Razer might be one of the biggest names in gaming mice, but the company isn't one for resting on its laurels. Since launching the original DeathAdder gaming mouse way back in 2006, Razer has iterated on it multiple times, culminating in its latest release of the DeathAdder V2.
Much like the Razer Basilisk V2, the DeathAdder V2 delivers a number of significant improvements over its predecessors. With a more precise sensor, new optical switches and a lighter, faster design, the Razer DeathAdder V2 reasserts itself as the go-to choice for folks wanting a capable yet accessible wired gaming mouse.
With the DeathAdder V2, Razer has once again elevated the DeathAdder name to the top tier of gaming mice. It's lighter and more comfortable than ever, with higher-precision tracking and faster, more responsive switches that make the simple act of clicking significantly more satisfying.
My only hesitation in recommending the DeathAdder V2 stems from the fact that the Basilisk V2 with its wider array of features costs just $20 more. The Basilisk V2 isn't quite so subtle in its design, though, which may give the DeathAdder V2 the edge if you're after a mouse that won't stand out in public spaces or office environments.
