Why I like the Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro
The Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro has everything you need to perform at your best in quick, competitive matches, including a comfortable ultra-lightweight 2.22-ounce (63 grams) design that’s perfectly chiseled to the contours of your hand, a flawless 30,000 DPI optical sensor, and very quick Razer Gen 3 Optical Switches in the buttons, which incidentally are some of the quickest I’ve used.
Better still, the V3 Pro incorporates a few sweetener technologies that can provide big performance boosts if you’re willing to take the time to apply them. Two of these are, Asymmetric Cut-off distance, and hyper polling. The former lets you set a very precise landing distance up to 26 granular levels of adjustment — that’s 23 levels more than what you get in some pro-grade gaming mice. The latter, ramps up the V3’s default 1,000Hz polling rate to a lightning-quick 4,000Hz, although you will need to shell out an extra $29.99 for a HyperPolling dongle for the privilege.
And therein lies the biggest drawback with the V3 Pro — its cost. It’s currently wearing a $150 USD price tag which makes it quite an investment. Still, if you’re looking for the very best performance you can get, it’s totally worth it.
Who should buy the Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro
When I’m talking the absolute best of the best esports mice that money can buy, there’s only a few mice that come to mind, and the Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro is one of them. Yes, it’s expensive but if you’re a pro gamer or just seriously into your competitive FPS games, you won’t regret buying this mouse.
Buying a pro grade mouse is like buying a Ferrari, you really want one that looks and feels perfect for you specifically. So, be sure to read up on these other excellent options that come highly recommended by us: the Logitech G Pro X 2 Superlight, Logitech G Pro X Superlight, and Asus ROG Harpe Ace Aim Lab Edition.
A more affordable option than these giants of esports is the Razer DeathAdder V3 Hyperspeed. This esports mouse is extremely well-honed for the fastest competitive play, but it costs just $100. It’s also a better option for many claw grippers because of its slightly shorter length.
