Razer Deathadder V3 Pro Long Term Review! STILL My #1 Mouse

[@d3liriumtrigger88]

your discord community pushed me toward the DAV3 and I have to say I can not be any happier, I normally subconsciously leaned toward smaller mice, but once I got the DAV3 in my hand it felt like an extension of my own arm.

[@yxoce7919]

!!!If your thinking about getting this mouse all i can say is.. DO IT!!! (For reference my hand size: 19cm from middle finger to wrist, 10cm from thumb to edge of hand) you will not regret it! Brought this 4 days ago, Got it Yesterday and honestly this mouse is by far the best in terms of comfortability, The weight of 64g is light in hand. The coating for me is the best ive felt in a mouse thus far, I had issues with the mouse being slippery but not this one! The clicks are amazing, the side buttons are perfectly sized the position of them are the best I've used. The scroll wheel is a lot smoother then the viper. I switched to KBM 4 months ago and I play palm started with a G703 and that was great but the clicks are a bit iffy, I then went to the GPX super and the side buttons became mushy and unresponsive, I then tried the Razer Viper ultimate but couldn't get a comfortable grip with it and sent it back then I heard about this and wow I'm beyond happy! Razer win the mouse market in the clicks & switches now the Death Adder V3 is a great for everything!

I love my DAV3 mouse. I can’t choose between it and the viper v2 pro, tho. I just end up switching between them whenever I perform badly with one during that period of time. Both great purchases, though neither shape seem to be easy to find a good grip for me personally. I just put the grip tape on and use my fingertips to hold the mouse for the most part, despite using claw. It’s weird trying to use these mice. Love them anyways.

[@bluetoadtoadftw1013]

depending on your hand size, you should try the x2/x2 mini. I love my x2 and i use a relaxed claw. it forces my fingers into a somewhat uncomfortable position but it makes me feel like a deadeye with the mouse

[@oluna8369]

Which one are you more comfortable with? Hand grip wise

[@WontonDisciple]

@@oluna8369 it’s easier for me to feel more comfortable with the v2 pro, but I usually track better with the DAV3. It’s quite strange. I don’t think either shape is very safe imo, I’d probably be more inclined to get people over to lamzu or pulsar

[@jarekkozin5512]

Finally, the mouse that replaced the ec2 for me (my hand 18.5x10.5cm). I bought a white and a black one. I returned the white one in my hand, it seems bigger (surface treatment, most likely). in any case, white is for a humid environment or sweaty hands, black on the contrary. The white is really beautiful polar white, not a yellowish white like many others, but unfortunately the grip and the overall feeling was definitely the black version for me

[@justinkemp433]

I have the death adder v3 and after tons of play time with it I can honestly say it is my main as well. I have the Pulsar X2, GPX, Lamzu Atlantis, Viper V2, and plenty of others and nothing matches the V3 for me. Have a hyper polling dongle on the way too!

Which of the two do you think is better built and what size is your hand? I'm thinking of changing the gpx to a dav3?

[@NippleSauce]

@@carloscoldebella9450 I do not know off of the top of my head. But I also used the GPX before getting the VP2. And in the end, I went back to my GPX and G502 - as those two mice stayed my favorites even after using the Razer products for a few months. And earlier this week, I finally got my M2K in the mail and have been trying to get used to that mouse for the past few days in order to see how it compares to the G502X (which is what I was using primarily prior to the M2K arriving). Thus far, it's definitely an odd mouse adjustment considering I'm going from 103g of weight with the G502X to 24g of weight with the M2K LOL. It feels crazy to use! Sorry for digressing, but in the end, I began to hate all of the Razer mice. The software and lack of hand comfort (due to their shape and height design) has pushed me away from all Razer mice. My hand never gets sore or feels tense with a Logitech mouse, however, it does with the Razer mice (and even does after enough time passes with the M2K due to its super small size). But, of course, that's why I am trying to get used to the M2K. Because if I can adjust to it's ultra lightweight design, perhaps I can hold it differently so that it doesn't irritate my hand as time passes.

