yup i was considering that too, but then DA V2X has like significantly higher weight, slightly order sensor and also it has a replacable cell instead of a rechargable battery, so ig DA V3 wired is just better because not being wireless isnt an issue for me

The Deathadder V3 actually has lower click latency than the Superlight 2. You won't notice a difference in terms of sensor performance. Use whichever one has a more comfortable shape to you.

Very good price for an excellent mouse, very low click latency, 8khz polling, and 3950 sensor.

Favorite mouse I've owned since the DeathAdder OG. Light, very fast, nice switches. Cord is light and flows nicely so it's never gotten in the way for me unless it gets caught on something on my desk, big upgrade from their old cords. Would recommend for this price if you're looking for a new mouse, especially if you already know you like the DeathAdder shape

It is an amazing mouse for the money, especially if you find it on sale. One thing to watch out for is outdated firmware, which for some bizarre reason isn't updated with Synapse. I thought my mouse cable was defective because nearly every time I lifted the mouse a certain distance or turned it over it would disconnect for a split second. After some googling, I found out this was a common issue and that the DaV3 firmware updater is a stand alone download from the Razer website. Updating the firmware fixed the issue for me.

I know this is a late reply but the disconnecting issue eventually started up again. The firmware update helped for a while but the issue slowly got worse over time. After some more research I found a largely ignored comment on the Razer support forums claiming that it is a driver conflict with the generic Windows mouse driver, and that uninstalling the generic one fixed the issue permanently. Having tried it myself, I think they're 100% correct. You just go into Windows settings and search for device manager. Open device manager and click the little chevron style arrow on front of "mice and other pointing devices". If you see anything listed like "generic mouse" or "HID compatible mouse" in addition to the actual deathadder v3, click on it to select it and then right click and select "uninstall device".

Deathadder v3 wired. I personally use an aggressive claw grip on this mouse but people might find it to be too big. Wire doesn’t bother me, I use the pulsar micro bungee mounted behind my monitor. I also got it for $37 USD. Got all the latest tech and light as hell.

VXE Mad R is not suitable for palm grip so I don’t think you should go for it. The Razer Deathadder v3 wired would probably be your best choice here.
