They play about the same, so just choose the one that you like the shape of and the colors. Size,weight,gap size, and price ($5 makes a difference), are all things to consider when buying a new yoyo. Or you could do eanie, meanie,minie,mo,as you will love witch ever one you’ll choose.

Ha, a month ago, I was asking this. But I chose the Raptor. The Raptor has been claimed to be smoother than the Dv888. They both have barely any vibe, in play they play the same tricks.

Dv888 features a H-Shape while the Raptor features a nice round sharp edge butterfly shape.

But the Raptor comes in many different colors, 2 removable caps for different weight and feel, 2 extra response pads (3 in total), nice laser engraving.

If you ask around, you might find that ther Dv888 is the choice or the best but I personally think that it’s just over-rated. You can go with either, both aren’t a bad choice, just giving my opinions. Also Preinfalk and Acavando are great people to ask about this.

If i am correct (which I think I am), the Dv888 is undersized(?). The raptor is full sized. That makes a difference. under-sized and full-sized makes a really big difference when it comes to playing.

Well, when I think of full sized, I think of the PGM or Legacy that actually takes some energy to wrap your fingers across. You can easily hold the Raptor or wrap your fingers around.  
(This is what I used to think)

Yes, the Raptor is full sized but I’m just saying, that Raptor is full sized that it’s not so “big”.
