Our Verdict
Razer DeathAdder Elite
Corsair M65 PRO RGB
The Razer DeathAdder Elite and the Corsair M65 PRO RGB are comparable FPS gaming mice. The Razer is much lighter, has smoother-gliding mouse feet, and a higher maximum CPI. Unfortunately, its software is only compatible with Windows. On the other hand, the Corsair feels much sturdier, has an extra side button, a lower click latency, onboard memory, and software compatible with Windows and macOS. Both mice are well-suited for all grip types, though the Razer is better suited for larger hands, while the Corsair is a bit better suited for smaller hands.
