today we'll be unboxing the Razer Death Adder black addic addiction maybe I'm
0:06
addicted to mice no probably not we're
0:09
going to be unboxing the Razer Death Adder Black Edition which is probably
0:13
very difficult for you guys to read the box of so I'll read it for you it
0:16
features a true ergonomic right-handed design 3500 DPI infrared sensor many
0:22
people prefer the infrared sensors to the laser sensors uh I personally don't
0:27
but that's that's definitely a selling point and 1,00 HZ Ultra pulling which is
0:31
the maximum supported by the USB interface there's a new sensor familiar
0:36
form factor okay so the Old Death Adder was uh released way way back when and
0:42
what they've pretty much done here is they've upgraded the look upgraded the sensor there is a non-black Edition
0:47
featuring The 3500 uh or the 3.5g infrared sensor but
0:52
this is not it okay this is pretty much everything we said before four times
0:55
more Precision than a standard 800 DPI Mouse cool on the back we see a bunch of
0:59
stuff that we can talk about once we actually open up the product and finally
1:02
there's a message from Razor guy sweet okay so this is part of their essential
1:08
tier of products so what that means is it's a more of a value product more what
1:13
you need to get fragging done rather than featuring a bunch of Frills and
1:17
gimmicks and extra accessories personally I like Frills and
1:22
gimmicks but I also like inexpensive products so I'm kind of torn but which
1:26
one I prefer razor packaging always excellent so so it's all black inside to
1:31
go with the black edition theme of this particular product going to go ahead
1:36
take that off take that off so inside here we're going to probably find the
1:40
usual Spiel inside so congratulations
1:43
there's no turning back you own Razer now Go to cult. razerzone.com and all
1:47
that good stuff you got a quick start guide you got a master guide you got a
1:51
product catalog showing you a bunch of other Razor stuff that you'll probably
1:54
also like cuz you bought this after all
1:57
and finally you've got some razor stickers which I used to think were UV
2:01
but it turns out they are not which is disappointing but not that big of a deal
2:07
I suppose in the big picture so I'm going to go ahead take off this plastic
2:11
right here where hopefully I'm not going to reflect it and show the cameraman who
2:15
is helping me today so let's have a look at the ACT let's start here so we've got
2:19
a goldplated connector gold you know here's something
2:23
I should talk about gold is not actually the best conductor see some people
2:26
believe that you use gold on connectors because it's the best conductor actually
2:30
silver is a better conductor than gold the reason we use gold is because it's
2:34
soft and malleable so even when you insert it and unplug it from your
2:38
computer a lot of times it's still going to make good contact because it's so
2:43
soft it'll just reform itself according
2:46
to whatever is is brushing up against it so you have a nice good contact surface
2:50
area on there okay you've got a nice braided cable here so it's not going to
2:53
snag on stuff whenever you're sliding the mouse across your table I mean it's
2:57
not a wireless mouse so you do have to take that into account the Death Adder
3:02
is most optimal for a palm type grip so
3:05
a palm type grip means you're making contact with the entire Mouse as you lay
3:10
your hand down on it it means that you operate the buttons using pretty much
3:14
your whole finger not just the fingertip like you would with a fingertip or a
3:18
claw grip okay the Death Adder does not
3:21
have any buttons on the side although it does have like a a grippy durable sweat
3:26
proofy feeling finish on this side this is more of a traditional plastic and
3:30
then over on the other side we find more grippiness so that means that your
3:33
fingers that are on the side to hold and control the mouse are going to have an
3:38
easy time gripping it even if you have to lift it off of your mousing surface
3:42
we have forward and back buttons on the side although you could set those to
3:45
other functionality should you so desire your standard left and right click your
3:49
mouse scroll wheel as well as a mouse click on the bottom of the mouse you
3:53
find your model number product number rating which is the voltage that it
3:58
takes and you find a little bit of information about your sensor so you got
4:01
your 3.5g infrared sensor Precision 3500
4:04
DPI you've also got some slippy pads
4:07
which are one two three so they're little ones but really that doesn't make
4:11
that much of a difference in terms of either friction or in terms of
4:15
durability so I wouldn't worry too much about that one way or the
4:19
other and I think that's pretty much all I have to say about the Death Adder
4:22
