Razer Unveils the DeathAdder Gaming Mouse with 3G Infrared Sensor Technology
The Razer DeathAdder is Razer's first right handed gaming mouse and is the result of years of extensive studies by Razer's ergonomic engineering group. Thousands of gamers have been studied; their play styles, shape of hands and method of grip and the results of thousands of hours of study have culminated in the ergonomic shape of the Razer DeathAdder.
The Razer DeathAdder possesses a sleek and smooth rubber coated matt black chassis that stretches from tip to tail, giving it an elegant and seamless body, that's slip resistant during intensive gameplay. This lethal gaming weapon has the right curves in all the right places, providing the perfect fit to right-handed mice partisans. Its ergonomic right-handed design has 5 programmable, ultra-large non-slip buttons with Hyperesponse for improved comfort.
"With all gamers in mind, the Razer team of specialized engineers built the Razer DeathAdder from ground up to make this the perfect right-handed gaming weapon. With the latest Razer-only 1800 dpi 3G infrared sensor, an unbeatable 1000 Hz Ultrapolling and 1ms response time, the Razer DeathAdder is in a league of its own," said Robert "Razerguy" Krakoff, President of the Razer Group.
30 Day Money Back Challenge
The Razer DeathAdder makes it debut on Razer Webstore and in retail stores worldwide in mid December 2006. Retailing at a competitive price of USD 59.99, Razer makes this uber mouse a must-have by also introducing a 30 day money back guarantee program.
While there are many right-handed mice out in the market that profess to be gaming mice, Razer's 30 day Money Back Guarantee Challenge is Razer's seal of confidence that guarantees that the Razer DeathAdder outperforms any other gaming mouse in the market and challenges all gamers to put the Razer DeathAdder to the test.
In the unlikely event that a gamer is not convinced that the Razer DeathAdder is the ultimate right-handed gaming mouse, Razer is willing to take it back within 30 days of purchase with no questions asked. This challenge is only available on the Razer Webstore and terms and conditions apply.

i just checked it out at there site it seems as tho it is an optical mouse just with an infared sensor like the plasma diamondback which i have sumwere lying around 3g thing is meant to make it more accurate it look pretty small imo
No onme uses 2000 Dpi when they are playing, 400 Dpi is more than enough for low-medium sensitivity gaming. Laser performs lousy because it can't track twitch-moves. The fact that it uses infrared is good because it will work on all the surfaces on the market. Nice to see that Razer has seen the light and stopped the Dpi war!
Enter CS/CS:S or Q4, set in-game sensitivity to 100%. If you use 1280*1024 that means you roughly turn 720 degrees pr. inch mouse movement. No one utilizes that sort of sensitivity therefore anything above 800dpi is just show off. Even the most hardcore super high sensitivity gamers will tell you that 800 or 2000 dpi makes no difference
I'm just trying to point out that there are people that use 2000 DPI. And you stated that "no one uses 2000 Dpi when they are playing".
Its a nice balance between hardware sensativity, software sensativity, and movement for *me*.
Not many people keep up with my 40% accuracy in wolf anyways.
However, I do have to admit.. that 400DPI for sniping can be handy.
As can the 2000.... when panzering...
And for sniping, in CS:S and any other game, I usually use 400 DPI, and for other weapons (rifles and such) mainly 800-1200 DPI. And in UT2004 and only UT2004 do I use 2000 DPI.
Don't you just love On-The-Fly sensitivity? I love it on my G5!
Just because you set your mouse to 2000 dpi doesn't mean that you actually benefit from it having 2000 dpi, a mouse with only 800 dpi will be just as precise in many cases because the dpi isn't the "bottleneck of precision". Dpi is only a bottleneck if your mouse isn't precise at a given sensitivity, that is why I wrote the stuff about setting it to zero filtering. When you use your 2000 dpi at maximum resolution you probably use a low sensitivity, the exact same precision can be gained by a mouse with less dpi with a bit higher sensitivity that is closer zero filtering. The limiting factor of precision in games isn't the amout of dpi it's the precision of your hand movement when you are over 800 dpi with zero filtering. Filtering functions just like a divider between FSB/RAM, when you have a mice running 2000 dpi most users set the divider to something high maybe 1/5 which equals a 400 dpi mouse running with zero filtering. The divider can be the ingame sensitivity, sensitivity adjusted by the driver, windows sensitivity.
Higher DPI isn't meant to make your precise, in fact I find it is the exact opposite of that. It make you less precise, however it does allow you to move and aim a lot faster, which is why most people drop the DPI to snipe, you are more precise at lower DPIs.
Also, laser is just plain better than optical. No optical mouse I have ever used has been able to track on glass. However, my G7 has no problem at all on glass. Laser mice work on more surfaces than optical mice do.
