The product in general

Features

The main feature of DR is the optical sensor which has been upgraded since the original Deathadder. The change is from 1800 to 3500 DPI, which is something I will get to later.

Of other great features there is the braided wire. Though found on several of Razer’s mice, it is still a nice and clever little detail.

Finally there are the buttons – it is often difficult to find your way around a gamer mouse, for they can be filled with a veritable cornucopia of buttons. That is not the case with DR. Razer may have employed some “back to basics” thinking, as DR “only” comes with five buttons. That means you only find two buttons on the side.

The buttons can – along with other settings – be configured via the driver.

Buttons & wheel

The buttons and wheel are, as is always the case with Razer mice, a delight. Feel and response are fantastic, and the buttons are quick, which is often important as you engage in battle in the virtual world.

The wheel may feel a bit cheaper than on other mice from Razer. It is still very nice to use, but nevertheless not quite as good as some of Razer’s high-end mice.

When talking buttons, we have to mention DR’s lack thereof. While it can get a bit over the top with a billion buttons, only two extra feels a bit cheap. I personally would have preferred at least two more than that.

Precision

DR can now pride itself with a better optical sensor than the original, and it really delivers. The mouse flows steadily and precisely around the screen. That counts for both standard use, FPS gaming and indeed creating the pictures for this review. It works wonders in all tasks and is a steady and high performer, and if there are any issues with the pictures, yours truly is the cause – not the mouse.

All in all, DR does really well in terms of precision.
