The Razer DeathAdder V2 Mini is an excellent wired gaming mouse. It's a smaller version of the Razer DeathAdder V2, and it's one of the lightest mice we've tested, making it great for FPS gaming and ultra-light gaming. It has a wide customizable CPI range and an amazingly low click latency that helps it feel very responsive. Unfortunately, due to its small size, those with larger hands will be limited to a fingertip grip, although small or medium hands should have no problems using it with any grip type.
Our Verdict
The Razer DeathAdder V2 Mini is a decent mouse for office use. It feels very sturdy and well-built, but due to its small size, it's only decently comfortable. The scroll wheel doesn't have an L/R tilt or an infinite scroll unlock button, which isn't ideal for scrolling through long documents.
- Highly customizable.
- Great build quality.
- Small size may be uncomfortable to some.
- Basic scroll wheel features.
The Razer DeathAdder V2 Mini is a great FPS gaming mouse. Its click latency is so low that even competitive gamers shouldn't notice any unresponsiveness, and its CPI range is quite wide. Also, it's extremely customizable and all of its buttons can be reprogrammed. It's suitable for all hand sizes with a fingertip grip, but small and medium hands can use it with claw or palm grips as well. However, it's only decently comfortable due to its small size.
- Very lightweight.
- Amazingly low click latency.
- Great build quality.
- Small size may be uncomfortable to some.
The Razer DeathAdder V2 Mini is a great MMO gaming mouse. Although it doesn't have as many buttons as dedicated MMO mice, all of the buttons it does have are reprogrammable. However, due to its small size, it may not feel very comfortable for long gaming sessions.
- Amazingly low click latency.
- Highly customizable.
- Great build quality.
- Small size may be uncomfortable to some.
The Razer DeathAdder V2 Mini isn't designed for travel. Its non-removable wire might get in the way in tight spaces like on a bus or plane. On the plus side, it's a small and lightweight mouse that shouldn't feel heavy when you slide it into your laptop bag.
- Very lightweight.
- Wired-only design.
- Small size may be uncomfortable to some.
