With the RAM crisis looming large over the PC gaming landscape, many are reluctant to upgrade their wares anytime soon. The good news, though, is that peripherals are largely unaffected by the outrageous inflation of componentry. Some are even getting discounts, such as this: the superb Razer DeathAdder V3 HyperSpeed is just £72.99 (was £99.99) at Amazon right now.

Today's best Razer DeathAdder V3 HyperSpeed deal

However, I reckon the sweet spot between saving and actual cost lies with the V3 HyperSpeed deal above. Although it misses out on some of the top-draw features of the Pro variant, it's almost 10g lighter, so preferable for those who prize a low weight above all else.

The latest generation of the DeathAdder, the V4 Pro, is also discounted, but only by 20%, and it remains a lot more expensive than the V3 HyperSpeed. What's more, the V3 can still keep up with the current crop of gaming mice.

In my Razer DeathAdder V3 HyperSpeed review, I praised that aforementioned light build, which makes for quick and easy swiping. The large PTFE skates also provide an incredibly smooth surface for glides, while the mouse buttons offer fast yet solid clicks. The middle click feels less satisfying, but it's still up to the task.

Synapse, Razer's peripheral software, offers plenty of scope for customizing the V3. You can even alter the cursor acceleration curve and zero the angle of the mouse to match the way you hold it — tweaks that are rarely seen in other gaming mice. More elite-level tweaks are missing, though: there's no LOD adjustment, no angle-snapping, and no slam-click filter.

The shape of the DeathAdder V3 might prove divisive, too. It's designed to be ergonomic, and while I found it a natural fit for my hand, those who prefer symmetrical forms might take issue. It also lacks Bluetooth support, which means there's no way to hot-swap between multiple devices.

These are minor drawbacks in the grand scheme of things, though. The DeathAdder V3 HyperSpeed remains an excellent gaming mouse, and with this sale, there's now even more reason to catch one while you can.
