Hey there, buds.
My Razer Deathadder Lefty mouse is fucking up. The scroll wheel is erratically dicks around when I try to use it, so I need a new mouse. I'm also a poorfag and would like to spend under $60. I don't play MOBAs or anything like that. I mostly play FPS games (Doom, Unreal Tournament, CS:GO), but my job also requires that I do video editing and music recording on the computer. So it needs to be responsive and not some piece of shit from Walmart.
My options so far are:
Another Lefty Deathadder for $54
Razer Taipan Battlefield 4 edition for $50
Razer Taipain from some shady ebay seller for $45
Steel Series Sensei Raw for $40
Any other suggestions or opinions? Thanks in advance.
reddit is where you will go
ayy lmao

I have this, a Logitech G600, and I love it. It's about $45 on Amazon right now.

OP here, thanks for the response, but I'm a lefty, so I couldn't use all of those neato side buttons.

>>322211773
Jesus fuck, I'm a lefty and I still mouse with my right
>>322211773
Ah, that's unfortunate. Sorry I couldn't help.
>>322209596
everyone knows it goes this way
all around -> g502 logitech
FPS -> M65 corsair
mmo -> razer naga
for the looks -> mamba chrome or castor myonix
wireless -> sensei steelseries (this mouse is on a whole other level, no other wireless mouse comes close)
>>322209596
>buying placebo
>>322211928
shit OP is lefty and I just recommended mouses for right-handed people, except the sensei
>>322211831
Mouse with the left, use whole numpad for controls. It's a great world to live in, man. Try it out sometime.
Cheap
Good
Enough buttons
>>322211982
Nah, it helps, man. That Steelseries Sensei Raw is wired but still seems pretty kickass. Thank you, bud
>>322211993
is one of the best I've used, but the m65 corsairs are top notch. Nothing beats that metal base
>>322211993
>>322212128
Do they make it in lefty or ambi though?
>>322212213
No. Logitech mouses are almost always right only.
>>322212243
>he wants to have acl injury by dragging the mouse at 400 dpi
top kek lad
OP here. Since most don't see the big detail here, I'm a goddamn left handed person. I'm willing to compromise and use an ambidextrous, since it seems that the lefty Deathadder (and all Deathadders for that matter) has a problem where the scroll wheel eventually dies, as do the click buttons.
The Sensei Raw is looking to be the best bet at being ambi, similar thumb buttons to deathadder, and only 40 dollars. Anyone care to give other suggestions?
>>322212462
Well. I can't advice on lefty mouse since I haven't used any of them before.
>>322209596
OP you should look up a few terms:
malfunction speed
acceleration/reverse acceleration
angle snapping/prediction
smoothing
DPI
Laser vs optical
If you can't be bothered, buy a zowie ZA series. They're ambidextrous optical mice and there's several options for size.
>>322212334
>not playing at 300 dpi
>>322212583
From what I've found there are only 2 or 3 left handed mouses. So it's definitely an ambidextrous mouse I'll have to go with.
>>322212462
go with sensei
>>322212657
I know 4 out of those 6 offhand, and I don't try to be a pro gamer by any means. I just want something that's at least descent for under 60ish dollars. Thanks for the recommendation too
>>322212334
>buying into the magical dpi buzzword
beyond what is personally comfortable to use, the mouse really doesn't matter. i found that the quality of the mousepad matters a whole heck of a lot more.
>>322212658
not that guy, but why would one play at low dpi? just curious since I've always heard about the higher, the better if you can master it
>>322212243
I'm tempted to swap my Deathadder for a MS 1.1a. We used them in school and they fit into your hand like a fucking glove. I have no idea why companies started doing all the ergonomic bullshit when they found the best design years ago.
>>322212842
what is the best mousepad then?
>>322212867
> I've always heard about the higher, the better if you can master it
fuck no
higher DPI means less accuracy per inch you move
lower dpi means more accuracy per inch you move, but it results in overall slower movement
That girl is pretty hot. Shame she was statistically likely to have raped and killed by niggers.
>>322213068
It's all about finding a good middleground for what works with your aiming AND what game you're playing. Essentially, higher DOES NOT mean better
>>322213068
>>322213163
So I got it all wrong then, lads. I play at 6-7k dpi but given that my background is as an osu player I feel comfortable that way. What do?
Found the Sensei Raw for 9 dollars cheaper for it being used. Not sure if should do
>>322213253
don't buy used shit, mouse quality decays really fast.
>>322213243
Experiment with your mouse. Most mouse manufacturers have optional software for changing DPI and shit like that. Try different ones with different sensitivities and see what works best
>>322213316
Good call, my roody poo
Also, any luck with Squaretrade? My old deathadder started fucking up within two years, so I would have liked to have that protection plan
>>322213330
but what if my current sensitivity is what works best for me? I do pretty good on fps and LoL. Currently top %1 in CoD, and almost diamond on League, I understand what you mean with the dpi thing and I even checked some pro player setting and it looks like you are right, but what about me? What do I do?
>>322211993
That rice is impeccable. What seasoning do you use?
>>322213527
If you're already in top %1 then don't change anything, chump. Don't fix what ain't broken
>>322213618
my whole life a lie man
>>322213617
Logitech newest mouse has retarded rice for sure. But they sensors they use are still the same from the MX series.
>>322213687
You got used to the lie and conquered anyway. Fuck it, keep getting diamond you stallion you
>>322213771
I'm not liking the preseason at all, not sure if I'll make diamond. The top %1 in CoD is guaranteed game after game they release, just not good enough to go pro, nor interested. Thanks for the enlightenment I guess
>>322213617
It looks retarded, but the button placement and sensor are pretty incredible. The threads on /g/ when this first came out were hilarious.
Seriously has anyone used squaretrade before? It's an extra 4 dollars. It's probably worth it, but don't know if it's trash
Buy a zowie.
leds, macros, and software ruin mice.
I really like the IMs but Ive gone through 3 MS IM3s over the past 3 years and finally decided to switch it up with a Zowie FK1 that has lasted almost a year and a half now and its fucking the smoothest mouse Ive ever used.
I've had this for 2 years, it's pretty good.
>>322213243
Lower is always better as it gives you greater accuracy. It will feel crap first, but try it for a day on a lower setting like 2000 and see if you like it. 2000 is still quite high, but it's much better than 7k.
I used to play at 4k until i lowered it to 1.2k and now i'm at 500dpi. Having to actually put effort into moving your hand is odd at first, but the extra accuracy you get is worth it.
>>322214056
Can confirm, iv gone through fucking bunch of shitty logitech and a steel series, and they all break. Got a OG zowei fk and it's been smooth sailing for years now.
>>322214249
I'm more of a palm grip so I may get the ZA11 if I don't get this Steel Sensei
>>322214317
I know this is just one persons opinion, but the sensei was the worst mouse I ever bought. Garbage experience all around except for the shape, bought the FK after the sensei, no regrets.
>>322209596
>>322214653
Shit I literally JUSt ordered that sensei off of amazon, so I may still have time to cancel the order. What did you dislike about the mouse? Every detail please
>>322214653
Yo, why didn't you like the sensei. Would really like to know before I let it ship
