Amazing value for money. Has both AA and AAA battery slots and can work off both. Great accuracy via the dongle connection. Bluetooth connection is rubbish compared to this on a 5K screen.
Bought it for a friend who wanted a larger mouse. Used it a bit and already have a different Razer mouse of my own.
They are still using it months later and has shown no problems.
Didn’t think this be much better than the deathadder v2 I replaced it with .. Bit wow what an amazing mouse this is it’s night and day better than the v2 .. Only gripe I have is the dpi buttons I preferred them on v2 was onto the mouse much easier to navigate.. Other than that this mouse imo murders the old dearhadder Great stuff Razer things really can happen when you folk finally start to listen to us gamers
I’ve had this mouse for 2 years now and still no issues!! very pleased with the quality as sometimes razer can be hit or miss, extremely satisfied and would recommend to any gamer on a budget or just looking for a pretty white mouse 🙂
Battery life is really good, connections flawless, extremely lightweight and very comfortable. It’s best mouse I’ve ever used but is it really worth over 100 for a mouse? I think it takes the P to be honest like most products labelled as gaming but I’m still the mug cuz i paid i
As the title says
– it’s light
– it’s right-handed and ergonomically shaped
– it’s very responsive both on cable and with a supplied dongle
– great PTFE feets
– scrolling wheel is OK, rubbery but not the best and not weighted
– two side buttons and the main ones are clicky and very responsive. No universally disliked hollowness on click.
– rubber advesive stickers (four – left/right buttons, both body sides) are very grippy.

Really great option for a lightweight gaming mouse, even though it’s designed with esports in mind, this mouse is good for everything. It is very light so it causes less strain on your hand, wrist and elbow and is easier to control than a heavier mouse. The buttons have a great tactile feel and click to them with a class-leading response time. The sensor is amazing and tracks very accurately on most surfaces. At its price it is the best mouse to buy for gaming, just be aware of its right-handed shape and medium/large size. It has a wired connection so no batteries or charging required, just plug in and play.
Not very expensive yet has all the features and performance required for my gaming. I can see lots of improvement in my aim.
However I would not recommend this mouse for claw and fingertip grips as it is too large for anything but palm grip.
My first Razer mouse was the Viper series. This mouse fits my right palm and is surprisingly light compared to the ROG Keris.
Unfortunately, this mouse may not be suitable for situations where continuous clicks are required in a short period of time. Compared with ROG Keris, I need to click with greater force to trigger micro-movements.
Maybe this mouse is not suitable for Moba gamers to buy.
I love this mouse, I would rate it 10. If you ever had a deathadder. Then getting it wireless is a dream.
I am not sure how they work out the battery life of wireless mice, but I haven’t charged it since I bought it. I work 8 hours a day and then game most days. I’ve had it for a week… So not sure how long it is meant to last, but seeming to be doing a great job so far.
My hands are not big. I’d say they on the smaller size, but then again I wouldn’t know the average size hand.. This mouse is just the best quality and feel of any mouse I have tried. I’m comparing it to the g903 as well as the g503 (the logitech mouse) I think those are the ones I had.
Just a quality mouse. So iconic and the fact it is wireless is everything to me. I’d highly recommend this mouse for anyone looking for a wireless mouse and loves the most iconic mouse made.
I’ve been using this mouse for about 2 months now and I don’t really have many complaints about it as it’s been working fine so far. ALTHOUGH it’s never a perfect run I’ve only had 2 little annoyances so far, the first is a common issue with these razer deathadders which is the scroll wheel randomly scrolling when you aren’t even trying to scroll, it’s just that they get stuck midway through a scroll and then trigger at an unexpected time. Though it’s not often it can be annoying.
The other is the DPI button being on the bottom of the mouse which can be annoying when you are quickly trying to change dpi in a game, instead you gotta wait and flip the mouse then change it. I’m used to where the DPI button is on the top but then again that isn’t much of an issue.
