Microwitches for the DeathAdder 2013 sidebuttons are produced by Kailh (Kaihua Electronics Co., Ltd.). Generally I find that the plastic that bridges the button to the microswitch wears out much earlier than the actual switch itself. These are 10 million click lifecycle (no load) microswitches, which should last the life of the mouse. Taking a look at the left and right click buttons, Razer is using Omron D2FC-F-7N (10M) microswitches on the DeathAdder 2013. Here’s a look at the top of the PCB on the DeathAdder 2013. Since the DeathAdder 2013 is using a brand new optical sensor I’ve never seen before, I just had to pull it apart to take a look at what’s under the hood. The DeathAdder 2013 is among the lightest of the bunch weighing in at only 97 grams. This simple LED design is very similar to most of the new mice they’ve been introducing lately.įor those interested, here’s also a weight comparison between the DeathAdder 2013 and a number of popular mice on the market today. Plugging in the mouse, we can see that Razer has gone with just a simple front scroll wheel LED and a Razer logo LED. That said, these pieces are replaceable via the Razer website. Unfortunately, Razer is still using extremely small pieces of Teflon, which tend to wear out quickly. At the top corners and the bottom, we also get 3 Teflon feet. At the center, we get the 4G Infared Sensor which is capable of up to 6400 DPI. Here’s a look at the bottom of the DeathAdder 2013. Taking a look at the right side of the mouse, we get another large rubber piece for enhanced grip. The sides are finished in the same matte finish as the top, which I think looks much better than the glossy finish on the older DeathAdder. Below that, we get a Razer Taipan inspired rubber piece as well for better grip. Taking a look at the left side of the mouse, we get two very large buttons. Unfortunately Razer didn’t include any additional buttons for DPI adjustment. At the rear of the top we get a Razer logo which includes a LED underneath.
Razer has gone with a stealthy textured matte finish here which looks great and helps reduce fingerprints/dust.įrom the top, we get two buttons (left click, right click) along with the center scroll wheel. Of course, this is a good thing since I’ve found that the DeathAdder is one of the most comfortable right handed gaming mice on the market. Taking a look at the mouse itself, we can see that the overall design is fairly similar to the original DeathAdder. They’ve also included a 7 ft braided cord. Here we can see that Razer went with the usual gold plated USB connector. Included of course is also the DeathAdder 2013 itself.

Overall it’s pretty light on the accessories There’s no software included, so software must be downloaded from the Razer website. Included we get a couple pieces of documentation along with some Razer stickers. Here’s a look at the packaging for the Razer DeathAdder 2013. A Closer Look at the Razer DeathAdder 2013 Seven-foot, lightweight, braided fiber cable.200 inches per second and 50g of acceleration.Five independently programmable Hyperesponse buttons.Ergonomic right-handed design with textured rubber side grips.Additionally, we also get several small improvements such as an all matte styled body as well as rubber side grips that have been carried over from some of Razer’s latest and greatest.ĭid Razer’s improvements ruin a classic? Or have they made it better than ever? Flip the page to find out! The DeathAdder 2013 is now the 3rd generation of the Razer DeathAdder succeeding the Razer DeathAdder 3.5G with a number of small improvements, but still keeping the same design that has made the original DeathAdder the iconic mouse that it is today.Īmong the improvements, we get Razer’s all new, never before seen 4G optical sensor which features 6400 DPI sensitivity, 200 IPS and 50G of acceleration. It was only until I switched over to the first generation Razer Imperator with its host of problems did I realize what a godsend the DeathAdder really was.įast forward to today and we now get the Razer DeathAdder 2013 aka Razer DeathAdder 4G, whichever you prefer.
At the time I didn’t know anything about sensors or microswitches or acceleration.
When I first used the original Razer DeathAdder many moons ago, I admit it was a purchase solely made because of how cool it looked in the store.
