Looking for a mouse for CS:GO

[TwOne]

So, I have been playing CS:GO for a while, and wanted to start playing seriously. Recently was my birthday, so I decided to put the money I got to a new mouse. I currently use a Logitech M500 Laser mouse, which is nice for Internet browsing and Microsoft Office, but I need a mouse that I can also play CS:GO with well, and feels similar (I use palm grip, and I am right handed). 

 

So I've been looking at these mice (budget is about 30-70 euros):

 

CM Storm Recon (37-39€)

SteelSeries Rival (55-58€)

Razer Deathadder 2013 (~66€)

Razer Deathadder Chroma (~69€) IDK, I really like the lights

Logitech G400s (67-72€) I think these are a dying species, so if it's a really good mouse, I will buy it as quick as I can

 

I have also heard people say positive things about Zowie mice, but I never tried them, and I don't know about the company.

The ones that are available in my country are the FK1 (for 60 euros), EC2 eVo CL (for 58 euros) and EC1 eVo CL (58 euros as well)

What about the g502? I love mine.

G5(4)02?

[Kobrastachka]

deathadder all the way, if you want i will sell you mine for 32.28 euros 

[ZetZet]

Rival is good for the price. G402 is also good. G502 has many features you don't really need in my opinion.

lol, but i do like the deathadder 

[H4X3R]

lol, but i do like the deathadder 

The new one breaks in 6 months......not a single case, there have been many.

Deathadder is extremely overpriced nowadays. And I have 3 friends who had deathadders switched to rivals and one switched to g402 and they loved those mice.

well call me jesus because i am here to save you from over priced death adders

Honestly most of the pros use the Deathadder, Zowie EC1/EC2, Zowie FK1, Steelseries Sensei Raw, or the Logitech G100s. The Zowie mice and the deathadder are well suited to palm grips. The G100s and the Sensei are more suited for small/medium hands or claw grippers.

 

Me personally my Zowie EC1 has been an amazing mouse but I hear great things about the ambidextrous FK1 but if you want a right handed mouse get the EC1 evo CL.

[VulsaviiK]

If you're looking at a Deathadder Chroma you should also consider the new Corsair Sabre Optical

Mines older than that, no issues

light and simple, Logitech g100s.

 

average weight with 2 side buttons, Zowie fk1

 

Heavier with more buttons, Logitech g502.

 

 

Yeah, Zowie mice are quite good, especially the fk1. Zowie mice have the best cords, flexible and quality. The fk1 has the best implementation of the 3310 sensor, which is the premium non propietary sensor. The only issue is Zowie doesn't believe in mouse drivers, so there is no software, so they had to limit your dpi options to 4: 400, 800, 1600, and 3200.

You have the 2013 version i assume. That does not have the problem.

[TwOne]

Thanks for all the quick replies! The reason the G502 is not on my list, because I heard it has acceleration issues (it may be fixed with some new firmware or later models, idk)

 

I prefer Logitech, I've had quite a new of their mice in the past. 

My IRL friends suggest buying the cheapest gaming mouse I can find, but I'm not that stupid. 

 

Also, the G100s may be nice and low cost, but I need the side buttons. I currently have two buttons at my thumb for voice chat and nade switching, and I don't mind having more. 

 

And I really don't care too much about fancy software. As long as I can use 400/800 dpi modes it will be fine.

[atavax]

then yeah, the zowie fk1 is the obvious choice.

[Kobrastachka]

or you could buy my death adder for 32

[Thony]

U play CS:GO but sensitivity is the key, if u like to lift your mouse to make turns then light weight mouse is for u, if u play with high sensitivity the heavy mouse is for u.

[BananaFalcon]

zowie fk1 or g502 or g402 or a corsair fps mouse(forgot the name)

Vengeance M65?

 

Also, what is everyone's opinion on the G400s?

+1

 

I have a g502 and F***ing love it! It has taken over the deathadder as the "Best all around FPS/RTS mouse" In my opinion. 

[SeanBond]

 

Rival is good for the price. G402 is also good. G502 has many features you don't really need in my opinion.

 

haha nice try m8

 

lol "get the death adder, it's the best. I am getting rid of mine." 

[atavax]

The g400s is one of the mice that suffers from excessive smoothing. Ideally you want to avoid it.

Ok, I'm glad someone cleared that up.

 

I might sleep a night over this and then make a decision in the weekend.

It might be a bit controversial, but I do enjoy gaming with my razer naga, especially fps. Once you get used to using the side buttons to change weapons, reload, throw nades and knife it works like a dream and you never have to lift your fingers of the movement keys
