Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro Review - A great Superlight alternative?

Here's my review of the Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro, a gaming mouse which has changed a bit since it's last iteration. It's now lighter, has less angry angles and has improved specs to make it even better for gaming.

Getting mine on monday and i can't wait! Thanks for the review :)

[@danmar007]

I love your detailed reviews. It seems like most people don't care, but I enjoy listening to people who speak well even when talking about tech. 🙂

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Thanks Dan

[@officialdln]

i just ordered this, arriving tomorrow, so excited!

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Hope you enjoy it!

Got this mouse a week ago to replace the Model D (which both the original and RMA copy both stopped working in 3 days) and damn is this is perfect mouse IMO. The shape is perfect for my slightly above average size hands, the texture feels much better than the Model D which just felt cheap to me and you could tell that's one of the reasons they could charge $80 for it. I also haven't had to charge it yet in the week of heavy heavy use and it just dropped below 50%, the switches are just so satisfying to press also. Def going to be my main mouse for a long time and would highly recommend to anyone who is a more serious gamer who isn't turned off by the price as that was my only con for it but worth the money IMO.

[@slimshidy185]

I'm a dota player who started from Logitech G604, changed to G603. G502, MX Master 3, Razer Viper Ultimate, Logitech G Pro Wilress Superlight, Razer V2 Pro and finally Deathadder V3 Pro. Of all these, the one I have used the longest is the G502 because the shape is very comfortable in my hand. Yes, the G502 has a double click issue, but it can be solved by replacing the switch at a cost of 5 dollars. I still use the G502 today as a travel mouse. I still use the MX Master 3 as a work mouse. The Razer Viper ultimate lasted for 4 months with 3 replacements due to QC issues and defects until I finally sold it to my friend. Two thumbs up for Razer for the guarantee of unlimited new replacement throughout the warranty period, one thumbs down for the QC of Viper Ultimate. In terms of feel, weight, shape, and super convenient dock charging station, the Razer Viper Ultiamte provides a new sensation for me who started from heavy mice. If there were no issues with QC, maybe until now I would still be using the Razer Viper Ultimate. From RVU I briefly switched to the Logitech G Pro superlight which I thought was good, but too and the market was plain in terms of shape and size. I prefer the shape of the Viper Ultimate which gives a fiercer impression when used. Not long after that I bought a used Razer Viper V2 Pro and I found that for the same shape as the Viper ultimate, the RVV2Pro gave the impression of being too hollow and too light to use. The RVV2Pro lasted less than 2 weeks before I finally decided to buy the Razer Deathadder V3 Pro. And damn, this is the best gaming mouse I've ever used so far. Maybe it would be replaced if Logitech released the G502 Superlight with a maximum weight of 75 grams, but once again the feel, shape and form of the DAV3Pro really, really made an extraordinary impression on me who had it. playing PC games for more than decades with various mice that I have used. And the good news is that so far there have not been any issues related to QC or defects on the unit I use (Finger Crossed). Even if there is, I am still confident that Razer Indonesia is still committed to providing an unlimited 2 year warranty for replacement new units. The DAV3Pro is expensive, it doesn't have a charging station, it doesn't have many side buttons, but the shape and feel of this mouse can't be found in many other gaming mice out there. This is the first time I am writing a review of this length because I think this mouse deserves praise. Well done Razer, keep up making good products and satisfying us as gamers. But maybe next time would you please lower the price? Cheers!

[@andreyk9660]

Thank you, your comment really helped me to choose Deathadder

[@harrisonmccartney4878]

The rubber grips are amazing and I'm glad they made them optional even though I personally favor them. Yes, there is a natural drawback to having to apply them yourself, but honestly with a bit of patience you can get them right where you want them, and the adhesive is strong enough to endure a few slip ups if you apply them wrong. But it really adds some comfort to the sides of the mouse where my large palm grip hands would have an issue with the pinky hanging off the edge and dragging along the mousepad. Now I kind of subconsciously keep them on the rubber grip and it feels fine.

[@tractor6619]

:) nice review, tribble applying the grip tapes, you are even messier than me lol

[@macleod1592]

I got the Superlight 2 with some Christmas money and absolutely love it! Then I got this a few weeks ago and it's all I've used. This thing is almost perfect.....aside from having to buy a separate dongle for higher polling

[@ruinfox4108]

not gonna lie the grip tape made a huge difference for me, not kidding it was like my accuracy doubled, without the grip tape its not bad obviously but it does slide just a little in my hand,

[@johnwad4672]

I have this mouse It doesn’t require a heavy press Clicks are very light and responsive

[@3choblast3r4]

I bought it but I'm pretty sure I will return it when I get it. I just wondered if the shape could compete with my g502's and if I would enjoy a light weight mouse. Also it seems to be the best sensor on the market so I figured that would be cool to have / try. But the price is insanely high for a very, very minimal mouse. Esp considering I need 3 mappable buttons next to left/right click and the scroll wheel. And this one only has two. So I might end up returning it for the basilisk v3 pro. I don't care about the weight too much, although I guess this will be my first super lightweight mouse, so who knows maybe I'll like it.

