Death Adder Infrared

I had thought I wrote a review on this already, but perhaps I am mistaken. I like helping others make informed decisions about their purchases. The good: It is very ergonomic. There is a high arch that conforms to the contour of your hand and makes it quite comfortable. The synapse software is fairly comprehensive and there are many settings to fool around with. The bad: I don't know what part of the mouse it is, but it gets very warm. Even if it has sat for 20 minutes it is warmer than any other mouse, and it only gets warmer with use. Also, while it is ergonomical, there is little control that you have over the mouse. As you attempt to move it side to side or lift it off your fingers slide off. A very good alternative all around is the Roccat Kone Xtd. This is very large mouse that uses a palm grip, but the grooves allow a grip that gives you very fine control whether you are trying to line up a head shot or lift the mouse to readjust on the mouse pad. As a further addendum, I will add that both the back and forward buttons are repeating. Instead of going through the hassle of returning it I decided to replace these buttons myself. I never got around to it. Through use the problem seems to have improved by about 25%. It's annoying, but still useable. Anyways. I keep the Roccat mouse and the Razer mouse both connected side by side and if I grow tired of using one I switch to the other. However, hands down the Roccat is the better mouse.Read full review
