Is my Deathadder Essential fake/counterfeit

It should be clear by the topic that I have my suspicions.
I say so because i purchased a DA Essential recently by Amazon.in and the outer box and mouse shell looks good the cable received is weird .
By weird i mean it is not braided , it is a simple rubber wire ,
So this raises a few questions -
1. Is DA Essential still under production, If yes are they cutting cost over the cable .
2. Is the support team from Acro Engineering lying about cable as they are the ones who said its a new batch imported on July 2021 ?
3. What should I do right now return /replace or use it ?
What's more to it is for some it didn't connect to synapse 3 but in my case serial number is legit and Synapse 3 successfully detects it (what if only outer shell is original)

The Razer Deathadder Essential uses the standard cable, which can be seen from this link. Please send me a PM including the device's serial number so I can verify its details. I'll be locking this thread now to route our conversation privately.
