Our Verdict
Razer DeathAdder V2
Dell Alienware AW310M
The Razer DeathAdder V2 is a better gaming mouse than the Dell Alienware AW310M. The Razer is a wired-only model with a right-handed shape. It's significantly lighter and has mouse feet that glide more smoothly. It also has a much higher maximum CPI, a more precisely adjustable CPI, a lower lift-off distance, and much lower click latency. It also allows you to set a HyperShift button which enables a secondary layer of controls. On the other hand, the Dell only connects wirelessly with its USB receiver. It uses an AA battery and has an ambidextrous shape. It also has a thumb and pinky rest, which the Razer lacks.
