Which is better for competitive FPS?

The DeathAdder V3. It is lighter at 59 g, has a higher-resolution 30,000 DPI sensor with Motion Sync, and optical switches with a 1,000 Hz polling rate.

Is the Monoprice worth it over the Razer?

If wireless matters most, yes. It costs $29.99 versus $63.98 at Best Buy as of November 8, 2026, and still gives you a 16,000 DPI PixArt sensor and Omron switches.

The DeathAdder V3 is the safer bet. Its optical switches avoid the double-click wear that mechanical Omron switches can develop, and it has no battery to degrade.

Does the Monoprice work with a Mac?

Yes. It lists macOS, Windows XP and Windows 2000 support, plus docked Steam Deck play. The DeathAdder V3 lists Windows only.

Which is better for small hands?

The DeathAdder V3 is listed for medium or larger hands, so it is not the pick for small hands. The Monoprice is a standard ambidextrous-style shape without a size restriction listed.
