Deathadder dying...need replacement

mato · 12 Jun 2016 at 23:28

So I've had my Deathadder for about 10 years now I reckon. As of the last few weeks it's finally giving up the ghost, the wire is dodgy and sudden movements are causing it to disconnect...

I was looking at the Zowie FK1 as a replacement as it looked similar to the Deathadder but a bit cheaper and good reviews for fps games, also I've heard Razer quality maybe not as good as it was?

However looking into it, people say the Zowie isn't an 'ergonomic' fit and is more of a 'claw' grip, so might not suit someone used to a Deathadder.

Any suggestions? Or just buy another Deathadder? It's been great after all...

You'll get use to how another mouse feels just look at specs and get what you want awhile bearing in mind how you like to grip your mouse.

razer mamba / TE

basically same as the deathadder but more precision and wireless if you go for the big version.

Definitely get a Zowie.

Deathadder is still a good mouse.

I moved from the DA to the Chroma - I am very pleased with it but would be equally as happy with another Deathadder.

Thanks for the help, seems both well regarded.

What's the difference between these?
