P.S. Please don't recommend me other brands than Razer. I'm one of those lucky ones who never had any problem with their products and my setup is already Razer-ish. Thanks.
i used deathadder (older edition). to this date i owned 3 until i finally settled on to this brand which i will not name (upon op's request).
my problems so far with the deathadders i used to own:
- cleanability. when you put your deathadder on your desk and didn't use it, it behaves like dust magnet. oftentimes i find myself scrubbing the entire mouse just to make it clean and comfortable to use again. not to mention the difficulty in properly cleaning the scroll wheel. the wheel is lighted up when the mouse is powered on. any dust or tiny speck of hair that fell inside is painfully obvious. cleaning these is no easy task.
- your fingers produce dead skins, will get stuck to the mouse too, overtime after a while a layer will build up. when you first got hold of deathadder, you'll be enticed by the rubberlike texture that feels really good to your fingers. cleaning your dead skin cells on these surfaces isn't as easy it looks.
- lastly, and this is the kicker. longlastingness. my first deathadder scroll wheel died after 1 year of usage. not much dropping (like maybe 3-5 times in the whole year), as in mouse dropping from desk to the surface of the floor. carelessness, accident happens. i doubt the impact damaged the scroll wheel, to which the real answer, i may probably never know. out of loyalty for the brand, the 2 subsequent mice were also deathadders. this time i was much more careless, i admit. i was moving house, and the place where i was going to stay, i dropped the mice even more (especially when i dragged the mice near to my bed, doing idle-lazy surfing-reading). the next day i woke up i find my mouse on the floor more oftentimes than when i last placed it (on the bed).
they didn't last long. both went kaput.
this current brand (which i will not name) i'm using have been subjected to abuse twice or 3 times my deathadders were subjected to, to the point that the mice's weight bars fell off its buttocks so many times i think if the mice had feelings, he'd be pretty sick of me.
3 years strong, countless abuse. works just like the day it was first placed on the black king's head - diablo 3 pun. 😉
went from a RAT 9 to the death adder and never looked back. Had it for over a year, great purchase.
