Need help deciding on a new mouse. (Deathadder - sensei raw - Zowie ec1 ec2)

I'm in the market for a new mouse, and I need your help. As of right now I am considering the deathadder, sensei raw, and the zowie ec1 or ec2, but I'm more than open to other suggestions in the same price range. There are a few HUGE points that a mouse for must have:

1. Comfort. Comfort is the number one thing for me when it comes to purchasing a mouse. I know comfort is a pretty subjective topic, but i'm sure your opinion will help me greatly. Also, I would say I have medium sized hands.

2. Click responsiveness. I play a lot of games that require many clicks so this is a must. I absolutely dread loose, weak, and untactile feeling switches/clicks. I really need a mouse with extremely click responsiveness. Doesn't matter if it's loud or not. I just want to clicks to feel good a strong, but I don't want the switches to be too heavy and tire my fingers out. For example, I've tried a steelseries ikari optical at my friends house, and the clicks felt mega weak and unresponsive. I hated it.

Also, I do care for a good sensor, but the other 2 requirements above far surpass the sensor. And I don't really care much for a lcd, be able to change the led colors, and etc for a mice.

So, any help will be greatly appreciated!

Based on the two things that you have mentioned, I must recommend the Deathadder. If there is anything I can say about Razer products is they defiantly are very comfortable and have very firm/tactile switches. The Deathadder also has one of the better sensors on the market today. Only bad thing I can say about the Deathadder is it lacked a bit in comfort because my hand was so big (Or I didn't hold it right or something?) my pinky would drag off the side.

The clicks on the Zowie feel nicer and more tactile than the Deathadder which in contrast feels mushy and very light. I can't really comment on the comfort of the EC1 as I own an EC2 which is a bit smaller than the EC1.

How do you like the EC2 comfort wise?

Also, does anyone know the differences between the regular ec1/ec2 and the new evo versions of them?

It like it quite a bit since the size is very similar to the IMO 1.1 which I used to use quite a bit (with a palm grip), I was really surprised that it turned out to be so comfortable as I thought that it would be really cramped but that's not the case. It's kind of odd that I don't find the EC2 cramped since the Deathadder, which has a similar shape and is a little bit larger, feels a lot more cramped and doesn't sit in my hand as well as the EC2 but YMMV.

I just came across that the ec1/2 is being updated with an "evo" version. I've also read that it now comes with a different switch type? How does it feel?

The previous EC series apparently had the same switch, it was only the early batches that had different switches (omrons like the Deathadder).

I don't know anything about switches at all. All I know is that there are 2 switch types? the HUANO and the OMRON? How does each switch feel?

Switches in the EC2 Evo are the best I've ever used.
