A new Faker mouse has today been announced by Razer and is available now, with a price tag just shy of £200.
Gaming hardware brand Razer has today actually announced two additions to its popular DeathAdder mice line – the Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro Faker Edition (which we’re calling the Faker mouse because it’s easier to type and search for on Google) and the Razer DeathAdder V3.
The Faker mouse has been designed in collaboration with world renowned esports player and League of Legends icon Lee ‘Faker’ Sang-Hyeok, who of course plays as a mid-laner for T1 in Korea and has won World Championships in 2013, 2015 and 2016 (and came close in 2022, with T1 losing out to DRX in the Worlds 2022 final). He has also picked up 500 wins and 2,600 kills across LCK Korean competitions and 100+ wins in international competitions.
The Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro Faker Edition features a Razer Focus Pro 30K Optical Sensor, Razer Optical Mouse Switches Gen-3, Razer HyperSpeed Wireless. The Faker mouse is upgradable to a 4,000 Hz polling rate with the Razer HyperPolling Wireless Dongle, and it continues to sport a 63g design.
The Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro Faker Edition is priced at £169.99 in the UK and is available at Razer.com, RazerStores and authorised resellers as of today (February 21st 2023), while the separate Razer DeathAdder V3 costs £69.99.
“This is a special moment for me. I’ve always dreamed of having my own mouse and now I can share it with my family, friends and fans.”

“I love the design and the performance is unparalleled,” Faker added. “Huge thanks to Razer for all their efforts and working with me on this amazing project.”
Razer said in a press release that the cult-favourite esports mouse has always been Faker’s weapon of choice, and this new mouse celebrates its long-standing friendship with the legend himself.
“We believe in creating the ultimate gaming peripherals that help esports athletes achieve victory,” added Flo Gutierrez, Director of Global Esports at Razer. “The Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro Faker Edition celebrates our long-standing friendship with Faker since 2016, giving him a version of his own favorite mouse that has accompanied his legacy as an esports legend.”
The Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro is also now available as a wired option, introducing the DeathAdder V3, which has a Razer Focus Pro 30K Optical Sensor, Optical Mouse Switches Gen-3 and 8,000 Hz HyperPolling Technology, and a weight of 59g with a speedflex cable.
