Design and features

As with the rest of the DeathAdder series, the mouse is shaped for ergonomics, opting for a right-handed preference with a tilted body, it also has buttons on the left-hand side. With the dimensions of 122 x 65 x 41mm, it is an improvement over the Pro but still has plenty of space for your palm for those like me who use a claw or palm grip. With that, it's down 12.7% over the Pro dropping from 63g to 55g, and in general tweaks down most dimensions.

Compared to the Logitech Pro X Superlight 2 that we've been daily it certainly fits the hand better and feels more ergonomic to have in that shape and angle. Plus it comes in lighter by about 8g with the grip tape on top, but to our bulky hands, it doesn't seem to make that big of a difference but certainly a lot more than those over 100g standard mice. In comparison, the Razer mouse doesn't come with any grip tape but sticks to the smoothness of it all, if that's your preference.

Otherwise, the mouse is all rather stealthy and can blend in with any black mousemat. Not even the Razer logo gives out any color other than the shine of its lines. You won't find any RGB (although there is a connection/power indicator above the scroll wheel) on this mouse either since every gram matters, which might be why there is limited skate coverage underneath. It's still a lot with the top and back large pieces, and an edge around the sensor, but still a lot uncovered in between.

The scroll wheel is very low down too, you can barely see gaps through the wheel. Which is also one of the 6 programmable buttons you can reassign in Razer Synapse. Along with the two main buttons and two side buttons, which themselves are rather large and positioned well for easy and quick access they come with a satisfying click. That is the same for the main left and right buttons, containing the Optical Mouse Switches Gen-3 that are responsive and nice to click as well.

Along with that, the HyperSpeed comes with the new Focus X 26K Optical Sensor. It has a range of 100-26,000 DPI you can select from. Whilst the polling rate is at 1000Hz it is compatible with the HyperPolling Wireless Dongle allows you to raise it to 8000Hz but that is sold separately, and that's going to cost you an extra $60 on top if you want the upgrade. Which is quite a lot but unless you're in a noisy traffic-heavy area for 2.4GHz, you're not going to need it really.

Pricing

The Razer DeathAdder V3 HyperSpeed comes in at a reasonable price of just under $100, with a price of $99.99 in the US and €119.99 in Europe. It sits in the middle of the lineup and the price reflects that, with the DeathAdder V3 priced at $69.99/€79.99, and the V3 Pro at $149.99/€159.99.

That is even a comparable price to the competition. Like the Corsair M75 Air which is also $99.99, whilst the Logitech Pro X Superlight 2 jumps up to $159.99 instead. Quite the competitive choice especially knocking down to under $100 for a good competitive mouse choice in esports.

Performance

The skate dispersal underneath doesn't detriment the usage, the PTFE feet still let it glide without any hitches. There you'll find the DPI/power switch, so although you don't need the Razer Synapse software to control you won't be able to change it up. You're likely not going to get away with it either since as soon as you plug it in, the app automatically asks to be downloaded.

In weighing the mouse it does come in at 54g on our kitchen scale, with the adapter inside underneath giving it an extra 1g if you leave it in. But that might be a risky thing unless you do plan on running it wired too. In comparison with the grip tape, our Logitech weighs 62g.

With that, dialing in the mouse is pretty simple, and the customization in software is quite extensive. By changing the macro on each button and using Razer's Hypershift you can get a second layer of options. Along with the changing polling rate you can pick from although without the HyperPolling there's only 125, 500, and 1000Hz to pick from. Sensitivity offers up to 5 stages between 100-26,000 DPI for a precise range of options for each choice you want.

For calibration, there isn't too much to choose from though, as smart tracking is only available in 1 or 2mm above the surface. Then under power you can there are wireless mouse options for power saving and low power modes for setting sleep and prolonging your battery. This does last quite a while anyway, even on the highest settings for us it suggests up to 100 hours at 1000Hz, but cranking that to 8000Hz will drastically lower that to 20 hours according to Razer.

great piece of kit for any esports gamers

Finally, there are the advanced options, which offer you dynamic sensitivity ranges, it does take some getting used to but is an interesting feature. Depending on the curve you can increase the output of your mouse the faster the input, so no one sets DPI across the board, but multiplying the speeds of your hand movements. That can make it a good option for flicks and varying speeds when you need to without having to click through DPI speeds.

