Razer DeathAdder V3 HyperSpeed

If you’ve ever used a Razer DeathAdder before, you already know its legacy. It’s one of the most iconic mouse shapes in PC gaming history—trusted by pros, praised by casuals, and refined over the years. With the DeathAdder V3 HyperSpeed, Razer takes that classic ergonomic design and strips it down to its leanest, fastest, and most responsive form yet.

Weighing in at just around 55 grams, the V3 HyperSpeed is incredibly light, especially for an ergonomic wireless mouse. That lightness instantly makes a difference in fast-paced games—tracking feels effortless, and long gaming sessions won’t wear out your wrist. Razer worked directly with professional esports players to fine-tune the shape, trimming away unnecessary bulk while keeping the natural curves and comfort that made the DeathAdder famous.

But it’s not just about comfort—it’s about performance, and this mouse delivers. Under the hood is Razer’s Focus X 26K sensor, offering pixel-precise tracking and lightning-quick responsiveness. Paired with Razer's 3rd-gen optical switches, clicks register nearly instantly, with no debounce delay. The default 1000Hz polling rate is more than enough for most, but if you're the type who demands every millisecond, it’s compatible with Razer’s HyperPolling dongle for up to 8000Hz input speeds.

Battery life doesn’t take a hit from all this tech either—you’re looking at up to 100 hours of wireless play on a single charge. And since it’s a performance-focused mouse, Razer kept things simple: no RGB, no Bluetooth, no distractions—just pure, competitive function.

One thing to note: the grip might feel a bit narrow if you have larger hands, and the smooth coating can get slippery during intense matches. But for most players—especially those who use claw or fingertip grip styles—it strikes an impressive balance between weight, shape, and control.

The DeathAdder V3 HyperSpeed isn’t here to dazzle you with RGB or gimmicks—it’s here to win games. It combines legendary comfort with modern performance, and its featherlight design makes it a go-to for competitive gamers. Whether you’re grinding ranked or just want a no-nonsense wireless mouse that feels like an extension of your hand, this one should be high on your list.
