I got this mouse today upgraded from the copperhead

alot more comfortable better tracking and fits like a glove
love it glides smoother too

anyone else love this mouse?
 
i was looking at his mouse awhile ago, the scroller on my g5 has broke and i need a replacement, my only concern is that i have big hands and i like to rest the palm of my hand on the mouse, my hand only just manages to fit around the g5 but still feels a bit squashed.

You wouldnt happen to know how wide this mouse is compared to the g5 would you? I know i can just read the specs, but the ammount of curvature is an important factor to consider if your hand fits on, was kinda hoping you may have used the two and know which has more room?
 
I think I have finally found the perfect mouse as well. I went from Razer diamondback - Logitech MX518 - Logitech G5 - Razer Copperhead - Logitech MX518 (again because I went through 2 copperheads that would keep breaking) - this mouse the Death Adder finally. That is in about the last year and a half maybe.

The mouse itself has about the perfect amount of curve to its base, but I have probably about average - a little bit larger than average hands. Where I would usually rest my hand on one side extremely awkwardly on the 518 it curves perfectly around the side. The G5 to me felt a little bulkier and didn't fit my hand nearly as well but it is really a matter of preference.

I have not had a whole lot of time to play games for the past few months, but it feels more than solid enough in games. This puppy just glides on my Steelpad 5L Musmatta with ease.

My only complaint so far is after using it now for a while my scroll wheel has become quite squeaky like it maybe needs to be oiled. It can be quite obnoxious late at night when the lady is trying to sleep.
 
For some reason I read Darth Vader and I was expecting some sort of geeky star wars piece of hardware... you know, something you're ashamed to own but that you still deeply love :p
 
Ya i love this mouse
its wider than the copperhead and feels a little bigger i love the razer buttons on their mice
its nice sound and feels like quality. They sell this mouse at bestbuy. you may be able to try it out in your hand with a display model
 
I just got mine today and so far so good. Still messing around with it. I wish the side was the same material as the top tho, but overall it feels really comfortable.
 
I could never get into it. Plus the mouse feet (like on all Razer mice) suck balls compared to the G5.
 
they improved the feet on it made them bigger
its basically a modified MIE3.0 shaped mouse
i like the rubber feel on top with the buttons it feels soft and smooth but yet grips your hand just right like a glove
the G5 feels heavy and slow
 
Looks very nice, but I like the freedom of a wireless mouse. Too bad Razer doesn't make a really nice wireless gaming mouse. I guess I'll have to be satisfied with my MX600 for now (hate the mail/IM buttons on the MX610!).
 
I tried it out today, and I just didn't like the feel of it.

I'm too stuck on the Logitech shape to change now.

Great looking mouse though.
 
I have one, and I like it. The shape is really close to an IME 1.0/2.0 - I rest my palm on the mouse but lift my fingers. It's lighter and smaller than a G5, but heavier and bigger than previous Razer mice. The rubbery top surface feels really comfortable (same stuff on the buttons of copperheads and diamondbacks I think). The side buttons are placed very well and they're easier to press than the ones on the G5/MX518 (for me at least). Tracking and precision are great... it's definitely a step up from a diamondback, which is what this is replacing.
 
Hmm I used to love the shape of the microsoft ergonomic mice. Had like 2-3 or those old white intellimouses I would keep around just in case however I've gotten used to my copperhead. I have no issues with it in anything so I wonder if it's worth it to upgrade. How much does the deathadder weigh in comparison to the copperhead? I think thats the copperheads best assest, that it doesn't weigh very much.
 
Doesn't look as ergonomic as my Logitech MX518 to me. I'll stick with what I have and when this one dies I will buy another MX518, if I still can.
 
Seems like this is the marmite of mouses then, and i guess ill have to buy one to find out if i 'love it or hate it'.
 
lol, when I posted this mouse on Deals section, everyone bashed it.
Now everyone loves it? :confused: :D
 
I wanted this one, but ended up with the Habu instead (the DA was sold out pretty much everywhere). I'm going to pick one up and then switch back and forth between the two, even though they're already non-identical twins. The one thing keeping me from Razer's mice was that they lacked any sort of shape and the ambidextrous design hurt my hand after a mere 20-30 minute session. Hopefully the Death Adder style is a new evolution for Razer.
