Cant decide which one

How big are your hands? (from base of palm to tip of middlefinger) How do you hold your mouse? Do you claw, fingertip or palm grip? Do you care about customizing colors of the LEDs?

I'd say Steelseries Rival if you palm and have 19cm or larger hands. 

 

I have 19cm long hands, and I can't palm the DA without overreaching the right button so much that it really hurts after a few clicks. 

 

Here's a picture of me palming the Rival.

Woahhhh, I gotta weigh in here. I'm gonna to change my mind about the DA.

 

Initially I thought it was hot sauce, now I pretty much hate it. Be very very weary of your grip style as you can pretty much only palm, or close to, the death adder. The sides are very slippery, even with the rubberized grips, and the build quality is terrible. Try and get an m65 or a taipan instead

 

Then give steelseries your money for a mousepad.

The Deathadder is made to be comfortable, and the Rival is made straight up ergonomical. :)

I'm not sure what you mean by that?