[@metalvideos1961]

i just got mine in the mail. i just have the feeling that the mouse is a tad to small for my hands. the older deathadders felt perfectly. i compared it to my V2 pro and that mouse feels fantastic in my hand.

[@akerbay7]

Rubber grips are needed for me, I work in salt water so my hands get pretty slippery once I'm done with work so the grip tape has definitely helped

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Oh interesting. Thanks for sharing. You've also made your job sound mysterious and intriguing.

[@akerbay7]

@@TheProvokedPrawn I'm just on the aquaculture industry, not too interesting haha

[@GamesSPIL]

GOAT mouse

[@VicTheAwper]

How would you say it compares to the G Pro X Superlight in terms of how much force to click? Asking because I have a disability that makes me very weak, so stuff like that matters a lot to me. I got the G Pro X Superlight right now, but I've had so many issues with this model (double click, coating etc.) I already ordered the DA V3, but I can still cancel it depending on your answer.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Very similar imo. I'm publishing a video tomorrow with a comparison that also shows the clicks. If that helps.

[@VicTheAwper]

@@TheProvokedPrawn Sounds good, then I will definitely check it out tomorrow

[@DaBomb5309]

Honestly it would be perfect if it has the extra buttons like the v2 x

[@Ihateniga]

i might stick with the v2x

[@3choblast3r4]

Yeah I wish it had at least one more button. I don't get why they are offering these "pro" mice with only two buttons since most games really benefit from at least 3 or 4. I mean would it be so hard to have the sniper button that the g502 x / baslisk v3 pro has? A nice third button on the left side would be perfect. I don't need 50 buttons but damn, two is so limiting. I play a lot of warzone and have armoring up, mount and melee on my side buttons. There is no real convenient place left on the keyboard for them

[@reve2437]

Can you do review of v3 pro wired and faker edition

[@ayyjayy5018]

this mouse is essentially endgame

[@thomascorry5394]

I’m struggling to turn it on

[@yeungfelix01]

The spec is almost the same as the superlight. If I dont own a superlight, I will buy this for the usbc connector

[@Divinity_vA]

The specs are arguably better compared to Logitech. Razer is really putting the work when it comes to specs but as an owner of 6-7 Razer mice, i am very disappointed of their lack in the build quality department. USB-C, not sure if that is a deal-breaker since i have to charge the Superlight once per 2 weeks or more.

[@brodudemanbro]

What game were you playing here?

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

[@jerryd3095]

is it similar to the glorious model D?

[@TheHijackx]

Yeah very

[@TerrifyiN_]

I’d argue that the superlight is the alternative to Dav3 pro. Dav3 is 👑

[@katebush8415]

What stands out to me with reviews like these vs someone like optimum tech is, you talk a lot, I can read. Show me the click loudness, how it fits your hand in different grips and then talk about it.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Thanks for the feedback

[@TangoMikeOscar]

So they've removed 5 features of my v2 pro that I actually like and the reason I bought it in the first place: Dock compatibility Extra buttons Bluetooth mode The flared body, i found it very comfortable with my palm grip. RGB logo Then they go and charge more money for less features? So this is a big no for me, massive disappointment.

[@Chiefhao]

First! Another great review

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Thank you ❤️

[@kevinscottyuk]

I have Death Stalker keyboard. Would never buy from this company ever again. Software is shocking. most times when I turn on i have to unpug usb then plug back in. then works fine, piss take.

[@Ludo_vid]

Software defines product quality? Ok, get back to Logitech

[@marcel1463]

If you already own a g pro superlight you don't need this mouse.

[@peterb3505]

4K Hz Better Clicks Better Sensor (Motion Sync) From a technical standpoint Razer is better atm. Logitech is sleeping on the SL. Big Mistake just releasing a Red Superlight with no Updates after 2 Years.

[@PvtRinzler]

@@peterb3505 don’t forget one of the most important things. Lift off distance. I will never buy Logitech mouse again until they add it in drivers.

[@rahdidntask9683]

@@PvtRinzler trust me logtiech is better especially in shapes

[@TheKillerZmile]

nahh i have superlight i bought this because i like ergo and its light with optical sensor and better sensor

@@rahdidntask9683 u mean the potato shape? even tenz dont like that shape superlight
