Hi everyone,

Thanks in advance !

Of course there are expections. Generally you see many people complaining about bad build quality of the Razer mouses. Two of my friends have had DA and both of those broke down, scroll wasn't working or the mouse double-clicked all the time. Just search from the internet. These problems are very common in Razer mouses.

G400 cheap and good plus I heard that Death Adders break easily, basicly what HIRVI said but I haven't had any cord problems with my G400 so far.

t4Mj 29 Aug 2012, 11:01
and what about SteelSeries Sensei ? i saw the cord is a bit different atm
Parent

Niels 29 Aug 2012, 11:05
Well the SteelSeries Sensei is from a whole other price range of course it's a good mouse with some fancy features but I think it's a bit more marketing than needed you should ask R0SS about it he played with a Sensei at LAN

Wasnt ROSS using a Zowie mouse?
Sensei: Great mouse, high price due to shit you dont need (little screen on the bottom), SteelSeries Engine is the best software around, tho

Niels 29 Aug 2012, 11:23
no he wasn't he used the Sensei with 3 different colors :'D

I've got mine DA for like 3 or 4 years, it's holding up well.
Parent
▼
Niels 29 Aug 2012, 11:29
I heard a lot of other stories about it.
Parent
▼
Yoddha 29 Aug 2012, 11:33
well, maybe it's about that new DA with 3.5G sensor, i'm using the oldschool DA with 1800dpi

DeathAdder:
A solid mouse with a nice driver, its a little light tho.
Imo it dies really fast and mouse1 has close to no "resistance"

g400:
Never had one, only tried one on LANs.
Solid but like every Logitech "gamingmouse" not state-of-the-art, logitech is way behind SS, Razer, Qpad, Roccat and Zowie, imo.

Niels 29 Aug 2012, 11:07
What are you missing in the g400? it has 2 side buttons and the drivers are user friendly and of course the sensor that proved it self for years.
Parent

Rayzed 29 Aug 2012, 11:15
Its just a feeling, the mice are hard to break and of good quality but I think the software is poor (that may have changed over the last year) and sensor is "good" but imo the SS-Sensei sensor (and the razer sensor) outplay the Logitech one easily.

there are apparently a lot of bugs with the sensei sensor (you can see that at esreality, expert on mice)

positive and negative accel (it appear randomly and when you move the mouse to fast)
Parent

Rayzed 29 Aug 2012, 16:39
The acceleration can be fixed and as for the sensor bugs, I've heard about them but never had one myself.

Deathadder - I've got mine for 3 or 4 years, it's working perfectly, no idea what guys above did with it :D Really great mouse.

Hennessy 29 Aug 2012, 13:30
you just got a good quality one, most razer mice break so fast, mouse1 button usually breaks after few months/year old hardcore gaming. had a razer copperhead as well once, it lasted 3 years, bought another one after that which broke after a month, so as i said. you were lucky with your mouse.

Taky samozrejme jde o to,co od ni chces.. Jestli jen browsing,hrani,grafika atd..

Taky podle penez,jestli jednu z tehlech dvou tak DA..

Jinak osobne mam SS-Sensei (half-price get in son!) a ta mys je super,kdyz kouknes na YT tak vypada celkem mala,ale je to takova mid mys co se tyce velikosti.. Chvili si zvykat na trosku jemnejsi tlacitko na mysi (LB)..

O sensoru se nemusim ani zminovat,ten je proste bezkonkurencni.. :)

Na hraní, předešlá odešla po asi dvou letech takže teď mám kancelářskou dokud nehraju. Potřebuju ale něco spolehlivýho co mi vydrží zase taky nějakou dobu, cenu mám na háku, to pro mě nehraje roli. Už mám ale zkušenosti s pár značkama takže jsem něco už vyřadil předem a Razer má pro mě chybu s nálepkou u senzoru, takže proto jsem se víc přiklonil k logitech protože mx518 byla prej hodně dobrá. Jinak už mám objednanou g400 :) Ale díky.

The only mouse I'd consider buying for myself currently seems to be the Zowie AM. That's mostly because of its plug&play and driverless usage, the not to mess with dpi settings, the (according to reviews and abort) great sensor and its shape without useless crap on it. However, even though it's so basic, it's incredibly expensive still.

From those two you mentioned, it doesn't really matter which you buy. Get the one with the better shape for YOU. You won't notice any difference in the sensors or performance.

And yet I have no idea how everyone seems to break their mice that easily. I have smashed mine (ancient Microsoft mouse) onto tables (ask Owzo about an earthquake at LAN) and tossed it around several times and it still works perfectly. And also in the time I have used Logitech and Razer mice, I have never experienced broken cables.

Could be. As I said, I wouldn't be looking into mouses that come with tons of features, useless lightning and personally I don't like ergonimcal (left/right) shaped mice that force the user into a certain grip style.
However I also haven't really checked the market again for a couple of months, so the AM might indeed be outdated already. :)

Does it also save/change the DPI/Hz settings without the need for a driver?
