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.
Product features:
- 6400 dpi 4G Optical Sensor
- Ergonomic right-handed design with textured rubber side grips
- Five independently programmable Hyperesponse buttons
- Razer Synapse 2.0 enabled
- 1000 Hz Ultrapolling/1 ms response

- Always-On mode
- 200 in. per sec. and 50 G of acceleration

- Gold-plated USB connector
- Seven-foot, lightweight, braided fiber cable
- Approximate size: 5.00 in./127 mm (Length) x 2.76 in. / 70 mm (Width) x 1.73 in. / 44 mm (Height)
- Approximate weight : 0.23 lbs./105 g

My deathadder has by far proved to be the best mouse i ever used. I hope it doesn't die for years to come. Anyways, this is good news that deathadder gets an update and i am surely going to grab one for my new rig.
Thanks for the info HH.

I loved my Deathadder.
But the new Razer drivers dont allow you to use the drivers features unless you are online.
For this reason I have stopped recommending Razer.
You can use older drivers ok still, but for new products needing a new driver, you are out of luck.

That's not true. You can still use the Synapse 2.0 software without internet access if you already have a Razer acount. The only time you need the internet is if you dont have an account and are just setting one up.

Processing is taking longer than expected. Youtube has been taking forever as of late to process videos.

No problem. it's just one less thing to knock of the Razer FUD list.

I got the 3.5G and when I came back at home to connect it ( ~one week ago or so ), I found out about the Razer Fiasco... Needless to say how bad I felt. Meanwhile I got it from a store far away and I didn't try to search if they gonna accept it back. Anyway, that's my last time I get a Razer product.
And by the way, what's this type of articles? It reminds me Techpowerup; the giant billboard... Well, enough. Too much whining in a single comment.

NiColaoS, I already made of an idiot of myself in this thread on the same topic, this should have let you avoid doing the same.
Unless you have some other reason for disliking Razer?
Check the posts above yours for clarity

I don't get why people complain about having to be connected to the net, I agree it used to be slow and intrusive. But the latest synapse is very good, connects and gets your settings loaded fast, doesn't get in your face, updates your drivers automatically. Its a great idea really and hopefully continues to improve.

The least of my worries. For some reason the scaling (interpolation) being used for DPI in the synapse drivers on the 3.5 DA feels weird and messed up compared to the old 450/900/1800/3500 settings.
Here's to hoping it doesn't feel ****ed up on newer hardware that was build with synapse in mind.
