Razer, the world’s leading lifestyle brand for gamers, today releases the new DeathAdder V3 Pro. This is the latest model in Razer’s most popular and best-selling series. So let’s look at the mouse and tackle the most important question. Is it worth it?
Anyone who has dealt with a gaming mouse will be familiar with Razer’s DeathAdder series.
The DeathAdder was first released in 2006 and with over 15 million units sold, the series is one of Razer’s most successful series. Now Razer is launching its latest model, his V3 Pro. They’ve improved the grip, combined with a more ergonomic shape, and managed to shave a few grams off the overall weight. But is the upgrade worth it?
Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro review
First, here are the specs so you can compare with your current mouse.
- The V3 Pro comes with a Focus Pro 30K optical sensor (works with clear glass 2mm or thicker).
- The mouse uses Razer’s Gen-3 switches rated for 90 million clicks.
- There are 5 individually programmable buttons and an additional DPI button.
- Get up to 90 hours of battery life on a single charge
- The mouse is rechargeable via USB Type-C and comes with a Speedflex cable for smooth movement.
- Weight: 63 grams for black model, 64 grams for white model (excluding cables)
- Approximate size: 68mm (width) x 44mm (height) x 128mm (length)
Impressive specs, right? The V3 is arguably the best gaming mouse the industry currently offers. In fact, Razer asked the esports head his professional to test the mouse, and he donated his two cents during development.
Appearance and handling
Gone are the days of over-the-top accessories covered in blinding LEDs. With the DeathAdder V3 Pro, Razer has opted for a more subtle look instead. The mouse looks simple, but it’s high quality. Apart from the logo (another color), the V3 uses a single tone of black or white.
The mouse is very comfortable to hold thanks to its ergonomic shape. Razer has managed to save 25% of its weight compared to its predecessor, making it even smoother to handle. The only buttons sticking out of the frame are his two custom assignable thumb buttons.
Technical specifications
At the heart of the DeathAdder V3 Pro is the Razer Focus Pro 30K optical sensor with 99.8% resolution accuracy. Powerful sensors are supported by various AI features such as smart tracking, motion sync and asymmetric cutoff for ultimate performance in the highest level of gaming.
Additionally, Razer’s Optical Mouse Gen-3 Switches prevent double-clicks and debounce delays and feature 90 million click durability. And thanks to HyperSpeed Wireless, Razer’s exclusive wireless technology, the latest model is up to 25% faster than traditional wireless mice. Combined with the Razer HyperPolling wireless dongle, you get a 0.25ms polling interval, allowing for 4x more polling than before.
price
Here we come to the price, which is ugly but the most important factor for most people: the Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro is available for €159.99. The Razer HyperPolling Wireless Dongle is available for €34.99. Or you can get both together for €177.50 (saving you €17.50).
It’s definitely expensive for a gaming mouse, but it’s an industry-leading product, so it’s understandable.
Conclusion
If you want to avoid cable tangles and outperform your opponents thanks to lower and faster wireless technology, the new Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro is for you.
The Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro combined with the Razer HyperPolling wireless dongle allows you to click faster than your own shadow, killing enemies before they even react.
