Professional reviewers commend the M908 for its low-latency 1000 Hz polling, flawless Pixart PMW3327 sensor performance and generous button count, making it a solid budget choice for MMO enthusiasts. However, they criticize its large, bulky chassis and modest weight system, noting that even with added weights the mouse can feel unsteady, and they point out the lack of a wireless option as a shortcoming versus premium rivals.
Everyday users love the mouse's abundance of side buttons, accurate sensor and vibrant RGB lighting, often highlighting how the programmable keys improve MMO gameplay. Recurring complaints focus on the mouse's bulkiness for small-handed players, the perceived lightness even after adding weights, occasional software glitches, and occasional misfires of the side buttons during fast action.
“"clearance sale item" good for entry-level but notes noticeable control differences at 96 g vs. 87 g dailies”
Professional reviewers view the DeathAdder Essential as a reliable, comfortable entry-level mouse that works well for casual gamers, but they point out its outdated sensor, heavier weight, and missing premium features make it unsuitable for competitive esports or users seeking extensive customization.
Everyday users echo the pros of comfort and build quality, while repeatedly calling out the mouse's weight, sensor jitter, mushy button feel, high scroll wheel, and limited software options as the main drawbacks.
