RAZER Deathadder Elite is (debatably) the best gaming mouse for shooter games and DOTA/LOL.

The Deathadder Elite, with its plastic finish, gives comfort in hitting clicks and you can feel tactile resistance, but not too much.

It's smooth as you move it on a mousepad, and is nice overall. I just got it delivered yesterday, and it defeats my Logitech Proteus (idk which one, but you can jitterclick easily on it)

I don't think any other mouse is better than the Deathadder Elite for the money.

Any mice that you believe to be better than the Deathadder Elite? I don't know any, so I would like to know.

I still prefer the G502. I like the feel of the switches, the unlockable scroll-wheel, the adjustable DPI buttons, for switching between pre-programmed levels in-game, and the programmable buttons. I don't agree with Razer, or their marketing, and their products are generally overpriced, so I'll have to disagree with you.

There's a reason I can't think of many CS, PUBG, R6 (etc...) pro that uses one. FK-13, G403, G502, Finalmouse... There are so many that are as good or better then The deathadder. Too heavy as well as scroll being too light. Personally a 403 user but the EC-2 and Finalmouse are my second and third pick for best. Deathadder is maybe top 15...

The Razer deathadder is trash imo. I've had two of them break in two years (one for each year). Their quality is abysmal. Logitech is where it's at, especially the G502.

Normally, for their keyboards and laptops, truly yes.

But after the G502 Proteus spectrum and the Deathadder, I personally think that the Deathadder wins this.

Mhm, the G502 is durable? Should have told me that before giving it away to my friend.

Yeah Logitech mouses last for ages compared to Razers. My G700s still is good to go.

I used to be a Razer fanboy (had keyboard, mouse+mousepad, headset) but that was then and this is now. 

 

After all the changes to my rig and setup, Deathadder Elite remains. I'm not claiming it's better than the G502 - it's build quality is probably worse and it's less durable. The thing about that mouse is, it seems to be made for my hand. I have tried few other mice and the thought of putting my hand on them after 10 hours at the office just made me cringe. There is something about the way it's profiled, the weight and the spacing of the side buttons that just does it for me. I feel like my hand is actually resting.

 

It's not the perfect mouse and far from being the best. But it's the best I tested for my needs and as such I will stand behind everyone who uses it provided they also feel like it's the best fit for them. If you have tried other mice and have come to realise that Deathadder is the one for you, kudos and have fun with it. If you have not attempted to try others but went there because of the Razer logo, then you deserve all the criticism you are getting.

Yeah, this one I've had over a year and it's still going strong. Around the six month mark my razer "mice" (plural) would either start double clicking on a single click, the scroll wheel would become janky, or the rubberized siding would be ripping off.

 

IMO the only thing the DeathAdder had over the Logitech is comfort. The DeathAdder is an A+ for comfort, the g502 is just an A.

I've had my deathadder for a few years now. It didn't break, it still works great. I heard so many great things about the G502 that i really wanted to try it out. After 4 months the cable started pushing through the braiding. It folded in itself in the cable. And the scroll wheel got loose and i couldnt get it out of the infinite scroll mode anymore.

And i see a lot of people hating on Razer cuz Razer on these forums. And the point that someone else made of "I hardly see any pro players use the deathadder" If you look at any list of pro gamers, on OW, CS and probably some others. Tons of them still use the deathadder. And sorry but, i only found on or two that used a logitech mouse.
In terms of build quality and comfort for me personally the deathadder better than the G502.
