I've RMA'd a razer keyboard and they never ask where you purchased your product. IMO it shouldn't affect the quality of your support.

With that being said, Razer support sucks. It took about 7-8 emails for me to get my RMA through and the person didn't read my posts. They'll listen to you through persistence.

hmm still trying to figure out if i want BE for 10 dollars less or the 3g Deathadder....

any suggestions?

Right now I use MX518 and I have 4hd and qck heavy.
I use 800 DPI for CS, 400 for BC2/BF3, and 1200 for SC2 with various sensitivity sttings. I wish Deathadder had adjustable DPI though...great for when you want to go into tank or AA gun in Battlefield...

Between those choices you'll have to evaluate their differences to see what you want in a mouse.

Black Edition

Pros:
- 10$ Cheaper
- Better mousefeel (Arguably)

Cons:
-3 CD Lift-off distance (~4.5mm)

3G

Pros
- Significantly less lift-off distance
- Non-braided cable (which I personally view as a plus)

Cons
- Slippery sides attract grime. Top surface attracts moisture more than the Black Edition

Now, both mice are extremely accurate and have the same ergonomics. These are essentially the two differences in the mice. Pick and choose which attributes you need the most and make your decision based on that.

I bought a Deathadder BE last week and so far I love it. But I have a question.

Is the scrollwheel durable? Can it take a lot of punishment?

Durable in regards to what? The deathadder uses a top mounted PCB for the scroll wheel functions so it can take a LOT more pressure than bottom mounted scroll wheel PCBs.

The scroll wheels also seem to last longer than Logitech scroll wheels (Which, on all my logitech MX518 based mice double or counter-scrolled after 2-3 months).

However, the scrolling "notch" will become less tactile as the mouse gets more use.

Durable to a lot of middle clicks? I can't seem to get used to its scroll button when browsing but when I'm gaming it doesn't bother me as much.

I still think this is the best mouse I ever owned though. The tracking is top notch.

I believe the middle mouse switch is not an omron switch. Durability wise mouse switches usually encounter the "double clicking" problem before they fail.

What do you mean when you say you can't use it? Is it too stiff to click or does the click not register?

I can definitely use it. My problem is sometimes when I click the scroll wheel it also scrolls.

That sucks buddy. I had that problem on my G5 and I couldn't find a solution for it. If it bothers you I'd try returning it for another unit.

Maybe it will get better in time. It doesn't bother me that much anyway.
