Razer DeathAdder V2Review: Performance and Features Other mice tend to make you go to the website, so that’s good, but at the same time there are a lot of different options to choose from on your first install, not all of which are applicable and I feel like that could have been clearer. Setup is as simple as plugging the mouse in, and it automatically launches the Synapse install. That’s your front two, two on the side, the scroller with two DPI buttons behind it and on the bottom of the mouse, there’s a button to let you cycle through up to 5 different profiles for when you have different configurations for different uses.
It has eight buttons that you can configure in Synapse for your ideal setup. I don’t know quite what it is, but the illumination here feels crisper than on other mice I’ve used. Powered by Razer Chroma (and customisable through Razer Synapse), the wheel and logo on the shell both look great. To round out the aesthetics, the lights on the DeathAdder V2 are sharp and crisp. It’s actual dimensions measure 127 x 61.7 x 42.7 (LxWxH). That flared front end makes the V2 wider there and the raised shell gives it a larger profile. Its footprint is roughly the same as the HyperX Pulsefire, though that mouse isn’t quite as tall.
It looks big for a mouse in its weight class, sitting comfortably as a lightweight at 82g, but that’s largely a bit of an illusion.
