Razer Deathadder Essential vs Logitech G203 Lightsync - Obvious! (Gaming Mouse Comparison)
The Logitech G203 Lightsync and Razer Deathadder Essential are two budget gaming mice that cost $40 and $30 respectively. Despite this similar cheap price, they have some massive differences. In this video review I give a conclusion on whether you should buy the bigger, heavier, ergo design Deathadder Essential or the smaller, lighter, semi-ambidextrous Logitech G203 Lightsync.

2 years later still watching this awesome, comprehensive review!
Great review been looking at both in that price range. Bought the Razer Deathadder Essential after trying instore. Finger joints are more relaxed after years of trying to get used to a much smaller Corsair Harpoon mouse. Deathadder is also a joy to use for hrs in general scrolling, web browsing for my hand size.
had also Harpoon, now G305 all too small as I have larger hand. Looking for budget LARGER mouses and think will go with this. V2 costs me 10€ more, should I go with it instead?
Glad that I bought the logitech yesterday, nice vid!
is it good
@@herzy7106 yea
Same I love it
@@bkayyss good for fortnite
@@herzy7106 it's awesome
Very professional and great quality videos. Your channel is unbelievably underrated. Keep it up 🙏
Thank you, it means alot
@@Tekify what are the buttons on the side for
Terrible luck with the G203s. First one - left mouse button started glitching after 4-5 months. New replacement was worse... messed up straight out of the box. I have given up... Looking for a replacement. I use it for vector drawing (this is mild use!) That Razer is in my price range. Small... but... I don't think I will mind. I normally draw with my thumb and pinky on the mouse mat.
This is the exact video I was looking for
Tysm for this great video it helped me so much because I was going to by the razor one until I saw this and it completely changed my mine. Tysm for the like it made my day
I use a lot of mouse and g102,g203 and viper mini are the best mouse for clawgrip for medium/large hands. Better then G pro wirless,and g303 (new one). If u have like a really agressive clawgrip buy viper mini If u have claw-finger tip take g102/g203 Btw sry for my bad eng xd
Thank you for the video. I was contemplating between the exact two and this video helped a lot. I've decided to go with the Logitech.
did you liked it? im planning on buying it
@@nubloko7404 its great
I like g102's look more, but unfortunately it's too small :(
great review i wonder about the v2 version we'll see
Thanks, I'm sure the V2 is alot better but it also costs alot more
@@Tekify I also have 203 and her click is a pure poetry. I have a lot of mice but none of them has such a pleasant click as just G203 it's a pity that it does not fit to my grip
I agree the clicks are really nice on the g203, I personally can't get comfy with the g203 either
so I want to share my experience with my G102(203). I bought this mouse 1 month ago, and it only costs me 17$(i live in SE Asia). So this is the only mouse that suits my budget(under 20$). I was also interested in the Redragon M711 Cobra, but the sensor is worse than the G102, so I just bought the G102 instead. Personally, I don't like the shape of the G102, but I don't hate it either. I have 18.5 cm long hands, and I use a claw grip for this mouse, which is reasonably comfortable, but unfortunately, I can't use this mouse for longer than 2 hours, so I need to take a short break after that. The clicks feel so nice, but the right-click is a little bit lighter than the left. In Geometry Dash, especially in difficult levels, this mouse really satisfies me, the clicks feels light and accurate. Now, I will talk about the double-click issue. This issue usually happens if I raise my finger before clicking. Also, if I click in the corner of the mouse, the double click issue will most likely to happen. Fortunately, this issue only occurs when I raise my finger before clicking, clicking in the corner of the mouse, and with a medium force. I love this mouse, although I'm planning to buy a Redragon M711 FPS(upgraded version of the cobra I mentioned earlier), viper mini, or the Rexus daxa air(an alternative to Model D since it's not available in my country), 1-2 years from now. Ok, I hope you enjoy my 5 paragraph long comment about the Logitech G102/203. Sorry for making the comment to long, I'm bad at making things short and simple :P Edit: i bought the viper mini, other than the L&R clicks, the viper mini is superior in every way
thanks for the comment
You thinl Viper mini is way more precise? Im planning on buying it and the G203 was my first gaming mouse.
@@xeonn99 Precise? If you're referring to the sensor, both have a precise sensor. But G203 has lower lift off distance which is better but not a lot. Keep in mind that the G203 has a weird egg shape, it's really hit or miss. I suggest to try out both mice, if you can't try them, I think viper mini is a safer bet. Oh, and what is your hand size?
@@wurival7527 is it suitable for M size hand?
@@riq8083 it's a good claw/fingertip mouse for 18-20cm hands. But the G203 has an odd shape so i recommend you to try it before buying
Which side buttons are better for first person shooter games
during the holidays the g203 can be had for 15 dollars, thats a great sensor for the price of a high end laser mouse
bruh this video is perfect i have the g203 and looking to buy the deathadder
Great review!
Thanks
My Logitech G Pro is having severe double click issue. I prefer bigger mice and I'm stuck between getting a similar looking Logitech G203, Corsair Harpoon Pro or Razer DeathAdder Essential. Decisions...
a year later I can verify this- the g203 has the same issue. It's been double clicking for the last month, and I'm going for the Death Adder instead
To be honest it’s all down to preference and terrible is a massive overstatement, the faults you mention with the death adder essential you won’t even feel if your not a mouse enthusiast
fr
I have both mice, but even though my hand size is smaller i prefer the deathadder bc i found it super annoying that i had to start up the GHUB software every time i start up my laptop in order for my macros to be registered if not default rgb and settings will be shown
I'm pretty sure it's possible to save your settings to the mouse so you don't have to. Everyone has their own preference though anyway
@@Tekify unfortunately i’ve not been able to figure out a way yet but do post a video if you do i might get other logitech peripherals
If I remember correctly there is an option in settings to enable "on board mode". If you can't find it then maybe it's not possible on the G203
Great video, I’m going for the Logitech
I went with the deathadder I don't palm grip but my hands are big I don't think the Logitech will do it
Thanks you helped me decide on what mouse to get! I chose the Logitech G203 Lightsync!
Awesome! I hope you like it
Finally i made my choice, ty man!!!! Bless u
hey, is "logitech g102" lightsync better than raze deathadder essential
Since I have bigger hands ill probably be picking up the deathadder
Video was very helpful, unfortunately, me being me I'm more confused than before
Depends very much on your hand preference.
can you make a review on the deathadder v2
Deathadder essential or asus rog gladius II? i have checked the sizes of both mouses. Both are perfect for my hand, but which one in your opinion will last longer? My last mouse lasted for only 2 years 😔
What did you get ??

