Probably the best mouse for it's price range, simple, yet does everything needed.

BananaOctober 1, 2025

First one lasted about 4 years. It still worked but the left click started to become far too easy to depress. So I was accidently clicking a lot. So I bought a second one. For $20 I will keep rebuying this mouse every 4 years for as long as they offer it. Great mouse, easy to click buttons on the side, great ergonomics, and not too flashy. Responsiveness is great (although its wired so its just as good as any other wired mouse) and the wheel rolls very smoothly and as very subtle notches it clicks into so you don't over scroll when you are trying to me specific. The wheel is also larger than mice I have had in the past so it is easier to click when needed. I don't really care about the RBG but if that is your thing it is not too bright that it distracts, but it is plenty bright to be flashy if that is your goal. It's heavy enough it doesn't move if your knee knocks the desk, yet light enough that I don't notice it when using it. Amazon says to mention connectivity in the review, but its a wired mouse, its plug and play. It is USB-A. Not USB-C I only made this review because I was surprised to see it for only $20. I think it was $39.99 when I got my first one. Read more

Great Entry-Level Gaming Mouse with Solid Performance

Jonathan LeeOctober 30, 2025

I purchased the Razer DeathAdder Essential Gaming Mouse (Mercury White) for my son when he got his first gaming desktop, and it’s been a great choice so far. The design is sleek and comfortable, especially with the rubber side grips that make long gaming sessions easy on the hands. The 6400 DPI optical sensor is very responsive, providing smooth and precise tracking whether he’s gaming, browsing, or doing schoolwork. The five programmable buttons are a nice touch — he’s been able to customize them for different games, and the mechanical switches feel durable and satisfying to click. Overall, it’s a high-quality mouse at a reasonable price point, perfect for casual to mid-level gamers. The white color also looks clean and modern on his setup. I’d definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a reliable and stylish gaming mouse. Read more

Good quality

It is an amazing deal for the amount I paid. It has great accuracy and is comfortable. The quality is good for what I paid. It has a long cord, which is helpful. Read more

Excellent mouse initially, scroll wheel issues after a year or 2.

razorhDecember 21, 2024

Overall an excellent mouse for the price. After a year or so of regular use it is common for the scroll wheel to start getting jittery. Scrolling up or down tends to not be as responsive and scrolling down will commonly be followed by a bit of unintended up scrolling and vice versa. There are a bunch of comments about this and recommendations about blowing compressed air into the mouse to resolve this etc. however the scroll sensor inside is a sealed sensor and not designed to be taken apart and cleaned, or replaced. It can be done with the right tools/care but most likely not worth the effort for a $20 mouse. Read more

Great Budget Choice

Naila JakovicDecember 6, 2025

This mouse is amazing for the price. A great budget mouse for gaming, smooth, responsive, and feels wonderful in the hand. The mouse fits snugly for palm grippers and is a beautiful simple white that matches any setup color scheme. Lights and DPI are adjustable in the Razer software, which is not a hassle to install. It is also not too heavy. Read more

Precise

Salomon TovarNovember 27, 2025

The polling rate on this thing is smooth fast, the clicks are on point, it almost feels like its real time, a love that you can change the dpi to whatever you like, you are not forced to use a fixed dpi setting, you can adjust the brightness level even when it will turn off, just amazing, works fast and precise Read more

Excellent Value

EyeconicDecember 1, 2025

This replaced a similar Razer mouse. The bottom line is that these track infinitely better than anything from Logitech. Moreover, the scroll wheel is perfectly ratcheted with just enough resistance to prevent floating. The Logitech products all have scroll wheels that don't maintain the position of the curser on the screen. That is because the ratchet doesn't provide enough "stickiness." The forward and back buttons work well with Linux. Read more