Conclusion

Overall the Razer DeathAdder V3 HyperSpeed is a great piece of kit for any esports gamers. If you want to be on the edge of competition, it is a strong choice to go for. One of the most lightweight options whilst still being wireless and incredibly fast it holds up well. It is unfortunate the HyperPolling dongle isn't bundled in with it, or at least pre embargo it isn't, since it is compatible, and the Pro has that option for cheaper than buying it separately.

That is compared to the competition as well, with the competitive pricing and specs it has a lot to offer. It's pretty seamless to get started and use it, as you barely feel the weight of it in your hands. As well as being ergonomic and well-designed to fit well in your palm and is ideal for those with a palm-type grip.

This article dives into how Mouse Jigglers work and why they’re essential. You'll learn about various methods, from apps to physical tools, that simulate mouse movement and prevent your computer from going idle.

Mouse Jigglers: Introduction

Whether you need to keep a presentation on screen, ensure a download completes, or stop your PC from locking, Mouse Jigglers could be the answer. We will look at how to use your phone for this purpose, as well as other gadgets and software solutions that can help. Simple in concept, these tools are invaluable for seamless computer use.

3 Best Mouse Jiggler Methods

The key pros are its ease of use and broad compatibility. On the downside, unlike software solutions, this device is a physical piece that you'll need to purchase and have on hand, which might not be as convenient for on-the-go use or those looking for a quick, cost-free solution.

Can I use my phone as a mouse jiggler?

You can use your phone as a mouse jiggler. For Android and iPhone users, the Mouse Jiggler app transforms your device into a tool to keep your PC awake, displaying a pattern of shifting stripes on the screen and emitting periodic vibrations at intervals you can customize.

However, it's important to note a few limitations. Utilizing your phone for this purpose means it's tied up and not available for regular use. More significantly, the effectiveness of mobile apps for this function is sometimes questioned. Reports from users suggest that these apps may not consistently provide the desired results.

While your phone can serve as a mouse jiggler with an appropriate app, it may not offer the reliability of dedicated mouse-jiggling hardware or software solutions. Carefully consider the reliability and necessity of this function before opting to use your mobile device for this purpose.

Why would someone use a mouse jiggler?

Mouse jigglers serve a specific but vital purpose: to prevent a computer from going into sleep mode or triggering screensavers that may interrupt processes or display inactivity. Here are some of the common scenarios where a mouse jiggler might be useful:

In this piece, we’re going to look at how to turn off mouse acceleration in Windows 10 so if you’re having issues with your cursor moving far too quickly, you’ll be able to get more control by following the steps to disable the feature.

Turning off mouse acceleration in Windows 10 is actually quite a simplistic process but the option is a little hidden. We’ll talk you through how to get to the mouse acceleration option and how you can turn it off.

If you followed all of the above steps then congratulations, you should now have turned off mouse acceleration. Your mouse movements should now feel a little more stable, but if you encounter any issues (or just don't like the feel of the new settings) simply go back and check that 'enhance pointer precision' box to restore your previous mouse acceleration settings.

If you find that these new settings aren’t to your liking, but you’re noticing your cursor is still far too fast, potentially changing your mouse DPI or overall mouse sensitivity could be a better solution.

In this article, we’re going to go through the steps for changing the dpi of your mouse but before that, we’re going to teach you what DPI actually is and how to check the DPI of your mouse so when changing, you know the baseline setting to go off.

While you are here, if you are looking for the perfect gaming mouse, then look no further than our suggestions in this article right here.

What Is Mouse DPI?

How To Change Mouse DPI Via Mouse Buttons

If you’ve got a fancy gaming mouse or just an up-to-date model, there could be a button directly on your mouse for changing DPI. This is usually situated on top of your mouse near the scroll wheel, and when pressed, should cycle through set DPI options. If you’ve got buttons galore on your mouse, you could also have two buttons related to DPI, one for upping it and one for lowering it.

