Review: The Razer Deathadder elite is a great gaming mouse for people with larger hands, it fits my hand great without any of the buttons being a pain to use even for the claw grip that I use when gaming. The 4 base DPI settings offer a decent range to choose from, while you can also use the Razer app to customize your DPI, the buttons, and even the RGB to your liking.

     I have used this mouse for years and never had a problem with it other than the wire became hard and began to crack on the first one so I bought a new one, the new mouse came with a much better wire which is braided and seems to not be as stiff as the original so this should not be a problem in the future. 

    Gaming with the deathadder is very smooth, I have not felt any input lag in the hundreds of hours I've put into various FPS games including CSGO and most recently COD Warzone.  The customizable buttons allows me to set things up how I prefer and even allows me to change the DPI buttons to something more useful such as profiles for different games. Profiles allow you to have different set ups for each game that you may play, I personally have custom DPI and buttons for games like fallout new vegas where I need a very low DPI, and the sims where I can set up certain commands to a quick button. 

Overall Score: 8.5/10

Why: The mouse is great and sells for a decent price but needing proprietary software to customize your mouse will always lose points with me. overall I'd still recommend it for anyone who needs a mouse that will last them for years.
