Razer DeathAdder V2 Gaming Mouse Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2020-03-18

It was only a matter of time till Razer would bring the latest technologies to its signature DeathAdder mouse; we have tested the mouse in The Division 2, Dying Light and Beyond: Two Souls and we were quite impressed with the comfort this mouse can offer, even during longer gaming sessions. The high-performance sensor is quite overkill for most mainstream gamers, but a delight for competitive gamers that need to squeeze even the last bit of performance out of their gear.

A Closer Look Contd.

The mouse has preserved the familiar look of the DeathAdder family, with the ergonomic shape, mainly aimed at palm grips; the top panel is made from textured plastic, that offers a good grip:

 

 

 

The middle portion, between the left and right buttons is populated by the scroll wheel and two programmable buttons, that are initially mapped for DPI step navigation. The left and right mouse button is the most frequently used, so Razer has installed its brand-new optical switches for it. The response time is insanely low at about 0.2 milliseconds, while the durability has been increased to about 70 million clicks. The scroll wheel has been tuned as well in order to offer less resistance, for easy cycling between weapons or tasks:

 

 

 

The left side panel does come with two more programmable buttons, that are easily accessible with our thumb finger; the rest area is textured too, for a better grip:

 

 

 

Besides the RGB-enabled scroll wheel, we do also have a RGB back logo, that is a signature of the DeathAdder design:

 

 

 

The right side panel was designed for resting our fingers but also features a small-dotted area for grip purposes:

 

 

 

For the bottom area of the mouse, Razer has used 100% PTFE feet, in a white color, as we have seen with the Viper mouse. Also, like on the Viper model, we will get to see here the Profile selector button, with a small RGB LED for confirming which profile we are currently using.

 

The 20K Focus+ sensor is also found here and was developed in cooperation with PixArt; as we have noted with the Viper, the mouse does perform flawlessly without any erratic movements or input lag:

 

 

 

One other aspect of the mouse we have really enjoyed is the Speedflex Cable, that is very flexible and reminds us of the shoelace cable from Dream Machines models:

 

 

 

Razer has also used its signature colors on the USB connector:

 

 

 

After plugging the mouse in a spare USB port, the RGB lighting will display in rainbow mode as well:
