Heya, I have been looking for a mouse and I really can't decide what to get so I'm looking for some advice on here.

 

The main requirement is that it's white & good for FPS games, the amount of buttons doesn't matter to me, it can be wired,wireless. I prefer lighter mice but anything ~110 grams and below is fine.

My hand dimensions are 

Length: 20cm, width 10cm.

I appreciate any advice, thank you.

Thanks for the advice, appreciate it. I wish the Deathadder v2 had a white edition! The Deathadder essential comes in white. Any knowledge of the differences between it and the elite?

The essential is basically the budget version of the elite version by limiting some features to make the mouse cheaper and more affordable

The Elite has a PMW3389, the V2 has a PMW3399, while the Essential has an SDNS-3988 sensor. The Elite and V2 sensors are both top-performing, and nearly identical in performance. The Essential has a slightly older sensor, which still performs well, but does lose tracking if you swipe too fast. Apart from sensors, the Elite and V2 have DPI buttons, while the Essential does not. 

 

Your best bet would be to look around Best Buy or Amazon for a DA Elite. They've been going for as low as $25 new recently, due to the new V2 launch.

The essential is pretty much a toned-down version of the elite. Not necessarily bad though. It has a maximum dpi of 6400- you don't need any more, but the switches are only durable to 10 million clicks, comapred to the elites 50 million, and 16k DPI. Both are solid mice though, and can be bought for like $25 for the elite on amazon (found it once for $20) - and the essential is actually mroe right now. $39 to the $25 for the deathadder elite. 

 

Hope this helps! I do though, Reccomened the deathadder elite generally, for the price and duability, mamba elite for rgb/high end wired, basklisk v2 for ergonomics, ect. ect ect. 

I am NOT a professional and a lot of the time what I'm saying is based on limited knowledge and experience. I'm going to be incorrect at times.

The DPI doesn't really matter on sensors, but the Elite does have a better sensor, being less prone to lose tracking.

Yes- But on amazon the elite is cheaper than the white essential (and maybe the stock black)

For fingertip grip the Model O

 

Honestly, the Model O and model O- are probably the best lightweight mice on the market currently, so I'd definitely suggest you look at these. I just picked up a Model O and love its feel and weight.

Also, the Logitech Gpro Wireless has some incredible wireless capabilities, better than anything on the market (although razer are catching up) but some may have double click issues, as do basically all their wireless mice (I've gone through 2 G903s so far with this issue).

Otherwise, the razer viper ultimate is the next best lightweight wireless mouse.
