So light, it shocks you!

Wow! This is the lightest mouse I've ever used in my life. I was shocked the first time I used it, its amazing at just 59g. Most lightweight mouses use a honeycomb/holes design to shave weight. I hated those because all the dust and stuff that can get inside. Not with this guy. It's so light and its fully covered. The material almost feels like a velvety plastic, it does add a nice grip on it and it's very comfy.
The mouse is mostly for right handed people, as it has an ergo tilt to the right, almost like a gradient, making it super comfy. Razer has made this mouse for pure performance. There is no RGB on it (I guess to save weight). The only color LED is on the bottom of the mouse, right by the DPI switch (to change your DPI on the fly) and the LED color changes accordingly to your DPI preset, nice touch!
The cable is super nice and almost like fabric like, I had no problem routing the cable around my desk and is very long. Once you plug it you can use it straight up, however if you want to fully customize your buttons, DPI, sensitivity etc, its highly recommend to install their Synapse 3 software (check my pics). I must say, Razer has improved in this area, the app looks nice and I did a thorough check up to see if it was eating lots of resources, and I'm glad to report that its not, it's very lightweight and does not up much CPU cycles nor RAM. I left it installed. However the mouse has onboard storage for up to 5 profiles, so if you want you can customize them as you want, then save them on your mouse and you can either take the mouse to tournaments or uninstall the software and your profiles will be there in the mouse itself.
I love they are not skimping on their sensor and switches either. It has their amazing 30k optical sensor (seen on their top of line mouses) and also their optical switches on the two main buttons too, meaning response is lightning quick and they will last you for a long time, frag away!
If you want a super lightweight mouse, focused on all performance without any distracting RGB, this is the one!
TLDR:
PROS:
+Razer's 30k optical sensor
+Optical switches on main buttons
+Super light weight and no holes or open design where dust and debris can get inside
+Up to 8000 Hz polling rate
+Fully customizable via Synapse 3
+5 onboard profiles memory
+No distracting RGB
+Onboard dpi change button at the bottom of the mouse.
CONS:
-Only for right handed people (I guess lefties can use it, but won't be as comfy).

Lightweight mouse for that extra frag

The Razer DeathAdder gaming mouse is a line of gaming hardware whose hardware names are inspired by the venomous snakes and other creatures in the living world. Razer has been around in the gaming accessories business for a very long time, and they make quality products that last. I love that the retail box that this mouse comes in is both eco-friendly and smart packaging.
The wired mouse is made of quality black plastic and weighs about 60 grams. The wire is thin, flexible, woven with fabric, and does not add much weight to the mouse. The overall mouse weight is lighter than other gaming mice in this category. The buttons are light and clicky, but not too clicky. The right-hand configured mouse has forward and back buttons on the right thumb for quick web page browsing.
After a week of using this mouse, it's hard to go back to my regular gaming mouse. This is SO light, and while I was afraid the weight would affect gaming performance, it seems not to have that effect; if anything, the fatigue of fast-action FPS games goes away with a lighter mouse. The accuracy of an FPS game is adjustable, and the mouse supports five levels of sensitivity - with a default of 1600 dpi is plenty for everyday use. In my experience, the mouse was a delight to play some fast-action games.
I played around with the Razer Synapse 3 software which allows the user to set preferences for all Razer products, and in the case of the mouse, allow for storing macros and shortcuts in the mouse for quicker access. The software is not necessary to use the mouse, but it brings some advanced features, including connection with other light automation and chroma RGB automation, to your gaming experience. If you are using the Chroma RGB on your desktop or other gaming accessories, the Synapse 3 is a must-have.
Overall feel of the mouse is excellent and well worth it if you are looking for a quality gaming mouse with no frills. The basic black mouse has only one LED to identify the various DPI modes, and that is about it. It's quite stealthy for a gaming mouse

