Our Verdict
Razer DeathAdder V2
ROCCAT Kain 120 AIMO
The Razer DeathAdder V2 is a better gaming mouse than the ROCCAT Kain 120 AIMO. The Razer is lighter, and it has smoother-gliding mouse feet, more programmable buttons, and significantly lower latency. Comparatively, the ROCCAT has a lower minimum CPI, but most gamers are unlikely to need it this low. Both mice are suitable with any grip type, but people with extra-large hands may prefer the Razer for a palm grip, and people with small hands may prefer the ROCCAT for a claw or fingertip grip.
