g502 vs death adder

[Mantheturret]

so the g502 and the death adder are both at the same price atm but idk which one to buy, ill be doing FPS like CS:GO but not really competitive, and ive heard very good reviews of both but ive also heard that razer products break so i have no idea which one to go on for this

I would go for a Zowie EC-A Series instead of the deathadder

Now g502, many say its too damn heavy for fps games  but some like it, its honestly down to your likes

IF you love rgb lighting the Fnatic flick G1 or rival 300 is nice as well

Without weights

Personally i think its eh, i've used it before and its what you can say "OK" for fps shooters, but just as an casual gaming mouse its really nice

I love my G502, one of my favourites that I have owned over the years, I personally like its weight and even added a couple extra as I dont like light mice

I've been Razer biased from day one. Now, you say that Razer products brake, but honestly, don't all products brake? The only reason Im not using my DeathAdder right now is because I may or may not have run over the usb connection with my chair. . . 

 

Razer support is fast, knowledgeable, and helpful. Even if you do brake something, as long as you registered the product through Razer Synapse, Razer's proprietary software for hardware tuning, then you can can have pretty much thrown the thing out the window and they will still send you a new one.

Their support is great, i've gone through a great RMA

But their products in terms of build quality compared to other gaming prehiphrial companies are just bad

+1 on the G502. I have all of the weights inside it, and I love it. I mostly play CSGO, and it has never let me down- Skill has, but never the mouse.

It depends on what you are exactly looking for, while the G502 is the technically better option, the DA on the other might enable better "real world" performance due to its lower weight.

 

The best compromise would imo be the G402, it is as responsive as the G502 and lighter than the DA, only downside are the lower FPS and smaller array, which only affects you if you use above 2080cpi though, not to mention that its price to performance ratio cant be beaten.

 

If possible find a place where you can try the shapes to decide between the 3.0 like(which is Deathadder , EC1, Rival, 550m, etc.) and the Logitech shapes.
