Notice: This mice was replaced by 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.

    Razer Basilisk V3

    Track

    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. Also, it has a scroll wheel with L/R tilt buttons and a free-scrolling mode. On the other hand, the Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro is lighter and connects either wirelessly with its USB receiver or Bluetooth or wired with its charging cable.

    Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT

    Track

    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.

    Razer Viper Ultimate

    Track

    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 DeathAdder V3 Pro

    Track

    The Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro is an updated version of the Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro. Both mice have very similar right-handed shapes best suited for larger hands using a palm or claw grip. However, the V3 Pro has a slightly modified shape compared to the V2 Pro and other earlier versions in the DeathAdder lineup. The updated V3 Pro is also significantly lighter, offers better gaming performance, and has longer battery life.
