Going back to razer but should i try out the deathadder?

Nocky24 · 13 Nov 2009 at 17:13

The deathadder is excellent, using it here on windows 7 64bit myself- no problems. The only thing i can fault is the fact i can't use the middle scroll wheel as a button for nades in call of duty 2, but in eveything else its brilliant.

It annoys me when people post this. You may well be right, but can you tell us why please?

dmxdex2020 · 13 Nov 2009 at 17:32

Yes i didnt asked about the mx518.

Gonzo0 · 13 Nov 2009 at 17:33

Well this is based on personal experience but..

I find Razers mouse not as ergonomic as the logitech, not as reliable, more expensive and IMO performs just aswell.

I know there are quite a few on here who would agree with me on this, but again its just my opinion. The OP may completely disagree.

I have experience with a razer mouse. i use to own a razer diamondback which i though was alittle small it however tracked excellently. I have used a logitech G5 around my mates and found it didnt not suit me it didnt seems to fit aswell. The deathadder looks like its good ergnonically.

They got 10 in stock.

I mean the 3.5g version, OcUK stock seems to be the old version. No biggy though. My friend has the diamondback, and it is much the same, just the deathadder is ergonomically much better as you say

dmxdex2020 · 13 Nov 2009 at 18:05

If the deathadder that OCUK are selling is not the 3.5 G version then im buying else were.

Go for the Steelseries Xai, it has a better sensor than the DA look for reviews it is a better mouse!

Im after the razer mouse dont want to buy another mouse. Shame ocuk dont stock the deathadder 3.5 g version.

dmxdex2020 · 13 Nov 2009 at 18:16

Is there a lot of difference between the deathadder and the deathadder 3g? im not someone who uses a lot of dpi in games. 800dpi for me.

Anyone?

Like i said i had the razer diamondback 3.5 g and it tracked amazingly well. Will getting the standard deathadder 1800 dpi track not so well as the razer diamondback 3.5 g?

dmxdex2020 · 13 Nov 2009 at 19:09

Anyone?

arc@css · 13 Nov 2009 at 19:21

All I can say is in my experience so far the Death Adder tracks well, and like you, I play with low dpi / sensitivity.

dmxdex2020 · 13 Nov 2009 at 19:23

I find it hard to understand. This 3g lazer razer now use is that just for increased sensitivity? 1800dpi with 3g does that double the speed or something? making it 5200 dpi?

Yes

Nope, 3G is the tracking sensor which gives you that dpi (1800)

OutOfFaze · 13 Nov 2009 at 20:34

I know this isn't what you asked, but I had a Deathadder and it was excellent, right up until I headbutted it. Then it didn't work.

Just ordered a Lachesis, so we'll see how that compares.

The deathadder is 1800dpi so then what your saying is that should be 3g aswell then?

could never get on with the original razors still got a boomslang somewhere

logitec all the way only had two mice in 5 years and only changed the first one for more buttons

darkstroke · 13 Nov 2009 at 20:55

The original Deathadder is 1800dpi and uses a 3g sensor, while the new Deathadder is 3500dpi and uses a 3.5g sensor.

dmxdex2020 · 13 Nov 2009 at 21:09

Ahh right, 3.5 is for the higher dpi. thanks for clearing that up darkstroke.
