Yep, got me a black edition deathadder yesterday. Was using the 1st edition before this with the rubberised coating, and blue lights. The rubber wore down after a while and the mouse looked a mess

The black edition deathadder is my 2nd deathadder in 4-5 years. The first one was the first edition, with the glossy side and blue light. Also a very nice and comfortable mouse. The black is just class, gorgeous and it doesn't look cheap with the blue light.

There is an issue with the drivers though, don't get the Razer Synapse and instead just use the usual drivers. You'll get all your usual settings, etc. Synapse is just crap so far.

Overall, I'd say way better than the original. Don't hesitate.

If you install Synapse, you won't be able to update the mouse firmware either. Synapse isn't complete yet, or requires more testing, etc. You won't find much options for your mouse there, I was pretty disappointed after installing it and wondered how the DA refresh could suck so much in options, but then I decided to take to the net.

So after searching online, found some threads that said to just use the normal drivers (which basically update your firmware version as well to 1.x)

The drivers are fine, just Synapse needs a little more development.
