Our Verdict

Razer DeathAdder V2

ASUS ROG Spatha X

The Razer DeathAdder V2 is a wired FPS gaming mouse, and the ASUS ROG Spatha X is a wireless gaming mouse for multiple genres. The Razer is much lighter and has better quality mouse feet. It has a lower minimum lift-off distance and a lower click latency. You can also set a HyperShift button to enable a second layer of commands. On the other hand, the ASUS has a thumb and pinky rest and, despite being a wireless mouse, has a more flexible charging cable. It also has four additional side buttons.
