With the DeathAdder V4 Pro, Razer isn’t just updating a classic, it’s firing a shot at the competition by stripping down the weight, cranking up the sensors, and pushing the wireless polling rate to the max, all while keeping that iconic DeathAdder look and feel.Read T
The DeathAdder V4 Pro also comes with a new wireless dongle — instead of the typical USB-A dongle that plugs directly into your PC, the V4 Pro comes with a small, weighted wireless dongle that connects to your PC via a USB-C to USB-A cable.Read

That’s what the DeathAdder V4 Pro gets right: It feels good to use. The buttons are snappy with a short travel distance but provide just enough resistance that resting your hand on them doesn’t risk a mis-input. The mouse wheel feels tight and notchy, with short ratchets that easily snap into place as you scroll. The overall shape is slightly sculpted, with a subtle ergonomic curve on either side.Read R
And according to them, the V4 Pro features their biggest technological updates in 10 years as it features new switches, a new sensor, an optical scroll wheel, and more. All packed into the loved death adder ergonomic shape that still managed to cut some weight as well. So, let's check it out closer before we get into the technical stuff. And yes, as you can see, the shape remains unchanged.Watch I
I felt the same way when I tried DeathAdder V4 Pro: Razer knows how to make mice that feel near-indestructible. Despite weighing just 50g, it feels tough. Nothing wiggles or waggles where it shouldn't, and it's the kind of mouse I could drop on the floor without worrying about damage.Read B
The DeathAdder V4 Pro is ultra lightweight, at 56 grams for the black version, and 57 for the white. It keeps the award-winning ergonomic shape, but has been redesigned for tighter movement and a soft-touch matte finish. This DeathAdder is Razer's first gaming mouse with an optical scroll wheel, built for precision and durability. Hold the button on the bottom to power it on or off.Watch G
I adore this layout. My previous mouse had its DPI button near my grip, leading to a lot of accidental presses. Now, I understand that the layout might favor some types of games, but it just wasn’t it for me. The DeathAdder V4 Pro keeps it out of sight and out of mind.Read T
I covered this mouse around when this channel first started about 6 years ago. And back then I said it was the perfect gaming mouse. A lot has changed in 6 years and that's exactly what we're going to talk about today. the new release from Razer being the Razer Death Adder V4 Pro. I am an erggo mane.Watch T

All of your weight junkies out there better go running and buy it right now. But now, there are some differences. But honestly, looking at them just like this, you're not going to be able to tell one from the other. I honestly couldn't tell you which one's which right here. How you're going to be able to tell the difference is number one being with the dongle.Watch M r/MouseReview u/shinzra · owner
The V4 is a expensive product, but if you can find it on a sale or within ya budget, I recommend giving it a try!Read thread C
To test this, I'm using Razer's newest and best gaming mouse and putting it head-to-head with a brand name that you may never even heard of before. Attack Shark. Our investigation starts with specs. The Deathadder has Razer's 45K DPI optical sensor and the Attack Shark has a 42,000 DPI optical sensor. Both flagships made both by Pixart.Watch F Facebook RazerVietnam

