Great quality for an affordable price.

The Razer Deathadder Essential is part of Razer's best selling and legendary Deathadder lineup of gaming mice, and while most of its "cousins" tend to lean on the pricier side, the Essential is one that definitely stands out from the rest. I bought this for less than $30, but I feel like I got way more than what I paid for because it doesn't feel like an entry level gaming mouse at all. It's surprisingly light and its ergonomic design is perfect for my hand size. Some of the mice that I used in the past would cause me to feel small levels of discomfort after hours of continuous use, but this was not the case with the Deathadder Essential. I used it for more than about 5 hours straight and I didn't feel any discomfort or numbness around my fingers at all. It's durable enough to last for up to 10 million clicks, and unless you double click the left and right mouse buttons with the speed of a raging jack rabbit during mating season, I doubt you're gonna be able to get through all of those clicks in the next 5 years or so. Some of the reviews that I've read here have aired complaints about the bloatware that comes with it, but for me it wasn't really an issue. When you first plug in the mouse it will require you to install Razer Synapse where you can sign up with Razer and customize your mouse as you see fit. I only customized the lighting options as the games that I play really aren't that heavy on macros. The Synapse software is pretty intuitive and easy to navigate, so most users shouldn't have a problem understanding it after a few minutes of tinkering with its settings. My only complaint about the Deathadder essential would have to be the material used for its build. I'm not saying it's flimsy and breaks easily, but it doesn't feel as "aesthetically pleasing" as its more expensive counterparts. The quality is decent, make no mistake about it, but I guess for less than $30 you really can't expect it to look and feel like the Razer Mamba or Deathadder V2. Final Verdict: The Deathadder Essential is a very good option for those who want to purchase a basic and affordable gaming mouse that feels great, works great, and has a pretty neat look to it.

High performance, low quality - TERRIBLE warranty support.
By Magnus on Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2022
So the mouse is great, when it works - and thats the issue. We all prefer to have products where support doesn't matter because it isn't needed but this is not such a product, and the product support is absolutely terrible. The mouse has scroll wheel issues (google it) that causes your screen to jump up and down as you scroll and it gets worse with time. I've contacted support and they take forever to reply many days. I got the first reply in 3ish days which I replied to instantly (they asked for proof of purchase which they could have done initially when they ask for other information but I suspect this is a tactic to make you give up) - another week goes on without replies and I call the support. They say my proof of purchase is good, the case is good, and escalates to the warranty department. They email me back in about 24h to tell me that I sent the proof of purchase in the wrong file format and to please send the correct format. I do this and I call the support back which tells me theres nothing they can do because the warranty department won't talk on the phone. I first started my support journey on Aug 22nd, and today is Sept 2nd and I've gotten absolutely nowhere - I don't know what will happen but I'll update to let y'all know if you at least get help if you can be bothered to be persistent. I've had another razer product in the past that also broke down but I bought it used to so no recourse - this doesn't happen to Logitech and Microsoft mice (well, I'm sure it does but so far I've never had a mouse die except the only two razer mice I've ever owned) so I don't know whats up with the quality and when it isn't backed up by good support it's very hard to recommend their products even if they do indeed perform well while they work!
