Design & Comfort
Classic DeathAdder silhouette refined—lower weight, better grip, and reduced hand fatigue over long sessions. Coating resists sweat; feet glide smoothly on cloth and hybrid pads like the Artisan Zero and Logitech G640.
Shape note: Best for medium to large hands with palm or claw grip. Fingertip users may find it too large; small-handed users should try before buying.
Real-world observation: Comfortable for 3-4 hour gaming sessions without palm fatigue; coating stayed grippy during extended Valorant ranked climbs.
Key Features
- Ultra-light wireless body with ergonomic shell
- Flagship optical sensor with flawless tracking
- HyperSpeed wireless; optional high polling accessories (4K/8K dongles sold separately)
- USB-C charging; onboard profiles via Razer Synapse
Performance
Flick shots feel natural; micro-adjustments are easy in MOBAs and RTS. Tracking and LOD are dialed in; lift-offs don't cause jitter. Battery easily covers multi-day sessions (tested: 5 days of 8hr/day mixed use before needing charge).
Feet + Pad Pairing: PTFE feet pair excellently with cloth pads (Artisan, QcK, G640) and hybrid surfaces. Glass/hard pad users may want aftermarket skates for smoother glide.