Does the Deathadder have a double click issue?
How large is large like the length of palm?
I had a g102 prodigy as a daily for 3 years I beat the hell out of it dropped it more than a few times My nephew also used it alot The right click just started to double click so i did get a new mouse For less than 20$ i guess thats not too bad Solid budget gaming mouse However if you have extra cash id go wireless g304/305
razer deathadder v2 x hyperspeed wireless or logitech g304 for gaming like valorant?
Logitech or razor which one is better? I like Logitech more
I got the Deathadder because I’m both big handed and a palm user.
Yeah idk what mice you got but my Deathadder Essential has an LOD of under 4 cards while my G203 has 14 lmao (and the fun part: I've owned 2 Essentials and 3 G203s, all the same). It might be that I'm unlucky but man, 14 cards shouldn't exist even in bad office mice
I bought g102 lightsync for 15usd few days ago. Glad that I didnt buy the deathadder essential which was available for 23usd :)
I love the logitech shape, but it's definitly not for everyone.
Hey buddy! You're in great shape! What sport do you do?
Play minecraft
Wich one is better
when a channel is underrated, you already know it will have enough info and quality you are looking for :>
I have both and i personally like deathadder, g203 dont really fit on my hand and side buttons just dont do it for me
I agree!
yeah
Is you hand big? I need to know
Yeah, it was the same for me. I have both and I prefer the sensor of the G203, but if you've got big hands (19cm from tip of middle finger to bottom of hand) and use a palm grip, then the deathadder will fit better.
@facts_talker It certainly should! Although I haven't really been doing a lot of that action any more as I've stopped sniping on Warzone and moved on to Halo!
Thanks!
Is double click issue fixed In g102
fkkkk fam, those were 2 mice i was thinking of when deciding what to get... Razer went from like 70e to 40e, and Logitech was already 40e... I was thinking a couple days and bought razer one and maaaybe it is lil bigger than i would like but serves ok
Lol bought it for 18
The razer deathadder es
Bought the G102 and G103 (alternate name for G203 in Asian market) what can I tell is the switch durability is really bad. Only lasted for 6 months for each mice and my left click started to double click. I mostly play DotA which mostly require right click and never drop the mices to the ground at all. Now I'm considering to buy the Essential as the replacement and wondering will the durability be better than the G203 or not.
How fast do you click?
How much do you click?
any update bro? did you buy the essential? Coz even I had the G102 twice, each time the left click lasted for 5-6 months then started double clicking :(
Thx for your help cuz my hands are huge and i needed a huge mouse so i bough Razer Deathadder Essential. again thanks for your help
Is it good if u are using it normally...tell me ur experience so i can buy too :)
You just personally don’t like the Razer deathadder essential. Your hands are just sweaty bro
very true, just saw the video and i knew his answer. if he makes a video called office mouse vs deathadder essential, the winner will be office mouse
good stuff
For me I can get the G203 for $15 CAD ($11 USD) Or the DeathAdder for $25 CAD ($19 USD). I am leaning towards both. Somone let me know which one I should get.
Logitech
@@yen1388 Sorry I'm a couple months late but Logitech is a lot better. I actually got the G203 and it's so nice.