Basic gaming mouse that gets it done

Razer is well known in the gaming industry so I was curious to give one of their mouse devices a try.
Upon receipt, your presented with classic Razer presentation. A nice box, cloth like storage bag, nice paper work and even a quality USB cover.
As for the mouse itself, it is very basic in the best way.
For Esports and precise gaming you want to eliminate a lot of the extras and focus on ergonomics, weight, response time and especially a lightweight cord that doesn't drag your mouse so there is as little resistance as possible when darting your mouse hand around.
The Razer DeathAdder does manage to check most of those boxes. The mouse itself is very spartan in design. It almost reminds me of an old school PS/2 mouse at first glance. It has left, right and center scroll along with two auxiliary thumb buttons.I think it might be the lightest mouse I've ever used. My current EVGA X15 feels like a monstrosity next to it both in size and weight. It has a look and feel similar to my Logitech G403.
When you first plug in your mouse, depending on configuration, you will be prompted to install the Razer Synapse software suite. I tried the mouse with and with out it and I found no real differences for my gaming that warranted a 480MB+ install for use.
There is zero RGB on this mouse. It has a jet black, stealth look to it I like.
I tried it playing both Fallout 76 and World of Warcraft (my go to games) and it is definitely a competent gaming mouse. Responsiveness is very nice and the light weight makes flicking about the screen effortless. Scroll functions work as intended and mapping the thumb buttons for looting and inventory was quick and easy.
If I had one negative thing it would be the texture of the mouse. For such a light weight device, I would have liked just a bit of granular texture on the mouse at least on the sides when lifting and moving. It does feel a bit too slick especially when repositioning.
Another are the skates on the bottom. There were no extras included for replacing when the current ones start to wear or grip over time.
So when all is said and done will I replacing my primary desktop gaming mouse? No, but due to its light weight and portability I will be making it my primary gaming laptop mouse.

Comfortable, accurate and very responsive

I’ve been gaming with this mouse for the last week or so, and I really like it. I thought it was a little too “light” initially but the longer I sat there and played with it on my table top, the more comfortable it felt in my hand. It glides on my table nice and smoothly without a mouse pad. That is perhaps my favorite thing about it. I game with a laptop, usually on my dining table. So the less accessories I have to carry with me, the better. I have had absolutely no issues playing my FPS shooters with this mouse on a table top. It is still quick and accurate enough for me. It is pretty basic and only had a few clickable buttons. It has the typical left and right click. The side “up and down” clicks and the scroll wheel which also clicks. You can customize what you want each button to do with the included software that will install when you first plug into your windows computer. You can change the “dpi” also with the software or the click of a button that is located underneath. I opted to use the default speed since it is fast enough for me and I can still aim and point accurately with it. The braided cable feels pretty premium, and it includes a small carrying bag for it. The mouse itself feels well built even though it is made of very lightweight material. I don’t think I’ll be breaking it anytime soon. All in all, I can recommend this mouse to anyone who wants a fairly compact, lightweight and comfortable / ergonomic gaming mouse. There is no fancy RGB lighting on it, but I am totally fine with that. I really like the sleek matte / modern design of this mouse. It compliments my laptop / workspace area nicely and is excellent for gaming.

Responsive and lightweight

I’ve owned a number of gaming mouses and each have their pros and cons while often offering similar performance and control. I’ve used a previous version of this mouse, and while this one performs equally as well, I can’t say I’ve noticed any significant changes during gameplay. I mostly play RPGs and MOBAs, with the occasional shooter, and have noticed consistent tracking and responsiveness throughout.
The only drawback I’ll report is the mouse is very smooth and has a smooth curve, which means when I first pickup the mouse, it’s a little slippery. Once the heat from my hand warms up the mouse, it’s becomes much more grippy, and I don’t have any noticeable issues during use. The last 2 gaming mice I’ve used had either a built in grip surface, or had grip tape included for the smoother mouse. I never realized the significance until making the switch between smooth and grippy mice.
The only other minor gripe is where the DPI switch is located. It’s underneath the mouse? So in order to change the dpi, you have to flip the mouse over. It’s not a big deal, but I prefer a mouse where I can change the dpi mid game if needed, or have easier access when switching games.
Overall though, this mouse boasts great performance at a reasonable price point. If you’re looking for lightweight plus performance, this is a great buy.

