Razer DeathAdder V2 - Wired USB Gaming Mouse with Optical Mouse Switches (Focus+ 20K Optical Sensor, 8 Programmable Buttons, 5 On-Board Memory Profiles) Black

I picked this up in 2022 and have been using this for 7+ hours daily since then and it has not let me down. The ergonomics of this mouse are excellent - a great size that fits my hands well and is the ideal weight for both gaming and vector art. I have not yet come across another mouse that matches it. Prior this this, I had the V1 and the quality did improve a lot, such as the side grips which are now part of the mouse chassis instead of stickers. After three years, the left grip has worn down quite a lot but it still quite comfortable. The DPI switcher works great - I do appreciate having two buttons to increase or decrease DPI rather than having just one that cycles through like many other mice. RGB effects through Synapse look nice, and very customisable - very easy to set up. Very much worth the money, I hope to see this last another year or two at the least!

Fantastic Mouse, will be keeping it for many years, feels like it is very durable will last. Very happy with this upgrade, perfect time for my old DAv2 Pro Wired to be retired (Awesome Mouse). I upgraded from the DAv2 Pro Wired to DAv3 Pro Wireless during Prime Week just days before the DAv4 Pro Wireless was announced so returned the DAv3 Pro after a few days of use and bought the DAv4 Pro instead. Without a doubt the DAv4 Pro is an upgrade on the DAv3 Pro in every way. Even if only subtly in places its noticeable throughout. New coating / feel of the mouse is great, light as a feather, feels like it fits better in my hand than the DAv3 Pro, possibly a tiny bit longer and maybe closer to the DAv2 Pro length (which I preferred). Despite being lighter it feels noticeably sturdier than the DAv3 Pro. Can definitely feel the difference with the larger skates, glides so smooth. Sensor picks up all movement perfectly, it feels so responsive and has worked on any surface so far. Wireless range is very far, worked far enough away where I could no longer see my Monitor. Mouse button clicks feel more tactile / slightly firmer than the DAv3 Pro for sure, also has a nice strong and deeper click sound. Having a gap between the side buttons now is much better. INSANELY Good Battery Life!

Bought this mouse as a replacement for my 4+ year old DeathAdder V1 and I have been really impressed with all the new features. I can genuinely feel the difference between the new and old sensor and find that it has made my accuracy in games like Rainbow Six Siege ever so slightly better. It has also made daily tasks from browsing the internet to doing homework much more enjoyable as it feels much more snappy and responsive. On top of this, the new switches are a big step up from the original and feel more solid and premium, virtually eliminating the rattle that existed in my older model. The new thumb grip also feels a surprising amount more comfortable to use and works wonders in conjunction with the new glide pads that are much bigger and have a different, smoother material than in the DeathAdder V1. I was excited about the extra DPI buttons below the scroll wheel and unfortunately, while I'm sure they could come in handy at some point, I have found no use for them even after I reprogrammed them into usable keys. Macro enthusiasts could definitely find them handy though. Overall this is a solid mouse that I'm sure will last me as long as I need it to. 5/5

New optical mouse 1/2 buttons take some getting used too but should last longer than standard microswitchs, the new glide feet are massive, and those two extra buttons behind mouse wheel are a handy addition. New mouse wheel gives more feedback so less likely to over/underscroll, and both side buttons feel exactly same as the older 2013 editions. New cable flex is very nice, supplied softwares ok and you dont actually need to use it beyond initial setup. My only real gripe coming from a DeathAdder 2013 Edition (Which still works fine), is this new models far too light weight! I find it's so lacking in weight that it's all too easy when aiming/spamming m1 or m2 to accidently move the mouse a tiny amount when using it with any high qualty mouse matt (Such as tempered glass or quality plastic pro glide models). Might be ok with basic fabric mats but i've always favoured tempered glass or quality plastic mats which always last the test of time. Will most likely end up modding some weights into the inner chassis at a later date. Only other issue for me is the chassis plastic seems just slightly thinner when compared to my older Deathadder 2013 model, so feels a tad 'el-cheapo' by comparison. £30.00 inc delivery = yes it's worth a look, however if cost is higher then look elsewhere.

