What do the DeathAdder V3's sensor numbers mean?
Razer's Focus Pro 30K Optical Sensor goes up to 30,000 DPI. DPI sets how far the cursor travels for each inch the mouse moves. Razer rates the sensor to track movement up to 750 IPS (inches per second) and 70 G of acceleration.
Polling rate is how many times a second the mouse reports its position to your computer. What DPI and polling rate each change is covered in our guide DPI vs polling rate: which mouse number actually matters?
How big and heavy is the DeathAdder V3?
Razer lists it at 59 g, and 128 mm long, 68 mm wide and 44 mm high.
A right-handed ergonomic shell is shaped around one hand, while a symmetrical shell mirrors its outline across the centre. How the two kinds of shell compare is covered in our guide Ambidextrous vs. contoured-right mice: which hand is yours shaped for?
Weight matters when you pick the mouse up to reposition it, because then you're moving all of it through the air. How your grip and hand size fit into choosing a mouse is covered in our guide Palm, claw or fingertip: which mouse grip do you use, and does it matter?
