Our Verdict

Logitech M525

Razer DeathAdder V2 Mini

The Razer DeathAdder V2 Mini is a great gaming mouse, while the Logitech M525 is a good budget travel mouse. The Razer is a right-handed mouse that's much lighter and has two side buttons. It also has a broader CPI range, an adjustable set CPI, a much higher polling rate, and a much lower click latency. On the other hand, the Logitech is an ambidextrous mouse that connects wirelessly with a USB receiver and is more portable. Both mice are best-suited for a fingertip grip and will likely only be suitable for smaller hands using other grip types.