g402 bro
Get the G203 Prodigy over the G203 lightsync
My g102 now double click everytime so I'm gonna buy Razer deathadder essential
It’s the Deathadder Essential of course
Just based on the comments he liked its so obvious hes biased towards the logitech g203 and i definetly still prefer the deathadder essential as well just because of its ergonomic shape
@@k.et0 this was a joke lol, so are my other comments saying the Deathadder wins
@@k.et0 ur u ok?
SOUND? SOUND? HOW IT SOUND?
what is the liftoff distance in g203 lightsync model ? did u have any issues with it?
Thanks for the review I chose the logitech
Is the deathadder built for use with the right hand?
Yes
Thank You
It wasn't your mouse mat or deathadder, it was the damn cable on the mouse mat making the sound I guess!

Hey bro how's G402 Hyperion Fury is it good
My latest video is a review, I think it's pretty good if you can get it for a low price
I bought the Logitech G203 but its not comfortable for my fat sausage finger hands. Gonna go with the Razer instead which has the hump, its more comfortable for me. This is only a personal preference as they're both good mouse's.
I use palm grip on a logitech g203 though
i have them both, love them both i do prefer the logitech over the razer, but if your on more of a budget the razer is way more worth it
Nice review but I don't understand anything
the only noticabke difference is the shape, the buttons, and the light diff. i have big hands so i chose the deathadder
How many cm?
I bought logitech g203 for 16 dolars here in Argentina, I am very happy
i was not gonna buy logitech again but since my last logi lasted for about 3 years and this video helped so ig i will again go with logitech.
Don't do it. Double click issues make the mouse unusable after a short time.
Doesn’t the Logitech G102 light sync have double click issues?
It does. Mine has and many others have it. Makes the mouse basically unusable.
@@johnwasgeht5263 yea got mine like a month back and it's kinda double clicking not really sure

Which has better sensor razer death adder essential or logitech g102?

I love the Deathadder E shape but the quality is absolute trash. Don't even waste your money on the E version.
I hate my palm when gaming.
I don’t know my grip type as I have only used really small mice (razer atheris I’m looking at you), so what should I do? (Edit: I have pretty big hands, about 7 inches in length and about 3.5-4 inches in width)
It is really hard to know until you have tried so possibly pick two different mice and send one back if you can. If that isn't possible then I would say take a chance and get something like the Roccat Burst Core (or Pro if it is within your budget). It should fit a few different hand styles and grips and you can try and see which you like. If you play multiplayer games where aim is important then a big heavy mouse like the DeathAdder isn't liked by a lot of people (especially good players), most prefer a lighter mouse. If you play games very casually then something big like the DeathAdder could be comfy. Hopefully I was some help, let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to help
iam 10 years old and i was going to go with a deathadder until i saw this vid and thank god. My friend just picked up a deathadder and instantly regretting spending 30 dollars on the mouse. Now am using a logitech g102 thanks btw X i am a big grammer nerd
I read the title I when I saw there is competition against razor death adder essential and u all ready know that for you razor death adder is worst
omg logitec is way better
Your accent is very cool
When I see the thumbnail the Logitech mouse looks like my trust mouse,it is exactly copy and paste
Ayo his mouse mat is dirty and both made noise (not very loud)

You might like it, plenty of people do
This guy just hates the Deathadder Essential. Such dramatic excuses like, "I don't like the clicking sound" , "Can't slide smoothly" , "Makes too much noise while moving." Dude it has a greater weight than logitech's mouse. Obviously you need to put some pressure. And the braided cable is without doubt better. No wonder your channel's not growing.
That might be the case, but Razer mouses in general are overhyped and overpriced ever since they were came to existence. Even Razer claims that the Essential is more like a casual gamer mouse and even the spects are not that impressive. The only reason the Essential is relevant, is because it was made by Razer. Slap another random brand name on that mouse and no one will give a damn about it. Other than that, there are plenty of mouses in the 40$-50$ price range that are much better options. I've had an older version of the Deathadder in the past and while the mouse was great, it wasn't as good as I expected from the great and mighty Razer. After a little more than 2 years later my Deathadder became unusable and I have no plans of ever buying another Razer mouse ever again. Even my cheap 8$ Logitech B100 lasted a lot longer than my Razer. I also disagree about the braided cable. I've had a lot of issues with mine, because it was always attached to something and after a while it was torn a part and I had to cut it in half.
Hello I can't speak english which mouse must be taken
If you have small hands, go for Logitech G102. If you have big hands, go for Razer Deathadder Essential. The G102 is lighter but the shape may not be comfortable for everybody. Hope you can translate this.
I translated it with the help of google translate thanks for your help
