okay confession time it's been many years since i've been how you say excited
by a razer gaming mouse but that all
changes today with the razer death adder not that
deathadder v2 mini everyone's always
talking about like oh where's my left-handed mouse for left-handed gamers
or where's my you know uh many button mouse for mmo
gamers where's my teeny tiny little mouse for
gamers with teeny tiny hands razer has finally answered that question
so they sent over both the v2 mini and the regular v2 for
me to try it out and see if this is the solution to my
ergonomic woes 62 grams ultra lightweight ergonomic
design a little less impressive when we consider that it's just
smaller 8 500 dpi optical sensor for precise tracking sure okay
speed flex cable for minimal drag and fluid swipes
onboard memory profile razer optical mouse switch for
actuation at the speed of light and included mouse grip tape
according to well the box anyway
these features are all oh maybe the same
do i not get the eight programmable buttons it says the world's best gaming mouse
now mini it better be the same mouse it better be just as good there's no green
accent on the scroll wheel there's a comparison with the full-size
one on the side of the box they didn't have to send me a full-size
one i could have just looked at the comparison wow all right then
actually i'm gonna need that one second
action
wow so this is what they call their
speedflex cable hey to me it just looks like
an ill-fitted braided sleeve i wonder
why they feel there's an advantage to that
i guess it probably does make the just like rubber coated cable inside a little
bit more true to its natural flexiness but
it also makes the whole thing quite a lot thicker i mean i realize your thing is snakes
but your mouse cord doesn't have to look like it ate a small rodent you know
let's look at the death adder for first class citizens
well they both got the same weird cable right out of the gate
that is really small i mean
okay does that look does that look really small does that look unnatural
brandon no that looks like okay how about now
compared to this does does it look a little small
it's like little baby one
uh yeah yeah i suppose so it also seems
to have been downgraded in a couple of key ways here let's take a closer look at it
get some water lttstore.com we got 40 ounce bottles now
the stealth ones i think are almost all out but the other colors we've still got
enough pink hasn't been particularly popular no
idea why you know what is popular though our sponsor for this video private internet

today down on the bottom we got our slippy patama jigs here
all right over on the side we've got our
forward and back buttons switches don't seem to be uh don't seem
to have a consistent sound
no it seems to just have to do with the shape of the housing okay got a single
button up here that gives us a total of one two three four five six buttons
where's the eight on this one one two three four five six
seven wait a minute these aren't even close
i didn't even realize the death adder v2 is a 20
000 dpi mouse the mini doesn't even have
RGB on the razer logo left and right clicks feel okay maybe a
touch hollow no i would say they're very very similar to the full size death
adder and any difference could be attributed to just the
uh the decrease in leverage due to the length of the buttons up here
middle click feels nice and clicky and this button's
a little softer but still feels like a nice nice quality click
another area they cheaped out though is the coating on the side
so the regular death adder has kind of like a rubberized
uh kind of textured grip whereas the deathadder mini
v2 so the regular deathheader v2 does not it's just
just plastic actually it also feels like there's a rubberized finish on these
side buttons here whereas the v2 is just plastic again interesting the v2
mini consumes half as much power let's throw a gaming
laptop into this and see if it holds up congratulations on getting your
deathadder v2 mini connected good job
you plugged it in all right tell you what razer we'll install your driver
gotta restart oh my god
so razor death adder mini v2 what is hypershift
hypershift all right set to 1000 hertz
out of the box oh i lied hey there is RGB lighting
nice still has fewer zones than the other one
i'm still second class but that's pretty good that's pretty bright it's vibrant
i like it calibration
to add a surface why is the LTT pad not
in here i challenge you razer to have the LTT
pad in here when we release it all right let's play some video games
you know i might kind of like the size
interesting it felt kind of like you know those uh bluetooth travel mice
it had that kind of vibe at first for me but when i stopped thinking about it
i didn't notice that at all it's just pretty natural for me to use
i still think for most adults it's going to be a little on the small side still
even if you have really small hands but this is the kind of thing that would be
perfect to get for like a pre-adolescent gamer for example
this is feeling pretty good like i am
i am flicking from opponent to opponent here real comfortable styles
yeah it's really light light in a way that a larger mouse just
can't be because it just you know has more material and all that
i kind of like it uh wired mice are kind
of dead to me at this point now that i've switched to a g pro wireless at home but like i don't
know i don't know what i was expecting we can try the uh
we can try the full size one when i initially put my hand on the mini i was
like oh this feels tiny this feels ridiculous but now i put my hands on the big one
i'm like this is clearly designed for someone with hands
you know 30 bigger than mine
yeah like this feels like i don't know like i meant to eat a hot dog and i
i accidentally you know grabbed a smoky you know so you're still a second class
citizen you don't get the grippy sides or anything like that
honestly i don't really even feel like i need them that much though because the mouse is so freaking light
so bottom line is if you got small hands
like dang this ain't a bad route to go is it
