While early feedback and validation informed us that the mouse would only make sense in Asia, we ran a poll last week to gauge the demand for the DeathAdder V2 Mini for a second time as we recognize that many of you in this community would still want this to be made available in their own regions.

Is the DA V2 Mini ever going to be available in my region?
The quick answer is – yes! We heard you guys from the poll last week and decided to make this available for the rest of the world. More details to be shared soon. Most importantly, we wanted to ensure that those who intend to get the mouse wouldn’t have to spend more just to ship it from China.

So do stay with us and continue to share your feedback on what you’d like to see next. Who knows? If you guys wish for something long enough (Ehem.. the summoning ritual..), it might just happen? 😉

Until then, stay home and stay safe!

Less of a PSA, more of a rant.

TLDR: This sub is too pro-light mouse and says it's better, which steers away beginners from a good mouse pick.

I am also open to CONSTRUCTIVE criticism.

Mouse weight is a preference. I looked at this sub to find some help with a mouse, and everyone was saying light is better. But you know what? IT'S PERSONAL PREFERENCE! You want to find what suits you? Don't follow guides, go to a electronics store, and try the mice there. See what suits you. I see to many people saying light mic are better. But there are pros and cons too.

(Keep in mind, some of these are subjective)

Light mice Pros

• Easier movement(in some aspects, such as flicking, and large movements)

• Easier to find nowadays than heavy mice

• Less strain on the hand

Cons

• Harder micromovement

• Sometimes worse build quality (not major, but important for some people)

• Hard to find light mice for palm grip or large hands

Heavy mice Pros

• Micromovements easier

• Easier to find mice for palm grip or large hands

• Sometimes better build quality (again, not major, but important for some people)

• More comfortable for everyday use(not gaming)

Cons

• Large movements are harder

• More strain on the hand

• Harder to find a mouse that's right for you(these days)

These are pros and cons I can list of the top of my head

It is up to personal preference if you use a light mouse or no, but this subreddit needs to stop pretending that light mice are just better. I (personally) use the ironclaw RGB(wired) which is 105 grams, and i would switch to a lighter mouse, if it wasn't for the fact that I have big hands(and the fact I use palm grip). Also, I just like a little weight. I don't want to move something that feels like nothing. Some people may want that, but that's called preference.

The main issue I'm coming at is that this sub says light mice are better, where this throws off beginners. I don't support either side, I just want people to make a good choice, which is hard, since a lot of beginners come here, and this sub is so pro-light(may I say fascistly pro-light), it steers some beginners from the right choice for them. I want this to change, and for this sub to be more neutral.

Please correct, argue or discuss this/with me (constructively)

Hello All,

I had a pleasure of working with many of you from OCN from back with our Classic Ergo / Tournament Pro / And S1 mice. As many of you know we are moving away from mice as a company and I for one will be stepping out of my role. I dont expect to get any good responses but I thought a farewell was in order.

PS. You guys will really enjoy the INFINITYSKIN, they are more profound than the honeycomb implementation by a long shot. Wait until you see your aim results.

Farewell, Jude

Hello Everyone!

I wanted to share my very first attempt at a custom mouse paint job. This was a project I was really excited about, and it's my first time trying anything like this.

My base was this pink Delux M800 Ultra (as you can see in the original image search screenshot I've included). I really liked the shape, but wanted to create something unique.

Since I was completely new to this, I relied heavily on resources to make sure I didn't mess it up. A huge thank you to this community and the countless YouTube tutorials for the initial inspiration and research.

For the actual painting process, I consulted with a generative AI assistant to plan out every step. I followed the exact method we discussed beforehand, especially regarding how to apply the spray paint and layer everything properly. I'm actually quite pleased with how it turned out, considering it was my first time.

What do you think of the final look? I'd love any feedback or tips from the veterans here for my next attempt! This was a fun and rewarding experience, and I'm definitely hooked on customizing now.

P.S. I am from Japan, so I also used AI to help me write this post in English. I hope it reads well!

(First post got downvote botted)

Since the launch of the Razer Viper Ultimate Quartz & Mercury Edition, there have been many questions around optical switches that the team and myself tried to answer, but is likely too all over the place, so I figured ill try and sum everything up here.

While we received some amazing feedback on our optical switches, there has also been some feedback that our optical switches aren't as crisp as some mechanical switches (mostly here on the mousereview sub). While global return rates/overall sales isn't necessarily reflective of that sentiment, we want to cater to the most demanding of users (e.g. you). That's why we have been and are continuing to work on improving our switches.

So let's talk specifics (I'm simplifying a little in the following):

We evaluate switches on 3 dimensions: Speed, Reliability/Durability, Tactility/Acoustics. Our optical switches are outclassing everything else in both speed and reliability (we can dive deeper on this another time, but suffice to say double clicks are physically impossible with no need for debounce and the end-to-end latency for a click beats mechanical giving you split-second advantages).

When it comes to tactility, there is multiple factors that play into it. (Pre/post) travel, actuation force, springback force (the three combined become what we call click ratio) and for all of these individual factors consistency between them. These are all affected by both the switch and the mechanical design of the mouse itself.

We've decided that even though tactility was still an area for possible improvement the other 2 factors are more crucial as eliminating doubleclicks in particular was important as it is literally making mice unusable.

