There are a lot of different gaming mice out there but a lot of gaming mice on the market in my opinion kind of just over do it. They are just way to expensive or have to many unneeded features (like 12+ buttons, covered in rainbow RGB lighting, wireless or have a super weird shape/feel)I just need a simple gaming mouse…I was at tech-school for my training in the Air force (I know, weirdest place out of anywhere) and I had my gaming laptop mailed to me so on my days off, I could play games with my sister & friends. For a long time I used a basic Dell computer-lab work mouse, and it gets the job done but I thought maybe it was time for a fun upgrade. There was a GameStop at a mall and there I bought a white colored Razer DeathAdder Essential Gaming Mouse. I’m going to tell you now… I immediately LOVED it! Perfect balance of a gaming mouse with some cool features but not overdoing it. Exactly as it says in the name… it’s the basic essentials for a gaming mouse! And for the price of $30? Not bad at all.The size, shape and feel is really good. not overdoing it in my opinion, giving a great ergonomic feeling when in use. The two extra side buttons are great and not overbearing (like with some mice and their 6+ extra buttons all over the mouse) two, in my opinion, are just enough. Lastly the fact that it’s wired is nice, helps with price & simplicity. It has some RGB lighting but not all over the place or crazy so no complaints for that.I rebought one but in the color black so it better matches my laptop and gave my sister the white colored one. Had the white one for almost a year and had ZERO issues or problems with it. If you want a simple, nice and cool gaming mouse that is just the ESSENTIALS this is for you!!!!

I used a death adder about 10 years ago, loved it, did well in games. Now overtime I’ve used so many different mouses, most recently I used the Logitech Superlight, gave that away. From there I went to a Mionix pro castor, now switching to this. This mouse is amazing. The lights are bright, it feels and performs well. For $20, I may just stock up on a few of them for yearly replacements. Crazy good deal. Well done Razer.Also + for not making me sign into the Razer software, you can continue as a guest.

I haven’t used it for gaming, so i couldn’t recommend it for that, but for office and school tasks it’s perfect, you can’t change the light color, so keep that in mind. Is big in size, not thaaat big, but if you have small hands maybe go for another mouse, nice click sounds and very comfortable.

I got this mouse because I have used Razer products in the past and they have been good quality. I was specifically looking for a white mouse for my set-up, and I appreciate the solid white lights, as I am not a fan of color changing RGB lights in a mouse or keyboard. This is even more beautiful in person! The lights are bright, the white is vibrant, and it has an overall sleek look to it. The buttons are placed in a comfortable spot, and the size is perfect to just rest under my hand. For the price (I think I paid $20?) this is a great buy for the quality and aesthetic of the mouse, and it tracks perfectly on my computer.

treated this mouse in the worst way possible for one year and a half by bending the wires, throwing it around, using it on a bed instead of a mousepad, eating with greasy/dirty hands all of that and it’s only recently begun failing me (left click not working sometimes), so it’s beyond exceeded my expectations :Dalso never ever got scroll drift and i haven’t cleaned that wheel worth a damn since i opened the boxvery beautiful and smooth straight out of the box, felt like a hand ac when i first gottem. worth!!there is also an online program you can download if you like to customize stuff like dpi and the way the light glows^^

For the price I paid for this gaming mouse, I feel that it’s worth it. I looked at other reviews about this product and saw that some people were complaining about the scroll wheel breaking. I don’t think people understand that after so many years of use there is obviously going to be wear and tear. Things don’t last forever, nothing is built like it used to be in the past. This mouse is great quality and I use it everyday playing games on my laptop. The mouse is super smooth and durable (take care of your product, don’t beat it up! Just take care and use it properly and keep it clean!) When you first plug in the mouse there is a Razor software that you need to download to control the mouse scroll light and other cool features. You don’t need to download the other Razor software that prompts you to upgrade your PC Performance and graphics and other stuff. I tried that and it made my pc feel slow and weird so don’t download that if it prompts you it. Other than that buy this product its worth your time and money. Hope y’all enjoy!

This Razer DeathAdder Essential is a sleek sniper of gaming mice. The optical sensor ensures good aiming lands shots, while the fit cradles my hand, leaving me comfortable during all-night gaming sessions. The five programmable buttons offer sufficient customization to win games. It’s not just a mouse; it’s a weapon of choice for any serious gamer.

I am returning to this model from the newer death-adder elite model because i am tired of the frayed braided cable causing drag and nylon threads and using double sided tape to glue and re-stick the rubber sides that fall off.unlike that model this model uses rubber cable, no fraying, and textured sides are built into the mouse sides (just plastic). If you want extra grip on the mouse this model has no rubber side panels, great basic design, simple, and will last longer than the glued rubber sides.Super happy that you can set all the setting in razer synapse including lighting brightness and then the setting will be saved when you disable razer software in services.

It works great! If you happen to be used to the DeathAdder Elite mouse, this Essential model feels lighter and the grip is less rubbery than the Elite. Also the Essentials does not change colors; it is green