Needed this to go back to high DPI for FPS, this served the purpose. Much better build quality than my old mamba, far better tracking than my zowie.
The 8khz polling is great and the DPI ceiling is higher than you'll ever need for 4k.
I love the new design. The buttons with separate pieces make clicking further back on them much easier, the pressure to click the mouse is more consistent across the whole button.
The only issue I have is that fine motions are difficult on a cloth mousepad, I had to switch to a hard plastic one. This is only really a problem over 8000dpi.

I PREFER THIS WIRED GAMING MOUSE OVER WIRELESS

RAZER DEATHADDER V3 ULTRA-LIGHTWEIGHT ERGONOMIC ESPORTS MOUSE - BLACK
MODEL:RZ01-04640100-R3U1
I PREFER THIS WIRED GAMING MOUSE OVER WIRELESS
The RAZER DEATHADDER V3 is good value for a high-end gaming mouse. The Razer is certainly worth a consideration if you are after value and performance. Personally, I prefer a wired mouse like this, so I don’t have to worry about specialized drivers, lag time from wireless, and worse of all wondering if I remembered to charge the mouse before I started gaming. Wired always works and is one less thing to worry about.
The specs for the mouse boast 8000 Hz polling rate. Though to be honest, I can’t tell the difference performance between this and the wireless version. (I’m not a pro level gamer, by any measurement).
The mouse is lightweight and performs well. I have no complaints, it works great.
SUMMARY
The RAZER DEATHADDER V3 is a great every-day gaming mouse. It performs well and is lightweight. I recommend it for overall value and performance.

I've been using Razer products since the release of the Razer Boomslang. Not every device has been great, but this mouse is an exception. It's light weight, feels great under your hand, and the button placement is about as perfect as it can get. It's also priced better than many other Razer products.
On one hand, I would like if it offered a few more features, such as a dpi switch button on the top of the mouse, or resistance setting for the scroll wheel, but on the other hand, I think its simplicity is part of what makes it such a great and reliable mouse.

I purchased the DeathAdder v3 originally to test out 4K and 8k polling rates to see if ordering the 4K wireless dongle for my v3 pro was worth it and upgrade my work computers mouse. Already having the wireless version I knew I like the shape and weight. It’s great for palm and claw grip and depending on your fingertip grip style and hand size it works for that too (my preferred grip style) though most fingertip grip users will not like the shape.
I mainly play FPS games and do enjoy playing aim trainers so I tend to notice some of the more subtle performance differences between mice. Both 4K and 8k polling rates do provide an improvement over the standard 1k hz polling most people probably won’t even notice the difference.
One unexpected thing I actually really liked about the mouse is it’s a different coating than the wireless version and I felt it has more grip to it. I actually decided to switch to this as my main mouse I like the grip that much.
Pro’s:
Lightweight
Good shape
Up to 8k hz polling
Coating
Con’s:
Cable isn’t the best quality and can vent pretty easily and kinked.
TLDR: Excellent mouse as long as you don’t mind a wired connection.

Quality Gaming Mouse Beats the Competition

This mouse has been night and day different when gaming with a Logitech G502 Hero. A few differences are the DeathAdder is extremely lightweight but sturdy. The ergonomics are very comfortable for my large palms. It's also way more responsive, which is great for FPS games.
My only negative feedback is that the software that allows you to customize buttons, pull rates, and DPI has issues recognizing the mouse when I boot up the computer. This causes your profiles to disappear, so I've had to redownload it a few times, though this only takes a few minutes.
I highly recommend this as a starting gaming mouse for anyone looking to get into PC gaming. It's also great for anyone who's been gaming for a while, like me and is looking for a change. Great quality and fair price.

