I do have a few issues with the Destiny 2 Razer DeathAdder Elite.

I am by no means a pro gamer, so I am no authority on how this sensor handles quick lifts and drags, but I’d be surprised if it couldn’t deal with top-tier use cases. Unlike the last few Logitech mice I’ve tried, this Razer seems comfortable with being put to work on any surface.
RAZER DEATHADDER ELITE SOFTWARE SOFTWARE
While the Razer Synapse software offers surface calibration, I found the Destiny 2 Razer DeathAdder Elite capable of consistent tracking across multiple pads and my desk surface without the need for software adjustment. The mouse uses the same optical sensor as the regular DeathAdder Elite and gave me zero issue with tracking across a few different surface types. Unlike some other mice I’ve tested, the cable doesn’t seem to have any memory and will pretty much lay however you like, preventing it from getting in your way during gaming sessions. The cable is light and easy to move around. The Destiny 2 Razer DeathAdder Elite also has a braided cable that features a black and white pattern. The wheel uses a red light by default and I was able to quickly set it to white to match the palm rest light. The backlight inside the wheel and under the Destiny logo can be customized via Razer’s Synapse software suite. Those buttons are large and easy to reach, without being in a position that leads to misclicks. The mouse is plastic with a smooth satin finish and has a rubber grip that rests just under buttons 4 and 5. Unlike the regular DeathAdder Elite, this version has a black and white paint job and a backlit Destiny logo on the palm rest. A DPI selector rests just behind the wheel for on-the-fly adjustments during the heat of battle. It has an exaggerated, Intellimouse-style shape with two main buttons and a wheel, along with the standard set of thumb buttons. Unlike the Razer Basilisk I reviewed earlier this year, the Destiny 2 DeathAdder Elite doesn’t offer any gamer-specific bonuses or gimmicks that promise to give you an edge over the competition. The Destiny 2 Razer DeathAdder Elite is rather simple compared to competing gaming mice, but it gets the job done and offers an aesthetic that nicely compliments the popular trend of black and white builds, even if Destiny 2 is not your bag. There is no single perfect mouse for all use cases, but most would agree that at a bare minimum, a mouse should enable the user to execute their intentions and feel good in the hand. Some folks are better with their left hand (weirdos, IMO) while others game using modified claw grips. Everyone’s hands are different sizes and shapes. For PC gamers, the choice of mouse is highly subjective.
