Need help comparing my top 3 gaming mice

[cramstr]

So about a few days ago I posted a discussion asking for advice on getting a new gaming mouse. I got tons of great responses, and this post is about my final results/options. I've narrowed all the input into my top 3 preferred mice:

1. Logitech g403 (wired)
- Nice optical sensor, up to 12000 dpi
- Comfortable look & feel
- Fits my hand size and claw grip
- Nice RGB lighting
- Cheap price compared to other mice of same caliber
- Adjustable weights

Cons:
- Less features than other mice
- Cable is thick and stiff

2. Razer DeathAdder Elite
- Excellent sensor, up to 16000 dpi
- Very comfortable grip and feel
- Fits my hand size and claw grip
- Nice RGB lighting
- Light

Cons:
- Razer software takes time to set up to access full capabilities
- Razer is notorious for bad quality products
- Rather expensive

3. SteelSeries Rival 310
- Nice sensor, up to 12000 dpi
- Comfortable feel
- Fits my hand size and claw grip
- Nice RGB lighting

Cons:
- Less customization options


So these 3 mice are all very similar in terms of performance. At this point, it all comes down to how each of them feels. I have not personally held any of them yet, so I will have to head out later on. However, what are your opinions? Which one of these 3 are the best? Are there any others that are similar? Have any of you had experience with these?

You can safely remove Razer from your selection. Their choice of materials and build quality are quite shoddy. They're infamous for their very low longevity.

If the only con of the SteelSeries Rival 310 is that it has less customization options then why don't you just buy it? It's not like you are going to be looking at your mouse, which will be under your hand all the time, while playing games.

Logitech 403. Just take the cable in your hands and make a half-loop, and run the loop up toward the mouse and then back down toward the plug a few dozen times, will soften that cord right up.

I've never had a Razor mouse last a year. Logitech will replace your mouse even after warranty, no fuss.

A thing about the Steel Series mouse. The rubber coating on the side will wear out in 1 a year and will most likely get more annoying at year 2.

At the moment I have another Steel Series Rival mouse and have had a few problems.

The back button that makes you go back once have from time to time activated twice on a single press. I got around this to make a script that it could only play once like every half second or so.

Other than that I rather like the mouse, it's quite large which is good for my hands.

This is TRUE. I used to buy razer and they only lasted 10 months tops. I bought a utech which is literally the same thing with the 12 buttons but it has already past 2 years of use for HALF THE PRICE.

Screw Razer. Don't ever buy their stuff

3. every move of your hand is represented the same way on the screen, tested in real life usage, photoshops and in gaming

Thanks for the replies! So i guess Razer is out.

The thing is, the nearest Best Buy near me does not have SteelSeries Rival 310s, so I won't be able to feel it IRL...

Can anyone explain the physical differences between the Logitech and the SteelSeries?

I bought my logitech 2 years ago and havent had to replace clicker switch or anything. Very reliable

Which Logitech mouse? And how does it feel in your hand?

But how come many online sites tested the DeathAdder Elite and various other Razer products, and they said the results were great, and that the mouse is excellent? Do the bad quality products come in batches? Is it just chance? And if so, will it matter where I buy it from?

Most of the times those people don't test devices for longevity. Every single person I know who made the mistake of purchasing a Razer peripheral had it not work after less than a year of use.

This.

I really enjoyed the Deathadder. I liked the way it felt in my hand, and it had good performance too. I would have given it a glowing review in the first couple months that i had it.

However, 8 months down the line and the scroll wheel broke. I thought, ok freak accident. I bought the 2013 model. Again, it worked great, but again, some months down the line and the exact same break occured in the new one.

I also had bad experience with two sets of kraken headpones, both had the same thing happen where the left can stopped working.

I went back to logitech mice. My 8 year old mx 518 still works as good as it did new, though I've since switched to the g400s.

Razer products can be nice, but they are not built to last.

Wow, that explains a lot, thanks for sharing your experiences.

What Logitech mouse do you use?
