Razer DeathAdder 2013: A New Enhanced Gaming Mouse

I have previously discussed one hi-tech gaming mouse by Cooler Master in my previous post. But today we are here to discuss new gaming mouse from Razer i.e. Razer DeathAdder 2013. Razer has always been a head marketer in gaming peripherals like mice, laptops, keyboards etc. But they are special in their Mice section. One of the biggest characteristics of their gaming mice are the high dpi ratings i.e. dots per inch of the sensors.

On 20 November 2012, Razer has announced that their previous DeathAdder gaming mouse is upgraded into new one i.e. having more performance and precision. It is coming with upgraded name as Razer DeathAdder 2013 and is available at Store now.

The previous Razer DeathAdder was launched around 2006 and it has taken a unique place in every gamer’s heart. 

Comparison between New Razer DeathAdder and Old One:

Razer DeathAdder 2013	Razer DeathAdder (Old One)
6400dpi optical sensor	3500dpi infrared sensor
4G Optical Sensor	3.5G infrared sensor
Price-$70	Price-$60

So you can see that it not only contains twice DPI but it also has optical sensor. With improved DPI, it increases its accuracy and performance. 

Does this innovation mean that you are planning for more accurate headshots in Call of Duty black Ops 2 or other FPS? 

Some More Features as:

Compatible with Razer’s Synapse 2.0 services- For synchronization of settings and profiles automatically with the cloud.

With the involvement of Synapse service, now Gamer can download any software, firmware updates and custom game profiles depending on what they playing. It will automatically set default and best setting to make your gaming experience better and easier.

Optimized with rubbered texture grips for better precision

The device has 5 programmable buttons with extra sensitivity that can be configured according to gamer's choice.

Gold-plated USB connector

Seven-foot, lightweight, braided fiber cable

1000 Hz Ultrapolling/1 ms response

Approx weight- 0.23 lbs./105 g

“With only paying extra 10 dollars, you are getting double Dpi and better precision, performance and looks” - The deal is not bad, it is profitable buy.

Razer again proved that they are truly meant for GAMERS, that’s why their slogan fits perfectly i.e. “For Gamers Buy Gamers”.