[@moraisgkm]

Is this good for a relaxed claw grip where the ring and pinky finger stay more vertical towards the back of the mouse? My hands are medium to large with 19,50x10cm. Note that my last ergo mice was the original steelseries rival. Since then I’ve been using symmetrical mouse’s since and the only one that made me feel almost 100% comfortable using was the original FK1 from Zowie. I been using the GPX for the past 2 years and I haven’t felt comfortable using it during that period, I was always trying to find a comfortable way to grip it and always readjusting. I’ve been trying the xm2we and the g303 shroud edition for the past week and none of them made feel comfortable also. Does anyone think the v3 pro would be a good choice? Thank you.

[@DannysMyNanny]

I've been using the death adder since 2013. I've tried other mice before but none of them feel as comfortable as the death adder shape. Not saying other mice are bad, but I CANNOT for the life of me get used to other mice. No reason to switch I guess

Overall I'm pretty happy, and as much as the price is kinda high, the quality is very good. Especially since almost every wireless mouse coming out at this point costs 150$+.

[@vict1318]

Hands: 19 by 11 cm Tbh the mouse is good no complains really. Is it "the best" Ergo mouse...no. Roccat Kone Pro wired (wireless version is a little bit too heavy) is far superior in every way to the DA V3. It has better coating, is lighter (albeit wired) and is way more comfortable and you aim better with it after extensive testing (not by much but still). Roccat Kone Pro is the best ergo mouse i've ever tested (and one of the best mice ever made imo in terms of ergo shape) and i have over 200 gaming mice here at home. Also the battery is a bit of let down. Shapewise even Ec2 is alot more comfy (but heavy unfortunately). Is it top 3 Ergo mice, definately Another big let down is the infamous shitty Synapse which won't save the profle you've made for DA V3. Which again is synonymous for Razer throughout the years: Great mice shapewise but quality issues in one way or the other whether we are talking defective mice or software. Always something. Very frustrating

Maybe I am cursed or something but all my razer mice with optical switches they slowly develop scratchy/creaky feeling clicks. The RVU, Viper V2 and now the DAV3. With my deathadder Ive gone through 3 copies (2 black, 1 white) now and each one the right click goes to complete shit in about 2 weeks of usage, the left clicks have been fine. Also, my most recent copy which is the one I've owned for the longest now also creaks on both sides but it isnt extreme. I want to like the mouse but these issues make seem cheap or poorly made, these issues didnt really hinder my in game performance at all but the right click issue is enough to make me feel like im using something that is broken. With the RVU and Viper V2 it was the same issues but with both clicks.

[@boardzy]

I had that problem with the viper ultimate but none of the mice with the newest version of the opticals, so far at least

[@Wolf_Spark]

Had this happen on my Viper mini after 3 months of use, and is not the switches, it's the plastic shell. These main buttons have underneath them some pegs that are aligned in some plastic rail (those pegs are suppose to minimize button wobble). If the pegs are not well made, they can scratch the side walls of the rail. The only way to fix that, is to open the mouse and lubricate those pegs with some silicone lube (or anything that doesn't affect plastic) so it doesn't grind on those rails.

[@yfataliityfps3905]

I'm having the same problem with my DA V3 Pro unit. The left click is fine but the right one started to creak after a month of daily use, unfortunately. I think something is wrong about the plastic shell that they made for this mouse

[@hitbox89]

I took the advice of heseths comment and lubed the inside posts on the mouse button and it seems to have fixed the problem completely. I took apart the mouse and had some krytox on hand and applied that to 2 different posts on the right mouse button. There is the main one that makes direct contact to the mouse switch which I put some krytox on the sides of the rail that holds it in place then there is a much smaller post further behind on the mouse button that I also put krytox on. For good measure I also put did the same for the left mouse button even though I have had no issues with it so far. Also, sides of my mouse creak and flex so I put some double sided tape along the inside edge of the bottom plate which also completely fixed the creaking and reduced the flex. I had to cut small pieces of tape so they could fit along the edge without hanging out which can be annoying with bad scissors but other then that these were easy fixes.

