00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:06,799
welcome to my unboxing and first look at the Razer Death Adder 2013 edition now

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:14,000
something I noticed about the Death Adder 2013 is that it doesn't say

3
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:16,119
2013 anywhere on the box at all in fact

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:19,640
the only hint that this isn't a normal Death Adder other than the packaging

5
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:23,599
change and if you look really closely at the specs is razer's marketing blurb

6
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:27,480
here where they say how did we improve on Perfection very carefully we didn't

7
00:00:26,039 --> 00:00:32,880
want to fix anything that wasn't broken and so we literally didn't change anything okay we focused instead on

8
00:00:31,519 --> 00:00:36,960
enhancing and optimizing the Death Adder utilizing Next Generation Technologies and further economics tweaks okay so did

9
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:40,120
they not change anything did they change stuff they did change stuff so let's go

10
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:45,239
ahead and get this baby opened up they went from a 3.5g sensor to a 4G sensor

11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:50,039
so they've increased the effective DPI and while the Death Adder has been and

12
00:00:47,719 --> 00:00:53,559
still is an optical gaming mouse as opposed to a laser gaming mouse and yes

13
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:57,160
I know laser is technically an optical technology but that's not what most

14
00:00:54,920 --> 00:01:02,719
people mean when they say it they have they have still achieved a 6,400 d

15
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:07,320
uh range for this particular Mouse which is very high for an optical Mouse so

16
00:01:05,439 --> 00:01:13,040
let's go ahead and open it up now they did allude to some ergonomics tweaks and

17
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:17,080
so in addition to adding an upgraded sensor they have also made some slight

18
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:22,000
changes to the shape of the mouse which does retain its right-handed grip so you

19
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:25,920
can see here this is not an ambidex ambidextrous Mouse all right so we made

20
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:30,040
a bit of a change to our tabletop here so that you guys can really clearly see

21
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:35,000
what razor changed about the death add 2013 so it is still a right-handed shape

22
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:39,520
but you can see it's more subtle than many right-handed mice so there's an

23
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:42,119
indentation on this side you can see the

24
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:46,040
the the the more pronounced curve there and then when you flip around to the

25
00:01:43,439 --> 00:01:50,200
other side you can see that it is a much less pronounced curve and actually comes

26
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:55,360
out a little bit so while a lefty could put their hand on the mouse the the

27
00:01:53,119 --> 00:01:57,920
their index finger would sit too low and their middle finger would sit too high

28
00:01:56,479 --> 00:02:03,799
and it wouldn't quite be comfortable it is shaped for the right-handed player

29
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:08,280
now I have sort of smallish hands especially for a male but I can Palm

30
00:02:06,399 --> 00:02:13,040
this thing perfectly and then I have probably a little bit of it looks like

31
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:16,319
about a centimeter of space left where even if my fingers were bigger or if I

32
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:20,160
curved my fingers a little bit I could have significantly larger hands while

33
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:25,720
being able to Palm the mouse comfortably now we've encountered gaming mice that

34
00:02:22,319 --> 00:02:28,640
are a palm grip type Mouse but that are

35
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:32,959
so small that you end up clawing them unless you have little tiny little kid

36
00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:37,640
hands so that is not the case with the death outer 2013 now an improvement that

37
00:02:35,319 --> 00:02:41,640
they have made that I think is huge is the addition of these rubber grips on

38
00:02:39,319 --> 00:02:45,200
the side so that is an extremely grippy rubber I don't know how to make that

39
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:50,159
point on film without uh just kind of saying it guys it's awesome it has a

40
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:54,400
nice texture to it so that you can you just by touching it lightly you'll be

41
00:02:51,879 --> 00:02:57,959
able to pick up the mouse without almost no effort no by not exerting almost any

42
00:02:56,599 --> 00:03:02,120
pressure on the mouse from the side at all this is great because it frees you

43
00:02:59,959 --> 00:03:06,239
up to have your mouse hand very relaxed and your wrist relaxed not causing any

44
00:03:04,239 --> 00:03:09,519
additional tension here but still being able to lift when you get to the edge of

45
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:12,720
the mouse pad and there's another one on the thumb side as well so you can see

