It is designed to fit a wide range of hand sizes. This helps it look like a big mouse while feeling smaller in hand. The arched back peaks at the ball of your hand (just below your fingers) and then gently angles to the back of the mouse. The side profile view of the Deathadder Elite really helps give you an idea of its shape. The Elite also has the same flat black finish that most Deathadders have had, in fact, most would have a hard time telling the Elite apart from the original Deathadder. It is a medium height, tilted slightly to the right, and ergonomic enough to fit your hand without adding flares between fingers and other features you see on ergonomically shaped mice. That shape is so popular that companies like Zowie have based their entire line on it, SteelSeries had the Sensei with a similar shape, and many other companies have had similar designs. While the shape isn’t for everyone, it does touch on the shape of the old Microsoft mice. If you have never tried out a Deathadder in the past you are missing out.

You get a manual and then a printed letter from the Razer CEO. Beyond the mouse, there is just a small bundle of papers inside for documentation.
This is interesting because this would normally mean the box has a front door to get your hands on the mouse but they didn’t go that direction. Inside the box, the mouse sits in a green tray that slides out and it has a plastic cover around the mouse. I do wish the packaging had a front that would open and let you feel the shape of the mouse, though, that is always nice when checking them out in store. The box has a ribbon loop up top for hanging it. On the back things are very simple with drawings and short descriptions of three of the Deathadder Elites key features. The razer logo is up in the top right corner and there is a photo of the mouse along with the product name down in the bottom left corner. The front of the box is black with green trim. Seven-foot, lightweight, braided fiber cableġ27 mm / 5 in (Length) x 70 mm / 2.76” (Width) x 44 mm / 1.73 in (Height)Įven 10 years later, the packaging for the Deathadder Elite really isn’t very different from the boxes back in the day. Razer Chroma™ lighting with 16.8 million customizable color options I’ve been testing them out and today I’m going to see what they are all about and how they perform.Įrgonomic right-handed design with textured rubber side gripsħ independently programmable Hyperesponse buttons Razer sent over the Elite for me to check out and slipped in the Firefly RGB mousepad. It has the same shape that everyone loves but has a new 5g optical sensor and for the first time, Razers own mechanical mouse switches. The newest Deathadder is the Deathadder Elite. It’s crazy how much things have changed while at the same time the Deathadder in its different variations is still one of the go-to mice on the market.

At that time if you built a new PC you might be sporting a newly launched Intel Core 2 Duo or an AMD Athlon 64 FX CPU with your new GTX 7900 GTX or Radeon X1900. It’s hard to believe it, but Razer launched the original Deathadder just over 10 years ago.