I've been maining the v3 since it released. I think there are several areas for improvement. The clicks are stiffer than I'd prefer, a lighter click is desirable for tactical shooters. The gold standard for clicks is Vaxee's Huano switch implementation. The coating is also just average. Once again, Vaxee leads the way with their amazing matte coating. Also, I prefer mice with rounded edges instead of razer's aggressive, pointy corners. As far as positives, the shape is quite good, overall. The ergonomics are subtle enough to not interfere with your aim. The click latency and sensor accuracy are the best on the market. Stock skates are comparable to any after-market replacement. All things considered, the pros outweigh the cons. This is the best wireless ergo option as of 2022

[@farvezafridifaizurrahman6980]

As of 2023 as well. Even in a world of wireless Zowie and Vaxees coming up, DAV3 seems to be the only large ergo option on the planet right now.

[@MarksterC]

18x9 hands, caved in and bought this mouse. It fits like a glove, don't let someone say you have too small hands if you think it'll fit you.

[@Lumidon]

I like wide mice with 9cm wide hands. Any other wide mice you’ve disliked?

[@MarksterC]

@@LumidonHaven’t really found anything wide enough to bother me. I own a Haste and Orochi beyond this. Haste is wider but flat asf. I will say dav3 will potentially feel bulky if you want a good ampunt of your hand on your mousepad for whayever reason

[@popops3]

what you guys say, black or white ? dont care about the extra gram

[@Hiiiro]

I just got mine yesterday and was on a G304/5 before it. I expected it to fill out my palm way more, but it doesn't (except when I claw it) cos of the how it slopes back down toward the wrist. It doesn't fill out the mid/back of my palm like the eggshell shape of the G304/5 does. All in all though the DAV3 is so much lighter and aiming feels easier on it by a lot. I fingertip it for the most part and pull it in to claw when I want that stability. I'm happy with it, but it'll take a little getting used to the feel.

[@Poppaai]

Still waiting for the dav3 mini

[@SM-qp4qw]

Does this thing feel the same as the Razer DeathAdder V2 X HyperSpeed? Do not buy the mouse I just mentioned it's been a big disappointment.

[@boardzy]

No not the same shape, watch my original vid on the dav3 for a shape comparison

[@HelloWorld-fg2nm]

I've been making it since release. I have small hands but I prefer mid hump large ergos because I don't like having my wrist touch the pad. I don't know how people game with that kind of friction. But yeah, love it. Feet have definitely slowed down a bit. One thing that bothers me is the sensor angle. I don't know why but it's taking me a while to get a consistent x y feel for this one.

[@themilkman369]

A love the fact that the DAV3’s middle mouse button can be clicked with your index finger if you push the scroll wheel to the right instead of only pressing it from the top of the scroll wheel. It makes it easier for people like me to push the mouse wheel button when your fingers are placed toward the front end of the mouse 1 and 2 clicks

[@jjc3272]

A ton of mice function like this.

[@gabsforsberg]

holy hell I just tried this out because I read your comment and it blown my mind

[@ashannihilator8315]

This is gonna sound weird but i currently use a glorious model o, and i get hand cramps sometimes with it. Could be unrelated to it. But do you think going with the DAV3 with help with those hand cramps?

[@discoRyne]

Please take time out to actively stretch your wrist and confirm your desk ergonomics / posture. Mouse-wise, you need to follow a tutorial to measure your hand and match it to a shape based off of that for the best match. You can't just assume an ergo case will fix hand cramps by default. But yeah, the DAV3 would probably help with hand cramps, lol.

