The Razer DeathAdder has been upgraded with the world's first 6400dpi 4G Optical Sensor. With this 4G Optical Sensor, it achieves up to 200 IPS (Inches per second) and a 50 G acceleration, all while maintaining the familiar grip of its predecessor. This ensures full targeting accuracy, regardless of the gaming style.

The same shape of the predecessor model for right-handed users has been retained, while the ergonomics of the Razer DeathAdder have been enhanced with side rubber grips. Razer Synapse 2.0 is the intuitive Razer software that acts as the "brain" of the Razer DeathAdder.
