The Razer DeathAdder V2 X HyperSpeed is a continuation of the DeathAdder lineup. It's a wireless-only option with the same shape and size as most of the other models in the series. The main difference is that its CPI buttons are now on the edge of the left-click button instead of behind the scroll wheel, which may make them difficult to reach for some people. The mouse feels well-built despite some minor flexing and creaking, and it's suitable for most hand sizes, although people with smaller hands may struggle to reach the CPI buttons when using a claw or fingertip grip. You can connect it via its USB receiver or Bluetooth, but you can't use it wired like the similar Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro. Performance-wise, it has outstanding click latency and a very low lift-off distance that you can adjust to your playstyle. Unfortunately, it doesn't have any side grips, which makes the mouse a bit slippery.

Popular Mouse Comparisons
The Razer DeathAdder V2 X HyperSpeed is a great FPS gaming mouse. It has the same iconic shape and size as the other models in the DeathAdder lineup, but it lacks a few features, like RGB lighting, rubber side grips, and the ability to use it wired. Also, its CPI buttons are now two edge buttons next to the left click instead of being behind the scroll wheel like the other models. While this new placement helps prevent you from accidentally changing your CPI in a crucial moment, some hand sizes that were comfortable with the older models might now struggle to reach the edge buttons. Otherwise, it's a great option if you're looking for a wireless gaming mouse with extremely low click latency, a very low and adjustable lift-off distance, and programmable buttons.
