Our Verdict

Razer DeathAdder Elite

Corsair GLAIVE PRO

The Razer DeathAdder Elite and the Corsair GLAIVE PRO are both great wired gaming mice. The Razer weighs less, has more programmable buttons, and a lower lift-off distance. On the other hand, the Corsair has a wider CPI range, a lower click latency, and is fully compatible with Windows and macOS. The Corsair is better suited for claw grip for all hand sizes, while the Razer is best for all hand sizes with a palm grip.
