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?

Razer DeathAdder Elite is the best of those.

However, if going Logitech consider the G900 (wireless, but with attachable cable) or similar. They are well built to last and a quality product.

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?

G400s. A bit of an older model, i think the current model is the g402.

Oh, ok. I have heard of that. I personally don't really like the design and all the buttons, though.

Razer products aren't actually bad as such, but most are packed with so much useless bling, they tend to breakdown easy.

There's only two which doesn't break easy is: Razer DeathAdder and the BlackWidow

As for Logitech, The MX518 (optical) was the original gaming mouse > G500 (lazer) > G900 (wireless). Those are built to last (had might ones for longer than 8 years each, even handed down to others). It has everything you need for gaming purposes, and nothing too bling just for marketing purpose. Others such as G400s are side offsprings from the original.

Thanks. Do you by any chance know anything about SteelSeries mice, specifically the Rival 310?

They are pretty good and well constructed. I haven't personally owned one (those others I've tested and used, mostly favoring Logitech), but have check them out in the computer stores.

12,000 dots per inch eh? Tell me, can you quickly, accurately and repeatedly move a mouse only 1/12,000th of an inch? How about 1/6,000th? 1/3,000th?

That is what we call marketing gimmick.

However, the point to take is merely claiming it's "accurate". You could happily game at 400DPI for something such as CounterStrike on a 1080p resolution monitor. However, if you wanted to draw at pixel perfection, zoomed in on an UltraHD 4K monitor across 3 or more multiple displays side-by-side, it becomes a problem. You will find 400DPI jumping across skipping some pixels. 12,000 DPI is ideal if you have multiple monitors and do digital art work, web design, 3D modeling, etc, requiring pixel perfection. You would lower the DPI down for most other things or if you have a single monitor. It's actually ideal to setup 3 DPI settings to toggle between depending on the task or just get use to a lower DPI for all.
