Razer have introduced a brand new, tiddlier model of their standard Deathadder V2 gaming mouse at present, appropriately named the Deathadder V2 Mini. Weighing simply 62g and costing £40 / $50, this ultralight weight gaming mouse is an entire 20g lighter than the common Deathadder V2, making it a greater match for these with smaller fingers. And to actually seal the deal, Razer are additionally packing in some particular anti-slip grips to ensure it by no means leaves your hand.
You’ll have to use mentioned grips your self, thoughts, as they solely come bundled within the field as a set of tapes so that you can stick on manually at a later date. There are tapes for either side of the mouse in addition to the best and left mouse buttons, and Razer say they’ll take up sweat in addition to present additional grip. Personally, I feel it’s a disgrace they don’t come pre-applied, if just for the sake of neatness, however a minimum of you will have the choice of sticking them on later if you happen to really feel such as you want a bit extra buy on its svelte plastic chassis.
Elsewhere, the Deathadder V2 Mini may be very a lot a shrunken model of its standard huge brother. It makes use of the identical Razer-made optical switches for its essential clicker buttons, which make use of infrared gentle beams to register every click on as an alternative of bodily contact mechanisms to make them tremendous quick and responsive, and it additionally comes with Razer’s Speedflex cable to assist cut back the quantity of drag you get swishing it round your mouse mat.
You do lose two programmable buttons, although, taking its whole down to 6 as an alternative of eight, and its sensor solely reaches a most DPI of 8500 versus the common V2’s 16,000. Still, the latter is hardly a lot of a loss in my eyes (if solely since you do in actual fact want bionic eyeballs to have the ability to sustain with that sort of sensitivity speeds), and the previous ought to nonetheless provide you with loads of customisation choices to make the mouse your personal.
Best of all, although, is that low value of £40 / $50, which lastly places in the identical ballpark as my present best gaming mouse for small fingers, the Glorious Model O-. It’s nonetheless a bit of bit dearer than Razer’s different titchy gaming mouse, the ambidextrous Viper Mini, however if you happen to’ve been hankering after a right-handed mouse that doesn’t have a load of holes in it just like the Model O-, then the Deathadder V2 Mini is well-worth contemplating.
