Razer - DeathAdder V2 Wired Optical Gaming Mouse - Black

This is a very nice optical mouse. I've purchased the original DeathAdder (which I actually wore out... ahh the WoW days), the RGB DeathAdder Elite, and this is my first V2. There aren't a ton of differences, physically speaking, but they did change the buttons up a little (still similar, just different shape to them). The mouse is actually lighter, and they changed the braiding on the cable. It's "looser" now, but having dealt with it for a month at this point I can say I don't mind it at all and basically don't even notice anymore. It also has slightly different pads on the bottom that are white instead of the previous black. It includes a profile button on the bottom and on-board memory (do you need that? I don't... but it's cool to have if I was big on dialing in my "perfect settings" then took my mouse somewhere else... without my computer... and wanted to game? weird.). Plus it's sensor is great. They've all been really great. Do I notice a major improvement or something? No. The other DeathAdder's were also great, this one did not break that trend. It fits better in slightly larger hands than some other mice I've owned, and I prefer it over those other mice. Some of these that I've used (or still use when I must) include "standard" generic mice you get included with new PC's (Dell in particular), a Razer Naga, and even the wireless Logitech G403 (which is a nice wireless gaming mouse, but much heavier and not as comfortable). All in, this is, so far, my favorite mouse to use. If it broke right now, I'd hop my quarantined self in my car and curb-side pick up another of these. Let's just hope I remember pants. What day is it again? lol

Razer’s Deathadder Elite is on most lists as the go to for playing FPS (games such as Call of Duty Black Ops, Modern Warfare, and Fortnite. Razer added their new optical to the buttons making that that much faster than before. They trimmed the weight by providing a new form factor that feels even better than before in my hand. The flex cord is non noticeable so you feel like it’s wireless. The 2 buttons behind the scroll wheel are more defined and easier to quickly change DPI quickly per game of map where that might be needed. It is RGB enabled so you have like 16 million color variations to pick or create your own. The synapse software is easy to use and provides you the items that you can use. Polling rate goes up to 1,000, the IPS is 650, along with their Opticsl+ focus sensor for up to 20,000 DPI. I’ve been using the mouse for a while and it’s one I go to for quick, precise shooting in Modern Warfare. To be honest it is a fantastic mouse that I would highly recommend to anyone.

I am a long time DeathAdder fan and have owned many of the old ones up the DeathAdder Elite. Unfortunately my last one stopped working due to a common ESD issue where static electricity builds up inside and causes the left click to stop working. My review is going to be a sort of comparison to the DeathAdder Elite. When I first started using this new mouse I was very hesitant over the new grips but they are growing on me. Basically they added grips that are built into the mouse instead of the old glued on style that peeled off. The old grips were a lot stickier and stuck to your fingers with a claw grip. These new ones feel a lot slipperier at first but once your hand warms up the mouse it creates a nice friction that I can live with. Totally different but it get's the job done. This one now includes better feet made of Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTTE). I had custom PTTE Hyperglides on my previous mouse and there's no need to switch these out because they feel exactly the same as Hyperglides! The body style is slightly different and I can hardly tell the difference and I am a size Large in gloves with a 9" hand circumference. The scroll wheel feels different and is more stable stable in my option it just feels better and doesn't have any wobble. The left and right clicks feel different, if I had to explain it I would say it feels more hollow. The switches are optical activated vs the previous mechanical switches. So it sounds different as well but with headphones you're not going to tell. The cord is awesome as well, it's a new material that's a lot lighter you can barley tell there is a cord. Even better with a mouse bungee. The mouse is way lighter and that helps you make quick sweeps across your mouse pad a little bit faster with less effort. My only grips is I wish the grips felt like the old ones but these new ones are currently growing on me at the moment. Would recommend this mouse to anybody, it's a great mouse and should last forever with the new optical switches!

If you enjoyed the previous mouse you will probably like this one more.This is due to the fact that not only is it lighter,but it also has side grips that are built into the mouse so they won’t fall off like on the previous version.The scroll wheel isn’t as sturdy as the deathadder elites’ scroll wheel.So it might take some getting used to.The mouse feet is incredible and it feels really smooth.It feels as if the mouse just glides when it moves.But yeah it is definitely worth it and the 82g weight allows you to easily game without having to apply a lot of force to move it.

I’ve used deathadders for the better part of 10 years. And there isn’t much to say other than this is another one. It is a bit lighter than the OG and there is a patch of texture to the scroll wheel and where your thumb rests by the buttons... but not much else has changed. Oh, also RGB. If you are into that. 5/5, It’s a deathadder with a few upgrades.

This mouse is an improved version of all the Deathadders. I feel like this is the best Deathadder yet, and if youre considering getting a Deathadder, this should be your only option

Between the old DeathAdder and this one is a huge difference. For one thing V2 is a whole lot smoother than V1, it has more dpi settings than V1 and the cord is made of different material which doesn't get folded overtime unlike the V1 cord.

I bought this because my Razer darthadder elite was wearing down after the year I’ve had it and I loved the way it felt so I decided to buy a mouse that was basically the exact same other then a few miner changes that were for the better, like the new cord
