Razer DeathAdder V2

The Razer DeathAdder V2 is an excellent FPS gaming mouse. Its click latency is extremely low, and you can set your own custom CPI setting within a very wide range. All of its buttons can be reprogrammed, and it's comfortable enough to use for long gaming marathons. It's great for palm grip for any hand size, though smaller hands may have a harder time with claw or fingertip grip.

Razer updated the DeathAdder V2 with a Focus+ optical sensor that makes it a joy to use, even if it seems larger-than-usual at first. It’s a worthy option for right-handed gamers who don’t need a bunch of whiz-bang features to appreciate a well-performing mouse.

The Razer DeathAdder V2 isn’t necessarily deserving of such an auspicious name, but optical switches, a super-flexible cable, and three more buttons make this the upgrade the DeathAdder needed.
