Wait a little for the Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum

Watch this video.

 

And answer these questions:

 

1. What's your hand size?
2. How do you hold the mouse?
3. What games do you play?
4. How competitive are you?
5. What's your budget?

 

@RJMproductions Follow your topics too.

I own the Logitech G303 which is severely under-rated considering it has a great sensor and its RGB. It's more simple than all the complexity's of the G502.

tl:dr:  No.  Buy something else, like a Mionix Naos 7000 or Mionix Avior 7000, depending on the shape you want.

 

----------------------------------------

 

Most gaming mice are pretty similar.  But when you get into the world of gaming mice, you're paying for two things to differentiate the mice from each other:  sensor quality, and features (like lots of programmable buttons, onboard memory to store mouse profiles, colored LEDs, wireless capability, etc).

 

A mouse with:

>> good sensor, and low features:  ~$40

>> good sensor, moderate features:  ~$70

>> good sensor, and every feature they could cram in there:  above $100

 

The Razer Deathadder Chroma is a mouse with a good sensor, low features (only colored LEDs), and costs $60-$70.  It's overpriced for what you get.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Now, that's what you pay for.  But the most important part of buying a mouse is the comfort of that mouse.  

 

If you're open to different shapes that are all comfortable for right-handed mouse users, you have lots of options.  Logitech G303;  Logitech G502 Proteus Core;  Steelseries Rival 100 (not the 300);  Mionix Naos 7000 (not 8200).  Mionix Avior 7000 (not 8200).  

 

The $80 Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum (upgrade from the G502 Proteus Core, by addition of RGB lighting) is a pretty solid choice.  Good sensor, and every feature you could think of. It's a very solid mass-market choice.   It's like wanting a tablet, and buying an iPad.  You can buy them everywhere, lots of people own & love them, and nobody can really fault you for buying a very solid choice.  

 

The $47 Logitech G303 is a great (superior) alternative to the Razer Deathadder Chroma.  Good sensor on it, basic mouse features, colored LED lighting, onboard memory

 

The $55 Mionix Naos / Avior 7000 (not the 8200) are fantastic mice.  The only difference between the two is the shape.  The Mionix Naos 7000 is more contoured for right-handed users, whereas the Mionix Avior 7000 is ambi-dexterous like the Razer Deathadder.  Absolutely fantastic sensor, moderate features (programmable buttons, onboard memory, colored LED lighting).  Many hardcore mice nerds consider the Mionix Naos 7000 to be the best mouse you can buy, out of any mouse out there.

 

 

By comparison the $60 Razer Deathadder Chroma uses a decent sensor, low features (colored LEDs).  It doesn't even have onboard memory... which it tries to play off on its website as "No longer limited by last generation onboard device memory, Razer Synapse brings the brain of the Razer DeathAdder Chroma to the cloud..."  That is code for a requirement to install & run, and the fact that they wanted to save on manufacturing expense by omitting the memory.

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

The final variable is software.  All of these mice use mouse configuration software that just about does the same thing... configure DPI, USB polling rate, button configurations, etc.  All of the mice I mentioned allow you to store profiles onto onboard mouse memory, which means you don't need to be running the mouse software in the background.  The Razer Deathadder Chroma, with its "not-limited by onboard memory, and going to the cloud" does require you run their software.

 

And on top of that, their software is TERRIBLE.  It's intrusive, requires to be online and create a Razer profile.  And when it misbehaves (which it does from time to time), it will run a single CPU core at 100%.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Long story short, skip the Razer Deathadder Chroma. It's has only basic "good enough" performance you can find in any mouse;  advertise / sell on flashy colored LEDs;  and then sell it to you at a premium.  You can do a lot better for your money.  And their mouse software is terrible when it misbehaves.

 

And this is coming from a guy who owns a Razer Deathadder, Razer Orochi, and typing on a Razer Blade laptop.
