Razer DeathAdder V3 Hyperspeed review: Super light, zero bling - Techgoondu

Costing S$159, the tournament-grade DeathAdder V3 Hyperspeed isn't cheap but the wireless mouse wins on portability and precision.

Razer DeathAdder Essential Mouse Review

Razer has long been known for its premium, feature packed mice, with very few alternatives for the b It's a new, cheaper DeathAdder mouse – is it competitive at the £50 price point?

Comfortable design.

Still expensive for a budget option.

Razer DeathAdder V3 HyperSpeed Review

More affordable than its V3 Pro predecessor ; Comfortable ergonomic design ; Lightweight

Highest polling rate requires an accessory sold separately ; Available in only one color ; High, but not the highest, DPI maximum

The Razer DeathAdder V3 HyperSpeed improves on the excellent design of the V3 Pro, making it the sub-$100 wireless gaming mouse to beat.

Gaming mice: we test the best

It was brutal work, but we put six very special mice through their gaming paces. Find the best-looking, best-sniping, most programmable ones here.

Form-fitting comfort ; Competitive responsiveness

Cloud-centric control interface ; Resolution and other features are falling behind the competition

Razer DeathAdder V3 Hyperspeed review: Buckle up, it’s fast!

A high hump positions your trigger finger, ready to fire ; Very precise sensor that supports the Dynamic Sensitivity feature ; Buttons are very quick ; Very good build quality

There’s no RGB lighting ; Bluetooth connectivity is not supported ; The DPI switcher doubles as the power on/off button

The Razer DeathAdder V3 Hyperspeed gaming mouse is comfortable, maneuverable, and quick off the mark.

The Best Gaming Mouse

After more than 30 hours of research followed by 100+ hours of testing ten gaming mice, there's no question about the one I'd buy: the $60 Razer DeathAdder 2013. It's affordable for a gaming mouse, comes with Razer's straightforward and customizable...

The DeathAdder 2013 is now my primary gaming mouse, even though I spent the past few years accustomed to a more relaxed palm grip. The placement and feel of its side buttons is the best of any mouse I’ve used, and Razer’s drivers, despite some...

Razer DeathAdder 2013 Review

Smart, uncluttered design ; Synapse software is both robust and simple ; Precise and adjustable performance

Contours feel slightly off ; Profiles remain in use after closing linked programs

The DeathAdder sells itself as a simple, comfortable, efficient peripheral, and delivers on all counts.

Professional Gaming Mice: Razer DeathAdder vs. Microsoft Habu

I guess no one will argue my point if I say there are only three serious contenders on the market of high-quality gaming PC mice. And today we are going to introduce to you the latest products from two of them: Razer and Microsoft. Find out which one...

Telling you the truth, my first thought upon receiving the Habu (which was after I had used the DeathAdder for some time) and examining its design, specs and accessories was that Razer had outwitted itself and their best product was now selling under...
