Read our full Razer DeathAdder V2 review. It detracts from the overall solid build.

It’s a relatively minor gripe, but I noticed the same thing with the Viper Ultimate Wireless, and I hope Razer can sort it soon. It makes me think they couldn’t take much of a beating, such as if you threw the V2 into a bag before running out the door. They feel fine, even sturdy, when you’re clicking them straight on, but the slightest amount of sideways pressure makes them waggle off-center. However, carrying on a trend in recent Razer mice, the left and right mouse buttons are a bit flimsy. How often do you need to go above 16,000 DPI/CPI? Not often. Those increased numbers may or may not mean much to you, because they’ll make very little difference in day-to-day performance. It goes up to 20,000 DPI/CPI (16,000), tracks up to 650 inches per second (450), and has a resolution accuracy of 99.6 percent (99.4 percent). In games of Fortnite and Escape from Tarkov, my shots felt instant, and I never had to worry about firing accidentally.Īnd then we come to the sensor, Razer’s 'party trick' (the DeathAdder Elite’s stats are in parentheses for comparison). While I can’t possibly tell how accurate that number is, they certainly felt as responsive as I could ever need, and I never misclicked. Razer reckons they’ll last 70 million clicks, rather than the 50 million for the old DeathAdder Elite. They’re optical, rather than mechanical (they use an infrared light beam to register clicks), which means they should deliver fewer misclicks, lower latency, and have a longer life. The left and right mouse buttons are more durable than the Elite, too. Razer reckons they’ll last 70 million clicks. The V2’s wire is the most flexible I’ve tried on a gaming mouse, and ultimately that means it’s less likely to impact your mouse movement, even if you get lazy about wire management, like me. I’ve used a version of the DeathAdder (the Expert) for years, and my one complaint is that the stiffer wire can sometimes pull the mouse to one side, depending on how it sits on my desk. The fact Razer is using a special wire, with an equally ridiculous name, "Speedflex Cable," also sounds insignificant, but turns out to be a big deal. It spins smoothly, but you can still feel every notch of the turn, so you won’t accidentally scroll too many times. Razer has a ridiculous name for the new design, "Instinctive Scroll Wheel Tactility," but the results are perfect. I’ll go into it in a second, but I was more impressed by the more subtle changes Razer has made for the V2. The most obvious improvement with the V2 over the original DeathAdder is the Focus+ Optical Sensor, the same one used in the excellent Razer Viper Ultimate Wireless. Some day that'll change, yet for now we're betting on the better value buy. You can pick up the improved DeathAdder V3 nowadays, but we're still fans of the older kit as it's just so darned cheap right now. You know, to make sure all your gear compliments each other. Of course, you should pair your new mouse with one of the best gaming keyboards. As a team, we've tested dozens of gaming mice throughout the year, and this list highlights some of our favorites. Some excellent budget gaming mice can give you a competitive edge without maxing out your credit cards if you're tight on cash. Whatever the size, style, or amount of buttons, there's a mouse for you. Even best wireless mice are faster and more accurate than their tethered brothers. MOBA and MMO players need a mouse with a wealth of buttons for all their bindings. And it still has an excellent, high DPI sensor that will help you keep up with the best in competition.Ī lightweight mouse will let you perform feats of digital greatness with minimal physical effort. It's a classic design that has stood the test of time, and now that the V3 has launched you can find the older model for a bargain price. The best gaming mouse is still the Razer DeathAdder V2.
