EU Declaration of Conformity for Abyssus Lite & Goliathus Mobile Construct Ed. Bundle (RZ83-0273).pdf We've converted this review to Test Bench 1.5. This update adds a new Main Button test group, which provides button actuation data and switch information. We've also made minor changes to how we calculate the Office usage score. For more details, you can see our full changelog here. It’s possible to make this connection even faster with the HyperPolling wireless dongle, which offers a 4000Hz polling rate. This isn’t something I’ve tested personally, but going by what Razer has said about it, it would take the DeathAdder V3 Pro to another level entirely. All of these changes smooth out the DeathAdder’s signature curves and, arguably, appear a little jarring if you’re moving from the previous models to this new one. Nevertheless, the fact remains that the DeathAdder V3 Pro is supremely comfortable, especially with that re-engineering also bringing with it a large reduction to the overall weight. At just 63g, the DeathAdder doesn’t suffer the kind of lightweight feeling that’s associated with cheaper mice, but one that’s there to give pro players the edge.
The mouse’s sensor is designed to work on a variety of surfaces, including glass. I tested the mouse on everything from mousepads to mirrors to the side of my French Bulldog, and it worked on everything (including transparent glass and plastic), except the mirrors. Discaimer: the DeathAdder V3 Pro is compatible with Razer’s HyperPolling 4KHz dongle (sold separately) for a wireless polling rate of 4000Hz. I haven’t been able to test this, so this compatibility/feature will not be part of the review. Note that using the mouse with a 4KHz polling rate will lower the battery life to ~24 ingame hours. The mouse disassembles into an exploded view, revealing its internals to highlight the cutting-edge sensor. Text appears: Upgradeable to True 4000Hz Wireless Polling Rate, Razer HyperPolling Wireless Dongle sold separately For me personally, this new shape fits me a lot better, though it isn’t perfect. I would have liked the thumb indentation to be a bit deeper. I currently find myself putting a lot of pressure on my thumb in high stress scenarios because it almost naturally wants to get deeper into the shell (I have 18×10.5 cm hands and use a claw-dominant grip these days, for reference) but of course that’s something personal. Overall I would prefer the V3’s shape over the earlier DeathAdders, since I personally lean more towards tilted ergonomic mice these days.
Razer’s “next-generation ergonomics” are some kind of wizardry.
My only minor issue with the V3 Pro is that it only has five programmable buttons. I occasionally get very lazy and don’t want to move my arm from my mouse to my keyboard, so I like my mice to have buttons in the double digits. But even with such a paltry number of buttons, I couldn’t stop my hand from wanting to use this mouse. I would have also liked to see a storage spot for the mouse’s 2.4GHz wireless dongle — especially since there’s no Bluetooth, so any traveling with this mouse will require this dongle for a wireless connection. The mouse floats high above the arena, pulling all electrical power from the environment into itself, causing the arena to go dark once again. We cut to another angle to see Faker staring into the camera, hands clasped—the mouse resting before him, as the demon face looms menacingly behind him. We've added a link to the newly-reviewed Vaxee XE Wireless in the Configuration Software section of this review.
The screen glitches as the mouse now rests atop a high-tech weighing scale in a white futuristic lab. The coating on recent Razer mice has always felt amazing to me, and that hasn’t changed with the V3 Pro. This matte coating is ever so slightly texturized, giving it a grippy feeling under all circumstances. It also handles sweat and finger oils like a champ. Absolutely no complaints on this front: Razer is at the top of the coating me as far as I’m concerned. I see the DeathAdder (and especially this newer one) as a claw and palm grip mouse for people with medium to large hands. With these shape changes you can get by with smaller hands, but due to the size of the mouse it might become unwieldy for making smaller adjustments. Fingertip grippers can glance at this one a little longer as the separated buttons mean that it lends itself to that style of grip a little bit more, but there are a ton of other options out there that I would recommend before trying out the DeathAdder if you’re using a fingertip grip, with Razer’s own Viper line as an example. The only ‘glaring’ issue I could find here was the fact that the side buttons have too much post travel when pressed near their edges, but aside from that this is a stellar release with pretty much no objective downsides. Of course there is the fact that the price is on the high side but I elaborated on my thoughts about that in the ‘First Impressions’ section in case you’re interested in this mouse and only reading the conclusion. We previously incorrectly stated that this mouse works on glass when, in fact, it doesn't. The review has been updated to reflect this change.The camera zooms into his face, transitioning and ending on a shot of him holding the mouse up to the camera. The side buttons are now thinner and placed higher on the shell, so they fall out of that ‘just roll your thumb slightly to reach them’ realm. For me that’s not an issue as I don’t use the ‘roll method’ on my side buttons, but depending on your playing style this might be something to take note of. Both buttons are easy to distinguish in the heat of the action, and moving them higher up makes for more grip options so I’m all for it. Recommended Grip Types You won’t find any RGB lighting with this specific model of DeathAdder, which has been done in the name of offering better battery life – and, truth be told, it isn’t as much of a sore miss as you might expect. The DeathAdder V3 Pro still looks especially clean without it, and let’s face it, your hand will likely be covering the lighting in use anyway. The Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro has received the largest redesign in recent memory. Pull up a picture of a DeathAdder of old, and you’ll notice its iconic flares on the mouse buttons and a slight contour to its shape that made it one of the most comfortable mice to use, for gaming or otherwise.
It’s kind of varied for me, and it’s also quite difficult to answer since I use so many mice over the course of a year it’s hard to kind of ‘settle’ on one as my main (I really like to thoroughly test mice). A grid of red lasers fan across the camera, as the mouse is transported from the lab to a futuristic esports arena. Razer has continuously been improving their Optical Switches, and now that they’re on the third generation I find it pretty difficult to feel a large difference between these and standard mechanical mouse switches like Omrons. The Optical switches aren’t as crispy or tactile as Kailh 8.0 switches (which seem to have become the industry standard in recent months) so for switch purists these might not be it, but they are absolutely fine to use for the vast majority of gamers, myself included.
We open on a dark void, where a ray of light traces across the side silhouette of a mouse, subtly revealing its bold red design.
