Mediocre goods, most likely I will not use.

Before Razer, there was a Roccat Kone Pure mouse, but after 5 years of work, Double Click appeared and then the choice fell on the Razer DeathAdder Essential. This model attracted attention with its simplicity and reliability - the model has been produced for several years. Special thanks for the large side buttons Forward & Back - they are pressed gently, they work quickly!

Pros

Dimensions - ideal for a large hand, fingers do not get tired during work and joints do not hurt. A tenacious grip of the mouse due to the matte surface of the case. Thank you for not having soft touch coverage! The body of the mouse does not play, does not creak, does not crack. Large side buttons - Forward & Back. Fast gliding on a mat with a smooth surface (speed version) and accurate sensor operation at different DPI values (basic work from 1800). Rubberized scroll wheel with a pleasant stroke and finger fixation, does not creak and does not make much noise. Soft braided cable without bends with a long fixation at the beginning of the mouse body. Workhorse for work and play with an affordable price (took for 1990).

Cons

Not very user-friendly Razer Synapse 3 software - the interface and Chroma functionality setup sequence makes you read manuals from the manufacturer. If we compare it with the software from Roccat and Steelseries, where everything is intuitive, then here, I had to spend time setting it up for myself. There is no variety of color indication of the mouse, only green (branded) color. There is no central button for changing DPI (dots per inch) - I assigned the F5 functionality to this button (therefore, I assigned the F5 functionality to the central press of the scroll). No native support for Asus Aura. ate 06/19/21: A few months after the purchase, the wheel creaked when scrolling, the sensitivity of the wheel dropped. ate 06/28/2022: We exchanged a defective mouse for a new copy under warranty. Now the scroll works fine. ate 08/11/2022: A few months later, phantom jerks appeared again when scrolling up and down, the sensitivity of the wheel dropped. As a result, I switched to ASUS ROG Gladius II Origin.

Its pros: Cool mouse in itself, sits comfortably in the hand Its cons: the left mouse button lags (for me personally) it's a pity that there is no chroma
