal mouse (one that comes with desktops). So it's not ideal for carrying around. But that means it's really comfy (surface feels solid, not cheap) and your hand can fully rest on it. The cord is pretty long, so if you're using MacBook Pro you might want to tie up the cord with the included cord band, or whatever it is called.
I'm using mine with 15" MacBook Pro, and surfing the web feels a lot different how that I'm sitting back and reaching the computer only for keyboard. I got really used to the multitouch touchpad and I thought this mouse may not be as fast as the touchpad when I need the mouse to move quickly across the screen. But I was wrong - it's definitely fast, and I'm guessing it's faster than the Magic Mouse at highest setting.
The included software for Mac is v1, and you can download v2 at the website. You can adjust sensitivity (x and y-axis if you'd like), turn on/off acceleration, white light at scroll wheel and body, and set how you want to use the buttons. I'm using the scroll wheel click for Show All Windows, and side buttons as go back/go forward (delete, shift + delete). You can set the buttons to change sensitivity (On-The-Fly), dpi, polling rate, etc.
I haven't peeled off the plastic cover at the bottom but it's working with no problem. Bottom of the mouse doesn't light up. At 1800dpi I feel it's as darn accurate as it can be for an average user like me.
Also, the scroll wheel - I was a little worried about getting used to the scroll wheel again. But I found scrolling through long pages to be fairly effortless, and in most cases you probably won't need to deal with scrolling through long pages.
As of now (end of day 1) I am completely satisfied with the mouse. I recommend getting a mouse pad (cheap one is fine) with it if you don't already have one.
Works well with both Mac OS and Windows October 16, 2009
Jaewoo Kim (Santa Monica, CA)
I have a MacBook Pro setup to dual boot to either Mac OS(Snow Leopard) or Windows Vista. This mouse works well on both OS and it comes with drivers for both Mac and Windows (you can also obtain the latest drivers from the internet).
This is not a cheap mouse and it doesn't feel cheap. It is made of high quality plastic. The top portion has a plastic+rubber feel that gives this mouse an extra grip for sweaty palms and slippery hands. The mouse buttons provide precise feedback and allows faster clicking than on a conventional mouse. The scroll button also has a feeling of quality and precision. The click pressure of the scroll button is set exactly at the right level. The laser sensor has upto 1800 DPI that allows for faster and more precise mousing. The mouse is also slightly heavier than most mouses and it does not feel flimsy. If you have a conventional laser mouse, this mouse will certainly be an improvement.
The software that comes with the mouse allows for full customization of its 5 keys (left, right, scroll, two buttons on the side). You can also control its DPI levels and the speed of its click responses. The settings are practically identical on both Mac and Windows drivers.
This mouse is superior to the Apple Mighty Mouse (worst Apple product in my opinion). If you are looking for the best Mac mouse, then this mouse should fit all your mousing needs.
 Update drivers for best performance. October 11, 2009
Ryan H. Stahl (Ohio)
This mouse was bought to use with a Macbook Pro while playing World of Warcraft. It has a comfortable feel and seemingly solid construction. I was a little disappointed in its "out of the box" functionality as it required a driver update to enable the mouse steer function to work in game. Once the new software was up and running it does a fine job at filling the role it was purchased for. A quick Google search cleared things up for me but the number of posts on Blizzard's forum asking for tech support for this particular device suggest that Razer could do more to have their product better prepared to meet the world.
