Hey /g/, which mouse should I get: Razer DeathAdder 2013 or Logitech G502?
>>
>>51737087
Whatever isn't pick related, although it's worth mentioning the DeathAdder will serve you well for about six months before the tracking loses responsiveness.

Other options?
>>
g502
>>
>>51737104
I do not know any gaming mice at this price, but I could use some suggestions.
>>
g502 is made for dwarves
>>
DeathAdder is great
>>
>>51737104
what happens to the responsiveness?

had a deathadder black and never noticed any issues except with the coating wearing off or the braided cable fraying
>>
>>51737132
Zowie EC1-A and Zowie EC2-A are good but are near $70
>>
>>51737161
only if you are a palm grip sperglord
>>
The g502 is very nice, but depending on the way you hold it, there's a thumb button that can really be annoying. I use the fingertip grip, which works great for this mouse. Side button placement could be way better though, I only use the one closest to me to reload in FPS', the other one being too far from my thumb
>>
>>51737310
Also I feel this mouse was designed for palm grip, but having the thumb rest on a button feels horrible for me.
>>
Mionix Castor.
>>
G502

I am going to use this thread to ask this - which mouse should i get for small hands and a claw/fingertip hybrid grip? I only care about decent mouse shape and the best possible sensor. I was thinking of g303 but those rattling sensor issues kinda worry me. I have the old xornet right now but the sensor is shit and the mouse is too wide for me.
>>
>>51737087
Ordered the Mionix Naos 7000 myself, heard a lot good things about it, so I'll hope I will like it, or hopefully understand that I don't like it in two days, so I can return it before christmas
75 euros aren't really a small amount for a mouse, for me
>>
>>51738844
I have that type of handsize/grip style and I've found the Logitech G303 seems to work fine
>>
>>51737087

Both shit. Zowie EC2-A masterrace.
>>
>>51739141
Did you get a unit with that sensor issue?
>>
Are there any decent mouse under 30 bucks?

Don't need to super gaming shit. Just a wired mouse with two or more buttons on the side.

Steelseries Rival

>>51739325
In those price brackets, practically buy anything that looks decent and feels not shit
ACME offers 5 year warranty, but afaik, they're not very worldwide, might be wrong though
>>
>>51739325
just picked up an anker vertical mouse for $13. its kind of an ergo one but its surprisingly good at that price point.
>>
>>51737087
i've had two different deathadders start phantom double clicking within a year or so of purchase. pretty garbage for what they cost. haven't tried logitech yet.
>>
look at this fucking G502 render
http://gaming.logitech.com/en-us/product/g502-proteus-core-tunable-gaming-mouse
>>
>>51737087
Every Razer product I have ever used breaks within 1-2 years.

Every Logitech product I have ever used breaks every 10 years (if at all). I know people who still use their MX 518.

But I wouldn't get either, Logitech really fucked up with their gaymer campaign. But knowing someone who uses a G402, the new Logitech mice are still as good as ever, but look like a goat's hoof.
>>
>>51737087
I am buying my first mouse.. can I get some recommendations?

I am cool with paying more for something that is reliable and / or has a good manufacture warranty.
>>
>>51740355
MX518 was godsend.
The new logitech mices look like they are for 12yo who like a spaceship design and cramped layout
>>
>>51737087
Pay the extra 23$ and get the naga.
>>
>>51740375
Logitech, Zowie, or Corsair (though some Corsair mice are shit, do your research).

Most people use the FK 2 here, but you could always go for the Elder God mouse of all time, ever.

The Microsoft IntelliMouse Optical 1.1.

Also fuck SteelSeries.
>>
>>51740375
ShitSeries Rival 300 is pretty good as I've heard
Mionix Naos 7000 too
Logitech make pretty good mice too (G502, G402, G303 and others) but their looks are atrocious
>>
>>51737087

Are you really asking? G502 of course

had a G500 and moved to a deathaddder 2013 2 years ago, I loved the g500 and love the deathadder which is still working perfectly, personally prefer the deathadder but logitech makes a solid product
>>

>>
>>51740594
Why did razer need to fuck up the scroll wheel on the deathadder?
>>
>>51740560
I just like it personally, has buttons that I can use for mom's and it's a little heavier then the deathadder and not as huge.
>>
>>51740508
I can honestly say I haven't had that issue cause I don't grip it tightly.
>>
g502 is the "best" hardware on the market current
most accurate sensor, least delay on clicks, amazing quality-of-life (for office tasks) free scrolling wheel
it's ugly and feels like shit though

your hands can adjust to basically any tool with enough exposure, but g502's shell is just retarded
>>
>>51740794
this. fucking spaceship design with "sniper" button.
they should put a g502 in a g100s shell or respawn the MX518.

>>51740398
>tfw my trusty old MX 518 is starting to go bad
>can't find a decent cheap replacement that doesn't look like a glowing transformer

>>51740690
I like the scroll wheel, I mainly play counterstrike with that mouse and bhop a lot(all scrollwheel), never had a problem with it
>>
>>51740459
>FK2
That looks like my dream mouse.

Shame it's so damn expensive.
>>
>>51740911
>>
>>51740749
okay, that clarification is helpful for instance if I
-dont play games that need 10 macro binds
-have large hands

I will agree that the deathadder is slighlty too light, but i got used to it
>>
>>51740846
>or respawn the MX518

Haven't they done that like 3 times?
Last time I cheeked pretty much all of them were awful or expensive as fuck though.
>>
>>51740928
mine gets loud as fuck while scrolling, very annoying at surfing
>>
>>51740977
Yes but the g400s also has been discontinued.
>>
>>51740981
hmm, not mine.

