I love this mouse!!! I used to use a g305 and comparing that to this it’s game changer when it comes to fps gaming.

After enjoying my DAV2 for years, I've now moved onto the next gen. I can't seem to put the mouse down anymore. And I've decided to daily it even bringing it into work.

What's not to love. All the specs, 4k, wireless and one of the lowest weight-to-quality ergo shapes on the market. A+ and we hope to see more advances.

I love this mouse, it might be my end-game. This mouse has the perfect grip and feel for me. Even though there are more affordable options for others, I feel like this mouse is a good recommendation for those that are willing to spend the money for this. Also uses optical switches, so it will never develop double-clicking issues.

I really am so happy I invested in this gaming mouse. It’s perfect for my hand and I can use it super easily and fast at the same time. My gaming speed has picked up. It glides and is accurate.

I’ve been using the Razer Deathadder V3 Pro for about a week now. I have been using it with my gaming laptop and PC tower for games and productivity tasks. I have a number of gaming mice already in my collection – Logitech G Pro Wireless and G604, and a SteelSeries Aerox 9. I would consider the Deathadder to mainly be competing against my G Pro – both lightweight non-MOBA wireless mice.
The Deathadder V3 comes with a tiny wireless 2.4GHz USB receiver, a quality braided 2m long USB to USB-C charge/extension cable, a USB-C to USB coupler, and stickers. The coupler is used with the receiver and cable if you are want to plug into the back of a PC, or you are worried about the distance creating latency issues. Battery life maxes out at 90hrs with a 1000Hz polling rate, and can be charged to full in 4 hours. Max sensitivity on the sensor is a crazy 30K which surpasses Logitech’s 25K Hero Sensor. The button switches are rated to 90 million clicks, which is a pretty significant lifespan even for a dedicated player.
The Deathadder V3 Pro signifies a decent departure from the design of the V2. At first glance they look similar, but a number of things have been updated, removed, redesigned, and improved. Having messed around with a loaner V2 earlier this year I had some idea of what to expect. First thing I notice was the shape of the Left and Right mouse buttons – they no longer flare out a ton, contours of been reduced, and they look/feel like most other mouse buttons (shapewise). The rubberized sides are now optional add-ons in the form of adhesive stickers, so you can decide what works best for you. The scroll wheel is also more prominent, which to me make it feel easier to manipulate.
To further drive home the departure from the V2 the V3 has dropped Bluetooth compatibility. Its also ditched the DPI +/- buttons on the top of the mouse for a single DPI button on the mouse that cycles through your presets in the Synapse software. The V3 has also gone full stealth mode – it is all black. There’s no RGB anything and only a tiny green indicator light ahead of the scroll wheel that indicates connection mode change, charging, etc. The V3 has also lost a considerable amount of weight – down to 63g. My lightest mouse prior to the V3 was my G Pro at 80g – my Aerox is 89g and my G604 is a chunky 135g. The outgoing V2 is 88g. That’s a 28% weight reduction from the V2. The removal of Bluetooth, rubberized grips, and redesigned mouse buttons likely all played a roll in this dramatic weight reduction.
The shell of the V3 is also one solid piece, so there aren’t any seams to routinely clean out. The shell of the mouse has a light texture to it, which I do like. I am used to the smooth/soft plastic on my Logitech mice, but I this works well. The 2 side buttons are, for me, perfectly positioned to where I don’t need to reach or reposition my hand to click both buttons (unlike my G Pro). On the bottom are 3 PTFE pads that allow the mouse to glide about on any surface. I have used it on a granite counter, wood desk, and cloth mousepad without any issues. The sensor also had no issues with the surface change – I could even reliably move around with the mouse on my leg.
For my daily usage I stick with my G604 for productivity purposes – more buttons and hyperscroll wheel are a boon for my CAD work. I swapped in the Deathadder for a few days just to give it a fair shake. Mouse clicks are lighter and click to hold/drag takes less effort. The scroll wheel was smooth and accurate enough for flying around my models – I didn’t experience any wheel bounce which can be very frustrating if you are trying to move quickly. The 2 side buttons are really the only programmable shortcut buttons, which is unfortunate. However, most of my shortcuts (95%) are jumping back and forth on web pages, file explorers, etc., which the V3’s 2 buttons handle just fine. I did notice some palm fatigue after a long stretch that I don’t normally get with G604 due to its thumb support contour. However, I think with more usage I would adjust and not have any issues.
As far as gaming goes the ultralightweight nature of the mouse is going to be polarizing for some. I have a few friends who prefer heavier mice for greater accuracy and control, and others who like the lightweight mice for speed/mobility. Its really going to depend on the game and player. That’s partially why I have a wider variety of mice – it lets me select the mouse best suited for the game I’m playing. With that in mind I played some of the games I usually play with my G Pro Wireless – Halo MCC and Portal 2.
Portal 2 often requires a decent amount of accuracy in portal placement, but speed of the placement when launching through portals is paramount in later levels and multiplayer mode. I was concerned that the lightness of the mouse might cause me to overshoot my placement – I left the DPI at the default 1600, which is what I felt comfortable using to start with. My horizontal placement was in good shape but I had a little trouble with overshooting in vertical at the start. I was able to get comfortable enough bump the X direction DPI up to 2500, but I left the Y at 1600. Mouse movement was quick and picking up the mouse up for a quick reposition was effortless due to the weight. Honestly it performed a little better than my G Pro, so I was happy with the result.
In Halo I play with a little higher DPI setting as I am a CQC focused player, so I need to look around quickly. I moved my DPI to X: 2800 and Y: 2000. I didn’t find any issues with overrunning my target. Movement, just in Portal was easy to adjust and be smooth with. However, I felt the click action held me back a little bit compared to my G Pro which has a lighter/shorter actuation. Burst fire and semi-auto weapons took some recalibration for my trigger finger. I also felt a little constrained by only have the 2 side buttons for programmable functions. I had melee and reload mapped to the side buttons, with fire and grenade mapped to the mouse buttons. I missed having the additional side buttons on the G Pro (2 on the left and 2 on the right) that I had zoom and grenade switching mapped to. These things can be overcome, but it was a downside for me. I like to move my hands on the keyboard as little as possible, so I appreciated those extra buttons on the mouse. I think my case may be a little niche because at some point you just go to a MMO/MOBA mouse if you want all the key bindings. That being said I liked the 2 side buttons on the V3 more than the side buttons on the G Pro. They are just easier for me to reach and they click actuation is nicer.
Overall, the Deathadder V3 Pro is a very well-made mouse. I have picked up on zero flaws in its build quality and usage. I haven’t had any issues with disconnects or lagging movement, and moving it from one computer to the another doesn’t faze it. I appreciated the redesigned elements and prefer it over the V2’s shape/styling. I would say picking a mouse is pretty subjective – if your hand size is medium to large, and you want an ultralight mouse than I would certainly recommend this mouse to you. The buttons are nice to click (and have a pronounced click noise), different surfaces didn’t faze it, and battery life is good. Gaming comes down to play style and preference – there were things I really liked compared to my other mice, and some things my old mice handled a little better. All things being equal there will always be trade-offs, but none of them were detrimental to my playing performance.
