Owners are genuinely split on the DeathAdder V4 Pro. Most agree the shape is comfortable, the aim is smooth, and the build feels premium, and plenty have run it for months with no problems. But a loud, high-pitched 'ping pong ball' click and a recurring squeaky or unresponsive scroll wheel push a real share of buyers to return or replace it, and some question the price for the trouble.
35% of 66 verified owners recommend the Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro.

“given my experience with the DAV4, you can't pair it with the V3 dongle, you can only use the dongle that comes with the mouse.”
