Razer mice are like 80+ dollars and break far quicker than 20 dollar mice. Sure, shelling out the extra 50 dollars might be worth it if you really needed 7 buttons for your thumb, a built in strobe light, shitty RazeR programs for your computer and 13 different DPi settings of which you will only ever use 1. Razer is exactly like Alienware, very average/below average quality with insanely marked up prices because of branding and flashy logos. I'm sure the reason Razer is sponsoring so many teams is because no one would use their crappy equipment unless they were paid to.

I've had 5 Razer Deathadder mice, and they've all broken in a year (left-click will double-click on a single click, and doesn't stay down (flickers) when holding left-click down and dragging, scroll-wheel doesn't always register clicks), and I've had a steelseries mouse break within a year (same problem with left-clicks).
Razer and Steelseries both have decent designs and sometimes decent sensors, but their mice do not last long.
I'm always within the warranty, but I don't understand why they keep making shitty mice. Friends have not had the same problems with logitech mice.

My razer deathadder 3500dpi ed is still working perfectly after 3 years of use, just as my Razer Lycosa. The deathadder has been carried around in a bag for 3 years straight so I don't know how you guys manage to break it.
This is all used with my Alienware m17x which has the best quality feel I ever got from a notebook. Not only that the Alienware is not overpriced because if you are not stupid you put your own ssd and ram in it etc. + it got the best screen on the market + HDMI in (rare thing) + you can just upgrade the gpu/cpu if outdated.
stop saying this kind of stuff when you obviously don't know what you're talking about.

stop using your deathadders as baseballs? but seriously how do you break a deathadder. I had mine for 3 years and it never broke while also travelling with it. It still works perfectly.

No offense. But are you sure that you aren't the cause of the issue?

Btw according to EG.Krepo (LoL player) Razer is only the sponsor for peripherals for EG. Supposedly they announce a seperate headphone sponsor soon.

Where's my HuK and/or Machine commercial?
Disappointing announcement.

Absolutely not, this is a very common problem. Single-clicks will turn into double-clicks, and you will have to press hard to hold the left-click down.

I haven't met a person who hasn't had a problem with their lycosa. I like the feel of it but it fks up so much its kind of annoying.

Anecdotal evidence is fact on the internet. I dare you to prove me wrong! And if you do, I will simply ingore your argument and provide more anecdotal evidence and claim you can't read.
/internet reasoning 101 - facts not welcome

It sounds like a problem with mice in general that are used a lot or are used to roughly. I have friends who beat the shit out of the Xbox controlers, but I dont have that problem and have never replaced one. All internet reviews should be read with the idea that "This person could be a moron" in their mind.

I bought a Razer DeathAdder 3 years ago and the mouse is good enough for playing today, maybe i'm lucky. ^^

no youre not "lucky".its just that in threads like that evryone has to complain if something ever broke on him. and with razer beeing one of the first and biggest guys in this branch its obvious that ALOT of people had negative expiriences, even if the % of the overall broken products is the same. also as we all know people saying something negative always speak out while people with nothing to say cause there were no problems dont write anything.
i have my imperator now for 2 years. works and looks like on the first day. buddy has a first generation deathadder for years (and some razer mobo), other guy a first generation mamba. also no problems heared in all those years.
its no question that razer products are overpriced. but thats the marketing and shine to them, and thats the same for EVRY kind of product out there.
inshort, gz razer for sponsoring even more! people dont shy away from razer for "quality" reasons, all other reasons (price,shiny designs etc) are ofc fine

delete pls, wanted to edit...

OP: It would be really odd to see EG without a peripheral sponsor lol. Im sure Razer is ecstatic to have EG with their products, Gratz to them.
I personally love my Razer Orcas and havent needed anything more as far as a headset. I also own a Logitech M125 (the one with the retractable cord lol) and always thought about getting a "gaming" mouse, but again, it performs perfectly and doesnt show any sign of wear with the use i put it through.
To each their own

There was a guy on sc reddit who posted pictures of EG in GSL qualifiers using razer keyboard so I kinda saw this coming. Good for EG though!
|
Been using a DeathAdder for about 3 years now and it is still working very well. Maybe I've just been lucky in that regard but I feel as though razer makes pretty solid equipment. My wife and I also just purchased 2 of the BlackWidow 2013 stealth edition keyboards during razers 50% off CES sale and were very impressed by the quality and feel of the product. Not to mention they are awesome looking with their green glow when playing in a dimly lit room.

my friend gone through 3 deathadders so yea, I would stay away from razer. plus their keyboards are pretty crappy compared to flico and ducky
