Short Circuit is quickly becoming my favourite channel from the Linus Cinematic Universe
The Linus Cinematic Universe should be a thing, a world where you have to drop things and wear sandals with socks.
I said this a few videos ago....something like, "Watch out LTT, ShortCircuit is taking over!"
Dread it. Run from it. The drop still arrives.
“The LCU” I love it xD

I have this mouse. The lightweight cord makes this mouse glide so smooth. It's very accurate too. *Also, the 8th button is on the bottom of the mouse to change your profile.*
Yas. Was looking for this
That seems like it would suck to use, especially if you swap profiles a lot
@@adfasdasdfsadfasd6490 well then u can change it to be one of the buttons on the top...
They say that in the video
Lol, I'm good with my deathadder elite, it switches profile by app
My elite's scrollwheel died, contacted support, got the V2 as replacement. Epic
@Luck V2 yas
wait FR? I thought you had to buy another one!
@@Akronox. nope, theyre Support isnt that bad, use the live chat tho, works better than email
Well basically they gave you a cheaper replacement. In my country v2 is 25 dollars less than the elite
@@kubero2323 yeah because the elite isnt beeing produced anymore so theres less of them so its more expensive, the V2 is fundamentaly better

I am in this picture and I do not like it.
Vincent lodato you should be you monster!
Haha same. It's just so much more convenient. I have a G502 and the scroll will goes in clicks, so one click = one weapon swap, instead of guessing how far to spin it.
Martijn Kraakman almost all mice have this but its just much less precise and its slower

I absolutely love Razer products. I've bought DeathAdder like five or six years ago and turns out those products are designed not to last too long, so every year I bring it to the warranty service and get a new one. According to local law, when you get a new one, the warranty starts again from day 0. Seriously, I'm using fourth or fifth mouse for the same money.
What an excellent loophole.
what the heck :O
my deathadder has lasted 5 years no issues now but good loop hole
I don't know why suddenly people answer this comment, but I've moved to a different country, so can't use the loophole anymore. Also, my DeathAdder is dead. Bought a Logitech mouse, we'll see if it stays with me

@@infiniteaxe3933 James could have used Synapse and it would have shown him that. Dunno why he didn't do just a bit more research, since reviews of the mouse from when it came out even mention where the 8th button is.

LTT hit gold with this channel format. The team gets to show off their knowledge and personality in a casual-ass format and it’s so good.
8:00 something these reviews NEVER seem to mention: the on board profiles DONT SAVE THE RGB TO THE DEVICE. At least for razer stuff, only the key bindings are saved. Not some of the more advanced macros/functions and not the custom RGB patterns. It was a real bummer to find that out when I went to bring mine to work.
You are right, microphone mute function for an exemple dont`t work without synapse, and just the spectrum cycle of RGB will work, it`s a thing at least, but not the ideal like save the exact profile that i use in my device, i like the products and i never needed to use out of my rig, but it would be cool to at least save RGB stuff, shame on you Razer.
do you know if i can create like an autoclick macro and use it on another pc without software? just curiosity kek
i understand this comment is way overdue but i had a mouse with profile saving problem from corsair, what needed to be done was a hard reset the mouse and it started saving profiles.

Just bought one of these. Opened the box, thought it was well packaged, good start. Plugged it in, thought it looked really nice, and felt comfortable. Set it up, mapped the buttons how I want. Started using it. Questioned why I never bought one sooner. Favourite mouse I've had. And I've had a lot of mice.
Just recieved mine today and so far so good. Fits perfectly in my hand and the clicks are fast and effortless. Definitely feels light and the cord is how all wired mice should come. It seems more responsive and smooth than my old corsair. 5/5 for me.
how long did it last?
lovin this channel very much GOOD STUFF, LMG
The G502 and the G903 are the two gaming mice I can think of with the free-spinning scroll wheel installed. But on those, like most other logitech mice with this feature, it is a button to engage/disengage the free wheeling.
I have the g502 lightspeed from logitech and this flywheel design is great. You click the button right behind the wheel to unlock it and fly through vertical windows. It is a real benefit compared to other mice. The non-lightspeed version has it, too.
I love the editing, especially the aggressive box throwing focus.
Just bought the v2 last night & watched this after the fact as reassurance that my purchase wasn't a mistake.., let's just say I've been reassured :)
On the bottom of the mouse, there’s a button that switches your dpi. I like this personally because it gives you more options on the top of the mouse, unlike some mouses like mine right now (I don’t have the Razor mouse but what I’ve heard it’s pretty great).
0:47 Exactly how I feel about the inside of mice box packaging. Thank you James!
I had a DA several years ago. I still miss it but I need a wireless mouse. This is the ONLY mouse I have ever missed.
I didnt know people didnt like the feel. I have small hands, (I assume) and its been my favorite mouse for like, 10 years. That being said, I want to feel this one. Maybe I'll like it even more.
Ive had Deathadders for years. I tried a different mouse after my Deathadder Infrared got worn down, but it just wasn't the same. I don't like anyhting else Razer makes, but I love my Deathadder Elite.
Same! Tried a buncha stuff but the deathadder is the perfect one for me.
I like that style of video - although not a full review, this is more in depth than unbox therapy while still being entertaining
My Razer Deathadder 3.5g (2009 lol) started playing up so I recently upgraded to the Deathadder V2 and it's been perfect.

