Me gusto mucho, muy buena sensibilidad, me gustan los liters (plasticos que deslizan) se deslizan muy bien y son suaves. Muy buen diseño y funciona perfectamente, cable y materiales resistentes

So far absolutely amazing mouse. If I'm being honest tho it sucks that there is no DPI button. I use this mouse for playing a tactical shooter (HELLMET) and Minecraft. Works wonderful for each. Ill update if there are any problems!(WARNING the clicks are pretty loud.)

I bought this to replace my ultra-reliable DeathAdder 2013 that finally bit the dust after 12 years of constant use. I absolutely loved that mouse and I was a bit sad to see it go, but this one honestly just felt like the exact same thing.Clicking it feels snappy and satisfying, more so than the old one I had been using. It does feel significantly lighter, but the shape is exactly the same and is still the only mouse that has ever been completely comfortable for bigger hands. We'll see how well it holds up over time.The LEDs and branding are still corny and I wish they would just make a fully unbranded one so I don't have to install the Razer Synapse bloatware to turn the LEDs off, but my old one had them so I think I'm just used to it at this point.I love this mouse so much that I bought a white one for my office computer, and it's made using my office PC all day much more comfortable. I highly recommend it, and at a price point around ~$20, you'd be hard pressed to find a better wired mouse for any application.

Amazing for the price and never spins out, after a year of hard use only has some wear on the plastic but doesn’t affect the use. The scroll wheel isn’t the best tho for long use

The Razer DeathAdder Essential Gaming Mouse is an awesome choice for both gaming and everyday use. It’s super comfortable to hold, even during long gaming sessions, and the 6400 DPI optical sensor is smooth and precise. The five programmable buttons are easy to customize, making it great for different games or tasks. It’s lightweight but feels durable, and the design is simple and sleek. For the price, this mouse delivers great performance and reliability—definitely a solid buy for any gamer!

It is nice and lightweight, but not too much so it doesn’t have drifting. It performs well, and has great tracking, and is very precise. It is a great size, and the ergonomics are brilliant, and fit most hand shapes. The buttons are very durable, and can be clicked rapidly, thousands maybe even millions of times and be perfectly fine.

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.

1. This mouse is not "lightweight junk".2. Braided cables are worse.3. Silicone side grips were never that great.Some of the reviews on here are ridiculous. Let me clear some things up.The Kailh switches in here are mid-weight and feel slightly heavier (and less mushy) than the optical switches in the Deathadder V2. The side buttons feel significantly better than the V2. The scroll wheel is less tactile (or smoother, depending on how you look at it).This is a heavy, heavy boy by today's standards. This thing is better built than the V2, but consequently harder to do a weight reduction mod because the plastic is so damn thick.People that complain about this version not having a braided cable... you want an even less flexible one?! Razer's braided cable is the same rubber cable with an additional outside sheath, making it even less flexible. This cable is an improvement from years past, but it's not great. Fortunately because it's not braided, it's easy to rip the rubber sheath and shielding off, and paracord it.The side grips are meh. It's a bit more than molded plastic, but not as noticeable as the silicone on the V2. Silicone still gets slippery when wet, so best solution was always aftermarket grips. If the V2 had G703 quality rubber grips to being with, then I could see the grip complaints on here being justified.My biggest problem with this thing is the lack of replacement skates. No corepads or tiger ice for this model. It has the rear skate of the V2, but two front skates more similar to the V2 Pro. If you you like the white color or mechanical switches, and use less than 6400dpi, then can't go wrong for $20 and some elbow grease.Software still blows. Can use open source software to permaset light effects when not plugged into PC w/ Synapse.
