Razer deathadder v2 review in Spanish (full analysis)

Those of you familiar with Razer have most likely heard of the Deathadder, a mouse that became Razer's flagship and best-selling model to date. Today in Professional Review we bring you to analyze its revised version, the Razer DeathAdder V2. Will you be prepared to take the witness?

The brand of the three-headed snake is a current reference in the world of gaming and peripherals. Its keyboards, mice and headphones are among the highest performance models and present in many of the E-Sports championships.

Unboxing of Razer DeathAdder V2

The Razer Deathadder V2 comes in a box with the traditional black and green palette that is the brand of the house. Already on the cover outside the logo and model we receive two groups of outstanding benefits:

• Razer Chroma RGB Sensor Focus + 10 Million Units Sold Ergonomic Design Optical Razer Switches Speedflex Cable

On the back cover, for its part, the information is expanded by means of an infographic in which there is room for many other interesting facts about the Razer Deathadder V2:

• Eight programmable buttons Enhanced ergonomic shape Five local memory profiles Focus + optical sensor, with 20k DPI and 650 IPS Speedflex cable Razer optical switches

When we open the box we are greeted by a fine structure in which the Razer Deathadder V2 is located inside a transparent plastic mold accompanied by some additional documentation.

The total content of the box is summarized in:

Razer DeathAdder V2 Skin

The mouse in our hands has a shape and dimensions factor very similar to its original model. With a dexterous design and a weight of only 82g, the Deathadder V2 is over ten grams lighter than its predecessor.

Its upper cover is made of a single piece, so that the M1 and M2 buttons are not separated from each other. The material used in it is plastic with a slightly pearly matte finish and a grainy touch.

On both sides a change of material is noticeable. It is also plastic, but its touch is slightly rubbery and it is accompanied by an embossed pattern that expands in the lower area to facilitate grip.

As it could not be less, in the back area of ​​the hump is the traditional silkscreen of the Razer imageist with his three-headed serpent. This logo constitutes the second RGB backlight zone.

We went to turn the Razer Deathadder V2 around and here we see that the trend of Teflon surfers are here to stay. We have a total of three sliders and the material proves to be thicker and softer to the touch.

Right in the central area is where we appreciate in addition to the Focus sensor + the button to switch from one profile to another within the internal memory of the Razer Deathadder V2. The rest of the screen printed information consists of seals and certificates of quality, model and serial number in addition to the voltage (5V / 200mA).

Switches and buttons

M1 and M2, the middle mouse buttons, have a trigger point that begins at the height of the DPI buttons. They have a light click that requires little activation force and has a medium loudness.

It is on the left side where we find the two auxiliary buttons that also come in handy for shortcuts. Both are made of a material similar to that of the cover, although somewhat less rough. Their edges are shiny while the flat surface has a matte finish. Between the two there is a depression that is easily noticeable at the tactile level that helps us differentiate them.

The scroll wheel of the Razer Deathadder V2 is included within the central structure that also has the buttons to increase and decrease the percentage of DPI. As we are used to, it features a non-slip rubber fluted texture and two rings on both sides for RGB lighting.

Pulsing the wheel produces a pleasant, smooth click with a similar loudness to the M1 and M2. However, the Scroll does not have lateral keystrokes for direction, only central.

The wire

The great point to note about the cable in the Deathadder review is that the sheath material is no longer fiber braided, but Speedflex. This format is much more flexible and light than fiber. Consequence? A much reduced friction and drag sensation that will delight players faster.

The Razer Deathadder V2's cable is not far behind compared to what the mouse itself is. From the outset, it comes presented with a rubber strap that we can keep for transport and has a generous 210cm length.

The USB type A input port comes covered with a protector that we can also save for use in transport and avoid scratches and dirt. Both this connection point and the mouse have a PVC reinforcement to protect it against jerks and sudden movements.

Putting Razer DeathAdder V2 into use

It is time to give the Razer Deathadder V2 a little heat and see how it performs, how it responds and those things that we like so much. We tell you.

Ergonomics

Like the previous model, the Deathadder V2 has a dexterous form factor and dimensions of 12.0mm (length), 61.7mm (width) and 42.7mm (height). The narrowing that occurs in its central area favors an improved grip curvature for the thumb (left) and ring and little fingers (right).

The index and heart find in M1 and M2 a silhouette described in the most advanced area of ​​the buttons that describes a slight concave curve where the fingers fit naturally without hardly noticing.

In terms of ergonomics, the Razer Deathadder V2 is a very versatile mouse. We generally use the claw grip to play and we must say that the fact that the cover piece is unique for both buttons transmits a certain amplitude in the pulsation. The hump present in this model is slightly advanced with respect to its center and has a more notable elevation on the left side, which causes it to fit very well in the hollow of our palm.

