The Razer DeathAdder gaming mouse has a long and iconic history — with good reason. It’s one of the most celebrated and time-tested mice on the market, and has a longer continuous production run than any other gaming peripheral I can think of. The company has made several updates and small iterations to it over the years, but the shape hasn’t really changed. It’s a large ergonomic mouse with excellent side buttons and great overall comfort.

In the tradition of their recent affordable Basilisk X and Orochi V2, the DeathAdder shape now joins the ranks of Razer’s capable budget wireless mice. This new X design keeps almost everything great about the more expensive versions of the mouse, while making some smart cuts and design tweaks to push the price down. If you’re looking for a larger mouse and don’t mind dealing with more weight than other popular options, it’s an amazing choice.

Note: I bought this mouse myself at Best Buy. I don’t receive any kind of kick back or incentive if you decide to buy one. I don’t use affiliate links. My full reviews policy is right here.
