I did something similar for my Razer Abyssus. I used a kind of rubber that is normally used for fixing tires on bicycles.

Glossy sides suck!

The DeathAdder Black Edition doesn't have a glossy side, it has the same rubber feel as the top.

Never had this problem when I was using mine. = /

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

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.

Yeah, that's part of the reason I got the Black edition of the Deathadder. Looks much better too imo even without the lights.

Interesting idea with masking tape, will give it a go on the abyssus.

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 think you should rename this thread. This modification applies to almost every mouse Razer manufactures.

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...

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

I did this before I saw the video lol. I found the mouse to be very slippery after long periods of use.

Worst mouse ever. Feels like too plastic-y and wobbly and crappy. I love my mx518

This is totally worth while mod to a DA, it increases it's total overall grippability. (not a word lol)
