With the release of the DeathAdder Elite, Razer has resurrected their highly-acclaimed mouse model once again; last time we have taken a look at a DeathAdder mouse was while reviewing the Razer Chroma Set, which incorporated the Chroma version. The previous revision did arrive with 4G 10000 DPI optical sensor lens (Avago 3989) and besides the configurable RGB lighting it did also sport a comfortable shape along with rubber side panels for long gaming sessions.

The Elite does not make serious changes to the exterior, but the trained eye will be able to spot the subtle differences right away.

While the Elite does not have “Chroma” in its name, rest assured that full support for this feature is offered, as we can also see from the frontal area of the cardboard packaging:

On the back side of the box, Razer mentions the main product highlights, which are the upgraded optical sensor, the inclusion of the new Razer switches but also a reminder of the utilized ergonomic form factor:

The system requirements along with the approximate size and weight of the product can be checked out on the bottom area of the enclosure:

The box is also provided with a handle, for display purposes:

After removing the top packaging layer, we will be able to see that the mouse is protected inside a cardboard and transparent custom mold, but we will also receive a set of documents:

The semi-transparent leaflet which welcomes us to the Razer club is accompanied by the installation guide but also a set of stickers:

The manual is filled with all needed instructions in order to get “your game on” right away!

The set of chromed Razer stickers is perfect for installation on our gaming laptop or desktop:
