My questions is, does anyone with experience using G300 find the location of the side buttons awkward, them being on top of the mouse rather than the side? I don't really use those buttons in game but I've read that that is one negative aspect of the mouse.

I need to choose between the G300, the G400, and the Razer Deathadder.

The G300 is the cheapest, but it looks a bit unwieldy, especially all those buttons on the left and right keys.

ey, I am building a new gaming rig, and I need a mouse, so I have decided on the Razer Deathadder (although it was close between deathadder, Logitech g500 and Razer Naga ) But I need to decide on the original Deathadder or the 2013 version.
Here is my problem. I would definitely get the 2013 version, because or higher dpi and 4g lazer, but 1. I don't like the rubber grips on the 2013, I'm a smooth sorta guy and 2. my entire gaming rig is red. So my case has red LEDS, and so does my keyboard, so if I got the 2013 edition, it would have green LEDS, which would clash I'm a little bit OCD with colors :D So I found this version of the original Deathadder http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Original-Deathadder-Cross-Fire-Red-Edition-Gaming-mouse-Fast-Free-shipping-in-stock/803343_868940256.html. It is a red LED version of it made for the game Cross Fire (which I had never heard of, nor do I care that it says CF on the mouse) but I was wondering if there was that much difference between this version and the 2013 version. The CF version is just like the original Deathadder, with a 3.5g lazer and 3500 DPI. So mainly I was wondering if I would REALLY notice that much of a difference between 3500 and 6400 DPI? I will mainly use it for sc2, but I will definitely play other games with it (Battlefield 4 :D). The CF version is also quite a bit cheaper, and I'm on a 16 year old budget Does anybody still have the original Deathadder that can give me feedback on the original vs the 2013?Again I don't really like the grips on the side (I have tried them and I feel they are too sticky) and the color is sorta important But I can turn off the leds on the 2013 version if I absolutely have to.

Thanks a bunch <3 and sorry that it is a very long question

Hey all,

I'm a palm gripper, looking for a decent SC2/Dota2 mouse.

Right now, I'm using a new MX518 which will be moved to another machine (which is in need of a mouse) when I buy a new one.

I previously used a G5 (broke), then a G500 (for RMA but is taking very very very long) and find the MX518's shape too small. The shell of the G500 seems slightly larger and it seems to reduce my hand fatigue. I've noticed that with the 518, I start experiencing pain after playing where with the G500, I didn't.

I'm looking at a Deathadder 2013 which overall seems like a decent palmgrip mouse, but I don't know if this is a decent mouse for Dota2, especially that I see many pro gamers binding inventory items to their mice.

There doesn't seem to be a Dota2 progamer gear thread. Has anyone seen what mice do pro Dota2 players use with regards to the mouse bindings?

Thanks!

More DPI is not better, don't fall for marketing hype. The best accuracy you can get would be to set mouse 1:1 so that one count on the sensor moves 1 pixel on your screen (you can't get better than this in terms of the smallest area that is selectable) and then use DPI to set sensitivity. There's little reason to use more than 2000 or so on a 1920x1080 screen, i'd consider that very very high, though some people have different standards you should never exceed 3.5k almost unarguably

DA 3.5g (seems to be the one you're looking at) is slippery plastic sides, can be a big pain to grip. It was one of the biggest complaints

On 1920x1080 screen, 2000dpi means you cross the entire screen with less than 1 inch of movement (1920 pixels wide screen, 2000 pixels moved from 1 inch of movement at 2000dpi)

^But your goal isn't to move the mouse with as little movement as possible, it's to be accurate and relaxed in the arm/wrist. Accuracy and comfort goes up with lower sensitivities, you may not want to use 600 or 800dpi but there's little reason to ever use over three times that.

Thanks. Any other mouse I should be considering? Support says I have a G500s coming in the mail, but they've already dallied for 3 months so I'm not hopeful if I'll get it before 2014.

I have access to a small subset of the Roccat and SteelSeries line but no Mionix/Zowies around here so more specialized brands are out.
