I use it also. Drivers are pretty decent, no problems mapping buttons and what not. The on the fly sensitivity adjustment is also pretty useful for photoshopping, etc. as well as gaming.
If you can deal with the wire its a pretty solid option, my only complain is that dirt tends to build in the spaces by the buttons and seems. I tend to clean mine out with a brush every few weeks but its no big deal.

I love my Deathadder. Now its a few years old but still very precise, fast and the matte finish after a clean with slightly damp cloth it comes up perfect. Well worth the money.
Thumbs up.

Is it able to fight Mac OS X's Mouse Acceleration Problem, or populary - override default MacOS mouse behaviour to Windows like like it done in Microsoft Intellipoint
What's the diff between Mac Edition and normal edition? ... Can the Mac edition be used on Windows computers?
I have the windows edition, the old one. I don't think there is any difference except that the mac ed has a white LED and windows have a blue one.
So as I take, it hasn't an ability to solve that by drivers, additional soft is needed. Right?
Ahh. I design too so I was looking for a better mouse other than the Magic Mouse. Do you miss not having 360° scroll? Do you alternate between the Deathadder and the trackpad (For 360° scroll) or do you drag the little bars around Illustrator/Photoshop when you design?
Also, the on-the-fly sensitivity sounds amazing. Is it only for Windows, or available for Mac too?

How do you combat with mac's system settings for mouse? Can someone please share his or her settings? I am trying to go back and fourth to find a sweet spot but so far it's been awful. I just wish I had the same feel as my PC.
I have a big imac by the way.

I do miss having the 360º scroll, but it's more of a mild annoyance not to have it. I use MBP's trackpad for that feature. I'm actually thinking about picking up the "Magic" Trackpad and have that sitting on the left hand side my wireless keyboard to use as well.
The on-the-fly sensitivity is available in the mac software.
I use the deathadder for my mac and i love it, i really didnt like the magic mouse so thats in its box the first day i tried it. the only problem is when i apply an update to the razer driver it resets the mouse settings on the mac, its really annoying. actually scrolling is another issue, it wont scroll smoothly and it jumps from the top of the page to the bottom within a quick turn of the mouse. other than that its better than the magic mouse.
i have my settings as
3rd button as the expose all windows macro
4th button cmd + right
5th button cmd + left
its a breeze to work with, its a shame it has those two little problems.
i wouldnt mind a mamba either, i loved the wire free magic mouse until i used an application other than the internet.