So where are we with Optical Switches now:

Since we first launched them on the Viper we made several small improvements both on the switch and on the mechanical design of our more recent launches, which is why every model will feel a bit different than previous mice.

The improvements were to reduce tolerance for pre/post travel, increase springback force (making them less "mushy") and through more stringent sorting bring more consistency in both those areas, as well, while actuation force itself went mostly unchanged.

Important to note here that the reduced tolerances and stringent sorting primarily reduces the amount of bad units, as opposed to making the good ones better.

These changes have been rolled out to most of our mice including already launched models (like the black Razer Viper Ultimate).

How can you make sure you buy one with all improvements?

Not really possible nor needed. The changes were small improvements rolled out over time and the key is really just to get a feel for the clicks and see if they're decent and not worry about the rest.

If you want to increase your chances, buying direct or failing that from fast-selling Onliners is likely your best bet as they turn around inventory the fastest and thus are most likely to have newer production batches.

That being said, we're not done yet, either. So 3 or 6 months from now there may be improvements yet again, as we're continuing to finetune the switches, the designs and production tolerances with all the feedback we get.

When should you return your mouse?

If it's faulty. If you get loud creaking or scratching sound. If during normal use, the buttons wobble affecting your gameplay.

You should not return it because it's less crisp than mechanical.

What else can you do?

Two things:

Keep your feedback coming, but also be precise. Telling us "your buttons suck" doesnt help us. Describe your feedback as detailed as possible and let us hear about it. Also let us know if you feel like the improvements we made are good.

If you see questions around any of the above, link them to this thread (which will likely turn into a complaint thread, but that's ok. It helps us get better).

Hopefully this sheds some light on everything. Rest assured, we're here to listen and not downplay or dismiss feedback. And we aren't avoiding the "difficult questions". The difficult questions are what makes this sub so interesting.

You guys need anything ping /u/razerbenz /u/razer_thefiend or myself.

As some of you may have noticed, the DeathAdder V2 Mini was recently made available in China where it was designed specifically to cater towards the Asian market. This decision was made when we couldn’t get a common consensus around it's size when tested across a large sample of users worldwide (including some of the enthusiasts from this community), but we did see a huge demand for this in China/Asia.

That’s not to say that we did not consider the possibility of rolling this out for the rest of the world. As such, we’d love if you could help us out with this poll for our team to re-assess the level of interest for this mouse, if we were to make this available globally.

For quick reference, here’s a size comparison between the DA V2 Mini and the DA V2.

Hi. It is me again.

Mouse: Gravastar M1 Pro Mousepad: Cherry with original Fnatic CS team signatures. Prasented exclusively for my by Cherry company.

So I just finished mod. Tried in game a couple of hours and can say: " That is what I wanted". Even better than Venom.

Wheel created by me too.

Exclusively for this mod I created spider. Wanted put inside shell but now dont want because it is extra weight

Dont want write many blabla bla. Just wanted to show you. Later will create short video. Ask if you have a questions

This gunk forms up on the areas I click the most, I have to clean it every day, any idea on how to stop this?

This is absolutely false. Basically they have no idea how to test latency and they have 0 knowledge about how to make a gaming mouse.

Anyone know why my mouse moves by itself when pointed at the ceiling?

No dongle for the mouse so we made it wired only and cut out everything. New switches and skates come in a few days then we have a complete mod

I kept seeing people in this subreddit saying that USB polling rate of 4k is placebo. I assure you after going to my first 4k mouse and using it for a little over a month now it 100% makes a difference.

My rail and lightning gun accuracy (since these are the aim heavy ones) has increased significantly. It just overall feels better like it can track the micromovements better so there's more consistency hence higher accuracy. My rail on average is in the mid-high 60s and that's with an average of 60ping.

Yesterday I had accidently left the mouse set to 1000hz and it felt ok but didn't feel quite right, so I went and checked and set it to 4k and it's like I couldn't miss with the rail. Sure you can argue that after a month of playing on 4k I'm used to that mechanic now over 1000hz but I can just tell the consistency of landing shots more often and getting overall higher accuracy.

The main game I play is Quake Live which I play at 250 FPS (max) and 280 Hz refresh rate monitor. Went from a model d-\xm2we to a lamzu thorn.

For reference, also upgraded to Windows 11 from Windows 10 in preparation for the new mouse since Windows 11 released improved USB polling rate handling. CPU: 5900x GPU: 3070Ti DPI: 800

What are you guys experiencing with higher than 1000hz polling rate? Has anyone tried 8k, how's that compare to 4k? Anyone here still can't tell a difference, if so what's your OS version and system specs?

EDIT:

I'm getting downvoted to hell here. My follow up question to you is what are your specs and do you have first hand experience or just regurgitating the notion around here?

At the end of the day if I want to stick with the word 'placebo' and disregard the technicality of any gains via 4k polling rate then I guess it doesn't matter WHY my accuracy improved. The fact that the mouse has 4k has allowed the placebo effect to propagate into my feeble human brain and has systematically improved my accuracy is all that matters.

The facts: my aim accuracy has improved. placebo or not.

I can't be bothered with mice anymore so i'm letting go of my mouse collection for cheap and getting a nice controller instead, they're better anyway.

I won't be on here anymore but instead on r/ControllerReview

See ya folks!
