More than 15 years after the DeathAdder first debuted, it remains the gaming mouse and an easy recommendation to this day. It’s an impressive feat considering how much the gaming mouse scene has expanded over the years, but the DeathAdder continues to feel just about perfect to this day.
The DeathAdder V2 Pro has been our top pick since this list was first published. It’s not surprising that the mouse that finally knocked it out of that spot is… the DeathAdder V3 Pro, Razer’s flagship mouse that makes smart improvements to an already stellar design.
Like its predecessor, the DeathAdder V3 Pro is ideal for those with medium- to large-sized hands. It’s for right-handed players only thanks to the subtle curvature that creates a pocket for your thumb. The contour of the case gives it near-perfect ergonomics for your palm, fingers, and wrist.
The pair of side buttons (optical switches) have just the right amount of chunk and are located in ideal spots. The tactile scroll wheel feels great and is very accurate. All of the switches are graded for 90 million clicks, and the main buttons have an ultra-fast 0.2ms actuation. The optical sensor has been improved, offering up to 30K CPI sensitivity, as opposed to 20K in the V2.
If you’re upgrading from the V2, you’ll probably notice the weight difference first. The V3 Pro only weighs 63 grams, which puts it in the extremely lightweight category, and is significantly lighter than the 88 gram V2 Pro. Despite the reduced weight, the V3 Pro doesn’t lose any stability and the build quality is solid with no weak spots or creaks. The matte finish is resistant to finger smudges, whether you opt for the white or black model.
The V3 Pro can run for up to 90 hours on a full charge and connects via Razer’s 2.4GHz HyperSpeed wireless tech or via USB-C.
If you need RGB backlighting, you’ll want to stick with the V2 Pro. The V3 drops Chroma RGB backlighting, which is somewhat of a surprise considering this is a Razer product. But the V3 Pro is built for competitive gamers who don’t want distractions.
If you play a lot of first-person shooters and are right-handed, you can’t beat the DeathAdder V3 Pro.
