Value -
At $52 (on NewEgg) the DeathTaker is an inexpensive product compared to other current products. That having been said there are other gaming mice that are more comfortable with the same (and in some cases better) that are only a few dollars more. Genius really needs to work on adding in more value (pronounce that feature set) or drop the price of the DeathTaker if they really want to compete in the eSports market.
Conclusion -
We had high hopes for the DeathTaker when we first unboxed it and gave it the once over. Even during our initial testing it was a solid product. It was not until we began our extended usage testing that we ran into the comfort issues that change our minds about the DeathTaker Sadly when you are talking about eSports you have to have a product that is comfortable in addition to having multiple buttons, colored LEDs and customizable features. In the case of the DeathTaker, the lack of comfort during extended use is a deal breaker for us.
