Reviewer score 87%The Razer DeathAdder V2 is not for people who demand a lot of customizable hardware. Most of its buttons (with the notable exception of the left mouse button) can be assigned practically any function. The prompt to install a bunch of Razer software upon plugging in the mouse was off-putting, as was the subtle push to create a Razer ID.
