The New DeathAdder V3 Pro: A Comprehensive Review
As a long-time fan of gaming mice, I was excited to try out the latest iteration of Razer's popular DeathAdder line, the DeathAdder V3 Pro. One of the first things that caught my eye was the updated design, which sets it apart from its predecessors in several key ways. The most notable change is the lack of flaring on the front triggers, particularly on the right side. This may seem like a small detail to some, but for me, it's been a game-changer in terms of comfort and ergonomics.
The new design has also led to a more modern look and feel, which I find to be a huge plus. The finger grooves are not as deep as on previous models, and the overall shape feels sleeker and more streamlined. This is especially notable when paired with my hybrid grip style of holding the mouse. The new shape allows for a more comfortable fit in my hand, and I've found myself reaching for this mouse more often than ever before.
In terms of performance, I was pleasantly surprised by how well the DeathAdder V3 Pro performed out of the box. Even at 800 DPI, it felt incredibly responsive and accurate, with no noticeable lag or ghosting. The buttons are also very clicky and satisfying to press, which is a must for any serious gamer.
One area where I did find some minor issues was with the lack of RGB lighting on this model. While I understand that this can be beneficial in terms of battery life, it's a feature that many gamers have come to expect from high-end gaming mice. However, I did notice that the absence of RGB also led to a slight decrease in overall color accuracy and gamut.
In terms of features, the DeathAdder V3 Pro comes with several notable upgrades. One of the most significant is the improved battery life, which is rated at up to 90 hours on a single charge. This is an impressive feat, especially when considering that many high-end gaming mice barely manage to squeak out 20-30 hours of use. Additionally, the mouse includes a sleep timer, which allows you to set it to shut down after a period of inactivity and conserve battery life.
Another notable feature of the DeathAdder V3 Pro is its compatibility with Razer's proprietary 4KHz dongle. This allows for faster data transfer rates than standard USB connectivity, resulting in a more responsive and accurate gaming experience. However, I did find that pairing this mouse was slightly finicky at first, although I eventually became accustomed to it.
The final aspect of the DeathAdder V3 Pro that's worth mentioning is its ergonomics. The new design has done away with some of the more aggressive angles and edges found on previous models, resulting in a much more comfortable fit for my hand. The back hump, in particular, has been redesigned to slide smoothly underneath my palm, providing an excellent platform for wrist movement and control.
One minor drawback I did encounter was that the bottom button couldn't be remapped through Synapse, which is Razer's software suite for customizing mouse settings. This is a relatively minor quibble, however, as many gamers are more interested in simply tweaking the DPI setting or switching between different profiles rather than assigning complex macros to individual buttons.
Finally, I did find the price point of the DeathAdder V3 Pro to be slightly steep at $150. While it's clear that Razer has invested heavily in researching and developing this mouse, I couldn't help but feel that it was positioned at a higher premium than some of its competitors. That being said, I do believe that this is due in part to the fact that many high-end gaming mice are priced similarly or even higher.
Overall, however, I'd say that the DeathAdder V3 Pro has been an absolute delight to use. Its ergonomic design, impressive performance, and impressive battery life all make it a serious contender in the world of high-end gaming mice. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, this mouse is definitely worth considering.
