The Razer DeathAdder Elite gaming mouse is down to $29.99 on Amazon. This deal is also price matched at Best Buy. Last year around Black Friday we saw this mouse drop only as low as $40, so it's nice to see an even better deal this year.

The mouse is one of Razer's most popular. The 16,000 DPI 5G optical sensor is super accurate and capable of traversing up to 450 inches per second. Of course you can adjust it to the perfect setting, and the mouse has a button dedicated to doing just that so you can fix it on-the-fly based on the game you're playing or work you're doing.

The ergonomic form factor means you'll be able to game on and on for hours without feeling fatigue. Plus, the mouse has mechanical switches that are durable for up to 50 million clicks. The seven buttons on the mouse are all reprogrammable, including the dedicated DPI button if you decide you don't need that function. You can use Razer's Synapse software to set these up and create complex macro functions.

The mouse also has Razer Chroma, which we've broken down before. It's a cool tech exclusive to Razer. At its basic level, Chroma gives you the same RGB as a lot of other PC peripherals. Customize the colors on the mouse using over 16 million different possibilities. But then you can use Chroma to sync your lights with games like Gears 5 or smart devices like Philips Hue light strips. You end up with a personalized light show going off all around you.

The mouse has 4.2 stars out of 5 based on more than 2,000 reviews.

This Windows Central review from 2016 calls it a "jack of all trades option that can handle various titles" and added "With the pairing of Synapse and Chroma lighting, the mouse itself also looks incredible both in and without light."
