Maximum Speed and Accuracy
Veteran PC and Mac gamers know that it's an absolute necessity to have a good mouse when playing first-person shooters. Games like Unreal Tournament 3 and Call of Duty 4 rely on twitch reflexes and accuracy, and your kill/death ratio will drop if your hardware can't keep up with you.

Luckily, the DeathAdder has been specifically designed for maximum responsiveness and speed. It boasts a 1,800 dpi 3G infrared sensor, which enables pinpoint accuracy and tracking speeds 2.25 times faster than the standard 800dpi optical sensor. You'll frag your enemies before they even see you.

The DeathAdder also features 1000Hz Ultrapolling technology, which allows your mouse to keep up with your adrenaline. The mouse has a response time of 1ms, eight times faster than the 8ms response time found in conventional gaming mice. The ultra-wide 16-bit data channel also increases responsiveness, and guarantees latency-free gaming on all battlegrounds. If you're sniping an opponent from the other side of the map, you'll be sure to hit your mark.

That's not all -- with Razer's acclaimed On-the-Fly Sensitivity Drivers, you'll be able to switch dpi settings instantly, even in the midst of fierce combat. At the touch of a button, you can optimize your settings depending on your situation: increase your sensitivity for frantic close-quarters combat, or tone it down for deadly, methodical sniping.

Designed for Smooth, Comfortable Gaming
The Razer DeathAdder is designed to keep you at your sharpest, even after long periods of intense gaming. It features an ergonomic design that fits comfortably in your hand, ensuring that you won't cramp up. The rubber coated buttons are slip-resistant so your gaming won't be ruined by sweaty fingertips. And thanks to its ultra-slick Teflon feet, the DeathAdder glides more smoothly across surfaces than other mice, keeping you on target long after your opponents have lost their edge.

The Razer DeathAdder requires an Internet connection for driver support, 35 MB of hard drive space, and a USB port. It is compatible with Mac OS X (v. 10.4 and above) or Windows 7/Vista/Vista64/XP.

What's in the Box
Razer DeathAdder mouse, CD with drivers.

Best mouse for Mac December 21, 2008
The choices for mice for Mac are sparse. After trashing two Logitech mice in one year, I went with this gaming mouse and I have not been disappointed. Upon plugging it in, the scroll wheel glows. Upon booting, the logo fades on and off. Fortunately, upon installing the software I was able to disable or enable one or both of these features. The resolution, sensitivity, as well as mouse polling rate are all adjustable. It is also possible to tweak the x and y sensitivity individually. Aside from left, right, and wheel button there are two additional buttons on the left. All of these are programmable to issue keystrokes, functions, macros, or Mac-only functions such as "Dashboard." The movement and feel are far more consistent than other mice I've tried.

One of the nicest features is the on-the-fly sensitivity adjustment. Press down on the scroll wheel then scroll up and down. An optional heads-up display appears on the screen to make quick adjustments for game play or photo editing without the need to load back up the configuration tools. A quick reset button is conveniently located on the bottom to restore the mouse to factory defaults in the event of a melt-down.

This is very well constructed and the software is well polished. I'm using this on OS-X 10.4.11

Best mac mouse available February 10, 2009

I'm a frequent World of Warcraft player and was looking for a better mouse for my gaming. Since mac went Intel all mice, regardless of amount of buttons, are compatible. I went out and got the MS sidewinder for almost $90 thinking it would work. Once I hooked it up I realized that although the buttons worked fine, the actual features that make it great were all software and MS never made the drivers for mac. I've always admired the Razer mice when I saw them in the store, and the specs are great but it wasn't until I saw there was a mac specific version did I get one. Now don't be confused, this is the same deathAdder mouse for the PC, only difference is the back light glows white instead of the blue or red as PC offering and I'm pretty sure you can get the PC counterpart and just download the mac drivers. The important part here is the software. Its written for mac, sits in your applications folder and does a great job at fine tuning the mouse for your needs. Other then that the mouse is comfortable, very fast (when you want it to be) and aesthetically looks great. If you play one of the few games for mac you need to get this mouse. Amazons price is about $20 cheaper then via the Apple store or similar places.

I have not owned a wired mouse since the early 90s.

I am a World of Warcraft player, hunter class, and enjoyed learning all the techniques to maximize the gameplay. One of these is called a jumpshot, where I would be running away with my back towards the target, I leap into the air and spin back towards the target, shoot, and land facing away again. This is a tremendous technique, as hunters having a speed buff, I can outrun most of the opponents, and still shoot at them. This technique requires skill, and a lot of practice. Try as I might, I was never very good at it, and really did not feel confident to use this technique in actual matches. Needless to say, I was at a big disadvantage without this ability.

I happened to be talking with a friend about this, and he inquired about my mouse. Not really knowing, I told him I had a nice Bluetooth wireless mouse that I like a lot. He started to smile, and said, "just get a razer and a mousepad". A mousepad??? I have not had one of those since the days before optical sensors...and what is a "razer"?

Being a Mac guy, he told me to just get the DeathAdder for Mac, and one of their Destructor pads. Since Amazon lets me return anything I don't like, I bought the setup.

When they arrived I was impressed with the packaging and professional look of the items. I now understand Razer is the company for gaming mice, and I was about to understand why.
The mouse moves on the pad as if it was levitating. It feels almost spooky it is so smooth, like a ball bearing on glass. The mouse is designed to have a very light touch for click and right click, and feels great in my hands.

One of the main features is on-the-fly sensitivity adjustment. Push the mouse wheel down and dial the right sensitivity, even in-game. I open WoW and started trying the jumpshot. After only about a minute of trial-and-error adjusting the sensitivity...I was doing the move like a pro. I could not believe it...all this time I thought I did not have the coordination to do it, but I was wrong. Shortly after that, a number of my opponents were quickly dispatched and I earned a bunch of honor points that day.

OK, I got it...gaming mice have to be wired, special sensor, special pad...all worth it.

Now unfortunately, it is not all singing and dancing. The software for the DeathAdder is, in my opinion, god-awful. It is fragile, clumsy and as unintuitive as you could possibly imagine. I understand gaming is a Windows stronghold, and Razer only touts this one mouse model as Mac compatible, so I did not expect that they have a Mac programmer on staff. The key to Mac programmers, is that the Apple Human Interface Guidelines is the book they live by. Adherence to its principles guarantees user-centric, optimally-intuitive designs.

On the other hand, somebody simple porting a Windows app to the Mac provides none of this tuning that Mac users not only expect, but demand.

The mouse has five profiles in it that the user can switch to. This involves pushing a button on the bottom of the mouse, and watching to see the LEDs in the mouse flash the correct number of times to match the profile. In practice this is sooo clumsy, and many time would fail causing the mouse to freeze up, and requiring I unplug it and reconnect to reset the condition. I still cannot believe that the software does not contain the ability to automatically switch profiles when I switch applications. I don't want to think about it past when I programmed it...just switch when I open that app.

OK, I gave up on the stupid profiling thing...I have my Logitech MX mouse running, and when I switch to Warcraft, I reach for the DeathAdder and really love it. It is just sad that such a great device and pad has such lousy software. So buy one (don't forget the pad too) and enjoy your games a LOT more...but expect frustration from the software. I hope they make it right soon.
