Hey. I realize there is fuckton of such threads, but I can't really get enough feedback to decide which mouse should I buy.
I hold my mouse like palm grip. I was thinking about Deathadder 2013, Sensei RAW and Zowie FK/1 but still can't decide, everything because I have read bad stuff about Deathadder having double clicks and all the other kinds of problems, Sensei having acceleration built in the sensor and Zowie just being too small for my hand. Gamers, can you help?
FK was too small for my hand but FK1 was perfect, also imo its the best mouse out of the lot
Deathadder here, had it for about a year now and it works perfectly, nothing broke
Ideally you'd just go to a store and see how they feel in your hand

What mousepads you guys got?
Negative accel like the Sensei RAW has isn't really noticeable (for me, tbh). You won't really notice it unless you want to draw super accurate dicks in MS paint at different speeds or something. Honestly, the feel of it is really solid, and I haven't used a different mouse for quite a while now. "Perfect sensors" are cool and all, but you can play well around a technically "bad mouse" if it is the right fit for you, e.g. I use the sensei RAW, sheep uses the G9x.
See if you can go into a store that has some out and give some different mice a feel/try. In the end it really comes down to how it feels vs cost, performance is there too but it just needs to move across your screen.
Zowie FK1 is almost the same size as RAW sensei

I'm under the impression that the DA is better than other mice are on cheap crappy cloth pads, but don't take my word for it.
I have a Sensei RAW and I would highly recommend it. It is the perfect size for me (slightly larger than average hands), the macro keys are in the perfect position and I have grown used to using one of the for crouching, and it makes sticky/rocket jumping feel like I am not even pressing an extra button to crouch. So far it is quite durable, lasting me over a year with no problems or signs of slowing down. It is a really good mouse for its price, you should seriously consider getting one.
If you decide you want an EC-1 EVO or AM, Monoprice still has them on sale for $37(!!!). I just got my Monoprice EC1 a few days ago as a backup for if/when my DA2013 dies and its now my mouse of choice.

I have a corsair raptor m40. It works well, but it is a pretty big mouse.
I have a deathadder black edition I bought in 2013 and I'm really happy with it.
Other than the mouse feet starting to scrape off I had 0 Issues.
Also don't buy a R.A.T mouse.
Biggest mistake I made.
I'd recommend the EC1 if you palm grip, or the DA 2013, but the EC1 has better build quality so I'd go with that. (as I hear DA *2013*'s die quickly).
if u palm then g400?? or g400s whatever u can get your hands on
I wouldn't recommend a DA 2013, I really like the feel of it but the chance is just too high for issues. Currently going through my 2nd replacement for a double clicking issue.
jonazI havent had any problems with my deathadder 2013
same here
You can't go wrong with the Zowie FK1. It's perfect.
I currently have the DA with a goliathus speed, i've had no issues so far.
Al3xI currently have the DA with a goliathus speed, i've had no issues so far.
Same. Lefty deathadder + goliathus speed (used control for a while too, also worked fine) since 2009. No issues, in fact I'm still using the same deathadder I've had since 2009, no scroll wheel or button problems. Only thing I've had to do it replace the feet.
Find a store that puts their mice on display. Pick the one that feels the most comfortable.
Sensei anything will have accel (don't get it)
Zowie FK/FK1 are great (no accel)
DA 2013 has a great sensor(I hate the shape)
Absolutely love my rival, I believe they're pretty cheap now. Also heard great things about the Zowie FK1, but I think can be hard to get.
Just buy a standard USB mouse, don't play in choosing fancy looking mouses.
