I've been in the market for a mouse for the longest time!! I think this review will finally put an end to it.
I've pulled out my old Intellimouse Explorer 3.0A from my junk box many times-- it has out lived many other mice and hopefully I can toss it back into the junk box for the last time.
That is a completely acceptable price for a quality mouse. When my MX Revolution frustrates me for the last time (soon, at current rate) Razer is definitely getting my business.
Talk about timing. Literally 2 hours after I made the above post, my MX Revolution decided that it didn't have a charge despite being at 2 bars just a few minutes prior. I charged it for 8 hours and it was still dead.
I was at Microcenter yesterday morning picking up some parts for a client and saw that they had the 3500DPI DeathAdder for $55. Sold.
This mouse is amazing. Took a few hours to get used to the precision, but now I feel like I was using a dead fish for a mouse in the past. Gaming is spectacular, but as Brian pointed out above, this is so much more than just a great gaming mouse.
That's a pretty funny coincidence. Maybe I'll look into one of these if my Centrios X7 mouse ever dies.
Incidentally, the Centrios X7 has been a spectacular gaming mouse for me. The DPI's scalable from 600 to 2500 with a toggle button right on the mouse itself, and the thing has been surprisingly durable. I usually kill mice within 6-9 months, and this thing's more than a year old.
Nice I might go buy that when it arrives here in Denmark.
It looks a lot like my Razer/M$ Habu, but doesn't have the glowpipe (BTW: that seems to be broken on my Habu, I just noticed it. ) and the DPI switches next to the scroll wheel.
I like the Habu, but I do not like that Razer and Microsoft cannot decide who makes drivers etc. for it.
I bought this mouse yesterday and would like to point out a feature that was missed (for those unfamiliar with the original) you can hot key the two side buttons for dpi switching which makes this all the better

Best gaming mouse ever
It needs to be black, before it can be considered for gaming..
