CydiaDash

As the title states... D.A 2013, S.S Rival or G502? I would love to hear your guys' opinions on these mice - please list your preference from 1 to 3 :) . I use the claw grip if that helps. I play mainly FPS games like Battlefield and CS:GO. Thanks in advance guys :P

I was actually leaning towards the rival, so I'm glad to see I'm not the only one rooting for it :P

to the dude saying razer garbage, the deathadder (like it or not) is actually one of the best mice out there, razer doesnt cheap out on that thing

 

but more on topic, any of those mice will suffice perfectly, theyre all top of line mice :)

I would suggest trying out the G502 before buying. It has a unique design that doesn't fit all hands. I think it feels absolutely terrible.

Razer still lands as the bottom on my list for build quality. It's still got button pretravel issues as well.

G502 is probably the best in terms of quality, though my personal preference would be the Rival. If you have a Best Buy nearby, all 3 of these will be on display.

Never owned Rival so cant compare it. Had deathadder 2012.

1. 502 (my current mouse, played CS:GO and BF4 with it)
2. Razer (had the mouse from 2012-2014)

G502 feels slightly better in hand. Is little heavier but nothing to affect your aiming. I use claw grip too :) 

Absolutely love the thumb rest and free-spinning wheel !

Deathadder now feels and looks like a freaking toy compared to G502. Its so plasticy.

You can't go wrong with the Rival. I have one and I can say it's a nice mouse for FPS's. Not sure how it handles Claw grip though... I feel it's a better mouse for Palm or Fingertip.

But the Deathadder is a great choice aswell.

 

I don't like the looks and shape of the G502 (personal opinion).

I would say the G502 is the best one for claw gripping. I use the G402, which is really similar, and it works pretty well when claw gripping. The Rival and DeathAdder are more for palm and fingertip grippers, because they are heavily based off of classic Microsoft mice.

 

My personal list:

1. G502

2. Deathadder 2013 

3. Rival 

 

The Deathadder 2013 and Rival are pretty close in my list though, the G502 dominates them though.

Out of those three it simply comes down to preference, and since we are making Lists, here is mine:

 

1. DA Chroma, due to better Cursorfeel and slightly better shape than Rival, feels more nimble to me

2. Rival, one of the worst 3310 i have seen, but more than good enough

3. G502, is the last simply because of its weight
