Connectivity Wired Type  Standard The Razer DeathAdder V2 is an excellent FPS gaming mouse. It looks and feels almost identical to the Razer DeathAdder Elite, but has a much-improved cable, better feet, and a profile switch button. This mouse also now features on-board memory, so you can save your customization settings to the mouse, great if you want to use it on a Mac, as the Synapse 3 software isn't compatible with macOS. This mouse has a very wide and customizable CPI range, and its click latency is extremely low. It's well-suited for palm grip and should be comfortable for any hand size, though those with small hands likely won't find it comfortable for claw or fingertip grip.

The Razer DeathAdder V2 is an excellent FPS gaming mouse. Its click latency is extremely low, and it has a very wide customizable CPI range and high max polling rate. All of its buttons can be reprogrammed, and it's comfortable enough to use for long gaming marathons. It's great for palm grip for any hand

want a lighter and smaller mouse, check out the Razer DeathAdder V2 Mini or the ROCCAT Burst Pro, which has honeycomb-patterned holes.

Due to its wired and slightly bulky design, this mouse isn't the most portable, but as it's mainly designed to use with your gaming setup at home, this likely won't be an issue for most people. If you need better portability, the Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro is essentially the same mouse but wireless, so you don't have to deal with the cable.

It's a huge improvement over previous versions and feels very sturdy but is much more flexible and less rigid.

According to Razer, the L/R click buttons use optical switches, though we don't currently test for this. Every button on this mouse is programmable, including the profile switch button on the underside of the mouse, and you get a HyperShift button to add an extra layer of customizable actions.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants There are no variants of this mouse. This is the upgraded version of the Razer DeathAdder Eliteand the original Razer DeathAdder, which we haven't tested. If you're looking for a left-handed mouse, Razer makes a left-handed version of the original DeathAdder, though we haven't tested it.

Compared To Other Mice The Razer DeathAdder V2 is a decent upgrade over the Razer DeathAdder Elite. It's an excellent all-around gaming mouse that has among the widest and most adjustable CPI ranges we've tested. If you want something similar but with a more ergonomic shape, check out the Razer Basilisk V2.See our recommendations for thebest wired mice, thebest gaming mice, and thebestRazer mice.
