The evolution of the DeathAdder Chroma, the DeathAdder Elite enhances the sensor and switch to appeal to professional and demanding gamers. For this, Razer introduces a new optical sensor called “5G” and equips its mouse with even more durable switches. What justifies the interest of this model compared to the previous version?
Razer provides continuity with its DeathAdder Elite, as it has done for several generations with its most popular mice. It’s hard to fault him for that as the DeathAdders have captured a large audience. Without evolving in form, with a comfortable grip but not necessarily suitable for everyone, this elite version is indeed at the top with its powerful optical sensor and reactive switches. Not a revolution compared to the DeathAdder Chroma, although we appreciate the two extra buttons on the top.
strong points
- Accurate and fast sensor.
- Responsive and discreet switches.
- Comfortable to hold, buttons well placed.
- Good manufacturing quality.
weak points
- Elastomer areas too small.
- No horizontal scrolling on the wheel.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices requested by all retailers for the product in the last month, with safety rules to exclude prices from stores whose VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically with imports from China).

Why change a successful team? With this V3, Razer doesn’t revolutionize its basilisk, but improves the formula a little more with a more advanced and successful RGB adjustment. Above all, the new “intelligent” free-scrolling wheel is very practical in everyday life and the mouse is even more versatile. It can not only tackle pure gaming, but also office automation. Perfect for users who want a mouse with a good grip, thoughtful design and great precision. For more lightness, however, you will have to use a different model.
