the nixeus revel was super good, i would have kept using it if i didn't get a free g pro

the g pro is really good but costs a lot

Choose based on your preference on shape. Specific brands aren't really better than others in terms of sensor performance. Pretty much any mouse with a 3090, 3310, 3360 or 3988 variant will perform fine aside from a few fringe cases with dodgy implementations or qc issues going on.

It's also completely fine to go with a brand that isn't zowie, razer or logitech if it uses one of these sensors and doesn't have some massive issue (check the overclock.net thread on the mouse before buying).

If what you use currently is comfortable in your hand literally go with the mouse that's the closest shape to that.

Logitech is really the only way to go if you want the best. I really recommend ponying up the extra $20 for a G Pro or one of their other new gen mice (Proteus Core sensor with the new mechanical button switches, being the key features).

i used a 2013 deathadder for a few years and have since gotten an ec1-a to replace it. been using it for about a year now and it's my favorite of the two. never had any issues at all with any buttons or other qualities and it's overall just a really nice mouse.

I've used a deathadder chroma for the past few years and it has never once started to fail even with pretty heavy use. One of my friends got one too and he has had no problems.

As someone using an EC2, I really dislike the mushy side button, and the low lift out distance took me awhile to get use to coming from the 3.5g Death Adder. It's all about mouse ergonomics, so many of them have great sensors now, so it's more about trying a lot of shapes out.

Zowie's always a great brand to shop for, the main difference between the FK-series and the EC-series being the actual shape. FK was designed for ambidextrous use while EC was designed for right-handed users. If you're a righty i'd strongly suggest something from the EC series as they're much more comfortable for righties than the FK (obviously) . Can't speak on the ZA series unfortunately.

Been using the DA 2013 since it came out, recently ordered the FK2 to try it but sent it back after a couple days.
It's a decent mouse and really lightweight but i get cramps in the right side of my hand after playing for too long due to the ambidextrous shape.

Guess I'm just too used to the palm grip shape.

It really depends on the size of your hand and what type of mouse shape you prefer (ergonomic or ambidextrous) since $50 is a really good price to be choosing mice.

you probably should have gotten the fk1 or fk1+ since the fk2 is a much smaller mouse than the deathadder

I mean 'best' is really subjective. What might be great for you, may suck for someone else. To be honest, the shape is the most important factor of any mouse, it's more important than how good the sensor is because they're really very similar in any optical mouse you get.

If you have small hands, then you might really like something like the zowie fk2, or the logitech g102/203 (don't get the Gpro, it's a complete waste of money, the 102 and 203 are essentially the same mouse, the only thing that the gpro grants you is bragging rights).

If you have large hands and use an ergonomic grip then you might like something like the logitech g403, it has a relatively safe shape, and the best sensor on the market.

If you have small hands and use an ergonomic grip, then get a ec2a.

Sorry for the long post, I probably could of made that a lot shorter.

this is my current mouse and i like it but i don't know what sensor it uses but i bought for 10$ so i'm sure the sensor isn't the best with that price , the ec2a seems good for me and looks like my current mouse