I look forward to seeing some of the enhancements brought by the soc in other mice. Hopefully glorious or endgame gear will take note. No Copyright infringement ofc...
I’ve tried a million mice by this point (EC1/EC2/g502/Ironclaw/m65/outset AX/Scimitar/Naga + Naga Pro, couple others) but I always sorta come back round to using the DA line again. Don’t get me wrong there are small tweaks to the shape or buttons I might make for my personal preference (the furthest side button closest to the left and right clicks I have a tough time comfortably reaching with my grip style/I’m not a big fan of the flair out at the front of the mouse on the right side as it can sorta get in the way of resting my ring/pinky fingers) but it’s a great shape for large-ish hands.
Good that Razer is working on improving their products. I ended up ditching their peripherals after my third Naga Chroma died in 4 years. Sad to hear the software still sucks.
alright, james. This is the last straw. It's PTFE, not PFTE.
Just call it Teflon(®). :)
y so low, bro?
Lol, my $20 gigabyte mouse from 2014 has PTFE skidpads
@@startedtech ptfe isnt that expensive, nothing to do with price
surprised they still use teflon
Yes, please review the new basilisk. I've been considering it as a possible upgrade, and would love to hear what you've got to say about it.
Absolutely love this channel so much. So simple, but still fun and informational. As a side note/question... I haven't used a Razer product in a while, I remember liking my original death adder years and years ago but it failed after only like a year or less of use. Does Razer still have that reputation of nice products but not reliable? Or have they gotten better over the years?
KZhead subtitles at 1:33: "the chastity is almost identical"
i swear on the thumbnail he looks like hes about to say ‘heck yeah boii’
After 2 years with my Elite I bought this one and I couldnt be happier, great mouse for the price.
The 8’th button is in the bottom of the mouse next to the censor. It is used to chance profiles as it has memory.
Does it have a side-scroll button? If it does, they're probably counting that as the 8th button. Edit: Nevermind, it's at 8:39 XD
Who writes a comment about something before watching the hole video for answers?
Gaming Master unfortunately sir the video is not about holes.
My comment existing should answer your rhetorical question. What wasn't answered was my original question about there being a side-scroll button. Update: Had to go to the Razer DeathAdder V2 site and look in the FAQ section to find that out. But thank you, @@rumyan7126, for being so helpful.
@@probey8273 He must have been watching the wrong video this entire time XD
@@probey8273 sorry sir, I think you need to re- sit your reading classes. You have missread my comment you idiot! I said watch the *hole* video before asking questions, otherwise it makes you look very dumb...
This guy: haaaAAAAaaaAaaaAaaa Me: *instantly subscribes for life*
It's nice how casual this channel is nice for cosy watching
I still use and love my original Death Adder. I have to say, I like the glossy sides much better than the rubberized ones on the next generation Chroma, that I tried.
Would LOVE to see a ShortCircuit review of SwiftPoint Z Mouse. The mouse is: * VERY large * Has 100 actions. Yes, you read right - a HUNDRED!
this channel somehow... i... it's amazing, honestly
Basilisk Ultimate/V2 is definitely worth a look. Lot improved vs the original. Even more so than Deathadder Elite to V2
I'm still loving all over my 2013 DeathAdder. It and my black widow keyboard aren't RGB, back when it was all just G. I should probably upgrade, eh?
James: “Alright. Time to test the feet.” *slides the mouse around on a bare table*
They should review the basilisk v2 or the ultimate, they seem like good mice.
There's already a bunch of review about those mice, check out RJN, brandon taylor and badseed tech
Good thing this just came out since I probably wouldn't be able to choose between this and the Viper, and I love the Viper after I have used it for a while :)
I had the Deathadder Elite Chroma and I loved it so much, but I play on a very low sens (40edpi) so I switched to the mm710 for the weight. I hate the buttons on the mm710 and the deathadder has the best side buttons and mouse clicks, I can't wait to get a v2, its going to be my favorite mouse.
"Gnarled on the side." - James 2020
Gnarled...a bit like knurled but way more gnarly.
Haha I thought maybe I was going crazy, but I could have sworn it's "knurled" too
I still use my death adder from years back. I love that thing so much.
I had my deathadder 2013 for 5 years and then got the Logitech superlight, never been so disappointed with the side buttons for paying $150 dollars. Prob going to get the deathadder V2.
I already have the Basilisk ultimate but I still watch review videos on it just to help me appreciate it even more.
Been a Deathadder user for a few years. I am a fidgety person and having the middle and thumb buttons so large makes it really easy to accidentally hit them. Glad to see them change the middle ones, but the thumb buttons are so easy to accidentally hit and they didn't change them which is a bit of a downside. But still looks like a worthwhile upgrade once mine dies
I hope they will make Razer DeathAdder V2 left handed edition ! The first one was really good. There's not many left handed reference for us!
Gatien Boquet I’m left handed but I still use my mouse on the right lol
Curious how long razer has had liftoff detection. I know steelseries has had variable lift off sensors for a while now. Doesnt sound like they've done anything particularly revolutionary here
They've had them for a while now the elite has them too I think the last one that was lacking that specific liftoff censor was the 2013 edition of the deathadder
Watch hardware canucks he has a detailed look.
Bought one of these today. On the way home from work to go on a serious gaming sesh
