Razer DeathAdder V2 — Professional Esports Gaming Mouse Review and Stats
About the Razer DeathAdder V2
The Razer DeathAdder V2 modernized the classic ergonomic shape at 82 grams wired with the Focus+ sensor and second-generation optical switches in 2020. It represented a significant weight reduction from the 105-gram DeathAdder Elite while maintaining the exact ergonomic contour millions of players knew and loved. The Focus+ sensor and optical switches brought cutting-edge technology to the most iconic mouse shape in gaming. The DeathAdder V2's Speedflex cable addressed complaints about stiff cables from earlier generations. It continued the DeathAdder tradition of being one of the best-selling gaming mice globally. The V2 was the last major wired-focused DeathAdder before Razer pivoted to wireless with the V3 generation.
