This mouse was replaced by the Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro

The Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro is an excellent wireless gaming mouse. Its design is nearly identical to the Razer DeathAdder V2, but it now has wireless connectivity, and it can pair to two devices simultaneously for better multitasking. It has a right-handed ergonomic design that makes it very comfortable to use; however, it's on the bulky side, so it's better suited for medium to large hands. It has a light body and high-quality feet that allow it to glide smoothly. Every button is programmable, its Hypershift feature adds a second layer of programmable inputs, and even the lift-off distance is customizable. Unfortunately, it lacks software support for macOS, and the wheel doesn't have infinite scrolling and L/R tilt inputs.

You can see our unit's label here.

Compared To Other Mice

The Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro is an excellent wireless mouse for playing FPS games. It competes directly with the Logitech G Pro Wireless, and for the most part, it's a little bit better. However, the Logitech is lighter, and its customization software is available for macOS. For other options, check out our recommendations for the best gaming mice, the best wireless gaming mice, and the best mice.

Razer Viper V2 Pro

The Razer Viper V2 Pro and the Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro are wireless gaming mice with several noteworthy differences. The Viper V2 Pro has a symmetrical shape and is significantly lighter. It also has a slightly better sensor. On the other hand, the DeathAdder V2 Pro has an ergonomic, right-handed shape. It also has Bluetooth support and a storage compartment for its USB receiver, making it a better option for use on the go.

Logitech G Pro Wireless

Overall, the Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro is a bit better than the Logitech G Pro Wireless. The Razer has lower click latency and a customizable lift-off distance. It has feet that provide a smoother glide and is more comfortable to use. However, the Logitech is lighter, and it has software support for both Windows and macOS.

Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT

The Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT and the Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro are both excellent gaming mice. If you're a fan of ultra-light mice, the Logitech is the best option because it's one of the lightest wireless mice we've ever tested. It also has a lower lift-off distance and is fully compatible with Mac, which the Razer isn't. However, the Razer has RGB lighting, Bluetooth support, and more programmable buttons.

Logitech G703 LIGHTSPEED with HERO Sensor

The Logitech G703 LIGHTSPEED with HERO Sensor and the Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro are both great gaming mice that are also quite versatile. Both are somewhat lightweight and have a sleek and simple design. The Razer has better feet and more programmable buttons, while the Logitech has a wider CPI range, less CPI variation, and a lower lift-off distance. Both options can be used wired or wirelessly with their USB receiver, and the Razer also supports Bluetooth.

Razer Viper Ultimate

The Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro and the Razer Viper Ultimate are very similar performance-wise. The main difference is that the V2 is a right-handed mouse, while the Ultimate is fully ambidextrous. The Ultimate is lighter; however, the V2 has Bluetooth capability and a multi-device pairing feature.

Razer Basilisk V3

The Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro is an excellent wireless gaming mouse, while the Basilisk V3 is an excellent wired gaming mouse. The Basilisk V3 is a wired-only model with a thumb rest and three additional buttons. It also has a higher maximum CPI and a lower minimum lift-off distance.

The Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro has a typical right-handed button layout with two thumb buttons on the left side. The two buttons below the scroll wheel allow you to change the sensitivity, and the profile switching button is on the underside of the mouse. Every button is programmable, including the scroll wheel's up and down. It's compatible with Razer's Hypershift feature, which lets you access a second layer of inputs by holding down the Hypershift button. There isn't a default button for this, so you have to assign it yourself. The left-click in standard mode is programmable, but you have to assign it to another button first. For a similar gaming mouse that has five side buttons, check out the SteelSeries Rival 5. Or, for a wireless gaming mice that has hot-swappable switches for the left and right-click buttons, check out the ASUS ROG Keris.
