Razer DeathAdder Chroma — Professional Esports Gaming Mouse Review and Stats
About the Razer DeathAdder Chroma
The Razer DeathAdder Chroma brought customizable RGB lighting to the iconic DeathAdder shape in 2014 at 105 grams wired with the PMW3310 sensor. The Chroma was released during the RGB revolution that swept the gaming peripheral industry, and the DeathAdder's large surface area made it an ideal canvas for Razer's 16.8 million color lighting system. Underneath the light show was the same proven ergonomic shape that had made the DeathAdder the world's most popular gaming mouse. The PMW3310 sensor provided reliable tracking that was the gold standard at the time. The Chroma variant became one of the best-selling gaming mice of its era. It proved that even a mouse as established as the DeathAdder could find new audiences through aesthetic innovation.
