Razer unveils the new Deathadder V4 Pro gaming mouse

The legendary DeathAdder is back, and it’s faster, lighter, and more technologically advanced than ever. Razer has just pulled the curtain on the DeathAdder V4 Pro, the latest evolution of its most iconic mouse, a nameplate that has sold over 20 million units worldwide. Developed in close collaboration with esports pros, including Counter-Strike legend Nikola “NiKo” Kovač, this new iteration is packed with next-generation tech aimed at competitive players.

The Deathadder V4 Pro has Razer’s brand-new HyperSpeed Wireless Gen-2 technology, an updated wireless protocol that, paired with a redesigned dongle, delivers an ultra-stable connection with 37% less latency than its predecessor. It enables a true 8000 Hz polling rate, matching the responsiveness previously reserved for wired connections. Despite this incredible speed, Razer is promising up to 150 hours of battery life when running at a standard 1000 Hz.

Razer is also debuting its first-ever optical scroll wheel in the V4 Pro. Purpose-built for esports, this new design promises more durability and accuracy than traditional mechanical wheels, providing steady, tactile control during intense gameplay. The mouse also features the new Razer Optical Mouse Switches Gen-4, which offer a crisp, enhanced click feel and are rated for 100 million clicks. The internal structure has been re-engineered to maintain a robust and durable feel without adding unnecessary weight, striking a balance between speed, control, and responsible manufacturing.

Under the hood, tracking is handled by the new Razer Focus Pro 45K Optical Sensor Gen-2. This sensor boasts a 45,000 max DPI, 900 IPS tracking speed, and 99.8% resolution accuracy across a wide variety of surfaces. Advanced software features like Dynamic Sensitivity and Sensitivity Matcher are also included to give competitive players more control.

All of this technology is packed into an ultra-lightweight shell, tipping the scales at just 56 grams for the black model and 57 grams for the white. The famous ergonomic shape, trusted by millions, has been meticulously refined to enhance both performance and comfort. The V4 Pro features larger PTFE feet for a smoother glide and split side buttons designed to reduce accidental clicks during frantic moments. The Deathadder V4 Pro is now available for £169.99/$169.99/€179.99
