M65, G500s or Deathadder

[cobra6]

So I'm looking to replace my current POS mouse (Microsoft 500 v2.0) for a gaming mouse and I'm looking at the Corsair M65, Razer Deathadder and Logitech G500s. I play mostly FPS (BF4) that's why I'm choosing between these mice. Now the site from where I'm purchasing (alternate, dutch site) has mixed reviews on the G500s, i.e. they say it makes high pitches noises, and is noticeably loud in idle. So has any of you ever had a bad experience with a G500s? Personally I'm leaning towards the M65 because I prefer aluminum over the plastic of the Deathadder. Also does anyone have the M65 or Deathadder? And do you have any issues with it? And what are some of the nice things about these mice?

 

Thanks in advance.

I have tried all of those and I cant use anything but the m65 accurately, so m65

I have 400s and it is fine to me, I assume 500s just have more more button and laser mouse instead of 400s optical sensor.

G500s is beast, deathadder is meh imo and i havent tried the m65

I have used the m65 and just recently sold my g500s. I found the laser on both the g500s and m65 to be very good and had no acceleration issues at all. I got rid of the m65 because I found my grip style to make the "sniper" button virtually useless. I got rid of the g500s because I wanted something just a little bit bigger. I did like the g500s a lot and that third side button was very usefull but when using a mouse all the time I think how it feels in your hand is the most important thing. I now use an xtd and love it, great for man hands. 

 

I dont buy Razer products.

+1 deathhadder

I have no idea about the M65 except that it uses a flawed sensor, and it looks very uncomfortable for me. I'd get the Deathadder if you play FPS. I've held and used a G500 at a friend's house, and I found it to be VERY comfortable. The Deathadder is just as comfortable for me though.

Deathadder is great, i have one.

If you check my post I put up, 2 mins ago (　^ω^) , I have have both the m65 and the deathadder , I am a low sensitivity palm grip type of player, I play some bf4, but mainly other fps like shootmania storm and counter strike. I like the deathadder a lot but for me it's a little light and plasticy really, but the erganomic feel you get (for me anyway) is so much more important and better than the m65 was for my style of holding mice, m65 is for medium to small hands or fingertip grip and claw, m65 is terrible for palming. So how do you rate you hand size and grip style are the main things to decide between the two of those, I like the look of the Logitech mice as well, the g400 looks nicer than the more exppensive 500 imo, ergonomicly, xxx

Ok I have got quiet small hands and I have a fingertip grip, so M65 would be better that way.

Please explain 'flawed sensor'?

Do you know if you can change the 'sniper button' to for example throw a nade or reload?

It's the positioning of the button I found to be shitty for my grip style and or hand. It was to far forward and the button itself is large which is great but the actuation of it was shitty unless you were on it near center.

Ok so the button's not really that good, which is a minus. And any issues with the scrollwheel?

[caloof]

And very minor point for that sniper button on the m65 , IT Rattles when I move the mouse sharply back and forth ,like the button is floating in space and needs 5mm for it to make contact with the accuator ,or switch inside the mouse, and the position like others said is too far forwards,

not at all, I actually did like it a lot. better then the one on the g500s in my opinion but both are perfectly functional.

Ok, I guess i'll have to choose between the G500s and the m65. Thing is ,the reviews talking about the noise issues is putting me off the G500s. And I really don't feel like RMA-ing another product because it's taking quite a while to get a refund/replacement for my AX760.

Do you think the mouse'll be good for a fingertip grip, because that's what I've gotten used to with my current tiny laptop mouse. Maybe I can adapt to a palmgrip when I get a normal-sized mouse.

[BigChimp97]

I personally own the death adder and it's a great mouse, very comfortable and great if you play fps games

[LancerBG]

If its a fingertip grip you use the logitech will be much better for you. the m65 is made for a palm grip which is why the sniper button felt to far forward for me even though I have large hands. Of course anyone can get use to any mouse but the g500s will feel better to start with if you use a fingertip grip.

I honestly think that is the only style I , ME the palm user can use the M65 with, it yeah seems really suited for fingertip actually, it never occurred to me before to mention that =/ haha, i think if the laser sensor  and the sniper button arnt issues for you go for it, but i ave a close eye on buyin a logitech g400s or 500 s myself so, but you to me being smaller handed and fingertip style that the m65 would be better suited bro

[caloof]

^ but try and find a store before you have to RMA something again, thats always important, so veryy very important

Ok i'll guess I'll go and check out the G500s if it's better for a fingertip-grip, so I can move away from my current abomination of a mouse: 

[notaniel101]

I have the deathadder and love it. It works great for me with i guess medium sized hands in a palm grip, or fingertip sometimes for mainly bf4

So now I've got one guy telling me it's good for a fingertip-grip and one guy telling me it isn't  :blink:

Also there are almost no stores here in the Netherlands where they have anything other than random wireless mouses, the odd couple of Razers and a R.A.T.7 to attract attention.

 

EDIT: let alone stores where you can buy hardware like an AX760, I think the market is too small for stores like that to work here.
