Buying new mouse- quick question about DPI

MumboJumbo · 8 Sep 2011 at 18:25

Hey guys well I've been using the old style razer deathadder for a very long time now sitting at 1800dpi i've noticed it's lost a lot of sensitivity compared to when I first had it so i'm looking to replace it now and am wondering if I should just stick to what I know and get the updated deathadder.

The reason I ask is because at 3500dpi there are much higher dpi mice out now and is it sensible to just get them instead?

Cheers.

Don't particularly have a budget. That isn't to say I intend on spending £120 on a mouse. Just looking to spend what ever is needed to get a decent mouse which isn't just overpriced.

As for buttons, I don't really require lots. While they are nice to have I'm not an MMO player so aren't essential. The back/forward buttons are essential though as I can't browser the interwebz without them.

Damn the G500 looks like a very good competitor to the death adder now. I think I might try and see if I can find this mouse in a shop for me to get my hands on it and feel it. I'm unsure if it's as comfortable for my hand as the death adder as i've never been a huge fan of logitech mice purely because I find them heavy and move the mouse in my fingers mainly rather than using my wrist or moving the whole hand.

:EDIT:

Having looked at reviews it looks like a great mouse but sadly I'm a claw gripper not a hand gripper so either way It's helped me make the decision of getting the death adder. Cheers.

Well just a little update guys.

The mouse pad is massive, too big to fit on my desk but I did run the mouse over it and it seemed decent. Though I feel it caused more friction than I would have liked but it was free.

On to the mouse. I can't believe how broken my old mouse was. I knew it wasn't working 100% but from the moment I started using my new mouse I've been decimating css servers as opposed to being decimated. I felt like such a noob before after being really quite good 4/5 years back, now I know it was my mouse XD haha.
