Pro:
Very comfortable and ergonomic
Cool LEDs
The actual function of the mouse is excellent
Cons:
This may not apply to you, but I HATE mouse acceleration and I really like high sensitivity. The Mac software that comes with it says that it should turn off acceleration, it simply doesn't. Even at the highest sensitivity, the mouse still is too slow for me. Both system settings and other software offer much faster sensitivities, so I don't know why they limit it.
I still use the mouse, but I went back to the USBOverdrive software control as it does what the included software SHOULD do.
Note: I used to the MS sidewinder gaming mouse and this mouse performs better with USBOverdriver than the MS Sidewinder mouse does. So I would buy the mouse again, but feel like I'm overpaying a bit since their control software doesn't do what it should do. But then if you like acceleration and a lower sensitivity, then you're set!

The DeathAdder is a great mouse for the price, but it's not as great as I understood from the product description. I wondered how so many features could be offered for such a low price, and now I know. (I use the DeathAdder with a Mac, OSX 10.6, so some details may differ on Windows.)
The DeathAdder's "programmable" buttons are limited to choosing from a hard-coded list of keyboard strokes (12 function keys, 8 cursor control keys, escape, space, tab, enter, and delete) and key combinations (cut, copy, paste, undo, redo, quit, switch application, minimize window and two Mac-specific combinations). You can't even set the buttons to act as any other key or key combination, much less program a menu item or sequence of keys.
Also, the DeathAdder's ability to change DPI settings is limited to switching between 800, 1200, and 1600. I wanted a setting below 800 for increased precision, and something I read had given me the mistaken idea that I could switch between 3 user-programmed DPI settings.
Apart from those disappointments, my first 24 hours show the DeathAdder to be an excellent product. I expect to use the DeathAdder as my primary mouse for the foreseeable future, but if I had it to do over again I would buy a more expensive -- and more programmable -- mouse.

pretty good mouse, good $price$ for the quality but things like this are personal preference.
I also change mice at the same rate normal people change there desktop wallpaper/background

I bought a Mac Mini and wanted a mouse that worked with my pc and mac together with a kvm switch. I found the perfect match with this Razer Death Adder Mac edition. I also have a Logitech illuminated keyboard and it also has white leds so both this mouse and the keyboard match perfectly. I got tired of the blue leds most keyboards have and the red is too much. I think the white is the perfect balance and looks very elegant. The software works perfect on my mac and is really necessary to make all the buttons do what I want. This mouse works perfectly with no software on the pc for my needs.

I was thinking of buying either the new Magic Mouse (which I tried at an Apple Store) or this mouse, and I went with the DeathAdder. I'm not a gamer - I bought it for web browsing and video editing. So I bought this mouse because it was cheaper, and it looked more comfortable.
Though it isn't cheap, I am very satisfied with it so far. It may be bigger than you think if you're thinking of the size of a normal mouse (one that comes with desktops). So it's not ideal for carrying around. But that means it's really comfy (surface feels solid, not cheap) and your hand can fully rest on it. The cord is pretty long, so if you're using MacBook Pro you might want to tie up the cord with the included cord band, or whatever it is called.
I'm using mine with 15" MacBook Pro, and surfing the web feels a lot different how that I'm sitting back and reaching the computer only for keyboard. I got really used to the multitouch touchpad and I thought this mouse may not be as fast as the touchpad when I need the mouse to move quickly across the screen. But I was wrong - it's definitely fast, and I'm guessing it's faster than the Magic Mouse at highest setting.
The included software for Mac is v1, and you can download v2 at the website. You can adjust sensitivity (x and y-axis if you'd like), turn on/off acceleration, white light at scroll wheel and body, and set how you want to use the buttons. I'm using the scroll wheel click for Show All Windows, and side buttons as go back/go forward (delete, shift + delete). You can set the buttons to change sensitivity (On-The-Fly), dpi, polling rate, etc.
I haven't peeled off the plastic cover at the bottom but it's working with no problem. Bottom of the mouse doesn't light up. At 1800dpi I feel it's as darn accurate as it can be for an average user like me.
Also, the scroll wheel - I was a little worried about getting used to the scroll wheel again. But I found scrolling through long pages to be fairly effortless, and in most cases you probably won't need to deal with scrolling through long pages.
As of now (end of day 1) I am completely satisfied with the mouse. I recommend getting a mouse pad (cheap one is fine) with it if you don't already have one.