To find out if your mouse has these buttons, simply check it over or head to the product page either on the manufacturer’s website or from the retailer you bought it from where it should state if you have adjustable DPI buttons.

As stated, pushing these buttons will cycle through a number of different DPI settings which is easy but you won’t completely fine-tune it to the smallest detail.

DPI stands for dots-per-second indicator and the number attached to your DPI setting relates to how many pixels per second it moves thus meaning the higher the DPI settings, the faster your cursor will be on the screen.

The advantages are aplenty when switching up your mouse’s DPI setting in situations such as playing video games, where you potentially need faster-aiming speed, or when undertaking a creative project, where a lower DPI setting will enable you to be more precise in your mouse movements.

How To Check Mouse DPI

Unfortunately, there’s no way of checking your mouse DPI through a first-party tool in Windows 10 but, there are a number of other ways you can do this, via third-party apps, your mouse’s manufacturer’s specs, and can even be done with the correct drivers installed. Let’s look at these different methods so you too can check your mouse’s current DPI setting.

How To Check Mouse DPI Via Manufacturer’s Specifications

When you’re looking to buy a mouse, you may have come across the DPI number that your mouse is capable of. If you didn’t note this down however, simply head back over to that product page or go to your mouse manufacturer’s website where you should see the specs of your model.

Now, this doesn’t give you the exact DPI that you could be experiencing out the box, but it does give you a limit that you have.

How To Check Mouse DPI Via Driver/Software Installation

A lot of gaming mice, as well as the well-known brands, should come with software in which you can check your mouse’s DPI setting. Simply head to the manufacturer’s website and see if there are any software downloads related to your mouse model. If so, download it and see if there’s a tab for checking mouse DPI. You’ll probably also need to download and install the latest drivers to get this to work. These will more than likely be located in the same place as the software.

How To Check Mouse DPI Via Microsoft Paint

You might be thinking why and how has Microsoft Paint made the cut for checking mouse DPI. Well, there’s actually a pretty neat way of finding out the mouse DPI setting you’re on with a couple of notes.

How To Change Mouse DPI

Now you know your current DPI number, let’s get to changing it with the methods we’re going to through below. There’s a few different approaches, one benefitting you gamers wanting to fine-tune your mouse from game to game, one for you familiar with Windows 10 Settings, and one for those who don’t want to mess with anything on their PC at all. Without further ado, let’s get into it.

How To Change Mouse DPI Via Windows 10 Settings

While there’s no built-in app to check your mouse DPI, you can alter it to put it in a more comfortable setting for you. Here’s how:

If you end up trying it out for a bit and not like it, just repeat the above steps and you can alter it again, it’s all about testing and making sure your DPI is perfect for whatever situation you’re in.

How To Change Mouse DPI Via In-Game Controls

If you’re a gamer, most, if not all of today’s titles come with built-in settings to adjust your mouse DPI. This is usually located in the game’s options/settings and more specifically, in-game controls. Let’s take Apex Legends for example and look at where you can adjust sensitivity in-game.

This is just the route to adjust mouse DPI in Apex Legends and wont be the exact same in all games. But, as previously mentioned, it still should be a similar process for other games which also may have more options for mouse sensitivity.

However, what owning a wireless mouse does bring is having to go through various steps to connect it to your PC rather than just plug and play.

We’re going to go through all the necessary steps for connecting a wireless mouse to your PC, as well as if you will need to purchase any additional devices to do so.

How To Connect A Wireless Mouse

All wireless mice nowadays are Bluetooth enabled, but not all come with a small adapter that you can plug directly into your PC, bridging the connection. If yours doesn’t, you’ll either need to have a PC with Bluetooth built-in or you’re going to have to buy an external Bluetooth adapter to get your wireless mouse connected.

We’d recommend an adapter like the TP-Link USB Bluetooth Adapter, which is great value and gets the job done well. You can always check out our best Bluetooth adapter recommendations right here.

If you’ve got your Bluetooth connection ready on your PC, let’s get into the steps for connecting your wireless mouse.
