Our Verdict

Razer DeathAdder V2

Razer DeathAdder V2 Mini

The Razer DeathAdder V2 is a better mouse than the Razer DeathAdder V2 Mini. It has better ergonomics, a wider and more adjustable CPI range, and a slightly lower click latency. However, the Mini feels better built, and it's much lighter, making it great for fans of ultra-light gaming mice.
