Today I just received a fake Razer Deathadder 2013 version, actually it is quite easy to differentiate original or fake Razer mouse. The fake one usually will selling below RM50 in shopee, lazada or taobao. If you do not have original Razer mouse, you will surely can't differentiate whether it is fake or original.
My office one Razer Abyssus 1800 was suddenly dead and can't power on after it served for me 4 years. The Razer Abyssus is really good in quality, just on last week, the mouse suddenly dead and not able to power on totally. So I look for some used mouse in taobao and finally bought a very cheap Razer Deathadder 2013 4G 6400dpi.
Today I just received the mouse and I plug in to my office PC to test. The mouse cursor can't move directly without mousepad. I try to calibrate in Synapse. Still can't move on the table. The previous Razer Abyssus can use directly on my office table without required any mousepad.
Secondly, I was notice that. The fake Razer mouse black plastic surface is so rough. Original Razer mouse is smooth on their plastic surface even though their mouse are still in matte black. I know that because I back home just now and try my home original Razer Deathadder Elite. The original Razer mouse built surface is smooth with matte black, and the original Razer mouse can use on any surface including smooth glassy surface without the necessary of mousepad.
The fake Razer mouse still can detect by Razer Synapse and I still can successfully register my warranty on Razer website. What a funny jokes. The Razer website is considered that my Razer mouse as "Razer Deathadder Ergonomic Gaming Mouse". However, the serial number is fake one. I was typed in the serial number on the Razer website but ended up product doesn't exist.

The polling rate of 1000hz is fake. When I try to switch up the polling rate to 1000hz, I still can feels like the mouse cursor is still moving like a normal mouse that bought from pasar malam. Usually when I using the original Razer mouse with 1000hz polling rate. The mouse cursor is always moving very, very smooth in high frame rates. This fake Razer mouse feels like does not change anything on the cursor even I already switched to 1000hz. No matter how high I switch, the cursor is still move stuttering like the normal mouse at 125hz.

About the clicks, the original Razer mouse are lighter on their mouse clicks and the click sounds more quiet that the fake one. The fake Razer mouse is more clicky and more noisy than the original Razer mouse. This is quite obvious when you are comparing a fake and original Razer mouse side by side.