The adapter works fine and the pulling rate is as good as you can get at this price I guess and I don’t have much to say against it and overall it’s a very solid pick, I personally haven’t tried the super light 1 but it is dated compared to this which is why I opted for the adder.
Been using it for over a year now, but lately the scroll wheel has been very jumpy and this is a common issue with all razer deathadder mouses. Quick solution is to blow hard into the scroll wheel and scroll at the same time, and it should release any trapped dust inside. Minor inconvenience but a pretty good mouse for the price overall
Quick delivery, nice packaging. Not as heavy as I hoped it would be, but doesn’t feel cheap at all. Buttons are extremely sensitive but I wanted that so it’s pretty perfect. scrolll wheel is smooth, not much bump so feels a little strange. When you plug it in it opens the software installer. Initially, I was interested in the wallpapers it offered and downloaded one of the apps for that, but had to delete it an hour later as even when not using it, it was using all 8GB of RAM my laptop had, and caused it to crash. Overall very good product.
Had this mouse for a while now and have been playing all sorts on different consoles and pcs and at first I hated it the way it felt the way in how heavy it was but all of that just takes time the ergonomic shape makes it so my pinky and ring finger aren’t levetated all hours while playing and with the smooth feel of the mouse provides a comfortable experience but this mouse does have down sides if your thinking about playing this on a xbox you at no avail can change the dpi I would go to play fortnite with the Mrs and have to put the sensitivity all the way up to 25 percent as out the box it’s set to 450 dpi with no way of changing it on console and even if you do, do it on pc it still won’t transfer same with macros it will read the mouse button as unusable so things to be careful about but after using this couldn’t go back to my light mouse
Bought this to replace a super expensive ergonomic mouse for work as working all day with a normal office mouse leaves me in agony. This is probably the most comfortable mouse I’ve used so far, and is a bargain price. Definitely would recommend for anyone with carpal tunnel symptoms, not just gamers.
This mouse suits me so well especially for games, has a dpi upto 6,000 which I doubt you’ll use but nice to have. I play games like Valorant and it’s easy for me to quickly align my crosshairs.
RGB is also a plus, looks nice and you can manage the brightness.
Customisable buttons is a special feature, I myself haven’t gotten round to using them much except for one but if you like shortcuts it can also be used for that.
Been using the mouse for a week now.
Love it so far.
Great built quality, the clicking sound is not annoying and you can barely feel the mouse in your hand.
This mouse is a joy to use whether it’s for work or play. It’s very comfortable, smooth, configurable and accurate. Feels really solid and I’ve had it a number of months now and it’s still going strong!
The mouse is great. There is barely any weight to it. Super responsive with high DPI – can be so sensitive, very good for FPS games.
Shape is fine with me, each to their own but I didn’t have any issue with the shape despite a lot of buyers reporting that the shape is a bit funny.
Bought it for a gift while it’s a bit cheaper feeling its very nice for ergonomics and sensor has no issues very nice white design with white led inside, Razer always has very decent gaming gear.
Pros:
– Wireless with no input delay
– Great mouse wheel
– No RGB
Cons:
– Expensive
– You have to press a button for 3 seconds under the mouse to turn it on and off instead of just a switch
I have to say, after using them for a while I am a little bit bothered by the fact that the plastic they are made of feels a bit cheap especially since it started making weird crackling noises from the first 3 days of use. I was slightly worried about this issue becoming worse in the future however after using it for couple of months now I would say the plastic holds up just about well enough and the noises have not become any worse. Its just a slight feel that can annoy some people but honestly if you don’t press on the side panels of the mouse with your fingers harshly you probably won’t even notice it. Apart from that every single other aspect that I can think of of this mouse is just pure perfection. I have no complaints about its price either however I would recommend getting it on a discount as there will be better options coming up soon probably so I would say on a 20%-30% off definitely worth it however if you decide on getting it for full price and don’t mind the plastic too much then definitely worth it too.