I switched to a Razer mouse for the first time a few months ago which was the Deathadder V2 Mini as I needed a really lightweight and claw grip mouse for precision, it was good but having medium/slightly larger hands it was generally way too small and trying to be accurate was inconsistent. (The sensor was also imperfect, flicking back and forth on the same spot resulted in the cursor being in different spots) I then decided to try the regular V2 mouse and instantly felt a huge improvement in accuracy, the glides were as perfect as a viper, the clicks felt very thonky instead of high pitch, the cord is better than any stock cord I’ve ever felt, the weight is about 79grams making it in the absolute perfect size to weight and of course the sensor has no delay and is unbelievably accurate, with a 1600dpi it feels crispy for my 280hz monitor and got me form hardstuck diamond/ascendant to immortal. The size is pretty big so if you feel your hands are smaller than medium you’ll be limited in the ways you can grip it. The only complaint I have is the ergonomic shape makes the sides which have a rubberised material not good enough for a perfect grip so as you can see in the pictures I applied the V2 Mini’s grip tape onto it which worked really well. The mouse feels very premium, in video reviews the only thing people complained about is the clicks were kinda wobbly which is not the case at all, probably fixed it.

Great mouse, mediocre software. Anyone that's had a razor mouse for any period of time knows of the infamous double clicking issues that plague the brand, so seeing the optical switches in their standard Deathaddar design was a win. I have fairly large hands and prefer a palm grip, and confirm the mouse is very well suited and comfortable for long periods of use. The cord is another kind of voodoo, offering practically zero resistance due to its weight and flexibility. As with razor products you are forced to create a cloud account to configure the mouse at all, thankfully once you've setup a few profiles you can uninstall the software and use the toggle switch on the bottom of the mouse to quickly switch between the modes (indicated by the adjacent LED light). One drawback of the mouse is the buttons on the top of the mouse, these are practically inaccessible without adjusting your grip, so these are best suited for OS functions like switching music tracks rather than gameplay. Thankfully the side buttons are always available and easy to press. Overall time will tell how these new optical switches hold up, but the past 5 months have been problem free

Well hopefully find this interesting as the Death Adder V2 is actually a decent step up from the previous model which I bought about 3 years ago and still going strong. The first point about the DeathAdder 2 is that the mouse skates (feet) feel a lot smoother than on the Deathadder 1 and they feel a lot more durable. Also having replaced the skates on my V1 the process for replacement (not that you would need to for a couple of years) looks a lot more simple with only two strips that you would have to fit. The software from Razer is good but please be aware that it can cause lag issues in some games, so some people choose to install the software, setup the mouse to their specs and then uninstall the software. The mouse will store profile on the device which means... you can actually take it to somewhere else and it will behave exactly like it does on your pc! Great if you fancy having a lan or using the mouse on a device that does not have the software installed. I'm really happy with the quality of the mouse, I have long fingers and the mouse is very comfortable to hold but it feels lighter which helps with movement. If you are happy with the V1 I'd urge you to try out the V2 as I am really happy with the upgrade, the speed of the mouse and new lighter weight make it worth the money. If you liked the V1 you'll love the V2 :)

A very cleanly designed, extremely comfortable mouse with bright and vibrant RGB lighting which looks great, especially in the scroll wheel which is something I haven't seen before personally. Going from a Logitech G502 this mouse is much more comfortable and the weight difference makes for a much more pleasant experience. I instantly found myself aiming faster and not overshooting when I flick around quickly or follow a close moving target. No the difference is not massive but it is noticeable and it does make a difference. The mouse feels quality even though it is light weight. The grips and very slightly rough finish of the plastic gives the mouse a nice grippiness which stops you slipping on it. The buttons feel very responsive but not overly sensitive and have a nice assertive click sound. I'd strongly recommend this mouse for anyone who wants a clean looking mouse and has an average or larger hand, anyone with a smaller hand may find this mouse too big. The only issue I have this this mouse is the lack of a free spinning mouse wheel however this is likely a weight saver and it isn't the end of the world, it's just a nice thing to have but it's not a deal breaker.
