With a saving of nearly $22, the best wireless gaming mouse you can buy right now is well worth picking up. The Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro might not look very special but it boasts a 30,000 DPI optical sensor, an 8 kHz polling rate wireless dongle, and a build quality second to none.

However, I don’t think you should buy it. Not because it’s a poor deal—far from it—but simply because there’s a better deal to be had. Well, I say deal, but it’s not technically on sale in the Prime Day event, even though it’s a few dollars cheaper than the Razer’s MSRP.

I’m talking about the DeathAdder V3 Pro’s lesser sibling, the V3 HyperSpeed. Its optical sensor isn’t as capable, rated to a peak of 26,000 DPI, and the wireless system has a polling rate of 1,000 Hz (though you can buy a separate dongle if you want the full 8 kHz rate).

But forget all about that, as few PC gamers would ever be able to tell the difference or at the very least, it’s not so cut down in specs to be significant in gaming. Truth be told, the V3 Pro is best suited to genuine professionals, whereas the V3 HyperSpeed is simply a great wireless gaming mouse that’s perfect for everyone.

I’m not a huge fan of gaming mice: I find they give me wrist and hand ache after a while and the drive to make them as lightweight as possible tends to result in them being a bit on the flimsy side of things. But when I reviewed the DeathAdder V3 HyperSpeed, I was pleasantly surprised by how robust and comfortable the whole thing felt.

The plastics attract skin grease, the buttons are loud, and the mouse wheel is a bit rubbish outside of gaming, but these are very minor issues in the grand scheme of things. Just wipe it down after a long gaming session and the mouse will last for years, and if you play with headphones, then you’ll never really notice the button noise.

Sure, the DeathAdder V3 Pro is a better wireless gaming mouse, but I’d argue that the DeathAdder V3 HyperSpeed is a better deal—not just in terms of price but in things like battery life and ease of use. The lower polling rate means you won’t need to worry about charging it all the time.

The V3 HyperSpeed is 25% cheaper than the V3 Pro but it’s absolutely not a 25% lesser gaming mouse. It’s the complete opposite in my opinion and arguably a better purchase. Why bother hunting through the Amazon Prime Day deals when you’ve already got one here?
