Our Verdict
Razer DeathAdder Elite
Mountain Makalu 67
The Mountain Makalu 67 is an excellent ultra-lightweight gaming mouse, while the Razer DeathAdder Elite is a very good wired gaming mouse. The Mountain is significantly lighter and feels sturdier. It has a more flexible cable and mouse feet that glide more smoothly. Performance-wise, it has a wider CPI range and lower click latency. It also has onboard memory, which the Razer lacks. On the other hand, the Razer allows you to adjust your CPI more precisely, and you can set a HyperShift button to enable a secondary layer of commands. Both mice are well-suited for all grip types, but neither mouse is very well-suited for small hands.
