come on I totally had him stupid thing
must be broken oh darn it now I need a new
mouse but after some deep introspection
I think it's worth at least considering that this could be a skill issue and it
might not be worth spending a $100 or more on something like this razor Death
Adder just so that I can miss heads in Counterstrike and why should I when our
Labs team found these mice on AliExpress press that look like they are fresh out
of the cloning tubes but at less than half or even just a quarter of the price
with brandname pixart sensors there is a
solid chance then that these are good enough for my mediocre skills that is
assuming that they aren't lying these could save me and you a lot of money but
as we discovered you can't just go around buying any cheap Mouse while they
might look the same sometimes beauty is
only skin deep unlike our beautiful

first glance there really is not a lot to differentiate these mice apart from
their colors our clones even went as far as to use similar molding techniques you
can actually see they' we've got a parting line right along this curved Edge just like our brand name option but
if we look closely we find that while our $40 metap Panda P1 Pro and this $20
attack shark R1 are basically identical
to each other their molds do slightly
differ from our Death Adder V3 hypers speed look for example at the main
buttons on the razor the bottom Edge is
a straight line on our clones there's a
gentle Arc moving on to the side buttons on our clones they're a little smaller a
little higher up and they sit a little more proud of the body all of which is
fine though I did find that the Razer positioning felt a little more natural
for my thumb the scroll wheels are nearly identical but Razer has a nice
little broken up texture here that helps you get a little bit more grip now let's
flip them over razor stuck a combined power and DPI button on the bottom of
their Mouse while the Clones moved the DPI selection up to the top which I
actually prefer leaving only Power and connectivity
controls on the bottom actually this is one spot where the Clones aren't
physically identical they clearly use the exact same mold still but their
power switches are in different orientations both of our clones include
blueooth something that razor skipped out on on this iteration of the Death
Adder in spite of its much higher price while we've got these things flipped
over let's get some feet picks no not those feet the Death Adder
has these chunk honky PTFE hooves that Glide smoothly over our wow desk pad now
in seven different sizes on LTT Store.com by the way each at the same
fair price the pandas and the sharks
fins meanwhile are more dainty Although
our Labs team found that in our still in beta friction test their real world
performance was actually similar or even better than the razor now we would have
tested the friction of one more Mouse's feet but there was this whole thing with
the wrong batteries and things got a little explody anyway stay tuned
friction tests coming soon TM in any case the mouse that's conspicuously
missing from our story so far is razer's wired only Death Adder essential with
its more exaggerated styling that threads the needle between our two
clones at about $30 it honestly feels cheaper than any
of the other mice even the ones that don't cost as much but it just would
have felt wrong to exclude razer's own
lowcost options from this little Roundup now before we talk about the guts I want
to see if any of the differences between these mice are immediately noticeable to
an admittedly mediocre gamer starting
with a f test uh yep the essential
really just I don't know what it is even with this texture on the side it just
doesn't feel as easy to lift how is a Wired Mouse this much heavier than all
these Wireless ones also on the heavier side is the panda both the attack shark
and and the razor hypers speed are noticeably lighter maybe should have
laid off the bamboo as for the main buttons honestly there's not really much
to differentiate these if I had to pick a favorite would actually be the panda
the other two feel okay and for the side
buttons I got to give the edge to Razer and believe it or not that goes for the
durability rating of the switches too Razer and the panda are rated for 80
million clicks on their top buttons while that goes down to 20 million and
just 10 million for the attack shark and the essential respectively all four of
our mice use different pixart sensors with the razor units using tweaked razor
exclusive variants and our two clones dropping the act of being the same thing
the panda looks a little bit better on paper thanks to its pixart
3395 but the attack shark should still
be reasonable but enough just looking at
them let's game and see if I can feel a difference it's nice and light I got
them couple times what can I say this thing feels great come
on what oh my God it dumped me out of the
game to prompt me to install my stupid Razer software all right well that's a
dubious honor Razer is the only one that successfully got me killed so far let's
