I am done with razer mice. Another abyssus has kicked the can (well, it kicked the can last week). My last 4 mice have now been razer mice, each lasting 4-6 months. Time to order a g9x or something since they are on sale for $57 on Amazon atm....
Haven't really been able to play SC2 without being really annoyed for over a month now since the tracking already had started developing a huge bias, so I ended up with 0 minimap awareness because I would have to focus all my attention on controlling the mouse pointer, which is partly why I stopped playing ladder altogether.
Why do Abyssuses feel so plastic-like, and feel so damn terrible of build quality? They don't feel anything like the bigger razer mice I've seen. Oh well, on to other claw grip mice.

Maybe try the zowie mico (I think it was called). A lot of my friends swear by it, and I believe it's a smaller mouse.
Only goes up to 1600 dpi, so too slow for the amount of wrist movement I use. 3500+ only basically.
Sigh, my DA was amazing for the 1 year it lasted then it pooped I'm planning on finding a large steelseries mouse or something to replace it but if I can't, i'm gonna go straight back to razer. The deathadder is simply too perfect for my hand to give up
I got a Sensei[RAW] or w/e the capitalization is, and it's very nice. Used to have a Razer Naga (you know, the original one that was fucking awful as shit with the clicking issues and glitchy sensor). Feels very solid, no problems or complaints yet. Also unlike the new Synapse 2.0, the Steelseries engine doesn't crash every time it gets opened.
go with the MiCo it is has a solid shape built for micro no special buttons cause thats what your keyboard is for... only one problem rare scroll wheel squeak but has been pretty solid after that.. Built for CLAW GRIP!

Oh wow, I see... :/
Hm, in that case I recommend the CM Storm Spawn. Great price, and it's overall an incredible, incredible mouse. I actually meant to recommend that one in the first place.

One thing about the Storm Spawn that makes me nervous is that it's rated for significantly less clicks than the g9x. Makes me wonder if that relates to build quality at all.
Ah, that might be true I suppose. If you can spare the money, you might as well try out the Storm Spawn since it's really quite cheap. 5 million clicks is also not too bad. At how many clicks is the g9x rated? I couldn't google up the answer :X
I'm surprised to hear this. I bought a DA and then got the black widow keyboard too. Both are still going strong (2 years DA and 1.5 BW) Haven't even had the slightest problem. I'm hoping that you guys are all the exception, because I have happy hands using the stuff I have.

I play at 3500 right now, which is the most the abyssus can go to. I kind of want to try higher though, just as an exercise in hand-eye xD

Deathadder feels solid. Abyssus feels like a piece of shit. Sadly I use the Salmosa/Abyssus cause that's the only claw grip mice Razer makes.
TT-esports mice are pretty good, roccat, steel series, logitech <- all make good mice. Must be said I've got a DA and haven't had a problem :/ Why would anyone buy an abyssus anyway? eww.
I use a G500. Much more durable than any of Razer's stuff as far as I know. With a much better warranty and better service as well. I rarely ditch a company like Razer but now I've had enough. I wonder if it's on purpose but their products are great when they work - but they break. A lot.
I guess some of their products do well, like the deathadder. Maybe they forgot to put the self destruct device in there.

It's actually preference for me, because units in sc2 have non-small hitboxes if you compare it to say headshotting someone at long range in an fps (therefore higher DPI becomes controllable) and also it means I dont have to move my hand much.
Now I don't think 5700 dpi will be controllable, but it's a fun challenge to try out on the side :D
I've been at 1800 dpi for 4 years and 3500 for over 1 year now, so it's not really getting caught up in marketing (which I don't even pay attention to). It's just... it works better for me. Also I don't get a mouse because it can go to 5700 dpi, it's more like the g9x is just a damn good mouse from what I hear and read, and it just so happens it can go that ridiculously high, so why not give that high setting a go!
I will just stay with my trusty Microsoft wheel mouse optical. + Show Spoiler +
I bought a ton of them for almost nothing, it's impossible to destroy, uses the same sensor as Intellimouse explorer and the shape is good for anything (dunno about cs though). As long as I won't use some really high resolutions (think 1280x1024 and above), this piece of hardware has the best sensor ever invented. And fuck razers, i had a Diamondback 3G and Salmosa, both sucked, and i never really felt these milion DPIs other than the mouse going apeshit at low res.

Believe it or not, I did get that exact Microsoft mouse at one point. It also died within 6 months lol. Maybe I click shit too hard... I know my key presses have been commented on as being overly hard smashing.
