Hey guys. I've been a long time lurker of the OC forums, and I can't believe this is my first post here. Anyway, for the past 4 years or so I've been an avid Deathadder user. My current mouse is a DA 2013, and I've been using it for about 2 years. Since I started gaming, my progression was something like Logitech MX510>Logitech MX518>Deathadder 3G->Deathadder 3.5G->Deathadder 4G(2013) and that's where I'm at now.
Games I'm currently playing: CS:GO - Battlefield 4 - League of Legends. I'm mainly an FPS player so sensor precision and accuracy is of utmost importance to me. I play 800 Dpi / 2.0 in-game CSGO sensitivity. My current DA 2013 is starting to wear out.. it still works fine but this mouse has never been my "favorite" of all the previous mice I used. In fact the only reason I got it was because my previous deathadders all developed the double-click fault.. and pretty much since then I've simply just gotten used to the 2013. I am a fan of optical over laser as are most gamers. Currently I am looking at several mice, but not being all that tech savvy with sensors.. the only thing I can go on is reading about what the best sensors usually are.. such as the 3310 and Logitech's 3366. Those options are kind of tailoring what mice I'm looking at purchasing.
The mice I've looked at:
Roccat Kone Pure Military
Steelseries Rival
Finalmouse 2015
Logitech G402 (Mainly because of it's shape, and was recommended by a friend)
Zowie FK2
One of the main reasons I'm looking at ditching my DA 2013 is because it's on the heavier side, and it has this kind of floaty feeling when tracking. My current mouse pad is a Razer Goliathus Control. My grip is a palm/finger-tip hybrid. I never claw. The weight reason is partly why you don't see the G502 on the list, even though it has the best sensor on the market for gaming, or so I'm told. I may be able to be convinced otherwise to get it, regardless of it's hefty weight based on the sensor alone. Basically, I need a mouse with zero acceleration what so ever. Or I should say not any NOTICEABLE acceleration. No smoothing. No angle snapping. None of it. I also need something with good switches, preferably good/positive side buttons. I'm leaning towards the Roccat because I do have smaller hands. Ideally the deathadder has been great for my grip-style.. and I realize the Roccat is smaller than a DA.. but it looks extremely well put together. I'm also looking into the FinalMouse because it's shape looks good to me, but I'm worried about build quality. I need a mouse that's capable of lasting at least a year of steady use.
Of the mouse listed, any help/technical info would be appreciated. Like I said, my main focus is good tracking, high malfunction speed since I do a lot of fast swipes, etc. no prediction, no acceleration. and durability. I'm interested in something with the 3310 sensor or possibly the 3366 if I can be convinced that the weight won't be an issue since I'm used to the DA 2013 already..
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I just realized there is a thread for this, and this post should of went there. If my post could get moved there I'd greatly appreciate it. Sorry about that.
