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.

Our Verdict

0.0
Office/Multimedia 

The Razer DeathAdder V2 X HyperSpeed is great for office and multimedia use. It feels well-built, and it has a right-handed design suitable for most hand sizes using a palm or claw grip, though people with small hands will struggle to reach the CPI buttons. Using the customization software, you can remap all its buttons. You can use it wirelessly via its USB receiver or Bluetooth. Unfortunately, its scroll wheel lacks L/R tilt inputs and a free-scrolling mode.

Pros
  • Connects via receiver or Bluetooth.
  • Feels well-built overall.
  • All buttons are programmable.
Cons
  • Scroll wheel lacks L/R tilts and free scrolling.

Pros
  • Very low lift-off distance.
  • Superb click latency.
  • Feels well-built overall.
Cons
  • CPI buttons can be hard to reach.
  • Doesn't have as many buttons as dedicated MMO mice.

Travel 

The Razer DeathAdder V2 X HyperSpeed is great for travel. Since it's wireless, you can use it in tight spaces without worrying about a cable getting in the way. There's a space to store the receiver when it's not in use, and you can also use the mouse via Bluetooth. All default button functions work on both Windows and macOS, and it has onboard memory. It feels well-built, and it's suitable for most hand sizes using a palm or claw grip, but people with smaller hands will struggle to reach the CPI buttons with a fingertip grip.

Pros
  • Connects via receiver or Bluetooth.
  • Feels well-built overall.
Cons
  • Might be too bulky for some laptop cases.

    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.

    Check out our recommendations for the best gaming mice, the best wireless gaming mice, and the best Razer mice.

    Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed

    Track

    The Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed and the Razer DeathAdder V2 X Hyperspeed are both wireless-only gaming mice. The Basilisk X has a more ergonomic shape and a wrist rest. It has a wider CPI range and a more precisely adjustable CPI. On the other hand, the DeathAdder V2 X has better quality mouse feet with rounded edges, a lower lift-off distance, and two CPI switching buttons on the edge of its left click. Also, it has no RGB lighting and no side grips.

    Razer Basilisk V3

    Track

    The Razer Basilisk V3 and the Razer DeathAdder V2 X HyperSpeed are both great FPS gaming mice, but with very different designs. While the Basilisk V3 is wired with a more ergonomic shape, the DeathAdder is wireless-only and lacks a thumb rest. The Basilisk V3 has a dedicated sniper button, and its scroll wheel unlocks for free scrolling, making it more versatile. Comparatively, you can use the DeathAdder V2 X HyperSpeed wirelessly via its receiver or Bluetooth, and its two CPI buttons are on the edge of the left click. Also, it has no RGB lighting and no side grips.

    Razer DeathAdder V2

    Track

    Logitech G502 LIGHTSPEED

    Track
