SteelSeries Prime Neo Noir
Score: 85/100
Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro Wireless
Score: 86/100Rankings
The Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro is a high-end wireless gaming mouse featuring a 45K DPI sensor and ultra-low 8K polling for esports performance. Its large ergonomic shape and reduced battery life at max polling are notable trade-offs. Ideal for medium-to-large-handed competitive gamers who prioritize precision and speed.
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.

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.
“the new king of wireless gaming mice”
Professional reviewers consider the DeathAdder V4 Pro a massive upgrade over its predecessor, emphasizing its best-in-class 45K DPI sensor, virtually lag-free 8K wireless, and a secure hemispherical dongle. They also commend the new Gen-4 optical switches and the ultra-light yet well-balanced 56 g chassis, though some question whether the performance gains justify the higher price.
Everyday users overwhelmingly praise the mouse's feather-light weight, long battery endurance, solid build quality, and ergonomic comfort, especially for palm and claw grips. Recurring themes include appreciation for fast, low-latency wireless performance and precise scroll behavior, while the most common complaints revolve around the relatively large size for small-handed gamers and reduced battery life at the highest polling rate.
