Comfort over buttons PROS: COMFORT - the main selling point for me on this is it feels great. The top has a brushed feeling to it and your hand slides around on it gleefully, as well as preventing it from getting too cold either like some plastic does. The side, where your thumb goes, also has a nice ribbed textured area that is great for grasping with your thumb to control the mouse. Aesthetics - The snake inspiration is pretty clear to see in the design, as well as the lights on the top. Green is my favorite color though, so I may be a bit biased, but the green really stands out on the black and looks great I think. If lights aren't your thing though, you can turn them off using Razer's software. DPI - It goes up to 6,400 dpi. If you need more than that, I'm jealous, but I have it currently set at 2,200 and that's plenty for me. Software - This is actually a huge selling point for me. Of all of the computer peripherals' software out there, Razer has my favorite. In the software, you can: change lighting, dpi, acceleration, polling rate, and liftoff range. The buttons can be customized, so if you would rather your left button be your right button, assign a key to the side buttons etc. It even has an area for detecting your mousepad and calibrating to it. Good build - Good, but not great. The cord is tethered (like a shoelace) and fairly long and the mouse doesn't feel cheaply made or awkward or anything. But the left button did start to go out after a couple of years so it's not built like a tank or anything either. Weight - Doesn't weigh very much and is easy to grasp. Not quite so light that you whip it around either. Neutral: Not a ton of buttons. There's the scroll wheel which clicks, and two side buttons. However, this could be a pro if a lot of buttons would get in your way. CON: Doesn't automatically ship with every PC which would drastically drive it's price down. Maybe I'm fanboying here, but I really like this mouse. I "claw" my mouse, and it works pretty well for that. I'm also right handed, which is a big help. If you're a lefty, I wouldn't get this unless you can use your right to control the mouse. In that scenario, I would recommend the Taipan. It's got a lot of the same features that makes the DeathAdder fantastic but isn't geared for right-handed people. Happy shopping