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwell good people on dmitry we are told that the death outer family has had an identity crisis which i'm not sure how true that is because the death hatter is one of the most popular uh names in mai's game and so the new death outer v3 pro in two words it's an ergo viper i have never liked the original deathadder shape i felt it was too bulky the flaring was too much the finger grooves were too deep and it wasn't for me and all that's been fixed on the new mouse which again i think might be one most popular mice in the world also they separated the primary clicks away from the main shell leaving all those previous issues from the previous model in the past i mean hopefully you know but aside from all the improvements bluetooth has been removed which i'm fine with but it's one of those things that you are removing features while increasing the price point time to buy the v2 now if that's your shape and so this is the new death hatter v3 pro aka dove three or dave 149 63 gram weight all the latest tech from razer including the gen 3 optical switches that feel nice and crispy but are loud so everything on this malice is performance focused there's no more rgb on the logo the texture is coarse like they're uh pvt keycaps for excellent grip the bottom feet are super smooth it charges with usbc with a large enough opening at the front for other usbc cables to fit instead of that stupid proprietary connection thing the dongle is properly labeled with an extension brick included but no way to stash the dongle inside the body of the mouse the power slash dpi button is at the bottom just like on the viper and the notification led to see your dpi settings is in front of the scroll wheel it is kind of hidden the all-new h7 what's note 2 like it's like a perfectly tuned guitar or a sharpened knife keeping the user happy and your hardware safe the best part is the redesigned interior that is full of potential with 360 route support at the top and front including one 40mm mounts a totally new cable management system and cable bar with of course vertical gpu support with this gen 4 pcie riser kit the 3k styles are made to suit your needs with the flow being my favorite i think this is the way to full tower your next build check out the new h7 when your heart desires it is impressive how well this thing is built there's absolutely no rattling whatsoever as you move the mouse around there's no rattling as you squeeze the mouse at all and just feels like such a better build quality mouse versus my deathadder v2 that just feels like it's gonna i mean i haven't even used this thing much and it feels like it's about to fall apart plus of course the lack of holes is kind of a razor staple while keeping that weight under control so 63 grams for this mouse size for me is perfect but i'm not sure how the rest of the gaming community will perceive it simply because it's just such a massive departure from the weight of the previous wireless deathadder but i'm here to say that the balance of this mouse is absolutely perfect there are of course uh remnants of the original death hatteran here starting with the relatively large side buttons the mouse from the left side is very much a death hatter but with a higher hump and a higher scroll wheel too the scroll steps are lighter than the my viper but it sticks out more on the death hatter which i like the biggest difference is the lack of flaring on the front triggers especially on the right side so now there's a comfortable place for my fingers this is a huge plus for my hybrid grip style but also because the finger grooves are not so deep and the overall shape feels more modern so five minutes with this mouse and i was flying it is an easy shape to get used to and i would actually prefer the new death adder over the viper for fps which might sound strange but i feel like there's just the right amount of ergonomics in the shape so you can still go full ham with your flakes and etc this new shape does remind me of the corsair saber and the x-lite wireless v2 but the slimmer and sharper back section of the razor is much better for those additional wrist movement adjustments at least for me since the mouse can tuck below your palm without bumping into anything every death outer comes with grip tape if you really want to rubberize every surface that you make contact with and it really helps to secure the mouse in hand despite having really good coarse texture by default and it also kind of mimics the rubberized texture of the previous the thado v2 pro the wireless one of the side grips so if you're coming from that and you really like the rubber texture on the sides this is one way to mimic that nice and also these are not permanent for example you can put them on you can take them off a couple of times and yeah you'll have a very nice secure mouse in the hand now the lack of rgb is a huge win for battery life it's rated up to 90 hours of continuous usage with of course that sleep timer coming in handy to save on battery life and i've been using it for just over a week and i have not been able to kill it unless i'm using the 4k hertz dongle which you can actually see the depreciation of battery life much much faster it quarters your battery life but the recharge time is three hours zero to a hundred fairly fast so everything is kind of perfect on paper with the new death header but does it play nice nothing will prepare you against bush campers but it is definitely one of the very few mice that immediately felt comfortable and felt one-to-one in terms of my aim at 800 dpi without anything poking me without anything feeling weird on my hybrid grip style and yeah this is definitely going to be in my top 5 of all time i find this particularly comfortable because i used my wrist for those finer aim adjustments aside from my elbow and because of this back hump over here it just slides so well underneath my palm uh and if that's you you're gonna find this really comfortable too i do have a few complaints though you cannot remap the bottom button to anything else in synapse just like on the viper and that's a drawback if you're coming from the previous versions of death adder where you had the two buttons and you can assign those to something else outside of dpi and also the price point 150 bucks for this thing is a bit much right now especially in the death outer lineage the previous wireless death adder was 129 dollars you could pick it up on sales and i feel like this should have been in the same price category so that it would allow people to upgrade without feeling like you're moving up a ladder and staying in the same family also because mice like the x-lite v2 wireless exist which is half the price the stuff from glorious 2 and the economic space and i feel like razer is just not taking into account all the competition that is available that is wireless and ergonomic and potentially that's gonna you know that's gonna hurt them a little bit it would have been awesome if the 4khz dongle was included in the 150 price point with the new death adder which by the way pairing is absolutely seamless and i can already feel like a very tiny improvement in my click registration and click latency even though i don't have the instruments to test it it feels a little bit more responsive but having said all that i find it to be an almost perfect ergonomic wireless mouse it's super lightweight very comfortable no holes so no gunk over time and feature wise i find it to be you know quite future proof and also battery life is good at 90 hours and the potential to connect it to a 4khz dongle so again giving you the potential to get into more of that competitive scene but again it's catering to that really high performance competitive crowd and i'm not sure if the deathadder people are them but you let me know what you think of the new death hatter v3 pro dave i'm a dimitri
