Know before you buy
This mouse is specifically designed for right-handed users who prefer a claw or palm grip. Its ergonomic shape is optimized for these styles, though those with very small hands may find it less comfortable than users with medium to large hands.
An 8000 Hz polling rate allows the mouse to send data to your PC eight times faster than a standard 1000 Hz gaming mouse. This results in smoother cursor movement and lower input latency, which can provide a competitive edge in fast-paced, high-refresh-rate gaming.
The mouse features a Razer Speedflex cable, which is designed to be highly flexible and lightweight. This minimizes drag and resistance, making it feel almost as unrestricted as a wireless mouse.
Yes, the Razer DeathAdder V3 features six fully programmable buttons. You can map macros and secondary functions to these buttons using Razer's software to suit your specific playstyle.
The mouse uses Gen-3 Optical Switches, which are rated for 90 million clicks. Because they use light-based actuation rather than physical contact, they are highly resistant to double-clicking issues and offer a very consistent feel over time.
The mouse is plug-and-play, but to fully utilize the 30,000 DPI sensor and customize your DPI stages, polling rate, or button assignments, you will need to install Razer Synapse software.
