Our Verdict

Razer DeathAdder Elite

Dell Alienware AW610M

The Razer DeathAdder Elite is a slightly better gaming mouse than the Dell Alienware AW610M. It feels better built, can be used in all grip types with all but small hands, and has much lower latency. On the other hand, the AW610M can be used wired or wireless and has more RGB lighting.
