On Amazon (opens in new tab), it’s currently going for half that price, for example. The $70/£70 price tag is technically the same recommended price as the Deathadder Elite. It detracts from the overall solid build. It’s a relatively minor gripe, but I noticed the same thing with the Viper Ultimate Wireless, and I hope Razer can sort it soon. It makes me think they couldn’t take much of a beating, such as if you threw the V2 into a bag before running out the door. They feel fine, even sturdy, when you’re clicking them straight on, but the slightest amount of sideways pressure makes them waggle off-centre. However, carrying on a trend in recent Razer mice, the left and right mouse buttons are a bit flimsy. By comparison, the Elite’s feet are non-PTFE, and don't have as smooth of a feel.īest gaming mouse (opens in new tab): the top rodents for gamingīest gaming keyboard (opens in new tab): your PC's best friend.īest gaming headset (opens in new tab): don't ignore in-game audio The new PTFE mouse feet (which is the same material used to coat non-stick pans) glided over any surface I tried them on, including a leather sofa. It felt accurate, snappy, and smooth, even when I used it on my desk without a mouse mat. What I will say is that the V2’s sensor performed flawlessly. How often do you need to go above 16,000 DPI/CPI? Not often. Those increased numbers may or may not mean much to you, because they’ll make very little difference in day-to-day performance. It goes up to 20,000 DPI/CPI (16,000), tracks up to 650 inches per second (450), and has a resolution accuracy of 99.6 percent (99.4 percent). The matte black coating on the top of the mouse stops your hand from slipping, and when combined with the V2’s shape (like the Elite, it’s pretty much the ideal shape for a right-hander, and fits well in almost any palm size) it makes the V2 a comfortable mouse to use for hours and hours.Īnd then we come to the sensor, Razer’s 'party trick' (the Deathadder Elite’s stats are in parentheses for comparison). Without seams to separate them, dirt buildup is less of a concern, too. They’re still grippy, but it looks much slicker.

On the V2, there’s less separation, and with raised, pimpled portions on the panel instead.

The Deathadder Elite has segmented thumb rests on either side of the mouse, with edges that clearly separate them from the rest of the side panel.
