Best thing you will ever do with painters tape.

Glossy sides suck!

Need to look for a new mouse

Post by: Keymonger on Tue, 22 November 2011, 15:56:55: The DeathAdder Black Edition doesn't have a glossy side, it has the same rubber feel as the top.

But it's a cool thing to do for those with extremely sweaty hands.

Post by: Foodmanchew on Tue, 22 November 2011, 16:04:09: I don't see why there's so much hate on the glossy sides. The rubber top is okay until it gets any type of dusk or dirt on it, then it is the most uncomfortable thing ever and I must clean it.

Post by: uobballplaya on Tue, 22 November 2011, 22:23:20: Yeah, that's part of the reason I got the Black edition of the Deathadder. Looks much better too imo even without the lights.

Post by: czarek on Thu, 15 December 2011, 05:14:46: Black Edition has a nice texture on sides, similar to the one on top.

You don't have too, it's glossy it will eventually get dirty.

I've had 3 deathadders and this is the onlything I've disliked about them.

I too own many DA from 3G to the black edition. Only need to clean the sides like once a week.
I understand gloss is annoy... Although the MX518, I totally cant stand the glossy top...

Post by: andrewjoy on Wed, 21 December 2011, 06:17:18: Never had this problem dont mind the sides its the rubber top i don't like , my old diamondback 3g i use in work is still nice and matt however there are 2 shiny finger marks on the death adder

Its because you fingers don't sit flat like on the diamondback and there is more force on one point of the key wearing out the rubber finish. i miss my first gen diamondback with the clear top but i broke the USB plug sad sad day

Post by: bavman on Sun, 15 January 2012, 22:28:03: Worst mouse ever. Feels like too plastic-y and wobbly and crappy. I love my mx518