It's a fantastic mouse. I love how lightweight it is, ergonomic, one of the best polling rates in all of gaming mice, no battery necessary, neat light cable. I've got no complaints! If you're in the market for a nice gaming mouse, I'd go with this.

If you're looking to swap back to wired from wireless, look no further. This mouse has everything you want in a modern mouse if you're a palm/claw grip player. The latest sensor, your choice between 100/500/1000/2000/4000/8000 polling rate (depending on the game you play). The paracord has a few knicks in it that you can get out from some light bending. You could also hold its tension overnight by stringing it out after you get the major knicks out. TLDR Value, Performance, shape, and weight are all ideal for high-octane performers. Are you up to task?

This mouse is everything I was looking for pretty much--the DeathAdder shape, fast sensor, wired so I don't have to charge it, and extremely light compared to my previous OG DeathAdder. If you owned an older DeathAdder and are looking for a new mouse/upgrade, might as well give this a shot.

Immediate impression was its weight. It’s one of the lighter mouse on the market weighing 59g. This is the same weight as the WIRELESS alternative, Razer Viper V2 Pro. I opted for wired because it’s more reliable, less wireless interference, doesnt require charging, and its cheaper. On sale it is $50. The Viper V2 Pro is at least twice the price. There is also the wireless version of the Adder but it is thrice the cost of this wired mouse. The shape is very ergonomic for bigger hands, the clicks and scrolls are tactile and satisfying. The speed/accuracy is great. I highly recommend this mouse.

The Deathadder is your typical Razer product, great feel/presentation and performance coupled with great integration software. I was super impressed with how well built the mouse was when taking into consideration it weighs nothing.
The good:
The Deathadder comes with great response rate which can be adjusted easily with the click of a button and the added light change is a nice little touch. This mouse was made for gaming, the precision is second to none in my opinion and the customization's allowed using Razer gaming software makes it this mouse a must have for any gamer.
The mouse has a satisfying click when any of the buttons are pushed which I can appreciate.
Razer has used nice dark coating which has not left any smudges yet, but I don’t have sweaty hands and I feel it will show some “staining” depending upon your use.
The cable is nice and long and its super well built, I feel it will stand the test of time no problem. I also think this is why Razer was able to make the mouse to precise, I know everyone is going Bluetooth now a days but you can’t beat directly wired for so many reasons and the benefits far outweigh the negatives.
The bad:
The ergonomics are not as advertised, I started to get hand cramps after using the mouse for about 2.5 hours.
Overall the Razer DeathAdder V3 is one of the best gaming mouse I have used and has a great blend of fit, feel and precision. This mouse can work for gaming or a business environment since nothing about it screams gamer as other products. My only issue is the long use comfort for the mouse which caused me issues.

It’s pretty cheap for the performance. VERY lightweight. It’s pretty nice for triple A titles. Goes from 1,000-8,000hz response speed. 4-8khz require lots of processing power, even with my Mid-High tier pc setup I struggle to run 8khz on very graphically intense games

I wanted a responsive gaming mouse that was simple to use, I do not want 20+ buttons. I purchased this recently and found it amazing. The absolute lightness of the mouse makes it a breeze on the wrist for gaming. The M1 and M2 mouse buttons are crisp to respond and feel great. I have a FEW mappable buttons for my usual crouch/prone, grenade/melee but they are easy to access yet simple enough to make misclicks extremely rare. Overall, wn outstanding mouse.

Been using this mouse for about a month now. I watched a lot of youtube videos and I'm pretty picky about size. I have a medium to large hand size and this just feels so perfect to me. It's super light which takes some adjusting and I honestly can't tell that it's wired. The only thing I will say, if I really want to be picky, is that the scroll wheel does feel like it may not last two years? (warranty).
