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.

Popular Mouse Comparisons
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.
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.
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.
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.
Although both mice are very similar since they use the same sensor, the Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro performs slightly better than the Razer Basilisk Ultimate overall. The V2 Pro is significantly lighter and has better quality mouse feet. It also has marginally lower click latency, either wired or connected with its USB receiver, and it has Bluetooth support, a feature which the Ultimate lacks. On the other hand, the Ultimate has a thumb rest and more programmable inputs. It also has a lower minimum lift-off distance, a scroll wheel with L/R tilt inputs, and a free-scrolling mode.
Test Results
The Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro looks nearly identical to the Razer DeathAdder V2. It has a right-handed design with thumb buttons on the left, and it's slightly slanted to provide better ergonomics. Except for the glossy plastic around the scroll wheel, the rest of the body has a matte black finish, including the rubber side grips. The logo on the back lights up, and you can customize it through software. On the bottom, there's a profile switching button, a physical switch to toggle between the 2.4Ghz connection and Bluetooth, and a compartment to store the wireless USB receiver. If you're interested in a wireless gaming mouse with similar performance but modular parts for customizing the look and feel of the mouse, check out the Pwnage Ultra Custom Wireless Ergo.
The Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro's build quality is great. It's entirely made out of solid plastic, and there aren't any loose parts. The left and right-click wobble a bit, but it isn't as noticeable as on the Razer DeathAdder V2. The cable and feet are both high-quality.
The Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro is light, although slightly heavier than the Razer DeathAdder V2, likely due to the added rechargeable battery. Note that the Lowest Weight result is obtained by removing the plastic plate that covers the receiver compartment on the bottom of the mouse. If you want a lighter mouse, check out the SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless or the Ninjutso Origin One X.
The Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro is very comfortable to use. It has a right-handed ergonomic shape that's identical to the Razer DeathAdder V2 and is better suited for a palm or claw grip. The side buttons are well-placed and easy to reach, except for those with small hands using a claw or fingertip grip. Unlike the similar Razer DeathAdder V2 X HyperSpeed, it has rubber sides to help with grip.
You can connect the Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro using its wireless USB receiver or over Bluetooth, and you can pair to two different devices for multitasking. You can charge it with the included cable or with the Razer Mouse Dock Chroma, although the latter is sold separately. The battery is rated to last up to 70 hours when using it with the USB receiver, and up to 120 hours over Bluetooth. That said, we don't test battery life.
The cable is excellent and a nice upgrade from the braided cable that Razer uses on other DeathAdder mice. It's long and flexible, but it still retains small kinks. You can use it while charging, and data is sent over the wired connection.
The mouse feet are outstanding. They provide a very smooth glide and don't feel scratchy on hard surfaces. There aren't any replacement feet included in the box, and they aren't available from third-party sellers yet. Thankfully, the feet are pretty thick and should last a while.

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.
The Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro has superb click latency. It delivers a very stable and responsive-feeling experience for gaming in any genre. The latency is higher and very inconsistent when connected via Bluetooth, but this is normal. It's recommended to only use Bluetooth for everyday browsing, productivity, or gaming genres that aren't dependent on reaction-based inputs.
The Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro has a sensor with a wide sensitivity range, which you can adjust in small increments. The polling rate is adjustable, too; you can set it to 125Hz, 500Hz, and 1000Hz. You can also customize the lift-off distance, from 1 to 3 mm. Due to testing limitations, we can only measure the lift-off distance in multiples of 1.2mm. That said, the lowest distance we measure is 2.4mm, even when it's set to 1mm in the Synapse 3 software.
The mouse wheel is pretty basic. It's rubber-coated to provide a better grip, and the wheel steps are very pronounced without causing much noise.
Razer's Synapse 3 software is great. It lets you adjust performance settings, customize the RGB lighting, remap buttons, and create macros. You can create custom profiles, and there's onboard memory to store them.