46
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:16,319
that the way that they're shaped is optimized for the fingers that are

47
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:19,680
intended to be pointed at them so this one's a little bit lower a little bit

48
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:24,480
lower profile for the pinky and this one's a little bit higher profile with

49
00:03:21,879 --> 00:03:28,000
uh more of an a curve in for the way that your thumb would be positioned now

50
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:32,280
Razer calls the buttons on this mouse hyper response buttons and I don't know

51
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:36,519
if I would call the mouse wheel click particularly hyperresponsive nor would I

52
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:40,560
call the front and back clicks particularly hyper responsive because

53
00:03:38,239 --> 00:03:44,159
they feel like normal buttons to me but the left and the right click feel like

54
00:03:42,239 --> 00:03:47,959
they're on a hair trigger so I would say yes those are definitely hyper

55
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:52,599
responsive optimized for extremely fast button presses with almost no effort

56
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:56,120
whatsoever so what makes it optimized for programming what's the difference

57
00:03:53,879 --> 00:04:00,560
between a pro level product and and a consumer grade product a lot of the time

58
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:03,799
it's well how many how many times is a pro going to be pressing the button

59
00:04:01,799 --> 00:04:06,280
versus how many times is the typical consumer going to be pressing the button

60
00:04:04,959 --> 00:04:09,280
so I'm booting up a computer so that I can show you guys the lighting effects

61
00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:15,439
but I want to show you the bottom of the mouse as well so they've got uh what

62
00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:17,400
they're calling their ultr slick Mouse

63
00:04:15,439 --> 00:04:21,880
feet so you can see there's one up at the top left one up at the top right and

64
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:25,800
then another one down at the very bottom so Razer doesn't give you any particular

65
00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:29,440
rating for how long these are supposed to last but it should be noted guys that

66
00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:33,520
it actually doesn't matter if it was a huge surface area along the bottom of

67
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:37,479
the mouse or a small one the coefficient of friction would actually be the same

68
00:04:35,479 --> 00:04:43,479
here's the 4G infrared sensor so Precision 6400 DPI many people don't use

69
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:45,960
dpis um above sort of the the lower

70
00:04:43,479 --> 00:04:49,400
ranges but having the flexibility to be able to turn up your DPI and lower your

71
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:52,600
mouse sensitivity and turn off acceleration allows you to really tune

72
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:56,560
the mouse to use it the way that you want to use it so here's the here's what

73
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:02,160
the lighting effects looks like so you've got your illuminated scroll wheel

74
00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:06,000
just like that okay you've got your illuminated razor logo right here which

75
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:10,280
apparently turned itself off ah there we go so you can configure it within synaps

76
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:14,680
2.0 the 2013 edition does work with synapse 2.0 which takes all of your

77
00:05:11,919 --> 00:05:18,680
gaming profiles and stores them in the cloud so you can use them wherever you

78
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:22,880
happen to be as long as you log in it'll store your profiles on a per game basis

79
00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:25,840
so you can map your uh you can map your commands however it is that you want to

80
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:29,440
do that I want to just make sure I didn't really miss anything here okay it

81
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:35,600
does support, HZ Ultra pulling which is good um many gaming mice do that does support

82
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:38,360
on the Fly sensitivity adjustments and I

83
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:42,080
think that pretty much covers it for what they had to say for themselves on

84
00:05:40,319 --> 00:05:46,319
the box itself I guess the last thing is just to show you that it is using a nice

85
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:49,080
highquality braided cable so hopefully now that we've switched to a white

86
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:53,680
tabletop you guys are going to be able to see that all right and thank you for

87
00:05:51,759 --> 00:05:57,639
checking out my unboxing and first look at the Razer Death Adder 2013 which they

88
00:05:56,039 --> 00:06:02,639
didn't change anything about but they did but they I don't know whatever so

89
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:06,400
looks to me like the things they changed are good oh of note now that I've

90
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:13,400
actually got the product out of the box because I had to look at it before was out of the box it does say 2013

91
00:06:10,599 --> 00:06:17,479
somewhere so there it is 2013 is on the mouse itself even though it wasn't on

92
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:22,880
