Razer DeathAdder V3 HyperSpeed Mouse Review

The Razer mouse lineup is vast, with literally something for everyone. One of the more popular lines is the DeathAdder. Released in February 2023, the Razer DeathAdder V3 Hyperspeed is still a staple among pros today. Coming in at £100 on the Razer store, this is no ordinary mouse. Hyperspeed Engaged An ultralight mouse has incredible response time. But what else does the mouse bring to the table? Design The DeathAdder V3 Hyperspeed isn't anything ground breaking to look at. What it does have is a sleek design, with a smooth texture finish allowing a natural grip and greater feel. Weighing 55g this mouse is one of the lightest on the market.

Razer's commitment to sustainability means that for every Sneki Snek you purchase, 10 trees will be planted. I'd say that's worth checking out. Much like this review. See what I did there?

Fear not though, if black isn't your colour, it does come in white too! Featuring a com...

Command and Conquer Let's be honest, this is another great product name from Razer. This keyboard itself boasts some amazing features too. But will it live up to the hype? Let's take a look. Design The Razer Blackwidow range covers 7 (ish) keyboards of all different qualities and features. What sets this one apart is that little OLED display on the top right of the keyboard.
