00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:06.799
welcome to my unboxing and first look at the Razer Death Adder 2013 edition now

00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:14.000
something I noticed about the Death Adder 2013 is that it doesn't say

00:00:09.840 --> 00:00:16.119
2013 anywhere on the box at all in fact

00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:19.640
the only hint that this isn't a normal Death Adder other than the packaging

00:00:17.560 --> 00:00:23.599
change and if you look really closely at the specs is razer's marketing blurb

00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:27.480
here where they say how did we improve on Perfection very carefully we didn't

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

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

00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:40.120
they not change anything did they change stuff they did change stuff so let's go

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

00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:50.039
so they've increased the effective DPI and while the Death Adder has been and

00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:53.559
still is an optical gaming mouse as opposed to a laser gaming mouse and yes

00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:57.160
I know laser is technically an optical technology but that's not what most

00:00:54.920 --> 00:01:02.719
people mean when they say it they have they have still achieved a 6,400 d

00:01:00.800 --> 00:01:07.320
uh range for this particular Mouse which is very high for an optical Mouse so

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

00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:17.080
so in addition to adding an upgraded sensor they have also made some slight

00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:22.000
changes to the shape of the mouse which does retain its right-handed grip so you

00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:25.920
can see here this is not an ambidex ambidextrous Mouse all right so we made

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

00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:35.000
what razor changed about the death add 2013 so it is still a right-handed shape

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

00:01:36.520 --> 00:01:42.119
indentation on this side you can see the

00:01:39.520 --> 00:01:46.040
the the the more pronounced curve there and then when you flip around to the

00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:50.200
other side you can see that it is a much less pronounced curve and actually comes

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

00:01:53.119 --> 00:01:57.920
their index finger would sit too low and their middle finger would sit too high

00:01:56.479 --> 00:02:03.799
and it wouldn't quite be comfortable it is shaped for the right-handed player

00:02:00.880 --> 00:02:08.280
now I have sort of smallish hands especially for a male but I can Palm

00:02:06.399 --> 00:02:13.040
this thing perfectly and then I have probably a little bit of it looks like

00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:16.319
about a centimeter of space left where even if my fingers were bigger or if I

00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:20.160
curved my fingers a little bit I could have significantly larger hands while

00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:25.720
being able to Palm the mouse comfortably now we've encountered gaming mice that

00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:28.640
are a palm grip type Mouse but that are

00:02:25.720 --> 00:02:32.959
so small that you end up clawing them unless you have little tiny little kid

00:02:30.920 --> 00:02:37.640
hands so that is not the case with the death outer 2013 now an improvement that

00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:41.640
they have made that I think is huge is the addition of these rubber grips on

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

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

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

00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:57.959
able to pick up the mouse without almost no effort no by not exerting almost any

00:02:56.599 --> 00:03:02.120
pressure on the mouse from the side at all this is great because it frees you

00:02:59.959 --> 00:03:06.239
up to have your mouse hand very relaxed and your wrist relaxed not causing any

00:03:04.239 --> 00:03:09.519
additional tension here but still being able to lift when you get to the edge of

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

00:03:11.040 --> 00:03:16.319
that the way that they're shaped is optimized for the fingers that are

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

00:03:17.760 --> 00:03:24.480
lower profile for the pinky and this one's a little bit higher profile with

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

00:03:26.040 --> 00:03:32.280
Razer calls the buttons on this mouse hyper response buttons and I don't know

00:03:30.200 --> 00:03:36.519
if I would call the mouse wheel click particularly hyperresponsive nor would I

00:03:34.720 --> 00:03:40.560
call the front and back clicks particularly hyper responsive because

00:03:38.239 --> 00:03:44.159
they feel like normal buttons to me but the left and the right click feel like

00:03:42.239 --> 00:03:47.959
they're on a hair trigger so I would say yes those are definitely hyper

00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:52.599
responsive optimized for extremely fast button presses with almost no effort

00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:56.120
whatsoever so what makes it optimized for programming what's the difference

00:03:53.879 --> 00:04:00.560
between a pro level product and and a consumer grade product a lot of the time

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

00:04:01.799 --> 00:04:06.280
versus how many times is the typical consumer going to be pressing the button

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

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

00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:17.400
they're calling their ultr slick Mouse

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

00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:25.800
then another one down at the very bottom so Razer doesn't give you any particular

00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:29.440
rating for how long these are supposed to last but it should be noted guys that

00:04:27.840 --> 00:04:33.520
it actually doesn't matter if it was a huge surface area along the bottom of

00:04:31.440 --> 00:04:37.479
the mouse or a small one the coefficient of friction would actually be the same

00:04:35.479 --> 00:04:43.479
here's the 4G infrared sensor so Precision 6400 DPI many people don't use

00:04:40.440 --> 00:04:45.960
dpis um above sort of the the lower

00:04:43.479 --> 00:04:49.400
ranges but having the flexibility to be able to turn up your DPI and lower your

00:04:47.960 --> 00:04:52.600
mouse sensitivity and turn off acceleration allows you to really tune

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

00:04:55.000 --> 00:05:02.160
the lighting effects looks like so you've got your illuminated scroll wheel

00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:06.000
just like that okay you've got your illuminated razor logo right here which

00:05:04.440 --> 00:05:10.280
apparently turned itself off ah there we go so you can configure it within synaps

00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:14.680
2.0 the 2013 edition does work with synapse 2.0 which takes all of your

00:05:11.919 --> 00:05:18.680
gaming profiles and stores them in the cloud so you can use them wherever you

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

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

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

00:05:27.400 --> 00:05:35.600
does support, HZ Ultra pulling which is good um many gaming mice do that does support

00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:38.360
on the Fly sensitivity adjustments and I

00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:42.080
think that pretty much covers it for what they had to say for themselves on

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

00:05:43.880 --> 00:05:49.080
highquality braided cable so hopefully now that we've switched to a white

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

00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:57.639
checking out my unboxing and first look at the Razer Death Adder 2013 which they

00:05:56.039 --> 00:06:02.639
didn't change anything about but they did but they I don't know whatever so

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

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

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

00:06:16.080 --> 00:06:22.880
