The Razer DeathAdder Essential ships in a professional-looking black box, accented by Razer’s signature green colour scheme. Compatibility: Windows 10, 8/8.1 and 7 (software).Microswitch: Razer Mechanical Mouse, min.Dimensions: 73 x 43 x 127 mm (W x H x D).Razer seems to have taken on-board this feedback, scaling back the extra buttons and RGB lighting in favour of a more accessible £49.99. When we reviewed the DeathAdder Elite back in 2017, our primary criticism was its £70 price point being a little on the expensive side.
Now, the company has given its famous DeathAdder range the same treatment – but can the DeathAdder Essential compete in a market already oversaturated with budget offerings? This began to change with the introduction of its Essential Gaming line, seeing the release of the Razer Abyssus Essential earlier this year. Razer has long been known for its premium, feature packed mice, with very few alternatives for the budget consumer.
