Help me decide!

[Techstorm970]

So, after 9 months of frequent use, my Cooler Master Devastator II mouse has crapped out on me, as the scroll wheel is starting to fail.  Tried cleaning the wheel, and it didn't fix the problem.  So, I'm now looking for a new, better, more durable/reliable mouse to replace it before the wheel becomes unusable.  However, I am having trouble choosing a mouse from a list of four:

 

Steelseries Rival 100

Corsair Sabre

Cougar Revenger

Razer DeathAdder Chroma

 

The Rival is $30.  The other three are $50.

 

Now, I am leaning towards the Rival due to its cheaper price tag, and the fact that it received the HardwareCanucks Dam Good Value award.  Although...all of these mice have gotten good reviews across the board, so idk.  Is there anything about any of the $50 mice that you guys would say is worth an extra $20 over the Rival 100?

 

Also, if you guys have any suggestions outside of these mice, let me know.  My price range is $30-$50.  I don't want to spend any more than $50 on a mouse, but I also don't want to go too cheap and get another mouse with a one-year lifespan.  Also, I would really like my next mouse to have RGB or at least blue lights so that it can match the blue backlights on my Devastator II keyboard.

i would go for SteelSeries 100 out of your list, avoid razer if you want quality.

Razer's keyboards are amung the best quality, but in terms of mice, they're garbage.

Get g402 the best fps mouse imo its simple,comfortable and accurate

Got your recommendation, watched a couple of videos, and oooooh boy this decision just got tougher!  I admit I've turned into a bit of a Logitech fanboy over the past year or two.

So your sample size is horribly lacking. Neither are particularly good keyboards. They both fall somewhere into "painfully average" and "bad."

Do you dislike my recommendation because of no RGB?

I didn't dislike it.  It was a decent option.  But yes, the no RGB thing was a weakness.  Otherwise, the high pricetag compared to the Steelseries Rival 100 and Logitech G402 mice, as well as its somewhat smaller size, are what killed it.  (I have big hands.)  Then, after that, @nerdslayer1 endorsed the G402.  Logitech G402 wins!

The sensor justifys the price over all the other mice.. 

I wouldn't call no RGB a weakness but oh well

enjoy your 402

The censor is not something that I'm worried about.  I was honestly happy with the Devastator II's censor, no matter how crappy it actually is.  I'm more focused on build quality, reliability, and durability, which are things that both the Rival and G402 really seemed to deliver on the most.  Also, I have been impressed by the Logitech M510, which is a regular consumer mouse, that I use for my laptop. (I hate trackpads.)  So, with all these people endorsing Logitech, combined with my personal experience with Logitech mice, I had to go with the G402.

I LOVE the Ornata.

Yes. And a man who has only eaten ramen his whole life would probably love a McDonald's cheeseburger. That doesn't make McDonald's cheeseburgers good.