I feel like I hit the winning number in the lotto of DeathAdder build quality

the only problem I've had is buildup of the gross skin, oils, sweat, food, grease and dust that comes from using your mouse while eating. It made one of my side buttons stick but i just used a q-tip with isopropyl alcohol and cleaned the gunk off
>>
My death adder 2013 started double clicking within 3 months. Been using the Corsair Raptor m45 since.
>>
>>51737087
as a current owner of a Razer DeathAdder 2013, i say go with the logitech one
>>
try to get your hands on the discontinued g400s or even better g400

(best mice of all time)
>>
>>51739325
Maybe try an intellimouse. Good sensor and as long as its not the 1st gen, it has 2 side buttons.
>>
>>51740977
>pretty much all of them were awful
they were better in terms of performance

hey guys, i had a similar question so i guess ill just use this thread rather than makeing another

I want a mouse (preferably white) that is decent but cheap. something better than the generic Logitech B100 i have. dont like Razer or MadCatz. dont care about lights, dont care about weights, but preferably id like something big and a bit heavy

Are any of these good ?
>>
>>51742451
>(preferably white)
Racist prick!
>>
IMHO the best mice are:

>WMO
>IME 3.0
>DeathAdder 4G
>MX518
>G400S
>>
Don't buy a mionix castor unless you have girl/dwarf hands. The mouse is too fucking small and the back is too low.

Ergonomics my ass.

G502 is actually a really good productivity mouse and I would use it over the MX Master, I don't even play games. I bind the keys to switch desktops, volume adjust, change tracks, align windows. No more fiddling with awkward keyboard combinations.
>>
Buy a G400s, they're still like $60 on Jewegg and totally worth it.

Don't mind me. Best mouse just coming through.
>>
>>51749340
I got the 502 recently as well, I love the scroll wheel and the programable buttons. I find it pretty decent for lazily browsing with one hand as well when you program the default profile to your liking.

Its got lua scripting for macros as well which is pretty neat, I'd like to play around with that sometime.

But button placement is a little irritating, the front button next to the LMB you have highlighted is perfect for me, the one behind it is a pain in the ass to click, have to use the middle section under the knuckle of my index and it is hit and miss.

The side forward and backward buttons on the side next to your thumb are hard to access, I wish they pushed them forward some more.

The sniper button is infuriating, very little resistance it is so easy to misclick when moving my mouse since my thumb rests on it.

The sniper button should have some added resistance to it.
>>
>>51749818
oh and the wieght system sucks complete ass, no matter how hard I tried to push the weights into their sockets (and yes I put them in the right spots)

The door never manages to close flush so the mouse always ends up scraping the mouse pad.

Luckily I don't use wieghts anyway, if anything I find th emouse too heavy. Plus more wieght adds more friction increasing wear.
>>
>>51749859
yeah, i removed all the weights too, still a bit heavy for me, its ok tho

any other mice around that are for large hands? (quality ones)
>>
>>51751445
I don't know this is the first first mouse over $10 I've bought.

I was eying the cougar 700m, it was a fair bit more expensive but the adjustable palm pad is nice and the wieghts are easily added at the top.

The larger number of buttons, insane dpi that I would never use unless perhaps if I get into 4k, and free scrolling wheel are what lured me to get the G502 since it was so cheap for what it offered.

The RAT7 is hella expensive but being able to extensively adjust its ergonomics could be neat.

Was tempted to grab a steel series vengance or sensei becuase they look so comfy. But they were out of stock at my local hardware store.

I like the deathadder ergonomy but the performances are overkill for my need (I am doing just fine with a 12 years old mouse, except I am afraid of carpal syndrom due to bad ergonomy). Also, I feel like I'm paying for having an edgy gaymen logo on my device.

Is there some mouse out there that have a similar shape and size but much cheaper?

I have a g502. Girlfriend used my pc for two weeks while hers was rebuilt, and asked for the same kind of mouse for xmas. Yes, it is my best mouse purchase so far. The worst being the MX Revolution.

Pic related is the comfiest mouse I've ever used. Too bad they no longer make mice with that shape.
>>

how much longer until a better mouse comes out and g502 is relegated to meme status and everyone suddenly hates it.
>>
Logitech: I dont think I've ever had a logitech product break on me....literally even headsets that are 10 years old and abused to hell because I dont even use them anymore still work.

Razer: I was purchased one Razer Naga back in like 2011...every year it breaks, and I send it in for RMA. I am going on my 4th Naga once it arrives this month. Absolute shit product, but the RMA/ customer service is good. they pay for shipping.

Go with logitech. easier than waiting for shit razer to break....but I give it to them for being so responsible in realizing their products suck and willingness to send me one every year without question.

As someone who owns both: G502 if you are claw grip. Might take some time to get used to the button on the thumb rest area, other than that it is great.

>>51748111
i wanted to get the za13 but the shops over here in the balkans don't have them and i don't wanna pay out of the ass to get it shipped from the USA

is your like 40 cm?

how the fuck do you claw such a huge mouse

>>51747912
I have the black one without the side buttons. I'd use it exclusively if it didn't A: have 400DPI which makes it shit for high resolution and B: doesn't track on most surfaces.

Just take this mouse. Put a modern, flawless sensor in it. I'd be completely happy with it then.
>>
>>51737087
I use a Left-handed Deathadder. The shape is great.
