Connecting your Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro via Bluetooth takes about two minutes once you know where the pairing button is

The Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro has a small pairing button on the bottom of the mouse, next to the charging port. Press and hold this button for three seconds until the scroll wheel light starts blinking white — that means the mouse is in pairing mode. Then open your device's Bluetooth settings, find "Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro" in the list, and select it. The light will turn solid white when the connection is complete.

The whole process works the same way whether you're connecting to a Windows PC, Mac, or mobile device. The mouse remembers up to three paired devices and can switch between them, though you'll need to go back to Bluetooth settings to change which one it's actively connected to.

Key Takeaways

  • The pairing button is on the bottom of the mouse next to the charging port — hold it for three seconds until the scroll wheel blinks white.
  • Open your device's Bluetooth settings and select "Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro" from the available devices list.
  • The mouse can pair with up to three devices at once, but only connects to one at a time.
  • If pairing fails, make sure the mouse battery has charge and that no other device is actively using the mouse.

Locating the pairing button and checking battery level

Flip the mouse over and look at the bottom. You'll see the charging port (a small USB-C connector) and just to the left of it is a small recessed button. This is the pairing button. Before you start, make sure the mouse has enough battery — if the scroll wheel doesn't light up when you press the button, plug the mouse into a USB-C cable and charge it for at least 15 minutes.

The scroll wheel acts as a battery indicator when the mouse is off. If you hold the pairing button and the wheel doesn't light up at all, the battery is completely drained. Charge the mouse fully before trying again.

Putting the mouse into pairing mode

Press and hold the pairing button on the bottom of the mouse for three seconds. You don't need to press hard — a steady, gentle press works fine. After about three seconds, the scroll wheel will start blinking white. This white blinking light means the mouse is now broadcasting a Bluetooth signal and looking for a device to connect to.

The mouse stays in pairing mode for about two minutes. If the light stops blinking before you finish pairing, press the button again for three seconds to restart the process.

Pairing on Windows

Open the Windows Settings app and go to Bluetooth & devices. Make sure Bluetooth is turned on. You should see "Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro" appear in the list of available devices within a few seconds. Click on it and select "Pair." Windows will confirm the connection, and the scroll wheel light will turn solid white.

If you don't see the mouse in the list, make sure the pairing button is still being held or was just pressed. If the mouse is already paired to another device, disconnect it from that device first, then try pairing again.

Pairing on Mac

Click the Apple menu and go to System Settings, then Bluetooth. Make sure Bluetooth is on. The Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro should appear in the list of available devices. Click "Connect" next to it. The scroll wheel will turn solid white when the pairing is complete.

On Mac, you may see a prompt asking you to confirm the pairing — if so, click "Confirm" or "Connect" to finish. After that, the mouse will automatically reconnect to your Mac whenever it's turned on and in range.

Pairing on mobile devices and tablets

On iPhone, iPad, or Android, open Settings and go to Bluetooth. Turn Bluetooth on if it's not already. You'll see "Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro" in the list of available devices. Tap it to pair. The scroll wheel will turn solid white when the connection is complete.

Mobile pairing works the same way as desktop pairing, but keep in mind that the DeathAdder V2 Pro is designed for gaming on a desk or large surface. Using it on a phone or tablet is possible but not practical for most people.

Switching between paired devices

Once the mouse is paired to multiple devices, you can switch between them by going into Bluetooth settings on the device you want to use and selecting the mouse again. The mouse will disconnect from the previous device and connect to the new one. This usually takes a few seconds.

You can pair the mouse to up to three devices total. If you try to pair a fourth device, you'll need to unpair one of the existing devices first. To unpair, go to Bluetooth settings on that device, find the mouse in the list, and select "Forget" or "Unpair."

Troubleshooting connection problems

If the mouse won't pair, first check that the battery has charge by pressing the pairing button and watching for the white light. If there's no light, charge the mouse for at least 15 minutes. If the light appears but pairing still fails, restart your device's Bluetooth by turning it off and back on in Settings.

If the mouse was previously paired to another device, disconnect it there first. Sometimes a mouse will try to reconnect to its last device instead of pairing with a new one. You can also try moving closer to the device you're pairing with — Bluetooth works best within 10 to 15 feet, and walls or metal objects can interfere with the signal.

If you've tried all of this and the mouse still won't pair, try a hard reset. Hold the pairing button for 10 seconds (not three) until the scroll wheel blinks rapidly in a different pattern. Release the button, wait 10 seconds, then try pairing again from scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro wired and wireless at the same time?

No. When you plug the mouse into a USB-C cable, it switches to wired mode and disconnects from Bluetooth. Unplug the cable to go back to wireless. The mouse charges while plugged in, so you can use it wired while the battery tops up.

Why does my mouse keep disconnecting from Bluetooth?

The most common cause is a low battery. Check the scroll wheel light — if it's dim or flickering, charge the mouse. If the battery is fine, try moving closer to your device and away from other wireless devices like routers or microwaves, which can interfere with Bluetooth signals.

How long does the battery last on Bluetooth?

Razer rates the DeathAdder V2 Pro at up to 70 hours of battery life on Bluetooth, though this depends on how often the lights are on and how much you use the mouse. Charging takes about two hours from completely empty.

Can I pair the mouse to my phone and computer at the same time?

Yes, the mouse can stay paired to both devices. However, it can only connect to one device at a time. To switch, open Bluetooth settings on the device you want to use and select the mouse again.

What if the pairing button is stuck or won't click?

The button is recessed to prevent accidental presses. If it feels stuck, make sure you're pressing straight down into the recess and not at an angle. If it truly won't click after several tries, the button may be damaged and the mouse may need service.
