Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro: What Real Users Actually Think

This is currently tied with the Xlite V2 as my favorite ergo mouse shape. When it first leaked I just knew it was going to be my next mouse.

I have the regular daV3. It's a really good mouse and it's very lightweight. 8KHz polling is somewhat of a gimmick, but the mouse itself is quite nice. However, i did buy mine for $27 on amazon, so not sure wireless is worth $60 more...

I bought this and returned it, as I don't think that it's any better than my Xlite V2 for my needs.

Love this mouse, but just a heads up: My scroll wheel started acting up 6 months in, had to do an RMA. I use my mouse 10+ hours a day, and the skates after 6 months definitely needed to be replaced.

Obligatory warning: Potential for very bad/defective mouse wheel encoders in these mice. I've had 3 RMA units that double scroll after using them for 1-2 months. Same issue with the Viper Pro Ultimates before. In contrast, I've been on multiple Chinese made WLMouse Beast X's for close to a year now and they've all been flawless.

If you're a full palm grip or extended claw grip, you will want to stay with the DAV3. The Viper V3 Pro is better for those who do NOT use all the mouse real estate and want a tighter package. The DAV3 is still suitable for those with XL hands.

Happy birthday, at half the price of the v4, the v3 is a no brainer. The v4 has more battery life and some minor adjustments like coating/weight, but its not worth double the price.

PSA this mouse has absolutely terrible QA. The inside of the mouse is also completely exposed, so don't store it any place where there's any sort of dust. After 16 months of usage one mouse button had to be replaced and I had to replace the side button. I'm no fan of Logitech, but if nothing else their stuff doesn't break as consistently as Razer does. I'd get the Dex superlight if you can swing it.

Yes

I don't think this particular model gets the double-click issue since the switches for the mouse buttons are optical. Definitely a big draw for this mouse, especially at this price.

I've been using this mouse for over a year and definitely the best mouse I have personally used. I have fairly large hands and use claw grip, it's great for that. I charged the mouse maybe once a week with no issue with battery life.

Depends on your hand size and grip type. The top mice nowadays all have great sensors and low weight. The shape of the shell and how it fits in your hand is all that really matters at this point.

If you get the V3 personally I'd just make sure you're getting the smooth touch variant and not the OG coating it came with initially. Night and day difference and the smooth touch just feels much sturdier in comparison.

Viper V3 Pro, safer shape, more versatile, you can experiment with more grip style & the better sensor couldn't hurt either. DAV3 Hyperspeed encourage palm grip but it's too small for most Westerners to effectively palm, it's a mouse mainly for Asian/smaller hands.

Its good keep it if you like the shape.

Depends on your grip style. If you use claw grip, get the Viper V3 Pro. If you use palm grip or a palm-claw hybrid, get the Deathadder V3 Hyperspeed.

Great mouse, really good battery life, and have managed to go a year without having a double-click issue which is more than I can say for my last few Razer/Corsair/Logitech mice.

Ok mouse, great battery life, but I find myself accidentally pressing the lower left side button with my thumb a lot.

I like it for fps games. Kinda big and i swap between the dav3 and a lamzu maya which is quite a bit smaller. Depends if you have big hands or not.

Performance in game was pretty much the same for me. The advantages of the v4 are small technical improvements and a better build quality + a bit less weight. Later v3 releases might be better than my creaky release v3 in terms of QC.

I've seen people said non pro has better coating and lighter if you don't care wired or wireless.

I got this for 80 last year. Really love it.

My fav shape, playing with it from Nov, almost 6 month. All perfect.

They are the same mouse but with a 100 price difference for the wireless. Also, the wired one has a better coating compared to the basic DAV3Pro.

Shape wise, they're the same. Specs wise, the DAV3 wired is slightly better than the Pro version if you don't mind the cable and like the coating. It's less than half the price, has a slightly lighter weight, and has more consistent performance when using higher polling rates and has a locked 8Khz click latency no matter what polling rate you use, so it's slightly more responsive than the Pro.

V4 pro is so well made, like a brick, maybe better than zowie. V3 pro goes creaky within a month. Just a big QC upgrade.

Yes I did upgrade to the viper v3 pro, and I really like it. The main mouse clicks feel a bit crispier. The scroll wheel was a big improvement over the DAV3, it's lower profile and smaller so it's very easy to click down and the scroll steps are more pronounced.

I had the same issue with the scroll wheel, they also replaced my product. But otherwise, I love this mouse!

Different internal specs. Dav3 pro and VV3 both have better sensors than the hyperspeed among other things. For most people the performance difference will be imperceivable so shape/size is a more important metric to look at.

Goated Mouse. I prefer the mini because I have small hands, but they are the same. If you like the shape, you'll have a multi year mouse.

I like this mouse and most Razor products, but the mouse wheel on mine started having issues after less than a year. The encoder isn't difficult to replace if you can solder.

I have the regular wired daV3 version of this mouse and really like it, but I had to RMA my original model after about 9 months due to a really annoying scroll wheel jumping issue that is well documented.

It's really not worth the extra cash if you are okay with a wire. That's the main difference, additionally to get the same performance with the V3 pro you need to spend extra on the hyper polling dongle. Just save money and get the wired imo. Also the coating is general better on the wired one lol.

The Wired version has better quality overall. I rmad my DAV3 Pro 3x in 1 year. Meanwhile my DAV3 Wired is solid. It also has a coating which is alot better than DAV3 Pro.

Imo yes if the cable is ok for you the mouse is half the price of the dav3 pro, 8khz ready, better coating and build quality.

I constantly accidentally hit the scroll wheel button on the pro. I like the tactical feel and when I hit it it's free spin. No issue with the wired one. I personally prefer the wired version.

I had the Viper v2 pro before the dav3 but with my big hands I wanted to try the dav3, the size was good but the QC horrible M1 and M2 sticky with a big post travel unplayable the stock feet also ultra slippery I felt like I was playing in 1600dpi. Back to my v2 pro even if it's a bit small for my hand.

Ended up with the V3 and bought the hyperspeed dongle separately. The mouse is incredibly light compared to the V2 Pro, it's way more comfortable to use for work and gaming.

If you prefer ergo, get the dav3, if you prefer ambi, go for the viper v3.

I wonder if the DAV3 pro's mouse wheel is just poorly engineered.

Latest releases of DAV3 Pro are nearly perfect in terms of QC. The coating, however, is absent. Only DAV3 Smooth Touch has grippy coating, but that is not really worth it.