But this one, this mouse right here really does hit different and I really enjoy it quite a bit surprisingly. Maybe it's a shape. maybe got used to it because I'm gonna put next to each other here the Dex as well as if I can hold them properly and the V4 Pro. All right, there you go.Watch B
Super comfortable. The mouse feet are noticeably bigger than before. Now, if you remember for my Viper V3 Pro, once I switched over, the quality of them wasn't that good. They didn't glide that well. I'm happy to report that these skates are much better than those. It glides right out of the box so nicely. Not scratchy at all. Not slow, no slow spots. Perfect. Although, I do wish that they would hWatch T
Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro is superb for all these reasons but awful for one loud oneWatch G
In that sense, it actually seems better than a 50,000 won Hyper Polling dongle. Next, looking at the exterior, the V4 Pro looks so similar to the V3 Pro that it is difficult to distinguish them with the naked eye. If we start with the visible parts, the top features an LED indicator, a scroll wheel, and a logo, which are identical to the V3 Pro.Watch T
I've been using it for the past couple of weeks and it is pretty impressive. This is definitely one of my favorite releases of the year and let me tell you why. This is the box of the Death Adder V4 Pro. Let me go ahead and open this. I mean just super simple packaging, but basically they give you some mouse grips, some stickers, a couple of notes.Watch N
I do not want to bore you with cryptic specs right away, but again, the amount of technology Razor crammed into a mouse that's just 56 g is pretty insane. Even though I have to be honest once again, if it will make a difference for a player like myself, that is still highly questionable.Watch E
The best part is despite being so light, Razer still managed to make it very strong and rigid feeling. It doesn't feel like it has any flex at the sides and it doesn't make any creaking sounds. Very impressive for such a lightweight design. It's got an all matte finish and it seems to do a good job resisting sweat and fingerprints and it feels secure to hold during long gaming sessions.Watch T
It's got a nice smooth plastic feel and it feels super lightweightWatch A
I really appreciate how they put a bigger skate design down hereWatch K
The Razer V4 Pro is the latest addition to the Death Adder mice lineup and with it comes 3 years worth of upgrades as the previous edition was released in 2022. The V4 Pro comes with a brand new Gen 2 45K focus sensor, optical switches, and much more.Watch T
And honestly, this is my favorite one yet. And I know I'm already laying it on thick. But it truly dethrones every other mouse I use when it comes to raw performance and will take its place next to my Ultralite X and Viper Mini SE as the three mice I constantly rotate through.Watch J
I've been using this mouse for around 2 weeks now, maybe even more, and I've been absolutely loving my time with it. On the outside, it might not look like it's a big upgrade over the V3 Pro, but honestly, when you start using this, the difference, at least for me, is very noticeable. Also, I want to mention that I did purchase this with my own money, and these are all my own thoughts about it. BuWatch J
Between the Viper V4 Pro and the Deathadder V4 Pro shapes, I do actually think I prefer the Deathadder since I had a lot of shoulder problems in the past and I've noticed the right sided tilt makes those occasional pains a lot less frequent. An ergo that is smaller than this sometimes works for me. Like for example, the Pulsar Zywoo mouse in the mini size is a perfect example of that. But there isWatch N
The coating is much more smoother than the previous one, and it gives a really premium feel. What's really impressive is that how much they have shaved the weight from the new variant. The black one weighs around 56 g, while the white variant weighs around 57 g, which is negligible, and it's practically unnoticeable. I don't understand how the white one weighs 1 g more.Watch T
With the new V4 Pro, Razer has taken everything people loved about the Death Adder line and made it faster, lighter, and smarter. The first thing you notice the moment you pick it up is the weight. It's only 56 g. Ridiculously light for a wireless mouse. When you move it, it feels almost effortless, like it's floating on your mouse pad.Watch V
What makes this version special is mainly the design, the theme, and the collaboration itself. When you first open the box, the presentation already feels a little different compared to the regular version. The packaging has that special collaboration look, and you can clearly see the Nico branding. It's a nice touch for fans of the player. Inside the box, though, everything is pretty familiar.Watch M
After 4 months, the sensor remains flawless. Zero gitter, zero acceleration, zero inconsistency. It's the kind of sensor you forget about because it simply never fails, okay, mojo? And the clicks? Well, basically the clicks remain identical to the first day: dry, fast, and precise. And the tactile sensation has n't changed at all.Watch G
Sensor is great. We have a brand new dongle which has increased range and connectivity and it's also very heavy. so it doesn't slide off your desk with the very thick braided AK cable which is really nice. We have the smooth touch debatable coating. Um, and pretty much this guy's upgraded all across the board. They shaved off I think this is coming in at 55 g.Watch

However, when using this feature and making adjustments, we realized that not having the ability to store on-board profiles could be an issue for those who use their gaming mouse with more than one rig.Read H
I do feel like the direction Razer is taking with the Death Outer might not be the right one for the mainstream space.Watch S
Still, I wanted to see what kind of benefit even a casual like me can gain from a mouse like this one, and while there definitely are some, a pro gamer mouse does not make a pro gamer.Read B
Um the functionality of these, like I do wish they had rapid trigger and adjustable actuation point. Um you can see there is like there's some pre-travel. It's not crazy, but in practice, like I don't find these to be a high latency bad unusable click. But I will say like in certain situations, like double editing down in Fortnite, for example, I have just become used to how like low the travel isWatch R r/razer u/VisibleExercise5966 · owner

No Bluetooth connectivity. Not a significant upgrade over V3.Read T
But well, it definitely would take a lot of sort of learning to retrain your muscle memory to support that. One thing that I found rather funny with this thing was well actually this little dome. This is the Hypers Speed V2 wireless dongle, which very explicitly claims true 8000Hz wireless, which implies all others, I guess including their own two, are not true 8000 hertz.Watch T

The clicks on this new Death Adder, though, are where things go off of the rails for me a little bit. They have been updated to the new Gen 4 switches, but they are really loud and well, just listen to this. There is a super annoying and really loud ping from the right click. And I reached out to some other creators and it seems like they had a similar experience here.Watch V
If you're a palm gripper with medium to large hands, this thing feels like it was molded for you. There's an opinion from a long-time Deathadder owner that stuck with me. Someone moving up from an older Pro model who said the new shape feels more locked in and controllable, not just comfortable. That tracks with what most owners report.Watch S
Even though you can't find any button wobble here, and clicking is very nice with minimal pre and post travel, the sound the switches make is really loud. And at night or in shared space, it could get annoying. Then there's the new scroll wheel with optical encoder which should supposedly solve all the issues with random scrolls.Watch C
My impressions of this is the build quality is questionable because I did have tWatch

Just like the DeathAdder V4 Pro I reviewed last July, the Viper V4 Pro is another one of Razer’s sleek black mouse designs with just the snake logo on the back side of it. Just like the other Pro mice, there’s no RGB, which helps extend battery life at higher refresh rates.Read P