I have purchased this mouse a couple of months ago and I am quite satisfied with the product. It looks cool and I use it everyday for gaming. It’s really comfortable.
It reminds me of my MX Master 3 which I love and use for work, although not quite as agressive with the ergo slope and about 1/4 the weight. If you like mice like that, you’ll like this one.
It’s extremely light weight while still feeling like a well built, quality product. Feels great in the hand.
I switched to a Razer mouse for the first time a few months ago which was the Deathadder V2 Mini as I needed a really lightweight and claw grip mouse for precision, it was good but having medium/slightly larger hands it was generally way too small and trying to be accurate was inconsistent. (The sensor was also imperfect, flicking back and forth on the same spot resulted in the cursor being in different spots) I then decided to try the regular V2 mouse and instantly felt a huge improvement in accuracy, the glides were as perfect as a viper, the clicks felt very thonky instead of high pitch, the cord is better than any stock cord I’ve ever felt, the weight is about 79grams making it in the absolute perfect size to weight and of course the sensor has no delay and is unbelievably accurate, with a 1600dpi it feels crispy for my 280hz monitor and got me form hardstuck diamond/ascendant to immortal.
The size is pretty big so if you feel your hands are smaller than medium you’ll be limited in the ways you can grip it.
The only complaint I have is the ergonomic shape makes the sides which have a rubberised material not good enough for a perfect grip so as you can see in the pictures I applied the V2 Mini’s grip tape onto it which worked really well.
The mouse feels very premium, in video reviews the only thing people complained about is the clicks were kinda wobbly which is not the case at all, probably fixed it.
The Deathadder V3 Pro has become my main mouse that I use on the daily, so let’s get into it!
The overall shape is nice for the hand (I’m mainly a palm player), the hump is more towards the forward middle of my palm instead of the middle back. I think the Logitech G403 did a pretty great job with their shape when it comes to the hump, but it’s not much of a concern on the DAV3 being a little more forward.
The scrollwheel.. Now this is what put me off when reading a lot of reviews on here but I’ve personally had no issues with my scrollwheel, this is with constant gaming for almost a month now. I scroll to jump in CSGO so if this had an issue, I would’ve sent the mouse right back if it sucked.
You can feel each individual groove when scrolling, I’m not sure I’d say it feels as satisfying as the GWolves Hati but it’s definitely a great feeling non the less, no accidental scrolls here.
The buttons on the mice feel fantastic. Let’s start with the left and right click, they have a nice pressure to them, not too light and not too heavy, no accidental miss clicks.
The side buttons are unreal, they’re the perfect size and feel satisfying to press.
Scrollwheel clicking is also the same as the side buttons, not too heavy, not too light, feels great unlike the heavy wheel click on the Steelseries Prime mouse.
No double clicking issues have appeared yet, everything looking good so far!
DPI Button is on the bottom, if you like it on the top well… RIP
The sensor is pretty much top of the line and you can’t really go wrong with it. There’s not much to say about the sensor apart from there’s no spin outs and that it works flawlessly.
LOD (Lift off distance) is something that actually matters to someone like me.. I played with Logitech mice for a long time and they all had low LOD’s so any mouse that has a high LOD feels ridiculous to me, I hate the feeling. Razer allows you to change your LOD from low, mid or high.
Software isn’t a big deal, most mice come with software these days unlike the zowie mice, it’s fine, it’s razer, nothing crazy to write about this. Install synapse, choose your lift of distance and dpi and you’re done.
Playing wireless usually lasts me a solid 3 days from 100% battery, since the mouse doesn’t come with RGB it lasts a long time without having to charge up. Speaking of charging the mouse, it’s pretty quick and you won’t be waiting around for too long.
I don’t play with the 4k dongle from razer which also drains battery life faster. I’m happy playing with 400dpi, 1000hz. I don’t really see a need to buy it at the moment.
-Thanks for reading this review! good luck in choosing your mouse 🙂
Bought this after having two Glorious Model O’s (first wired, then wireless) that broke after heavy use.
