The best gaming mouse I've ever tested is just $85 for Prime week but Jeff's going to be upset when he gets back off honeymoon to see the better Razer gaming mouse is only 98 cents more at GameStop

Razer's DeathAdder V3 HyperSpeed is the best wireless gaming mouse I've ever tested. It doesn't have the all-out specs of its sibling, the V3 Pro, but we reckon it's the best gaming mouse overall, thanks to its affordable price.

And in the Amazon Prime Day sales, you can pick one up for just $85 at Amazon. Cheers, Jeff. Only one teeny problem: you can pick up a Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro—the higher spec version of the HyperSpeed—for $85.98 at GameStop. That's just 98 cents more expensive. Oopsy.

On paper, the V3 Pro might sound like it's just too hardcore for most gamers. Its sensor boasts a maximum DPI of 30,000, along with a maximum speed and acceleration of 750 IPS and 70 G, respectively. Razer's HyperSpeed wireless dongle lets you set the polling rate all the way up to 8,000 Hz, and that one tips the scales at a mere 63 grams.

The thing is, you don't have to use it with every setting maxed out. You can easily turn down the DPI—either with the button in the base or via Razer's Synapse app—and you'll get a longer battery lifespan if you select a lower polling rate.

All that makes it a near-perfect gaming mouse, though its distinct shape means it's for right-handers only. The other fly in the ointment is the price tag, coming in normally at $150.

Well, huzzah for sales, because at two cents under $86, not only is the DeathAdder V3 Pro cheaper than it is at Amazon, but it's practically the same price as the V3 HyperSpeed. In other words, what used to be an easy choice (pick the HyperSpeed over the Pro) is still an easy choice, just the other way around (pick the Pro over the HyperSpeed).

Looks like Jeff's gonna have to go back to the drawing board on this one.

TOPICS

Nick, gaming, and computers all first met in 1981, with the love affair starting on a Sinclair ZX81 in kit form and a book on ZX Basic. He ended up becoming a physics and IT teacher, but by the late 1990s decided it was time to cut his teeth writing for a long defunct UK tech site. He went on to do the same at Madonion, helping to write the help files for 3DMark and PCMark. After a short stint working at Beyond3D.com, Nick joined Futuremark (MadOnion rebranded) full-time, as editor-in-chief for its gaming and hardware section, YouGamers. After the site shutdown, he became an engineering and computing lecturer for many years, but missed the writing bug. Cue four years at TechSpot.com and over 100 long articles on anything and everything. He freely admits to being far too obsessed with GPUs and open world grindy RPGs, but who isn't these days?
