Our Verdict
Razer Mamba Elite
Razer DeathAdder V2
The Razer Mamba Elite and the Razer DeathAdder V2 are similarly performing mice. They're almost the same size and are good for all hand sizes with every grip type, except claw or fingertip for small hands. The V2 is quite a bit lighter and has a much better and less rigid cable. It also has a higher CPI and a lower click latency. On the other hand, the Elite's mouse wheel has L/R tilt buttons, which is nice.
