About this deal
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 disassembles into an exploded view, revealing its internals to highlight the cutting-edge sensor. Razer produces mice under a few series', the Viper, Basilisk and Naga models tend to carry the higher price tags, while Deathadder, Orochi, and Mamba lines come in cheaper. Thankfully, we've had our hands on a massive range of these devices, putting each one through its paces over the course of weeks to determine its value for money and overall performance. That's why we're rounding up all the best Razer mouse models across all lines right here. With its incredible weight optimization, the Razer DeathAdder V3 is one of the lightest ergonomic esports mice ever created—all while improving upon its user experience. The money is put to good use though. The technology cuts the polling interval to just 0.25 millisecond, and when combined with Razer's HyperSpeed wireless connection aims to cut latency or response lag—a universal issue that affects gamers at all levels, even casual players. The process for hunting down the best Razer mouse is the same as it is for any brand. These pointers are brought into our daily work and play schedules, and lived with far beyond our initial testing sessions. That means we can see exactly how each device holds up in an everyday use scenario while also keeping tabs on the longevity of those features.The best Razer sensor is the Focus+ Optical sensor, featured on the Razer Basilisk V3, Razer Viper 8KHz, Razer Viper Ultimate, Razer Basilisk Ultimate, Razer DeathAdder V2, Razer Basilisk V2, Razer Naga Pro, Razer Naga Left-Handed, and Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro. Which Razer gaming mice are available? You've got a choice between a two-button, six-button, and 12-button side setup, opening you up to a maximum of 20 programmable buttons. Not only that, but there's two layers of programming here, allowing for a second round of commands to be assigned to each button on top. That's some fantastic customization that even stretches into the scroll wheel as well. This is the Razer HyperScroll Pro under the hood, which means six different presets of scrolling speed and style to choose from. Swapping between a tighter, heavier scroll and a free-wheeling spin, or creating your own style in Synapse 3, there's something for every action available. In our testing, we did find this a more useful feature in productivity uses than everyday play, but it's still a nice to have feature. I thought I’d find the bottom-based DPI switch to be inconvenient. But the truth is, I find most top-based DPI switches to be inconvenient, anyway. And the DeathAdder V3 Pro is so lightweight and easy to hold that the DPI switch didn’t end up being very inconvenient at all. The mouse blitzes through the portal, moving at such speed that it transforms into a green bolt of energy.
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 mouse floats high above the arena, pulling all electrical power from the environment into itself, causing the arena to go dark once again.
