The God Tier Combination of ZOWIE XL2566K & DeathAdder V3

BenQ ZOWIE XL2566K and Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro are top notch for competitive gaming. Each the best in their own category at the moment. Here are my reviews for both and we are also discussing using a high polling rate mouse & display.

Great Review Haus. Really cool to see that you get the same click latency going from 8k to 4k on this mouse. That's great to know.

[@hausgaming]

Thanks brother! Yeah that's the way RAZER high polling wired mice are implemented. Their wireless lineup then again do not have separate handling for click events!

[@paulmartinez34]

How will the dav3 wired 8khz compare to rvm se 8khz? In terms of click latency and motion latency

Hello buddy I really like your videos thanks! I have a question for you/ I have a zywoo kind of grip, Can u suggest me a mouse that is < 40g (the lower the better) that might fit my needs? Thanks

[@lonelyjaco]

Amazing video Haus!!

[@hausgaming]

Thank you brother!

[@gingi_swagg9304]

Would love to see a video on the Pulsefire Haste 2 wireless! Mainly wondering if it performs better than the Vaxee, Superlight, etc. due to it being much cheaper. I’ve also heard great things about the stock feet

[@gingi_swagg9304]

@@Divinity_vA thank you for the super detailed reply! By better, I mean in regards to click latency and motion latency, where does it stack up against the competition. For example, the Vaxee is -0.2ms faster in motion latency than the control but has a click latency slower than the Superlight etc, whereas the Superlight has 0.5ms slower than control, so with the lower click latency and only slightly slower motion latency you could in theory say it performs better overall than the XE. I 100% understand that Haus has stated at this level you won’t really notice a difference, but I was just curious where the Pulsefire stacked up against them.

[@Ribyum]

Pulsefire haste 2's scrollwheel failed me after not even 1 year of use :(

[@VoltaReviews]

Awesome video dude 🔥 I’m due a monitor upgrade soon. Not sure if I should get this or 240hz 1440p. My boomer vision needs clarity 😅

[@hausgaming]

Thanks bro! I can recommend the XG27AQM with ease! In Europe you can get the XL2566k for cheaper, and I think it's the #1 choice if your first priority is gaming. All about priorities I'd say!

[@VoltaReviews]

@@hausgaming Awesome, appreciate the reply and recommendations Haus!

[@PahEz]

Also it's not the + 90hz that makes a difference. It's cause the zowie has faster response times, less overshoot and the backlight strobing feature which basically gives you around 960hz of motion clarity if you use the Dyac+ on premium ( at 360hz ) there will be a bit of strobe crosstalk, but I would absolutely use it. The centre of the screen will look basically " as good " as an old premium CRT in terms of motion clarity.

[@hausgaming]

Refreshrate can affect those response times and overshoot, the panel type matters here as well. Even without DyAc+ the monitor has very good motion clarity.

[@PahEz]

@@hausgaming Correct. Also reading back my original comment it looks like I made a few typos. I meant " It's not just the 90hz what makes the difference " cause the 90hz jump itself isn't much at all and 99% of the people wouldn't notice any difference if we are only talking about that 90hz jump. Even the jump from 240hz to 360hz is very hard to notice for most people. Usually you should go from 120hz to 240hz, 144hz to 360hz, 240hz to 480hz, 480hz to 960hz etc in order to see an actual difference. Basically always double your current hz, otherwise there isn't that much of a point to upgrade, unless ofc you just " want the best " but yeah the panel type matters a lot that's true. Also while the zowie xl2566k looks very good even without the dyac+, there is still an insane difference with the dyac+ on premium at 360hz. With the dyac+ on premium at 360hz it currently has the best motion clarity out of all gaming monitors on the market as far as I know. Without it, it's very impressive, but in my opinion the OLED 240hz still looks slightly better. Obviously if the oled had good bfi feature it would look just as good if not better than the dyac+ on premium at 360hz.

[@mytommy]

is the DYAC beneficial in games like Rainbow Six Siege where you're mostly holding angles or peeking enemies and the shooting isn't fast like Overwaatch?

[@cueball981]

I bought a Death Adder v2 X Hyperspeed as my travel mouse and a Death Adder v3 (wired) as my permanent home mouse for less than what a Death Adder v3 Pro costs. I'm happy that I went this route versus going for the v3 Pro.

Price aside, can we compare the pros and cons between the DAV3 and EC2-CW? I have 18cm hands and I heard rumors that DAV3 is pretty big.

[@Katze822228]

The wired version with a paracord cable is the best combination imo. You get the lower price, weight and latency, the better coating and build quality and don't have to worry about battery life. The stock cable kinda sucks, its way too heavy which is especially noticeable with such a light mouse. I've been using a paracorded dav3 for a bit more than a month now and had no issues with it. It still reaches 8khz with the paracord cable in the razer pollingrate tool and in Diabotical 8khz works great without any performance impact.

+1 wires these days are non existent. if you could play well with the old rubber cables then a braided cable on top tier mice is really all you need. consistency is king.

[@PahEz]

Wired is obviously better. Not only it's faster but it's also WAY more stable overall compares to wireless garbage. I would never use a wireless over wired. On top of that we get wired for so much cheaper and you don't gotta worry about the battery. I have no clue why do people even buy wireless for competitive gaming, no wonder they suck.

[@PahEz]

@@Divinity_vA It is not. Everything I said so far is a fact which can be checked with multiple test results. Also I am shocked how many people are so ignorant. It is common sense that wired will always be more stable compared to wireless like it or not. I wouldn't even pay 40$ for the best wireless, but I would be ready to pay 100$ for a premium wired. Yall just blinded by the fact that " pro csgo players " use wireless when in reality it's a terrible choice. Basically the same as comparing fiber optic to a wifi. We both know which one is more stable yet you somehow want to deny the facts, hilarious. Again, no wonder yall suck.
