Graphs Description The Physical Characteristics comparison is just a viewable representation of the devices' length, width, height and weight. Sensor, Latency and Other Features are, instead, computed within the range 0-->100, taking into account if the variable is getting better with the increase of its value (e.g the highest max DPI, the better it is) or vice versa (the lowest Click Latency, the better); for example, a score of 50 for both devices means they are equal, scores of 70 and 30 mean that first one better. So, the data are homogeneous to provide immediate meaning, higher bar(s) means better value(s). An empty graph means that there is not enough data to compute that comparison (one value or both are missing).

Final Vs Words

Aiding our visitors to the final choice between the mice.

This final paragraph will help you in the decision making process, between Corsair Nightsword and Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro, and in selecting the mouse that is performing better and best suits your needs. We are aware that every user has own needs and preferences, due to this each mouse could be better for some features and worse for other ones. The purpose of the text is to highlight this possibility and generate an "overall score" for a purchase decision.

First of all, both mice share the same utilization aim, Gaming mouse. The Nightsword is older, 5 years old, being released in the 2019, while the other one is younger, 2 years old, being released in the 2022. The production age difference is 3 year(s). This makes the DeathAdder V3 Pro kind of more attractive in terms of freshness.

• Dimensions, Weight, Ergonomy 📐⚖️🫳

When it comes to evaluate mice dimensions, you should take into consideration the size of your hand and check if it would properly fit it or not. In this case, you should check which mice would be the fittest. Compared to DeathAdder V3 Pro mouse, Nightsword is ~1.00 mm (or ~0.04 in) Longer, ~18.00 mm (or ~0.71 in) Wider and ~0.20 mm (or ~0.01 in) Lower, which makes it, overally, 18.8 mm (or 0.74 in) moderately bigger and better suiting greater hands.

Considering the weight, Corsair Nightsword is 47% heavier, a difference of 56.00 g (0.12 lbs), which can be considered very significant. We do not express a particular preference for heavier or lighter mice, being this a completely personal objective preference. However, Nightsword offers weight personalization (addable weights or editable shape) while DeathAdder V3 Pro does not.

Regarding the Ergonomy, both mice are meant to be used with your right hand. They offer different grip, Palm grip by Nightsword while DeathAdder V3 Pro has Palm grip, Claw grip; this last one can be considered more adaptable, with a number of grip possibilities equal to 2 instead of the 1 offered by the other one.

• Sensor and Latencies 🐭⏱️

Let's now compare Corsair Nightsword sensor with the one of Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro. The two mice share the same sensor technology, that is Optical, but different sensor model: PMW3391 equipped by Nightsword and Focus Pro 30K used by DeathAdder V3 Pro. It is very important to say that, although tech and model sometimes coincide, the assembly and composition of interior circuits might result in different specs and latencies.

Resolution, Max Acceleration and Max Tracking, Polling Rate and Lift Off
The mice offer different resolution range (DPImax - DPImin), the Nightsword provides 17600 DPI/CPI, while DeathAdder V3 Pro offers 29900 DPI/CPI, meaning that the last one has larger range. Consider picking up the one having the sensitivity range that mostly suits your needs, depending on the aim (Gaming/Business) but also the kind of game you are going to use it mostly (e.g. FPS is different than RTS or MOBA). If you need a higher precision mouse, meaning that for the same length of shift the mouse will recognize more movement, "reading" more dots per inch and, in other words, will move faster on the screen, DeathAdder V3 Pro is offering 40% better Max Resolution, 12000 More DPI/CPI.

As for the Maximum Acceleration, which measures the maximum pull force in G(s) that the sensor can trace before inconsistencies occur, DeathAdder V3 Pro shows a better value, 70 G, a moderate difference of 20 G. Going on, taking into account the Maximum Tracking Speed, the velocity (inches per second) that the mouse can move at before it starts to loose track and cause anomalies, DeathAdder V3 Pro shows a preferable value, 750 IPS, a great difference of 500 IPS. Take into account that max G and max IPS mostly affect activities requiring very fast mouse shift, together with the shift latency that we will analyse further in this section.

Nightsword has a Polling Rate of 1000 Hz, in other words it reports data to computer 1 time every 1.00 ms, while DeathAdder V3 Pro is characterized by 4000 Hz or an input every 0.25 ms, making this last one having 75% better Polling Rate. Lastly, the Lift Off distance of Nightsword shows an higher value, 2.5 mm, a great difference of 1.30 mm. Anyway, they do not offer adjustable lift off distance through software.

Click and Shift Latencies

Corsair Nightsword has higher click latency than Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro, a great difference of 9.00 ms, 74% worse Click Latency, which can be evaluated very significant, in terms of compared performance. Anyway, we feel it is important to underline that the differences in latencies are often more perceptible from the machine's point of view rather than human's, reducing the real impact of these values and deviations. At the moment there is no available data to compare the mice shift latency, since the data of Nightsword is missing. Contact us to request priority data update. However, DeathAdder V3 Pro has a shift latency of 8.86 ms which can be considered quite decent, compared to a medium quality mouse.

• Other Features 📎

Let's now have a look, finally, to the general features of the two mice. They are equipped with different Switch Technology, Nightsword has Omron while DeathAdder V3 Pro has Optical Gen-3; moreover, the lifespan of first mouse is 50 millions clicks while the second is 900 millions clicks, 44% worse Lifespan, a difference of 40 millions clicks that can be evaluated very significant. The Feet Material is better for DeathAdder V3 Pro, being this Virgin Grade PTFE. Considering the available Number of Buttons, 8 offered by first mouse and 6 offered by the second one, a small difference of 2 that can be considered important or not depending on the utilization purpose. In the end, the features offered by Corsair Nightsword are On board Memory, DPI Indicator, RGB Lighting, Customizable RGB, while Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro is giving On board Memory, DPI Indicator.
