Need Mouse Recommendations

[koKo_ 350]

Looking at getting new stuff for Christmas

 

I've been using a Razer Abyssus (the old one) for almost 2 years, and it's worked great, but the lack of side buttons on the mouse bothers me a bit, I could really use some. I've been looking at getting the Logitech G502 Proteus Core, but there seems to be some controversy surrounding the build quality. I've also looked at the Logitech G302 Daedalus Prime and the new Deathadder. Any recommendations?

A lot of people are tough on Razer but I never had any big problems with them. I'm using an old Deathadder I got a couple of years ago and it still works great. The only thing about it was the rubber grips came off after a year or so. I could glue them on, but the way I grip the mouse would cause them to come off again. When I just got my new computer setup I ended up getting the Deathadder Chroma for it. I mainly got it for the colors but realized it was almost a waste since I am still using the old one. I thought about doing a giveaway for it but it will just be kept as a backup for now. I read more reviews on it and it seems people have had issues with quality with the newer Deathadders.

Got a 2013 Razer Deathadder after my Logitech let me down and I thought I'd never use anything different from Logitech.  I can't see myself going back now.

Razer definitely do good mice, ive had a Razer naga for about 4 years and still pretty much works, the left click started to break in the last month though, and im using a Death adder 2013 edition now. Logitech is decent aswel though.

Logitech g400s. If you can find one, get it. It's discontinued afaik, but it's an awesome mouse.

Have it for like 2 years now, absolutely love it.

Ive narrowed it down to one mouse from both companies Razor/Logitech

Razer Deathadder 2013

Logitech G302 Daedalus Prime (G303 too expensive just for the amount of stuff it offers) i dont know maybe ill get it

I use a G402 ATM. Can vouch for it as I can for Logitech G5, G500, G400, G400s and G502, the Roccat Kone Pure Optical is also a beaut but the wheel failed after about 2 years of usage, I woul go for the Military version since I hear it's sturdier. I also have the SS Rival but it's a huge mouse and I have difficulty using it.

Should also specify im only using these for MOBAs probably

Yeah, this was the mouse I had before my Deathadder.  I had two over about a 5 year period.  First one was awesome and lasted over 4 years, the second one only lasted just over 12 months.

Well after doing more homework I cropped out Logitech out of the race and added the Zowie FK1 and the SS Rival. Now trying to decide between those 2 and Deathadder. Dammit this is tough

Bear in mind, the size difference between these 2 mice is considerable. You will likely find one of them unusable depending on your grip style/palm size.

If all else fails, get the 1 with most lights/+buttons cant ever have too many buttons

I usually do a full palm grip, but I have my fingers curled up a bit at the moment because the Razer Abyssus is too small to fit my hand on. It's not to the point where it's uncomfortable, but I would like to have a mouse where I could potentially do a full palm grip. My hand is roughly 18.5 cm long and just under 8 cm wide
