To compare with my old mouse: the copperhead already had serious advantages: sensitivity settings, ambidexterity, precision and speed. A mouse for cut fps.
With Deathadder, the changes are not major. We keep the basics with some changes: there is a mouse a little larger which nevertheless proves in the end to a perfect ergonomic service. The hand is wedged perfectly on the mouse. It is covered completely with a very nice soft material and also gaining dpi (4000 against 2000) even though I do not feel a huge difference. All delivered in a package look great with the drivers on CD.
Finally, this seems to razer pruned for rts for the fps with a significant gain in comfort but personally I see no difference whatsoever ingame on Starcraft 2 or CoD, I just gained in comfort without losing any of strengths of the Copperhead.
Anyway, this Razer is a high-end mouse can seem a bit expensive for a mouse, but even for office use, comfort is there for the world and I would return to a classic mouse model. Do not hesitate!
