SteelSeries Prime Neo Noir
Score: 85/100
Razer DeathAdder V3 HyperSpeed
Score: 84/100Rankings
The SteelSeries Prime Neo Noir combines a 69 g ultra-light chassis with a TrueMove Pro sensor and premium Prestige OM switches, adding Prism RGB lighting on the scroll wheel. Its right-handed design and lack of wireless connectivity may deter some users. Best for right-handed competitive gamers who value lightweight precision.
The Razer DeathAdder V3 HyperSpeed is a 55 g wireless mouse with a 26K DPI sensor and up to 100 hours of battery life, targeting lightweight competitive play. Its lack of RGB, tilt-scroll and the need for an extra dongle for 8kHz polling are notable compromises. Best suited for claw or palm grip gamers who prioritize weight and battery endurance over extra visual features.

Professional reviewers praise the Prime Neo Noir for its esports-grade precision, citing the TrueMove Pro sensor's 1:1 tracking and tilt correction, the ultra-responsive Prestige OM switches, and the ultra-light 69 g chassis that reduces fatigue. They also commend the wired reliability and subtle RGB lighting, while noting the potential downside of the very light weight and the absence of a wireless option.
Everyday users generally appreciate the mouse's smooth, responsive feel, lightweight comfort, and the PTFE feet that glide well even without a mouse pad. Recurring criticisms focus on the 69 g weight being too light for some grip styles, the right-handed only design, lack of wireless connectivity, limited button count, and occasional cable-management issues.
“I was able to aim this one better”
“If you liked the DA V3 Pro but wanted something smaller, then I recommend giving this a look”
Professional reviewers praise the V3 HyperSpeed for its feather-light weight, strong sensor performance and long battery life, noting it excels in fast-paced FPS titles. However, they criticize the need for a separate dongle to reach 8 kHz polling, the smaller ergonomics that may reduce comfort for some, and the absence of premium features like RGB lighting and a tilt-scroll wheel.
Everyday users consistently highlight the mouse's lightness and extended battery life as major positives, often saying it improves their aiming. Recurring complaints focus on the reduced comfort due to its smaller size and the extra cost of an optional high-polling dongle, while some miss the missing RGB lighting and tilt-scroll wheel.