My only complaint out of the box would be that the skates feel a little rough compared to the Model O, but I did only use them for about 45 minutes before swapping over to the superglides that I ordered along with this mouse. I applied the stock grip tape as soon as the mouse arrived so I can’t give any opinion on how the mouse feels to use without it, but with it, it’s very comfortable and natural to use – there was no period to get used to the mouse even coming from a very different shape due to how ergonomic this mouse is. Demands a high price but honestly don’t think there are any real flaws with the product, so it’s deserved.
This is a great mouse wired or wireless.
I choose a wireless mouse so I can take it with me when using my laptop, where I use it wired on my desktop setup.
Its a great mouse, its got a good weight and its very responsive.
However, there are two things that I don’t like which make me regret my choice.
Firstly, I find the clicks to be very loud compared to previous Razer mice I’ve had.
Also, when used wired, there is a permanent green very bright ‘Charged’ LED light on the mouse. When you have an all white setup with white LEDs, its not a nice look. If there was a setting to either turn it off, or change it to white, then it would be amazing.
Almost the best mouse I have ever used. I have used MS, Logitech and others. This mouse is light, very ergonomic with great features. The accuracy is amazing! So why 4 stars?
It is a little bit too small for an adult hand IMHO. It is a little bit too light in construction to give that solid feel we like from a mouse.
Lastly: whilst some of the software (Razer Central, etc.) is useful, it comes with bloatware.
If this mouse was slightly larger and slightly heavier, with simpler (less intrusive) software … I think everyone would buy it!!!! (Who can afford it)
The coating which is a very good one and definitely an upgrade over the coatings you’ll find on older Razer mice, this mouse gets grippier the more sweaty your hands get.
The main clicks / side buttons and scroll wheel are all well tensioned, sound good and don’t require too much force to actuate.
Lastly the sensor, top of the line optical sensor which goes up to 8K polling rate which is double that of the wireless version which just so happens to cost double this so no problems there.
All in all, the value for money here is unbeatable. You will not get a mouse with these specs and build quality at this price from no other manufacturer. The only con some might say is the fact it’s wired but to be honest having a wire has it’s up sides such as not having the charge the mouse etc. Also you aren’t getting 8K on any wireless mice not yet atleast, and even when they start making them they will have awful battery life.
Anyways let me not waffle. I don’t usually leave reviews but this mouse really impressed me. Now to sell my Endgame Gear XM2we!
Firstly, the mouse is ergonomic and incredibly comfortable to hold, especially for small hands. The placement of the buttons (the two side buttons and the sensitivity button) is also really convenient and the mouse is nice and light, allowing it to glide very easily. While deciding on a mouse to buy I did a lot of research and looked at many mice since the average mouse tends to be a little big for my hands (for reference approximately 15cm length and 7.5cm width) and am very happy with this purchase. On the other hand, if you have medium/large hands I definitely would recommend buying different sizes of the deathadder as this is a great gaming mouse.
Secondly, the mouse is of great quality and seems to be made well. I haven’t had any issues with it at all so far and it still looks like new (for reference about 6 months of daily usage). I also really like how the wire is covered in a soft material as it stops any friction (although this does make dust stick to it easily). This helps the mouse glide even more nicely than it already does. The mouse has really good detection and I haven’t had any delays or issues at all. As well as that, the clicks don’t require much pressure and work as intended (the click noise is also nice). The scroll wheel is also nice and sturdy, has good grip, but also doesn’t require too much pressure.
Finally, the design. The mouse has a very nice design and it lights up very pretty. It’s also really nice how razer has a free software that allows you to alter the rgb and sync it with any other razer devices. The design is very sleek and looks nice with the rest of my setup.
Honestly, no complaints at all. I haven’t once thought a bad thing about this mouse, and it might just be the perfect mouse for me. A great mouse for small hands, and especially for gaming. I would definitely recommend 🙂
