i only paid $50.00 for my deathadder. But yes actually it is that good. very little movement required to make shit on the screen move, the sensitvity is what makes it so good, very little if any delay from the cursor on the screen. Also another reason it's worth it, i been using this thing for about 6 years now and it's still works just as good as the day i bought it. had a few other expensive laser gaming mice before this one and they all crapped out in about a year or two, so if this one is still kicking after 6 years yeah they got my business from now on. I spent more in six years on other mice that died than i have spent on this razer