i still have the first deathadder 3.5G and makes me happy to see that the box its all diferent
My deathadder 3.5g began swapping x and y movement in quick flicks.. hope the v2 fixes it
And I'm still sitting here with my Logitech MX510 which doesn't even have a laser yet.
I was (still am) in love with the feeling of the death adder. Then i bought a viper for Trying hard E-sport style, but now im thinking of the deathadder v2 should i stay? Or switch. This shit made me super confuced hahaha
You have viper? Stay, same level
If you feel more comfortable with deathadder, I would say go with it
switch to controller
I loved my lefty DeathAdder... It's dead now tho but I did get a good 7-8 years usage out of it!
i have V1 Elite version and its already super light, hard to imagine that some people want even lighter one.
watching you whip those PTFE feet across that bare desk hurt my soul
I love the big deal over ~16 grams but when I picked up the elite after upgrading from my 5+ year old death adder, I nearly yeeted it across the room because it was so much lighter
Without a mouse pad using heavy mice is a life of death of bad situations.
I bought this mouse like 2 months ago and it's the best mouse I ever had 😍
I bought the elite over the V2 for that added weight and the way I use my mouse... I personally wouldnt want to swith after owning the elite... Only downside I have with the elite is the lack of on board memory.
The Deathadder V2, just like every other Razer mouse released from 2018 onward, does NOT save the RGB lighting settings to the mouse. The onboard memory is limited to the basic DPI, LOD etc. The most the mouse can remember in terms of lighting without Synapse 3 is brightness. The Deathadder Elite can remember RGB settings but nothing else. Don't really know why Razer are not allowing this on their more recent mice but it's frustrating because if you wan't anything other than spectrum cycling rainbow lights or off entirely, you need that awful Synapse 3 software running in the background at all times...
Thumbnail looks like the "oh yeah, it's all coming together" meme
Still rockin the original Deathadder, it's been double clicking occasionally and the middle mouse button doesn't work anymore for years now. I think I've found my upgrade!
I would have possibly considered getting this new version if I didn't order 4 of the first version when it was on sale for $25 during November/December of last year... I'm pretty good with mice for the next couple of years. :D
9:01 Linus: *in best Dart Sidious voice* "I have taught you well, my young Apprentice..."
Hey man, I go through my weapons with my scroll wheel. I ain't got time to memorize number keys when I'm being blasted by hell zombies.
after a day you dont have to memorize anymore
This was my first High quality mouse moving away from the 20$ chinese headset mouse combo (gross) and i love it, been using it for a couple of years now and it feels good to finnaly have a nice, consistent mouse that doesnt jump around due to a shitty sensor.
A lot of people overlook this, push the scroll wheel to the sides. The trinity has this feature in both left and right directions.
8:09 I actually kind of doubt that. I have the Deathadder Elite and use Linux. There is an (unofficial) Open Source project called Open Razer which is a Linux driver for these to control RGB etc. (without the mouse still works but you can't configure the colors). So, after I configured it to stay green, I uninstalled the drivers and applications and since then the colors actually stay green even on other Linux devices (haven't tried Apple or Windows), and I can still configure the colors if I reinstall the software. No idea how it works if it really doesn't have on board memory, but whatever.
i think its not onboard memory, but maybe his rewrite the firmware on chip
@@brenocampos100 could be the case too, haven't looked at the source (because I know shit about writing drivers), but pretty unexpected
I also use Deathadder elite on Ubuntu, it has only one profile stored in it. if you want to change it you have to use Razer software. But with newer one we might store different profiles(RGB styles and sensitivity) and you can change it on the fly. No need to use the software.
Kuhluh interesting, can u send me the source code?
@@brenocampos100 openrazer. github. io is the site of them
0:48 Is the social distancing starting to get to you?
have a Mamba TE and love it, but would love to have that chord and the ptfe feet on it. I like a heavy mouse, so mine is perfect, the one for this video would probably feel way too light. I have/had one of the original steel series wow mice (miss that button set up) but it was far too light.
THANK GOD THEY FINALLY ADDED ONBOARD MEMORY! I've been waiting so long to be free from Synapse...
i had double clicking on my elite and when i sent it out for replacement they sent the v2 because they had no new elites in hand
Same here
im using deathadders for a long time, i tested the v2 for about 2 weeks, but i rly dont like the changes beside the weightloss and the better gliders & cable. the changes on the right side bother me the most, i have avg. hands and on the old one, the elite, my ringfinger could allways rest while playing, now on the v2 there isnt any roam, so my ring finger doesnt have a spot. imo the changes to the rubbersides were also a mistake, they arent stickier than the elite, the v2 allmost feel slippery and i have allways dry hands. So pro v2: cable, gliders and weight ... cons : worse grip on the sides and for me i dont like the changes on the shape ;)
gonna get a grip sticker for my V2, coming from chroma
The 8th button is some weird button on the scroll wheel that only clicks one way, but then that wouldnt make sense either, it would give the older deathadder elite 8 buttons as well. Just put your index finger on the left side of the scroll wheel and push.
is there an option to remove the side grips of the mouse if I wanted to or are the grips unremovable?
I love LMG and I love this man

