Razer DeathAdder V3 Wired Gaming Mouse: 59 g Ultra Lightweight - Focus Pro 30K Optical Sensor - Fast Switches Gen-3-8K Hz HyperPolling - 6 Programmable Buttons - Ergonomic - Speedflex Cable - Black

Very light but feels sturdy. Good to grip. Useful for being wired.

This is quite possibly the best mouse for competitive e-sports tiles such as Counter Strike 2, etc. I mainly use this mouse for Counter Strike 2 where I have a rapid crouch key bound to my mouse button 5 (side button). This is perfect for anyone wanting to play any game and you can add game profiles to the mouse to transfer your settings to each game. There's also an option to save your current mouse settings to the onboard memory and you can safely uninstall the Razer Synapse software afterwards to save memory on your Pc. 10/10 for budget gamers.

My son gaming a lot and the most critical issue for him is mouse scroll wheel encoders which are made of potentiometers are getting dirty, getting graphite tracks worn out and failing, starting to glitch. This could be solved only by using mouse with optical or magnetic scroll wheel encoders. There are not many options on market with such encoders, and this one is cheapest while having a great main sensor and ergonomics. If you're having same issues with scroll wheel encoder dying fast, this is the best option. Both wired and wireless versions of DeathAdder V3 have optical encoder.

Update: Decided to RMA the defective mouse and the replacement does not have the disconnection issue so I've adjusted the score. I wanted to give this mouse a five star rating, because it is amazing when it works, but the disconnection issue has become intolerable to the point where I just dug my old mouse out of my closet. I'm not sure how Razer managed to give a wired mouse worse connectivity than a dollar store wireless one. Basically if you lift the mouse more than an inch off of the mousepad, or turn it over to use the profile button, it disconnects. At first I thought it was the cord, but I can bend or whip it any way I want to and it will stay connected as long as the mouse stays on the pad. Furthermore, updating the firmware and uninstalling the generic Microsoft mouse driver in Device Manager temporarily fixed the issue, which points to some kind of firmware or driver bug. The issue appears to be common with this mouse and nothing I've seen while searching for a fix leads me to believe that starting the RMA process is even worth my time. It makes me sad to type that because everything about this mouse was perfect for me. The shape fit my hand like a glove and is perfect for palm and relaxed claw grip. The buttons felt great. The skates were smooth. The scroll wheel got louder over time but still functioned without issue. The coating has a nice soft feel but never felt slippery. The 3950 sensor in this mouse was noticeably smoother and more precise than the 3370 in my old mouse. Without the connection issues this would have been a five star review.

I wanted to upgrade my aging gaming mice with great sensor and fast refresh rate. This was perfect! No frill and all black. Very comfortable in my large hands. Easy to set up and use right out of the box. The buttons and scroll wheel is surprisingly premium. Amazing Value for what you are paying. Definitely fixed a lot of the delay I was experiencing and ended that "I SWEAR I CLICKED"

The mouse was great, super light, super precise and I was truly happy with it, until I've started playing Helldivers about 15 days ago. Since that game requires the constant use of the zoom/switch mechanic for the weapon, that is triggered by the middle wheel mouse button. The wheel mouse button started failing. Just 15 days of constant use of the mouse wheel button was all that was necessary to make it fail. Now every time I press that button, I can see the button is oscilating between click and unclick, if you do not press the button hard enough, the output will be pure jittery of clicks and unclicks. Now I can not even "open new web windows" with that middle mouse button because sometimes it cancels the action because of that unstable contact. I went to Razer, explaining this and even sent them a video. They requested that I ship the mouse. Since I live in Panama and I cannot ship products for RMA I requested any other means from them. Last time something like this happened with Corsair, they kindly ask me to destroy the device and send proof, after that they sent me the replacement without issues. Razer, replied with all that BS nice words saying they "refuse" to execute an RMA if I can't send the mouse, even if I can't actually send it because sending products over is pretty expensive. So they abide by their policy of not replacing products if they cannot be dispatched and I abide by my policy of telling everything how much they suck. Obviously I will never buy another Razer product ever again as that will mean that I have no way of reclaiming an RMA if it breaks. You are being warned, if you live in a country that does not allow you to dispatch products overseas, it's basically like you don't have ANY guarantee from them. You bought a product and pray that it works for as long as it can. Also, after reading the forums, reddit and searching through youtube.. this faulty middle mouse button is not something new, Razer is having this issue since years now, and it seems they simply don't care to fix it. Obviously the microswitch they've put on the middle mouse button is not optical like the rest. For such a "high quality mouse" this decision is less than stellar.

Bought for my son, he was very happy with it. We saw it on another site but I came to Amazon to check and it was about $20 cheaper on here for the SAME mouse. Great value, easy to use, just plug it in, it is ergonomically great, quality of material is spot on and you can customize on what to do. GREAT!

This mouse is hands down one of the best I've used for competitive gaming. It's super lightweight, but still feels solid and well-built. The tracking is incredibly precise, even on weird surfaces, and the shape fits perfectly in my hand for long sessions. Clicks are crisp, fast, and reliable with zero delay. I also love how smooth the cable is, it doesn’t drag at all. If you’re into FPS games or just want top-tier performance, this is 100% worth it.
