This review is for the Deathadder V2 Pro Wireless.The Value: 7/10This mouse is more on the expensive side, but wow did it come in quick. One day shipping, impressive.The Shape: 10/10I loved the design of the first Deathadder, and it still reigns supreme. I have huge hands (easily can palm a professional basketball) and I’ve struggled with “esports mice,” notably the Glorious Model O Wireless. Button placement is great and it’s perfect for right-handed users.The Buttons/Clicks: 9/10The buttons and clicks feel a bit hollower compared to the Deathadder 2013. There’s just a slight more space needed to register a click. This is not a big issue and I’ve adapted fine. Response times are really quick with the new technology.The Quality: 10/10The mouse is really well-built. The rubberized sides feel good. It’s pretty much the Viper Ultimate specs with a different shell. It’s lighter than the Deathadder 2013 by 20 or so grams, so overall a great mouse.The Software: 6/10Here’s where everybody dumps their complaints. I know, the software requiring a login is dumb and invasive. It’s part of a higher-level product offering ploy. The fact that upon first plugging in the mouse, the computer pops up with an install for synapse and slows the computer down. I get it. My advice: setup an account, make your changes to RGB (which mine is off anyway), DPI, polling rate, etc., program multiple profiles using the onboard memory (in this case I have two DPI’s), then request to delete all of your user data through synapse. Delete account, uninstall synapse, then continue to live your life. You’ll be ok. If your worries about a gaming peripherals company “stealing and selling your data,” you’d be surprised of how much of your information you actually give on a daily basis just walking around in public with your Bluetooth on. Logitech has the same issue, so it’s rather hard to avoid.Overall: 9/10Tl;dr: Great ergo wireless mouse, bad software with easy workaround. Great for people who don’t like the ambidextrous esports gaming mouse shape.Highly recommended.

Pros:-Light weight (80g)-Left and right Optical switches-Speedflex cable (very, very nearly a paracord, it’s really good for a stock cable)-Focus+ sensor with asymmetric cutoff (more on this)-PTFE skates-Good scroll wheel-Snappy side buttons-Fantastic ergo shape-Synapse software (more on this)-Bright, clean RGB lightingCons:-No extra skates includedThoughts:So the con is the only nitpicky thing I could think of. More companies are starting to include extra skates and other components, and I’d like to see razer do the same. Aside from that, the mouse is fantastic. The buttons are very light to press, the weight is really good, etc…. This is a really good update to a very popular classic. Every gamer at some point has owned a Deathadder and each iteration is slightly better than the previous. This one leaps into the modern trends that gamers are asking for. The cable is so flexible it feels wireless, the weight is so light you won’t fatigue your wrist or hand during long sessions, the sensor is very accurate, and so on. Speaking of the sensor, I mentioned asymmetric cutoff. Alot of mice let you adjust the lift off distance, this does that and lets you adjust where it starts tracking when you set it down. A little extra control in the players hands. It also has a smart tracking feature that automatically adjusts the liftoff distance based on the surface. Useful if you play on different surfaces often. The synapse software is not required, but does give you extra control over the mouse. You don’t need to register an account to download it or use it. You can log in as a guest, fiddle, and uninstall if you want. Keep in mind, this is a large mouse, so if you have small hands, this probably won’t be comfortable to you. It is definitely one of the best ergo shapes available. I’d really like to see razer make these in different sizes. All in all, if you like the deathadder, you’ll love this upgrade. If you’re in the market for a large ergo mouse, give this a shot.

I’m really impressed, never thought I’d find a high quality gaming mouse for under $50 but this is it. Only two side buttons but that’s about all I use anyway, even when there’s a bunch of them. You can adjust the DPI in the software instead of having extra buttons on the mouse, which I like as well.The software that comes with it lets you adjust the brightness of the led and you can set it to sleep after 5, 10, or 15 minutes, or turn it off. Yes I love gaming but I’m not into all that rgb rainbow lighting, gigantic keyboards and mice that look like they came out of a comic book. Clean, white, and softly lit is very pleasing to me (I turned up the brightness for the pic, normally I keep it just a little brighter than the ambient lighting). Glorious PC makes a white mouse for $90 but it doesn’t have that simple, aesthetically pleasing look I was going for, it would have looked out of place on my desktop. Now I have to get a white xbone controller and my setup will be complete.

Oh One more thing! don’t bitch about the loose left and right click buttons it will do that for a few days because it is Brand new takes about after 5 thousands clicks the buttons will start to click normal again. like your old ones.

This is my main. I have the Viper Ultimate and the Viper mini from Razer as well as others from logitech such as the g305, g703 and the model d minus incoming. The Deathadder v2 is the one I perform the best with, no competition.I play claw and palm/claw with a hand size of 19.1 x 9.9cm and the ergonomics on this thing are hard to get used to, but once you do it’s hard to go back to any other shape. I wish there was an EC2 size variant to this because the mini is more like an EC4 and it’s too small for me. The DA is slightly on the big side for my grip style but it’s still very comfy and lightweight. The side buttons are a little too far forward for me to reliably hit the front side button which is a bummer.The sensor is flawless and is more reliable than the hero on my G703 which doesn’t like a few of my pads (I might’ve got a defective unit). The clicks are better than the viper ultimate, but not as good as the Viper mini but still good. Optical switches are different but not in a good or bad way just different the pros: they are quick durable and wont double click, the cons: the feedback is different and on the viper ultimate, almost mushy. The side grips are really nice and if you need extra grip try the Razer grips, I highly recommend them. The cable is basically non existent (I have a bungee), i cant feel it. The feet weren’t as good as the other new Razers for some reason speed wise. They would also catch my soft pad when swiping left/rear and I count figure out why so I replaced them with tiger arc 2s and they are better for sure. The build quality is very premium without being heavy.The price is perfect in my opinion. Out of all the mice I own this is the most fairly priced other than the Viper mini. In my honest opinion, itll take a lot for another mouse to take its spot as my FPS main.

