DeathAdder V3 HyperSpeed

I was leaning towards getting the Basilisk cause of the bluetooth and RGB and the V3 Hyperspeed felt like a downgrade from the V2 Pro for me.

the v3 hyperspeed is a great mouse, I have 17x10 cm hands and I love it

Agree with what people have posted. But I want to give another view. An ergo doesn't have to contain curves and humps - it just needs to support your hand comfortably. For example, the Viper V3 Pro is one of best ergonomic mice I ever used for myself. I can use that all day and not get uncomfortable. It supports the entire hand and keeps it locked in so I can use the bigger arm muscles for movement. DAV 4 and DAV 3 HS are not too far behind in terms of comfort. Really want to pick up the NP-01 Ergo one of these days. With that said, there's some great recommendations here. I'll throw out one more too. The Orbital Pathfinder. Similar to the VV3 Pro though I stumbled upon a combination that was amazingly comfortable for me (LWR 1-2-1). And if I want to use something smaller for like Arc Raiders, I'll go APH 0-2-0. Pleasantly surprised with this mouse so far. I thought it would be more gimmicky but changing the shape to what I feel like for the day is pretty nice.

Don’t even think about switching it, bro — it’s mad comfy. Only if it feels a bit big, grab the DeathAdder V3 Hyperspeed too and keep both.

Xlite V3 and DAV3 HS have the same sensor, in fact, RAZER's implementation is probably miles better, yet only for the DAV3 HS you mention old sensor, why ?

Starting sometime in 2024, probably past half 2024, RAZER made some changes and added some padding or reinforcements on the inside of the shell of the DAV3. I had a couple of late 2024 and early 2025 batch samples and they are no longer cracky at all, plus the encoder has been yet again replaced with a TTC Gold dustproof (which will probably make not much difference because it's the encoders that suck, poor materials and so on, not the maker of the mouse), but somehow a not pingy TTC Gold, as I tried like 30 samples bought from AliExpress at different times from didfferent sellers and all were pingy as fuck, noisy and annoying. So I would not worry, if they are sending you a new DAV3 it should be one of the latest batches and it should be good.

I did not check the smooth touch, it's a weird one (no firmware updates, locked with the 8k dongle) and quite expensive still, but I am sure they do not differentiate when building them, the smooth touch just gets a coating, the inner parts of the sheel should be the same as the regular base.

Honestly for the price, the sensor and the weight the hyperspeed is too good. The only gripe for me would be where do you feel most of the weight?

Honestly it’s probably the most underrated ergo mouse out there. I prefer it way more to all the ec2 clones. I bought it along with the medium xlite and a few other ergos and the dav3 hs really stood out
