today we'll be unboxing the Razer DeathAdder black addiction addiction maybe I'm addicted to mice no probably not we're gonna be unboxing the Razer DeathAdder Black Edition which is probably very difficult for you guys to read the Box up so I'll read it for you it features a true ergonomic right-handed design 3,500 dpi infrared sensor many people prefer the infrared sensors to the laser sensors i personally don't but that's that's definitely a selling point and 1000 hertz ultra poling which is the maximum supported by the USB interface there's a new sensor familiar form factor okay so the old DeathAdder was released way way back when and what they've pretty much done here is they've upgraded the look upgraded the sensor there is an on black edition featuring the 3500 there are the 3.5 G infrared sensor but this is not it okay this is pretty much everything we said before four times more precision than a standard 800 dpi mouse cool on the back we see a bunch of stuff that we can talk about once we actually open up the product and finally there's a message from Razer guy sweet okay so this is part of their essential tier of products so what that means is it's a more of a value product more what you need to get fragging done rather than featuring a bunch of frills and gimmicks and extra accessories personally I like frozen gimmicks but I also like inexpensive products so I'm kind of torn which one I prefer Razer packaging always excellent so it's all black inside to go with the Black Edition theme of this particular product go ahead so inside here we're gonna probably find the usual spiel inside so congratulations there's no turning back you own Razer now though the cult dot raises own DOM and all that good stuff you got a QuickStart guide you got a master guide you got a product catalog showing you a bunch of the Razer stuff that you'll probably also like because you bought this after all and finally you've got some Razer stickers which I used to think we're UV but it turns out they are not disappointing but not that big of a deal I suppose in the big picture so I'm gonna go ahead pick up this plastic right here where hopefully I'm not going to reflect it and show the cameraman who is helping me today so let's have a look at the actually let's start here so we've got a gold-plated connector bold you know here's something I should talk about Gold is not actually the best conductor so some people believe that you use gold on connectors because it's the best conductor actually silver is a better conductor than gold the reason we use gold is because it's soft and malleable so even when you insert it and unplug it from your computer a lot of times it's still going to make good contact because it's so soft it'll just reform itself according to whatever is is brushing up against it so you have a nice good contact surface area on there okay you've got a nice braided cable here so it's not gonna snag on stuff whenever you're sliding the mouse across your table I mean it's not a wireless mouse so you do have to take that into account the DeathAdder is most optimal for a palm type grip so a palm type grip means you're making contact with the entire mouse as you lay your hand down on it it means that you operate the buttons using pretty much your whole finger not just the fingertip like you would with a fingertip or a claw grip okay the Death Adder does not have any buttons on the side although it does have like a grippy durable sweat proof II feeling finish on this side this is more of a traditional hard plastic and then over on the other side we find more grip enos so that means that your fingers that are on the side to hold and control the mouse are going to have an easy time gripping it even if you have to lift it off of your mousing surface we have forward and back buttons on the side although you could set those to other functionality should you so desire your standard left and right click your mouse scroll wheel as well as a mouse click on the bottom of the mouse you find your model number product number rating which is the voltage that it takes and you find a little bit of information about your sensor so you got your 3.5 G infrared sensor precision 3,500 dpi you've also got some slippy pads which are one two three so they're little ones but really that doesn't make that much of a difference in terms of either friction or in terms of dirt so I wouldn't worry too much about that one way or the other and I think that's pretty much all I have to say about the Death Adder Black Edition right now thank you for checking out my unboxing and don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips from our unboxings reviews and other computer videos