I had an older version of this mouse before it started having problems with its buttons and replaced it with this newer version. It’s a great mouse and a good upgrade!Right away, I should note that you shouldn’t get too fooled/confused by the “8 programmable buttons” tagline–it’s counting every single button on the mouse, including the standard left and right click and buttons to adjust settings on the bottom of the mouse that you would never use during normal gameplay or computer use. The only two “extra” buttons on this mouse for gamebinding are the two on the left side you can click with your thumb. The other buttons are: left and right click, the mouse wheel, two buttons underneath the mouse wheel to adjust the DPI of the mouse, and a button on the bottom of the mouse to switch between profiles. So if you’re wanting more buttons to use during gameplay–like, say, having an entire MMO hotbar on your mouse–this isn’t the right one. It’s useful if you just want to have a couple of buttons that are easily accessed though! I like using my mouse buttons for stuff like push-to-talk and melee attacks in FPS games.As for the changes compared to the previous version of the Deathadder mouse, they’re small but for my use they’re good QOL changes. The biggest improvement is the spot underneath the side buttons where you’re meant to rest your thumb–in the previous version this was a glued-on rubber pad that game off after a year or so or use. In the V2 mouse, it’s now a textured part of the rest of the material of the mouse–the only way it’s coming off is if the entire mouse case comes off! I could see the texturing being warn a bit, but that’s certainly better than my thumb being gummed up by glue after the pad fell off!The other main change that I’ve noticed is that I think this mouse is slightly smaller than the previous version. This is great for me, since I’m a woman with small palms and long, thin fingers–I often have problems using gaming mice and controllers comfortably. That being said, I’m not sure if this would be as comfortable for users with larger hands–if you’re worried, I’d suggest seeing if you can get measurements for a mouse you find comfortable and then comparing it to the size of this mouse.I believe the profile and DPI buttons are also new features, although honestly I haven’t messed with that much since I’m not experienced with those settings and I haven’t needed it for my own gameplaying. It does seem like a good feature and the buttons seem like they’re good quality and I’ve never accidentally pressed them during gameplay, which is great. Probably want to check other reviews if you need more information there.Looks-wise, this is simple, but pretty looking mouse. The light on the logo and mouse wheel is really colorful but not bright enough to be distracting when the lights are off in the room. It’s pretty easy to use Razer’s software to change the color to your tastes, or you can leave it on a default setting where it cycles through various colors in a rainbow order. I know there’s also a feature that game devs can use to have the mouse colors be manipulated by the game itself, but I’ve only ever played one game where I know for sure this was implemented–Overwatch changes the color of the mouse based on the character you’re playing as. I don’t think it’s been used by many other games, and honestly I don’t find myself looking at my mouse that much while playing anyway–it’s probably a feature that’s more fun on keyboards.Overall, I think this is a really great mouse! I recommend it for people that game on their PC or otherwise use their computer enough to want something that has a few more features and/or is a bit more sturdy than a cheaper mouse. If you’re a huge tech nerd or want more button options, it might be a better idea to save up for a more expensive mouse. But I think at this price point this mouse has a lot of comfort and control.

I’m a bit of a Razer fanboy. I’ve been using the basilisk ultimate, which I love. Before that was the death adder V2 wired. When I saw the V2 DA pro came out, I couldn’t justify the cost, given I already have the basilisk ultimate. But when the DA pro was on a sale for $79 – it was too good of a deal to pass up. Their mouse has the best feeling mouse clicks that I have felt on any mouse. Also – I didn’t even realize it had Bluetooth until I turned it over to retrieve the usb dongle from its little compartment – where it still resides. Connected to a Bluetooth 5.0 dongle – this mouse is super accurate. Also – I’ve been using it daily for a week and it is still over 90 percent charged – gotta love BT 5.0. Battery life is significantly better than the Basilisk ultimate using usb dongle. If you are right handed and have a medium-size to large hand – this is the mouse. For reference – my hand is kind of wide – about 19cm x 10cm. Very comfortable, highly recommend.

This is surprisingly a significantly better mouse compared to the V1. I have purchased a lot of razor mice, and had many death adder mice over the years. This version is by far the best that I have tried.First,I’m really happy that they removed the side pads and replaced them with something that still feels soft but won’t come off. The old pads for your thumb on the left and right of the mouse would come off after about 6 months of use. I would purchase replacement pads and fix it or use epoxy to make a more permanent fix but it was kind of silly that that was such a big pain point. The V2 completely solves that problem.It also is surprisingly much lighter and it’s very noticeable.I don’t know what exactly they’ve done different with the cable, but for some reason it’s a lot easier to ignore it and I very much appreciate it.

Your browser does not support HTML5 video. I’m a faithful Razer mouse customer.Using Razer Chroma Studio to align Corsair Fans, GSKILL RAM, NZXT LED strip, & my Razer Deathadder is easy once you set them all up to be controlled by Chroma Studio. – Honestly, I found this out by accident as Corsair & NZXT do NOT play well together.
