And then we come to the sensor, Razers party trick (the Deathadder Elites stats are in parentheses for comparison).When you buy through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.The most obvious improvement is the Focus Optical Sensor, the same one used in the excellent Razer Viper Ultimate Wireless.
Ill go into it in a second, but I was more impressed by the more subtle changes Razer has made for the V2. Razer has a ridiculous name for the new design, Instinctive Scroll Wheel Tactility, but the results are perfect. The fact Razer is using a new wire (with an equally ridiculous name, Speedflex Cable, also sounds insignificant, but turns out to be a big deal. Ive used a version of the Deathadder (the Expert) for years, and my one complaint is that the stiffer wire can sometimes pull the mouse to one side, depending on how it sits on my desk. The left and right mouse buttons are more durable than the Elite, too. Theyre optical, rather than mechanical (they use an infrared light beam to register clicks), which means they should deliver fewer misclicks, lower latency, and have a longer life. Razer reckons theyll last 70 million clicks, rather than the 50 million for the Deathadder Elite. While I cant possibly tell how accurate that number is, they certainly felt as responsive as I could ever need, and I never misclicked. In games of Fortnite and Escape from Tarkov my shots felt instant, and I never had to worry about firing accidentally. The up and down sensitivity buttons have been redesigned, too. The Elites were essentially one long, thin button split in two. It doesnt look as flashy, but the gap makes it easier to distinguish between the two without looking, ideal if you need to change sensitivity in the heat of battle (if youre zooming in with a sniper, say). Theres also a new button on the mouses base that switches between custom profiles for sensitivity and RGB lighting. If youre signed into Razers Synapse software, you can set up an unlimited number of profiles, and you can also store five in the on-board memory to use regardless of where you plug in the V2. Once youve set up the profiles, its an easy way to flip between options without digging into Synapse. Image credit: Razer) Next, the material. The Deathadder Elite has segmented thumb rests on either side of the mouse, with edges that clearly separate them from the rest of the side panel. On the V2, theres less separation, and with raised, pimpled portions on the panel instead. Without seams to separate them, dirt buildup is less of a concern, too. The matte black coating on the top of the mouse stops your hand from slipping, and when combined with the V2s shape (like the Elite, its pretty much the ideal shape for a right-hander, and fits well in almost any palm size) it makes the V2 a comfortable mouse to use for hours and hours.
