Razer DeathAdder Mouse Gets an Update
Posted by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 11/21/2012 09:30 AM | 23 comment(s) ]
Razer introduced an updated version of its DeathAdder mouse. The new 2013 edition features a 4G infrared sensor with 6400 dpi and has additional rubber side grips for better mouse control. The DeathAdder 2013 is shipping for 69.99EUR ($69.99).
Razer, the world leader in high-performance gaming hardware, announced that its immensely popular DeathAdder mouse is upgraded and set for launch. Originally released in 2006, the Razer DeathAdder has become legendary for its combination of ergonomics and precision. It remains the world's best-selling gaming mouse, used by countless pro gamers in the circuit as their preferred weapon of annihilation.
The new Razer DeathAdder's optical sensor was upgraded from 3.5G to a cutting-edge 4G infrared sensor with improved performance and precision. It is the world's most powerful optical sensor, achieving up to 6400 dpi resolution without sacrificing the natural tracking feel of an optical sensor or yielding the robotic sensation of a comparable laser option.
The iconic right-handed ergonomic shape that gamers have come to love in the DeathAdder has been retained; however, it has been further enhanced with built-in textured rubber side grips for better mouse control and grip.
Like its predecessor, the new Razer DeathAdder will feature Synapse 2.0 support for effortless synching of settings and profiles automatically with the cloud. Razer Synapse 2.0 is an innovative proprietary software that intuitively functions as the Razer DeathAdder's brain – automatically syncing the gaming mouse to a remote server to download driver and firmware updates, as well as save individual game settings.
"We didn't want to fix anything that wasn't broken," said Robert "RazerGuy" Krakoff, president of Razer USA. "We focused instead on enhancing and optimizing the proven merits of the Razer DeathAdder, utilizing next generation technologies and further ergonomics tweaks to make a perfect gaming mouse even better."
About the New Razer DeathAdder
The Razer DeathAdder was released in 2006 and is still to-date the world's best-selling gaming mouse, used by countless pro gamers in the circuit as their de facto gaming mouse. The new DeathAdder iteration focuses on improving power, performance and control through hardware tweaks and software upgrades.

- 6400 dpi 4G Optical Sensor

Because if that was the case, just when your internet goes down and you decide to play a game to pass the time, you might not get your mouse to work how you like.
Or if you are gaming with a laptop on a train for example.
...
But we dont have to worry
I'm not enthused at having to create an account to use a mouse driver, but at least it isnt a deal breaker.
Once registered, Synapse 2.0 works offline and never needs to be online again. So basically, a user creates an account, saves initial settings, and if theres no internet connection, it doesnt matter ‐ settings are saved on the client PC and are not synced to the cloud. Synapse 2.0 works offline. (this is a quote from Razer)

I think I'll get that Synapse software for my Mamba.
btw, if you have an older DeathAdder and want an upgrade, you may choose from new DeathAdder and Mamba. They have virtually the same shape. Mamba introduced small dents on the sides to make it easier to pick up, then the new DeathAdder followed the same path.
If you want not-that super-expensive mouse, grab DA; if you want to pay a little extra for wireless and 2 extra buttons in LMB corner, grab Mamba. The only problems are price and that they're not as durable as the 1st DA.

If you don't like the Synapse software/driver why not just use the old one? Last I checked it is still available for download.

I was answering his hypothetical question, your point was already well covered and acknowledged.
Phazedelta provided the evidence.

Just bought a Deathadder 3.5G for less than $40 since my Diamondback died on me after years of service. I love the way the mouse fits into your hand nicely.

I love my Death Adder best mouse I have ever used but at the same time it's the first time I've paid $45 for a mouse. My lycosa keyboard however leave a little to be desired but still a good board.