Taran is the best tho, but he's epic too
when is dennis going to unbox something he doesn't know anything about?
Just got it from the 2.0 2013 edition as an upgrade and Holy moly what have I been missing besides everything.. literally, everything.
How did you get on with weight difference between the two?
@@jimn7692 I upgraded from the 2013 to a basilisk v2. tbh I really cant tell the difference in weight but it seems to weigh more because it has a metal clutch button.
Maybe the eighth button is moving the mouse scroll wheel left or right, I remember having a mouse that had such a feature, maybe they also implemented it into this one
Man said PFTE. As an ex chemistry student that's absolutely unacceptable, and should be PTFE, short for PolyTetraFluoroEthene.

Technically not wrong at all
Lettherebegames exactly what I was thinking
I usually only use 800 dpi so I could change the dpi buttons for in game use and only use the profile button on the bottom.
heck i can’t remember the last time i used my death adder elite i think i’ve had it for about 5 years and it just needs a cleaning
I had a Deathadder Elite for ONE YEAR and the left click started dying and since switched to the g502 lightspeed, never looked back.
overrated garbage mouse
G502 Master Race

7:38 - and my first, legendary, blue 1800dpi deathadder... had onboard memory ;)
I also just replaced my 1st gen 2006 DA. I used the claw grip (mainly hold the mouse with thumb and ring finger and I have big hands) So my first first complaint is how the sides feel. The 2006 DA has a no textile grip but it’s very grippy for me even though it’s 100 grams I can lift no problem. I lift a lot because I play with low sensitivity on CSGO. I really wish they used the same side plastic as the 2006 DA. Next...this is good and bad. The skates on the bottom are so good it makes my mouse slide super fast. Thus needed to change my sensitivity. I play CSGO with 400dpi and 1.3 sensitivity (mainly awp and this is also why I need to lift my mouse a lot which the first issue is critical for me). The 1.3 sensitivity and 400dpi on the V2 felt like I had 2.5 sensitivity. Way too fast! So I experimented with my DPI and dropped it down from 350, 300 and now 250 and it is my sweet spot. It feels somewhat like my 2006 DA with 400dpi. Note I didn’t touch my sensitivity. The lightness I really appreciate. I actually like the weight of my 2006 DA so I was concerned. I think the light weight also effected the sensitivity so everything felt super fast sensitivity wise. But after adjusting the dpi it felt good. The lack of grip on V2 was compromised with lighter weight and it felt ok lifting it up. After a couple hours of deathmatch on CSGO I realized that I was able to grip the sides a little better but my hand started to stiffen up. I may be compromising the lack of grip by tightening up my grip. This may be a bad thing. I love the new cable. I used to feel resistance and get stuck on edges on my table with my 2006 DA. This cable feels invisible. I also just got a Zowie V2 bungie to prop up the cable and it’s perfect. The RGB is super bright which some may like. I don’t so I put it at 15% and used the dark blue to pay homage to my 2006 DA. I almost want to sand the sides and paint some lacquer on it. Haha I really miss the shiny sides of my 2006 DA. I’m not sure if it was the dirt build up and grime that accumulated over the 14 years that made them so grippy tho haha.
