I've been on the hunt for the perfect mouse for a long time. I've bought many mice and while each one has something that I like, they also have something that I dislike. Currently, I find myself switching between my Deathadder and my Zowie Evo EC2 every few days. Maybe you guys can help me find it?
What I like about my Deathadder; the omron switches are very responsive and feel nice to click - probably my favorite part about the mouse.
What I dislike about it: it's way too large and heavy for my relatively small hands, the sides have no grips so it becomes very slippery, and it has a very large lift-off distance. Has some negative acceleration @ 450 DPI. If I use a higher DPI and lower the sensitivity in the driver software, then pixel skipping occurs.
What I like about my Zowie Evo EC2 is that the mouse is almost the perfect shape and size, it has a very small lift-off distance, it has a nice texture that makes it easy to grip, and is not too heavy.
What I dislike about it: Clicking requires quite a bit of force and my index finger hurts REALLY badly if I play SC2 for more than a couple hours, and it has a strange build defect where the laser light shines through a gap between the body and the scroll wheel which reflects off of my monitor and shines directly into my eye.
So basically, both have severe flaws (for me).
Some more info:
Grip style: Fingertip.
Sensitivity: 400-600 dpi.
Any negative/positive accel is a dealbreaker. Same with angle-snapping. One thing that I have discovered that I very strongly dislike are Huano switches - they cause fatigue in my finger after long sessions. Omron switches feel the most comfortable to me. Also, I strongly prefer using large cloth pads, particularly the QCK+, so it's important that the mouse doesn't jitter on cloth pads. Also, weight is pretty important.
I play on really low sensitivity in all games, so anything that weighs more than 90 grams is a pain. Lastly, I have pretty small hands and use the fingertip grip, so I need something pretty small. The Zowie Evo's shape is pretty spot on, but something even smaller (slightly) would be ideal. Also, rubber coating is nice.
Mice I have ruled out:
-Anything made by Zowie (they all use Huano switches)
-CM Storm Spawn (lowest DPI is 800 and has major problems at that DPI)
Thanks for reading.

, it has high DPI, great software, an affordable price, and it is very easy on the hands when gaming. Check it out!
