Razer intros DeathAdder gaming mouse for lefties

Razer has announced the arrival of its first gaming mouse designed specifically for left-handed users, the Razer DeathAdder Left Hand Edition. Crafted with professional left-handed gamers in mind, the new mouse combines an ergonomic form factor with a 3.5G infrared sensor, offering lefties a competitive edge compared to existing ambidextrous or right-handed mice.

Razer president Robert Krakoff said users have been after the company to create a gaming mouse for southpaw users. Identifying with the woes of using uncomfortable mice, Krakoff noted that he is a lefty and is excited to have a mouse that fits perfectly in his hand.


Spec-wise, the Left Hand Edition is seemingly identical to the original DeathAdder, including 1000Hz utrapolling, five independently programmable buttons, on-the-fly sensitivity adjustment, always-on mode, a 16-bit data path, and a gold-plated, seven-foot USB cable.

The Left Hand Edition is available for pre-order through Razer's online store for $59.99 (the same price as the original DeathAdder). While it's debut is on March 24, its status is set to "Back Order" so your mouse might ship a little later than advertised.

  1. stupid lefties

  2. Now I really don't get why people buy "gaming mouse" to play games, I had mine(a regular laser mouse) for maybe 10$ and never had any problems. Is it more something to show off when you play LAN games or something?

    Gotta love a company that is willing to go out on a limb and bring a product to a market that nobody really cares about or even notices, go Razer!

    Looks like a nice mouse too, good luck lefties.

    Obviously someone cares about it - left handed gamers :-) Of course they are a small percentage of the general population, but still a large number non the less.

  4. nice mouse! good price! does it come in righties too? haha