[@Mouthbreather777]

Well find out why you have cramps first. Do you grip too tightly? Should you start stretching before playing? Are you getting enough electrolytes/hydration? Potassium, sodium, etc? Lastly if you think you're being forced to use a grip style you don't like because of it then you just have to try a bunch of mice to see what you like. Try to figure out if you have any physical or diet deficiencies to take care of before you buy a 100+ dollar mouse

[@justinhunter4991]

In my personal experience, using the model o most of my hand would rest on the table and get very uncomfortable over time. With ergo mice i find that the shape supports my hand more (especially the hump near the back). I think you should definitely try the DAv3 out or even the Model D/D Wireless which is cheaper to see if it helps with your cramps, my guess is it probably will.

[@noshut]

What’s going on with the white spot on your thumb nail lol

[@Pain4Good]

I personally use the Model D and I wish I could afford a super light 50 and below gram mouse when the Model O/D costs 100 $ in my country.

[@HiCZoK]

I am on viper ultimate one and thinking about getting something new and white to match white huntsman mini keyboard(love it). I am a rather unique old style fingertip 1-3-1 gripper. Viper ultimate is excellent but my pinky kinda digs into the mouse on the right side. This is not at all suitable for 1-3-1 probably? Interested about glass pad too. I use just cloth razer pad but it's a pain to clean. What I look for in the pad is smoothness and silence. I don't want to hear or feel it. What pad do you use ? edit: btw scroll on viper ultimate sucks ass. Dock also. usb c would be great...

[@tom_mazing4914]

[@jamesm5192]

What's wrong with Razer that they won't list on their website which USB version it is? Seriously... These people suck "tech specs" "hardcore" "its USB" ("yeah, which version! which port do we use?")

[@CliffForster]

I hate the V3. I got it, used it, returned it. My main has been a wired Deathadder V2 for the last two years. The V3 is light to a fault, it's hollow feeling, and the coating is unuseable, and I refuse to put tape all over something that should have just been coated properly to begin wth. I don't understand how there is not a single negative review on this mouse? I'm waiting on the Zowie wireless to become available for purchase now. My advice, if you love the old Deathadder, don't assume you are going to love the V3, make sure you buy it from somewhere with a great return policy. To me... It's a huge step backwards for Razer, following a trend. It's weighted far too low, and it's loaded with features that don't matter in order to raise the price for those with massive gamer FOMO.

[@KingJagguYT]

I'm waiting for mini version though....this ergo mouse is so cool.... I cant use another after using this mouse.... This is so coool...

Had to send mine back after 5 months. Same issues with razers, scroll wheel jumps. I hate that. back to GPX or maybe i'll get a zowie ec2 cw

[@ehern87]

Love this mouse but my only complaint was the lack of rubber grips which I loved on the Viper Ultimate. IMO it's too slippery and hard to control without squeezing without the tape. I ended up returning the first one because while the tape is removable, it is very easy to stretch and distort the shape when you take it off and it didn't look good or fit quite right after I tried to reposition it. I was much more meticulous on the first application with the 2nd mouse. I assume at some point Razer will start selling standalone tape for this mouse like it does for other models. Does kinda suck because I feel like the buttons were slightly better on the first one I got. Definitely some manufacturing variance and QC tolerance

Ok so i have small hands, im 5’6 125 so my hands not really big. Nd i play palm grip/claw depending on the game. Based off that should i get the viper pro 2 or the death adder. I really cant decide what would be best. Rn i have the the razer mamba elite so i want which ever one is closest in size to that

[@texdoc89]

Yeah I'm ditching my Model D wireless for this, I had nothing but QC issues with that mouse on both copies the side buttons and dpi buttons just stopped working after not even a week of having both mice. I have melarge hands at 19x9 and the GPX just looks too small for my relaxed claw/palm and I've always been more of a ergo mouse person as it feels better in my hand, can't wait to see how this is. My first couple mice were always Razer for the build quality, I just hated synapse

Boardzy not to sound gay but i love your voice man. I bought a deathaddler v3 pro using it with a blue qin mouse pad. Love it for work My only issue is the front right of frame flexes a pinch when squeezed but is otherwise perfect. Would buy a second if sold for $100 or two more is sold for $80.
