Best shape Razer has ever made

Switched from the V2 and the weight reduction is night and day. My aim feels so much more controlled during fast flicks.

Great mouse, wish it was wireless

Performance is flawless, sensor tracks perfectly, but I do miss the freedom of wireless from my previous mouse.

Perfect for claw grip

The ergonomics are incredible for my hand size, and the optical switches feel crisp and responsive.

Solid upgrade

Noticeably lighter than older DeathAdders. Cable is soft and doesn't snag much. Great value for the price.
