The Deathadder’s ergonomic shape is gentle and devoid of severe curves and arches.

It doesn’t have to be just green! (Credit: Razer) But the Razer Deathadder’s shape, design, features, and even price point place it so squarely in the center of all gaming mice that it’s obvious to see why it continues to be one of Razer’s biggest sellers. Granted, everyone has their own preferences usually dictated by hand size and their favorite games. The Deathadder in sticks to the basics and it is designed to have the broadest possible appeal for gamers of all types.

2.13 m / 7 ft., lightweight, braided fiber cable.200 inches per second / 50 G acceleration.5 Independently programmable buttons (Left, Right, Middle, and two thumb buttons).Independent lighting for the scroll wheel and Razer logo.Chroma lighting with 16.8 million customizable color options.Ergonomic right-handed design with textured rubber side grips.Taking the ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ approach, Razer (wisely) didn’t mess their otherwise perfect formula.

If you’re right-handed and 2 extra buttons are all you want or need (and they are likely enough for many of us), then the Razer Deathadder is among the best gaming mice you can own. It’s a simple 5-button mouse (Right/Left/Scroll + 2 thumb buttons) that occupies the virtual middle ground of gaming mice in price (around $70) and features, with a gentle, right-handed ergonomic design and 2 large, easy-to-reach thumb buttons. The Deathadder 2014 Chroma edition is really just a modest refresh of Razer’s perpetually popular and best-selling Deathadder gaming mouse. Otherwise the Deathadder Chroma retains the design, features, and performance characteristics of its predecessors - which may be as close to ‘perfect’ as you can get for a ‘generalist’ gaming mouse.

The Razer Deathadder 2014 Chroma edition is a refresh of Razer’s popular gaming mouse, with some minor improvements under the hood that include an improved sensor and independent, color-changing LEDs.
