In other words, the texture revamp is a success. You always feel in control regardless of whether you're zooming in on your animals in Planet Zoo or pulling back for a look at the battlefield as a whole in World of Warcraft. It's the same story with the new scroll wheel.

This mouse isn't going to escape you even if you're flinging it around in games like Apex Legends. This is one of the most comfortable gaming mice we've ever used, and it's superbly grippy.

If not, you're in for a pleasant surprise. If you've used a DeathAdder before, you'll know what to expect - and the V2 doesn't disappoint. They're smaller than you might expect, for instance it's an economic use of space. They're a lot less attention-grabbing on the V2, and blend into the overall design nicely. The rubber grips have also felt the benefit of a spruce up. Unlike the DeathAdder Elite, these are of a square shape and sit within a groove that runs half-way down the mouse. The main differences are those new DPI buttons below the scroll wheel, the latter also receiving a light makeover in the form of a new, more grippy surface. Which is no bad thing - the old DeathAdder mice were handsome anyway. This clearly exists within the same wheelhouse as before, bar some extras sprinkled here and there. In terms of looks, the DeathAdder V2 doesn't stray far from its roots. Because it's accompanied by a 650 IPS ('inches per second') rating as well, the V2 will perform even if you're hurling it across your mouse mat. The most noteworthy extra would be increased sensitivity, though - this particular DeathAdder has 20,000 DPI thanks to a Focus+ Optical sensor, which is outrageously responsive. Five onboard profiles and a feather-weight of 0.18lbs / 82g don't hurt either (though if you want an even lighter version, you can opt for the Razer DeathAdder V2 Mini instead). In addition, the V2 now packs eight programmable buttons, Razer Optical Switches with a 70M-click durability, a Speedflex cable that won't impede movement as much, and 100% PTFE feet for smoother movement. Rather than bulky hexagonal grips, the texture is tighter and smaller. In addition, the V2's sides have been given a makeover with more subtle rubber. Much like the DeathAdder Elite, the V2's DPI settings can now be increased or decreased via two buttons below the scroll wheel (which is more aggressively spikey for a better grip). Reborn for a new generation, the Razer DeathAdder V2 retains that same iconic shape while adding much-needed tweaks here and there.
