My firest generation deathadder have developed too many faults for me to continue using it, random double clicks and a scroll whell that just barely works right anymore. I really like the deathadder shape, but i also very much dislike the new deathadder mice, i tried the Chroma out and compared to the old Deathadder it feels extremely cheap.


The 2 mice i have taken a look at are the Logitech G403 and the Zowie EC2-A, both seem to have a very simlar shape to the deathadder, anyone havev any good or bad experiences with these mice? 

 

Im kinda leaning towards the EC2-A, the only thing i dislike about the mouse is the fact that you cant disable the light in the scroll wheel, im guessing since it shows the dpi levevl.

Can't really comment on the G403, But I have a G402 and G502 and they have both been fantastic.  My last razer mouse only lasted about 6 months before I started having misclicks both my logitech mice are around 2 years old and haven't had an issue with either.

I have heard good things about the quality of logitechs mice, just not 100% sold on the shape.
