DeathAdder Respawn Vs DeathAdder 2013

So the two above mentioned mice. There is a £15 difference between them.
Is the only difference between the 2 an increased sensor (3500 DPI Vs 6400 DPI) and the graphics (greens on the 2013 Vs Blacks on the Respawn)?

Other than that dimensions and feel the same?
Or are there more differences between the 2?

Cheers.

There is very little difference. I would go for the cheaper one personally. Especially since 6400 dpi is unusably high so it's useless to have.

Cheers for that. I'll replace my work mouse with the cheaper one then

2013 has nice rubber grips on the side. And I think its lighter than the older versions. Not sure if thats worth £15 to you.

2013 has a horrible surface can't explain why but it feels cheap incomparison to the respawn, even thought the side buttons and sides are nicer the top is horrible feels like horrible old office equipment to touch.

Just bought the Deathadder 2013, I just can't get along with it (like every other Razer mouse).

What don't you like about it? The shape?

Wizzfizz · 2 Feb 2014 at 20:27

It's just too chunky for my liking and I'm not a fan of the driver and all the silly gimmicks Razer puts in it, That said, It does seem a decent mouse for an MMO, such as WOW (5 buttons).

I've had two 2013 DA's break, they have changed they way the left mouse button is triggered, the plastic tab used to push the micro switch is not strong enough. The older DA design will last a lot longer.

The DA2013 top surface is bloody horrible, I much preferred the older rubber coating.

If you really want a DA, get the cheaper one.
