Title: Amazing! HOWEVER, as an artist...
Review: This mouse has great DPI control and reacts fast. It feels extremely comfortable on my hands and the scroll wheel is smooth like butter. I'd give it 10/10 but sadly will have to give it a 9/10, as when this mouse is plugged in and functioning, it cancels out/interrupts my drawing tablet's touch sensor. So typically when I'm drawing, I have to switch back to a crappy mouse instead of this one.Other than that, 10/10. Responsive, comfy, pretty, lightweight, and very smooth. It pairs amazingly with the Razer Synapse app too, so changing the brightness on an eye-sensitive night is great. Amazing!

Title: Fantastic Performance – Glides Smoothly Without a Mousepad!
Review: The Razer DeathAdder Essential Gaming Mouse has been an excellent addition to my setup. It works flawlessly, providing precise and responsive tracking that’s perfect for both gaming and everyday use. What really impressed me is how well the mouse glides over my wooden table without the need for a mousepad. The feet are incredibly smooth, allowing for effortless movement across the surface with no drag or issues.The ergonomic design is comfortable for long gaming sessions, and the build quality feels solid. It’s lightweight, but still durable enough for heavy use. For the price, this mouse offers exceptional value and performance. If you’re looking for a reliable gaming mouse that works great on almost any surface, this is a perfect choice!

Title: Perfect!
Review: I was looking to replace my wireless mouse. I had a Bluetooth wireless mouse for a few years before it just gave out. The mouse cursor just wouldn't move on the screen and it didn't matter if I changed the battery or try to fix it using some Reddit source, nothing worked. I researched wireless mice varieties to try and find a great replacement and after talking with a gamer, I decided I didn't actually need something that was wireless. I am so glad I went with this mouse! I love the design, it is so sleek and I love the green accent. It lights up when you use it. It's just really pretty. But the connectivity is far superior to a wireless mouse. The ease of use and the reaction time of the mouse is far superior to a wireless mouse. I also don't have to worry about that mouse cursor freezing or unresponsiveness because of the Bluetooth capability. The buttons are also very responsive and handling the mouse is very comfortable. Overall, if you want a reliable mouse, be willing to pay for reliable mouse. This one was worth it and I do recommend it!

Title: Wonderful value, but expect scroll wheel malfunction after 6-12 months
Review: I've owned several Razer mice, none preowned: a DeathAdder 3500 back in 2010 that lasted ~7 years before it started clicking on its own, a Mamba Elite (wired) in 2021 that had just outlasted its warranty when the scroll wheel malfunctioned, and this white DeathAdder Essential, which lasted 13 months before having the same scroll wheel malfunction.Of the three, I like the design of this one more than the others. Visually, it's sleek, simple, and nearly symmetrical -- only as asymmetrical as is necessary to be ergonomic. In contrast to the black with green light, the white with white light is very pretty without standing out glaringly as a gaming mouse. Also, the inevitable buildup of gunk is visible enough on the white to know when you've fully cleaned it, but somehow less nasty looking than on a black mouse, in my opinion. Aside from the eventual malfunction (which I'll address in a moment), all of the aspects of functionality are perfectly satisfying to me. More serious gamers explain that better than I can. The volume of the clicks and scrolls is pleasant and within a normal range. For $20, this is an EXTREMELY good mouse.Others have described the scroll wheel malfunction, but in short, during a scroll the input is interrupted by movement in the opposite direction. Scrolling downward, it will jitter upward in the middle of the scroll, and visa versa. For office use and games where scrolling controls camera zoom, it's just an annoyance. For games where scrolling selects items on a toolbar, it's an actual problem. With the Mamba Elite, I had not known about the issue when I bought it, so I was very frustrated and disappointed, and stubbornly avoided getting a new mouse for quite some time. The malfunction got worse and worse over time.However, I bought this DeathAdder Essential fully informed and expecting to have this problem, with the logic that getting to use this mouse for only 6 months or a year is still worth $20 to me. I saw that folks had this scroll wheel issue as early as 6 months into use; for me, it just started this morning, 13 months into use. I came back to this page immediately to order another one. It feels bizarre to treat a Razer mouse as disposable when the ones I previously owned had been so incredibly expensive at the time, but $20 is $20. When the new one arrives, the old one will travel with me for office use on my laptop.Unless you need a mouse that will last for several years and/or you can't stomach throwing an electronic in the trash when it dies a premature death, I strongly recommend this mouse.

Title: Great Gaming Mouse!
Review: For the price I paid for this gaming mouse, I feel that it's worth it. I looked at other reviews about this product and saw that some people were complaining about the scroll wheel breaking. I don’t think people understand that after so many years of use there is obviously going to be wear and tear. Things don’t last forever, nothing is built like it used to be in the past. This mouse is great quality and I use it everyday playing games on my laptop. The mouse is super smooth and durable (take care of your product, don't beat it up! Just take care and use it properly and keep it clean!) When you first plug in the mouse there is a Razor software that you need to download to control the mouse scroll light and other cool features. You don’t need to download the other Razor software that prompts you to upgrade your PC Performance and graphics and other stuff. I tried that and it made my pc feel slow and weird so don’t download that if it prompts you it. Other than that buy this product its worth your time and money. Hope y'all enjoy!

Title: Great mouse
Review: Using it as a backup mouse for my gaming laptop, it's big, ergonomically shaped and has probably the best button actuation of any gaming mouse I've used. Only issue you might have is the size (large) and large hump in the middle for the ergonomic shape.

Title: Out of this world
Review: When you haven't had a razer mouse in your life before, gaming feels like something that you would simply enjoy or relax, it was a good experience but nothing more, after you buy your first mouse it feels like you could reach the next level of it, its truly incredible

Review: Llegó rapidísimo, un mouse excelente, se nota la calidad y la forma en la que se desplaza es totalmente satisfactoria. Se configura con el software de Razer (que pesa muy poco). Es muy cómodo, los dos botones adicionales se configuran para lo que se necesite. Si no quieres gastar mucho por algo de altísima calidad, esta es una excelente opción (aparte viene con un stiker 😛).
