Their DeathAdder V3 Pro had a wobbly scroll wheel out of the box, which Razer considers within tolerance; their Viper V3 Pro never developed it.

“Old post, I know, but fwiw my deathadder v3 pro had this issue fresh out of the box and my Viper v3 pro did not and has not developed it either.”
negativequality control issues

Every Razer mouse they have owned creaks; the DeathAdder V3 Pro is the worst, creaking at the side under the lightest touch.

“Every single razer mouse I owned creaks. The worst one is deathadder v3 pro, the side will creaks if you just puts your hand on it without any pressure.”
negativequality control issues

Their DeathAdder V3 Pro has creaky sides and scroll wheel and clicks that feel like they're rubbing, even after cleaning; they sold it.

“I have Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro, creaky sides, scroll wheel feels like it's rubbing against something”

Owns the DeathAdder V3 Pro and a G Pro X Superlight and finds the DAV3 Pro really good, especially for large hands.

“the DAV3 PRO is really good (I also have it and a gpx so I could compare)”
positive

Their DeathAdder V3 Pro arrived with no problems and they love it.

“my deathadder v3 pro just arrived and ive had 0 problems and loved it.”
positive

A few hours into the newly launched DeathAdder V3 Pro, they feel it should be perfect but are still adjusting; their Corepad-equipped GPX feels more controlled, with more precise and reactive clicks.

“I just got the dav3 yesterday and put some hours into it... I don't know how to feel.”
mixed

Owns both the DeathAdder V3 Pro and the GPX and prefers the GPX for shape and coating. They notice no performance difference, but the DeathAdder needs a recharge about every two weeks versus six weeks for the GPX.

“I have both. Personally I prefer the GPX just because of the shape and coating.”
mixedshort battery life

Owns both: the DeathAdder V3 Pro with the 4K dongle feels great, but something about the Superlight's sensor feels more responsive to them at the same DPI.

“I have both and the deathadder v3 with the 4k wireless dongle feels great”
mixedgreat performance

Tried both and kept the GPX; the DeathAdder V3 Pro was too tall and bulky for them, and they don't like ergo mice.

“I had both and i chose the GPX, much more comfortable for me. The DAV3 was too tall/bulky”
negativeuncomfortable

Their GPX mice kept spinning out and had bad side buttons, while their DeathAdder V3 Pro has never spun out once, even with low lift-off distance or a dirty pad, which matters in Valorant and CS clutches.

“When with my dav3 its never happen a single time even if the lod is low or the mousepad is dirty”
positivegreat performance

Retiring their DeathAdder V3 Pro because of scroll wheel issues and the coating wearing off, though they love its shape and in-hand feel.

“I'm looking to retire my DeathAdder V3 Pro — I've been having issues with the scroll wheel”
mixeddurability issuescomfortable

A lifelong symmetrical-mouse user bought a used DeathAdder V3 Pro and found it the most comfortable mouse ever, with their aim feeling better and hand tension easing. They later tried the V4 Pro, disliked its coating, much worse clicks and odd lift-off settings, returned it and went back to the V3 Pro.

“I have never had a mouse feel this comfortable like this in my life.”

The scroll wheel on their DeathAdder V3 Pro died, and they've switched to an ATK A9 Ultra Max and won't return to Razer.

Has had 6–7 DeathAdders that all broke: their DeathAdder V3 Pro lasted 2.5 years before they gave up on it.

“i lost my patience after my DAV3P lasted 2.5 years and i bought a DAV4P and the scroll wheel lasted 6 months”

Their DeathAdder V3 Pro, used since the middle of the pandemic, is finally dying; they're considering trying something new.

“So I've had this mouse since legit like mid Pandemic and its finally dying on me”

An owner's DeathAdder V3 Pro has the known scroll wheel issue and is due a replacement.

“yeah but v3 are known for scroll issue, I have a deathadder v3pro with this problem”

Owning multiple Chinese mice without problems, a user says their DeathAdder V3 Pro was one of only two mice that gave them trouble.

“Only ones that I’ve had problems with over the years were my superlight and DAV3 Pro.”
negative

A DeathAdder V3 Pro owner was well served for two years, but the forward side button failed twice, so they upgraded.

“My Deathadder V3 Pro has served me quite well for the last couple of years”
mixeddurability issues

A semi-relaxed claw user dislikes the DeathAdder V3 Pro: its shape and weight feel like moving an oil tanker compared with their Viper.

“Razer DAV3 - I very much don't like playing with it - the shape and weight feel like I'm moving an oil tanker on my mousepad compared to a sailing boat.”

Their first real mouse, a DeathAdder V3 Pro used for a few years, now has a broken scroll wheel.

“im looking for a new mouse since my deathadder v3 pro's scroll wheel is broken.”
mixeddurability issues

With 19x11 cm hands and palm grip, they find the DeathAdder V3 Pro too small.

“now i use Razer DthV3pro but i dont like shape its too small for my fingertip”
negativeuncomfortable

The scroll wheel failed just out of warranty and Razer wouldn't fix it.

“my Razer Deathadder V3 Pro had a scroll wheel hardware issue. Razer refused to fix it or replace it”
