better light than ever it's the razer deathadder v2 obviously a very popular
mouse but what's new with it compared to
the other Death Adder elite that was
also super popular well a few things and
I'm gonna tell you what they are very
simple blocks not too hard to get into comes a bunch of stuff you probably
don't care about unleash your true potential signature from the CEO oh my
god I can put this on my motorcycle helmet visor cool
there's a hair in there someone's been here before well immediately it feels
quite light her two other death adders
okay this is a nice looking Mouse it's
kind of matte plastic on the top with a
sort of rubberized side gnarled on the sides a bit feels pretty light I got a
scale here without the cable coming in
at 78 grams this I know the scale is not perfect it's not but relatively speaking
if that says 80-82 let's see what it
does relative to this other elite see
this box has the green inside I kind of like that more oh yeah this thing is a
trunk compared to this at least 16 grams
heavier that's pretty impressive considering the chassis is almost
identical like looking at these side-by-side the shell shape is very
similar especially on this side of the centerline the most notable differences
over here now only existing elite some
people were bothered by the way this curves out especially if you had smaller
hands so this is kind of a safer design
it's less extreme over here and this will probably be more comfortable to
more people especially those with small hands other than that I guess these dpi
buttons are kind of farther down a little more out of the way than these
ones there it's a different button design the wheel looks slightly
different there's just smaller bumps on it than this one it's not like a Logitech MX
master wheel where you can free spin it like the MX master 3s which is obviously
not even a gaming mouse it's nice because it's ratcheted at lower speeds
but then you can flick it and it'll free spin that is not going on here and you
probably you wouldn't even want it to this is just designed to easily go
through your weapons with your scroll wheel if you're the kind of person who
goes through your weapons with your scroll wheel
it doesn't feel that different there may be a little more force on it than the
last one while we're clicking things the left and right mouse clicks they're actually
different the elite used to use mechanical switches Omron switches that
were rated for about 50 million clicks the v2 though uses optical switches
which should I believe are lower latency and they're ready for 70 million clicks
and this is what they sound like no
change on the v2 is the cable actually so you already had a braided cable which
is alright it's a fine braided cable on the elite you can see the cables
slightly fatter on the v2 and that's because it uses their speed flex cable
speed flex it's very supple oh my
goodness it's it's just almost friction
list friction list the spirit of the design
here is low friction so it's not gonna drag as much when you're you know yeah
you have your low dpi setting here
that's not the only thing interacting with the table there's also the feet on
the bottom and the v2 has new-and-improved feet these standard
feet are way dragger they say in
comparison and in fact I mean it's hard to tell because this is also lighter but
it does feel a little more frictionless these are PFT e feet that's a material
that's used in non-stick pans it's used
to coat like piping and containers for corrosive chemicals because it's
nonreactive on a side by side comparison that I saw and razors own website they said that
the new one has eight buttons while the
elite had seven buttons and I don't know if I'm missing something here but it
looks like one two three four five six
seven where's the eighth button on this thing
hit me up in the comments oh what a dog
give me that speed flex cable and PFT e skates it
actually is noticeably I don't know I don't know what to attribute the
smoothness to the weight the cable or the feet but it's noticeably nicer and
of course RGB sharp so that's the
outside of the mouse but there's also some changes on the inside because this uses a new and improved sensor the Razer
focus plus sensor it has a DPI of
$20,000 per inch up from 16 K on this
peasant mouse it also has a tracking speed of 650 inches per second which is
I mean that's pretty damn fast you're gonna have to be moving your mouse at 37
miles per hour 60 kilometers an hour to exceed that it also has a 50 G
acceleration but the cool thing is that the sensor is paired with an SOC inside
which allows some cool other features like well three other cool features the
first cool feature is something called smart tracking so the sensor is self
calibrating relative to whatever surface it's on so you'll get the same
consistent lift off distance without having to calibrate the mouse every time
you set up in a different location if you go from your mouse pad to a glossy
table to something else because you know you're on the road with your mouths
gonna land parties and stuff and you don't want to mess around just because
you don't have the same battle station conditions as usual feature number two
is called asymmetric liftoff so what this is is it's a distance that
you can set in the synapse software where the mouse come turns off at a
certain distance the liftoff distance when you lift it up because again if
you're playing with a low sensitivity and you're going like this you're gonna
be lifting the mouse up a lot so you can set it to say 2 or 3 millimeters to
deactivate as we lift it but if you did not have a symmetric lift off distance
that would mean that when you put it back down it turns back on at that same
distance of say 2 or 3 millimeters but you may not want that actually because
then on its way back down it'll start reading
and when you're still kind of far away from the table and then your mouse
cursor will actually move a little bit before you Pat it back down so what you
want is asymmetric that's where it's three millimeters to kick it off the
desk but it doesn't activate again until a millimeter off the table so you're
gonna have your cursor just stay where you want to be less drift and that is
awesome and feature number three is motion sync which is basically aligning
the polling rate of the mouse and the host PC so that the information is
arriving at the same time so there's reduce input light from that it's kind
of like if I can VRR for polling rate that a stretch and
finally the other thing that is different about this mouse is onboard
memory again because the soc previous elite had no onboard memory so that
meant that you have to always install the Razer synapse software which you may
not want because it's kind of annoying and clunky with this you can have up to
five profiles saved on device so yeah you just setup the synapse software once
when you first get it and you can change the lighting profiles and even macros
and all stuff like that then you save that profile onto the mouse so you don't
have to open up that software anymore
you can even uninstall it for a time and then you can bring your mouse to other
places and tournaments and your profiles will show on there but if you want to
adjust the lighting and add new macros you're gonna have to install that software again if you're into RGB stuff
this is of course in the ecosystem of Razer chroma which means it can sync
with all your other peripherals all your other Razer stuff your keyboard all the
lights in sync together and of course with Philips hue so you could be
watching a movie or playing a game and you're there Mouse lighting will sync up
with that too insane what a world what a time to be
alive
I'm yes oh my god it has to you're right
nd you're genius we found the eighth button it's the
profile selection button on the bottom of the mouse I'll allow it
I'll allow it so should you get the v2 particularly sure you get it if you
already have an elite Oh God I would say yeah if you don't mind this
$69.99 price tag nice it's a worthy
upgrade it's you know 20 grams lighter that's significant especially if you're
the type of person who stopped using elite because it was too heavy relative
to all the other much lighter wired mice that exist today if you wanted to love
the Death Adder but the feeling wasn't good in your hand because of the the
shape especially if you have small hands then then this is this is great
especially if you're a palm grip player I mean it'll work for claw grips and
fingertip you people as well but I think
give this a feel give it a lift see if you like it it might be worth it it
might be your next Mouse so thanks for watching short-circuited you guys if you
liked this video give it a like if you really really liked it give it a
subscribe and be sure to stay tuned if
you guys hit us up in the comments and tell us to cover the new razor basilisk
ultimate or ultra or whatever it's called maybe we'll do that too if enough
of you yell at me see you next time
