    Cable length: 2m/6.6ft
    LOD (Lift-off distance): 1.5-1.8mm
    Polling rate: 125/500/1000hz
     
    Razer DeathAdder Chroma specifications:
    Design: Ergonomic right-handed design with textured rubber side grips
    DPI: 10,000dpi optical sensor

    Compatible Software: Razer Synapse enabled
    Programmability: Five independently programmable Hyperesponse buttons
    Polling: 1000Hz Ultrapolling (Not sure what the different between regular polling and "ultrapolling" is, if there is one.)
    Additional: On-the-fly sensitivity adjustment
    Additional: Always-on mode 
    Acceleration: Up to 300 inches per second*/50g acceleration (*tested on Razer Goliathus Control Edition - Soft Gaming Mouse Mat)
    Additional: Gold-plated USB connector
    Cable: Seven-foot, lightweight, braided fiber cable
    Approximate size specifications: 127mm/5" (Length) x 70mm/2.76" (Width) x 44mm/1.73" (Height)

    System requirements to Razer DeathAdder Chroma:
    PC or Mac with a free USB port
    Windows 10/Windows 8/Windows 7/Mac OS X (v10.8-10.11)
    Internet connection
     
    There are a few things that I am unsure of myself in regards to the Razer. First, why does the Razer DeathAdder Chroma advertise mouse acceleration? Isn't this something that gamers would dislike? Furthermore, I am not exactly sure what "ultrapolling" means other than the fact that the mouse has an "ultra" high polling rate. It does not mention variability in the polling rates. The Razer does, however, indicate a 10,000dpi optical sensor, which means that it could potentially have a DPI range up to 10,000. Moreover, I'm not sure what "Always-on" mode is.
     
    The Zowie FK1 does specify a variability in the DPI (400, 800, 1600, 3200) and the polling rate (125, 500, 1000Hz). From what I understand, gaming mouses generally tend to have a LOD of under 1.5. However the Zowie FK1 indicates that it could be potentially up to 1.8. This is important because if you are moving your mouse across the mousepad at a high velocity, especially in competitive games, it could potentially lift off of the mousepad at a height greater than the LOD (lift-off distance) and therefore stop tracking. 
     
    Aside from the fact that many people also recommend the Zowie FK1, it also utilizes the Avago 3310 sensor, which is highly rated, whilst the the Chroma comes with the Avago ADNS s3988 sensor, which is also very highly rated. The Avago ADNS s3988 of the DeathAdder Chroma is superior performance-wise. However, I would have to recommend the Zowie FK1. Many people complain that the ergonomics of the DeathAdder Chroma is not comfortable and that, realistically, you will not notice a significant difference between the Avago 3310 and the Avago ADNS s3988 sensors. 
     

     
    This is a chart comparing the ADNS-3988 sensor (Avago ADNS s3988, DeathAdder Chroma) and the PMW3310DH (Avago 3310, Zowie FK1). It essentially reaffirms what I stated above.

    Kraze got a reaction from vanished in Any rage stories?   
    I was playing CS:GO and during a really important clutch moment, internet went to 1000 ping and I died. I got so pissed I started yelling things about satan and sodomy in a mix of Indonesian and English. I started hitting my head as well with my the palm of my hand multiple times while smashing my mouse. My parents woke up and I was restricted from playing for the rest of the night

    I recommend the Nixeus Revel. 
     
    It's lighter (85g) than the FK1(90g) or Deathadder (100+ g). 
     
    It has the 3360, so better sensor than the 3310 in the FK1 and the 3989 in the Deathadder (can't say about the implementation, Nixeus is a new player in the mice market). Up to 7 metres per second malfunction speed if it is implemented properly. 
     
    It has a rather generic ODM "safe" shape. 
     
    You have a choice between glossy white or rubber coated black. 
     
    It uses a rubber cable instead of a braided one, so you can make use of that light mass.
     
    Peter, the rep for Nixeus, has stated he personally hand shook every engineering sample for any lens, sensor or scroll wheel rattle.

    Kraze got a reaction from Virgule in GTA Online explanation needed   
    Theres not really an end-game to GTA Online, it just goes on and on till one day where you probably have purchased everything possible; such as all the cars, weapons, yachts and their respective modifications. I started out by just robbing shops. You can also do jobs which are sent to you on your phone but I find them quite boring. If you're lower leveled, hunting people down may be tough because they may have armored vehicles and better weapons than you. What I enjoy doing most in GTA online is just spending time in first person and cruising or parachuting. Trust me, GTA Online is way a better with friends unless you like doing jobs solo and relying on strangers for missions such as heists.
