Our Verdict

Razer DeathAdder Elite

Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro

The Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro is in the same family as the Razer DeathAdder Elite, but it’s more recent and performs better overall. The Pro has wireless connectivity, and you can pair it with up to two devices at once. Compared to the Elite, it’s slightly lighter, has a better cable, and a significantly lower click latency. However, the Elite, which is wired-only, lets you adjust its CPI much more precisely and has a lower lift-off distance.