step down to the panda obviously we're going to be using it in 2.4 GHz mode
little bit of a misnomer given that Bluetooth is also 2.4 GHz but hey
whatever you know I got to say I'm pretty impressed with this thing so far
now that I'm actually gaming on it it is quite a bit heavier than the Death Adder
but the way that they've distributed the weight still makes it feel considerably
lighter than the attack shark for me feels
great heavier I can feel the strain but
they've done a pretty good job with the weight distribution and it still I think
is going to be better than the attach shark even if the razor felt noticeably
lighter once I was actually gaming on it speaking of the attack shark let's give
her a chance one thing I can tell you for sure already Jordan is that there is
no way on this green earth that I would go and buy a paper weight like this
thing when this exists I it's so
heavy oh someone went by right oh
boy what how much is this mouse again though 20 bucks 20 bucks dude if you
could get a mouse like this for 20 bucks when I was a kid I would have been
freaking thrilled for 20 bucks it feels
great I realistically don't think that I can tell the difference between any of
these especially considering that I haven't even dialed the DPI in on any of
these mice all of them are completely usable and I would be thrilled to have
them for anywhere from 20 to 40 bucks which I guess is an issue for the razor
hypers speed but but but there is this
one as well you can try the other Razer yeah wow it's heav heavy dude this feels
like going from a carbon badminton racket to a freaking like aluminum one I
feel slow dude theoretically I'm warmed up and I should be able to like get some
guys oh come on come
on it's just so slow okay let's go back
to what should theoretically be our best option again and see if I'm just getting
worse cuz I'm like getting tired or something okay I can't complain about
the razor I know I I it feels
great okay after a second look at the panda if I had to give something The
Edge it would have to be the razor hypers speed but I don't know if that's
down to any difference in performance or latency or anything like that or if it's
just down to the difference in weight frankly they all seem like they track
just fine to me um but my Podium would
be Razer Panda shark in that
order oh is this where I get Labs results yep ah good well let's find out
if I'm right the Death Adder V3 hypers speed is in a league of its own with
sub2 millisecond latency it also
delivered Flawless tracking even at high DPI settings meaning that you can rely
on it in fast-paced shooters for high Precision tasks one Mark against it is
that if you want to get full use of its 8,000 HZ pulling rate you need the hyper
pulling dongle which is another 20 or $30 depending if you get it as a bundle
okay so it's good mind you I don't know yet if the other ones are better
meanwhile the metap panda P1 Pro is impressive at its $40 price it handled
lower DPI settings well with consistent tracking during most gameplay though it
did have trouble with some very rapid movements and the latency while quite
consistent was a bit of a letdown not bad it's just not on par with some of
the best mice on the market the attack shark R1 trailed behind its almost twin
with noticeable Jitter during faster movements and less consistent latency
that can feel worse than its 10.8 milliseconds indicates the lab also
found that the attack shark had some battery life issues they think it could
be just our sample but we haven't been able to confirm that so take it under
advisement still for 20 bucks I would have a really hard time complaining
about this mouse as for our late edition
the $30 Death Adder essential well the latency is great on par with its more
expensive brother it's also 30 or 40 G
heavier though than the rest of these mice which could be a good or a bad
thing depending on your personal preference otherwise it finds itself
hanging out between the shark and Panda across the board leaning closer to one
or the other for accuracy depending on the DPI settings with its lone win being
its cable length at 170 mm so in
conclusion is it worth paying a premium for something like this maybe the
extremely low latency not to mention lightweight of a mouse like the death
ater V3 hypers speed is a big plus for the most demanding games especially for
demanding Gamers but the thing is that might not be you and it might not be me
so with that said the attack shark it's
no slouch for the price but I still see it as more the mouse you keep in your
backpack for your laptop than the one that you would daily drive on your
desktop which I guess leaves us with the $40 metap Panda P1 Pro in our Sweet Spot
good accuracy great precision and stable
if not amazing latency even if pandas aren't as cool as sharks oh my god did
we just say that them's fighting words I didn't read the conclusion before uh
because I wanted to you know try to feel the differences but good Lord you've
started a war just don't let any Innocents be caught in the crossfire
