Finds the wired DeathAdder V3 really good, well made and comfortable in shape.

“I have the deathadder v3 wired version, it's really good, well made and the shape is enjoyable to use”

A week into the wired DeathAdder V3, they like it, though it's big and the side buttons sit a bit high; chose it for the better coating and half the price.

“I also got a dav3 last week. I really like it but its pretty big and also the side button placement is a bit high.”
positivegreat value

Several hours with the wired DeathAdder V3, compared side by side with their DAV3 Pro: the M1 and M2 clicks are lighter and quieter, while the Pro sounds a little hollow by comparison.

“I received my Dav3 today and been playing with it for several hours.”
positivegreat performance

Prefers the wired DeathAdder V3 to the V3 Pro, which they returned: lighter, more spammable clicks, better Zowie-like coating that doesn't show fingerprints, lighter weight and 8kHz polling. The cable is the only downside.

“So basically the clicks are lighter and spammable on the wired. The coating is better”

Stopped using the DAV3 Pro within a week because of phantom scroll jumps. The wired DeathAdder V3 has had none and is now their favourite mouse and daily driver.

“the new wired DAv3 is amazing, the scroll wheel steps are not crazy defined”

Just got the wired DeathAdder V3 coming from a Logitech G604 and loves it; it's so light it feels like moving air.

“Coming from G604 to this mouse, I'm loving it. The weight difference feels like I'm moving the air.”

Bought the wired DeathAdder V3 and finds it an excellent mouse, but too big overall for their 17x10cm hands.

“I bought this one and it’s an excellent mouse just overall too big for my hand size 17x10”

Their first ergo mouse and perfect for 19x10cm hands: they love the coating, clicks, scroll wheel and sturdy, creak-free build, and the cable is a big upgrade over the Viper 8K's. Got it for $36.

“I love the coating, the clicks, the scroll wheel, and the build quality (it's mega sturdy, no creaking or popping).”

Went with the wired DeathAdder V3 over the V3 Pro: better click latency and better clicks out of the box.

“I eventually bought the dav3 (wired). Better click latency, better clicks out of the box.”

Owning the DeathAdder V2 wired and V2 Pro, they find the V3 wired better in weight, click feel and ergonomic shape.

“Can confirm, the V3 wired is better in weight, button click / feeling, and ergonomic shape.”

Almost a year with the wired DeathAdder V3 using fingertip grip and small hands: it fits perfectly with no hand pain even after very long sessions, the clicks are light, and it's light and comfortable. The only flaw is a slight creak below the side buttons when pressed hard.

“it fits my hand perfectly and i never have any wrist/overall hand pain even after 16-20 hours of using it”

About a year into their wired DeathAdder V3, still one of the best affordable mice. The only issue is the cable occasionally losing connection until pushed back in.

“My dav3 is like a year old too and the only issue I experienced with this mouse is with the cable.”
positivegreat valueconnection issues

Upgraded from a long-loved DeathAdder V2 to the wired DeathAdder V3 and calls it their worst decision: similar ergonomics, but constant connects and disconnects on multiple PCs, with and without Razer software.

“I thought I'd upgrade and get the Deathadder v3 (wired), worst decision”

Upgraded from a G502 Hero to the wired DeathAdder V3 for Valorant. It felt like a toy at first, but they got used to the light weight within days, and the coating is amazing.

“I finally upgraded from my 4yr old G502 Hero to a Razer Deathadder V3 Wired.”

Their DeathAdder V3 kept disconnecting; a firmware update helped only for a while, and what fixed it permanently was uninstalling the generic Windows mouse driver.

“the disconnecting issue eventually started up again.”

Calls the wired DeathAdder V3 probably one of the best-feeling gaming mice they've used, though it can feel big, and they like the smaller HyperSpeed even more.

“Probably one of the best feeling gaming mouse I’ve ever used”

This user loves the wired DeathAdder V3 for its comfort after the Viper V2 Pro caused wrist pain.

“I love my V3 wired. I switched from Viper V2 pro.”

This DeathAdder V3 user's scroll wheel sometimes registers the wrong way or not at all.

“I've been using the razer deathadder v3, and the scrollwheel is driving me crazy as it occasionally register the wrong way, or not register at all”
negativedurability issues

Has used the wired DeathAdder V3 since 2024 with no issues at all.

“I'm using a DAv3 right now (wired) since 2024 and it's honestly been great, not a single issue with it”

Found the DeathAdder V3 far better than the G502 Hero for its taller body and lower weight, but its M1 is now about to break off and the side grips are wearing through.

“I've had 2 mice so far, a Logitech G502 Hero and a Razer Deathadder V3, and the deathadder was way better, from its taller body to the lower weight.”

Using a DeathAdder V3 with a pincer claw, they find the buttons too high and the hump too far forward to reach the side buttons.

“I currently am using a deathadder V3 with a pincer claw grip and I feel like the buttons are too high, the hump is too far forward”