Our hands are not especially large and if we fully extend them our fingertips are just a few millimeters left from the ends of M1 and M2. This gives us signs that users with hands over 17cm in length and palmar grip are likely to feel that the Razer Deathadder V2 is a bit small.

We are aware that the claw grip is the most popular among gamers and given that this is the specific audience that this mouse model is aimed at, it seems to us a very wise decision. Our experience in games and work sessions has been 10/10.

Sensitivity, acceleration and DPI test

It is time for the sensor acceleration and sensitivity tests. The Razer Deathadder V2 arrives equipped with the Focus + optical sensor. This is the most powerful model created by Razer in collaboration with the famous PixArt company, creator of some of the most famous optical sensors in the gaming world.

The characteristics of the Focus + is that it has a percentage of 20, 000 DPI, 650 IPS and acceleration of 50G. All this makes it achieve a resolution accuracy of 99.6%, which places it in that small group of sensors that is at the peak of current performance. With premises like this, we will carry out some point-to-point tests:

• Acceleration: With a fixed acceleration of 50G, this is a factor that we are aware of causing division in users. On the one hand, there are those who consider that it “contaminates” the percentage of IPS and DPI, while others consider it a complement that streamlines movements. We move with high percentages of DPI (1, 800 approx.) And in its use we have experienced a fluid, fast handling and are setbacks. Pixel Skipping: Pixel skipping is an issue that becomes more aggressive the higher our manually set acceleration or deceleration percentage is. This issue gets worse along with a high DPI, so keep these factors in mind when calibrating your mouse with the options offered by Razer Central. Tracking: In-game target tracking is remarkably reliable. We notice a stability to the line according to the acceleration, generating a reliable aiming experience. Surface performance: We have tested both on a cloth mat and on rigid plastic models. In both cases, it should be noted that the friction generated with Teflon surfers is lower than conventional models, a factor that together with its low weight (82g) gives the Razer Deathadder V2 great lightness. To those who are in favor of your mice flying, you will find that on plastic mats this effect multiplies, although you must also watch your DPI to counteract the acceleration.

RGB lighting

The Razer Deathadder V2 is a mouse that has two backlit areas: the scroll wheel and rear imager.

The maximum illumination transmits an excellent intensity and by default connects as spectrum rotation.

To customize our Razer Deathadder V2 it will be necessary to download and install Razer Central, although it is also convenient to know that if you have other Razer devices, Synapse will allow you to synchronize specific light modes and patterns.

software

What can we tell you about Razer Central and Synapse? Along with the Corsair and Logitech sofwares it is one of our favorites given the easy accessibility of its interface and the number of options to customize available. Navigating it is simple and intuitive and our recommendation is to keep it as up to date as possible.

Remember that once you have made the configuration that you want to have in your Razer Deathadder V2 you can even uninstall the software, although if you have other devices that you have synchronized through Razer Synapse, it may stop working correctly.

Once we download and install the Razer software, we receive the view of the Razer Deathadder V2 in a main menu where we observe a scheme with the functions assigned to the buttons by default. On the left we have a configuration hamburger menu where we can customize them to our liking while on the right we see the active profile slot among which we can change to customize.

The panels between which we can navigate with Deathadder are:

• Customize: The main menu assigns functions to active buttons and profiles. Performance: Sets the sensitivity, number of DPI phases, polling rate, and mouse properties. Lighting: regulates periods of inactivity, brightness intensity and customizable effects. Calibration: Determines the intelligent tracking of the laser when we lift the mouse from the mat. We can set it to smart or manual.

Final words and conclusions about Razer DeathAdder V2

To say that Razer has broken the cord with the revision of the original Deathadder would be an understatement. Updating the sensor (Focus +) to the best model of the brand, Speedflex cable, optical switches, Teflon surfers and reduced weight (82g) are some improvements that bring the Razer Deathadder V2 to its maximum splendor.

What can further improve a mouse like this? Its price, without a doubt. The Razer Deathadder V2 is for sale for € 79.99 on its official website and from our point of view is worth every penny. Finding a professional gaming mouse with these characteristics for less than 100 euros is a challenge and in this aspect Razer has excelled to put it within the reach of more tight budgets.

It is difficult to fault, but it is possible that the touch of the cover material is not to everyone's taste. It took us a bit to get used to coming from smoother models, although we must say that the touch against sweat improves a lot. Users generally appreciate light models, but those of you who are fond of more solid or heavy models will find that the Razer Deathadder V2 may not be for you.

In short, the Deathadder V2 is a killing machine and probably the first of many surprises that 2020 will have in store for us. With a mouse like that it is a pleasure to enter the game and get involved in distributing tow, isn't it?
