I've just bought a Deathadder to replace my piece of shit double clicking Logitech mouse. Apparently Razer are one of the only companies making mice with optical click sensors instead of mechanical, and don't suffer from the problem as a result. (Should note that they haven't always been that way, so older Razer mice might still have the problem...)I'm tempted to go full gamer crunk and get a keyboard too.Show me your gamer peripherals fags.
Got this little fuckler. I think I've had it for about 2 and half months so far and I'm liking it. It's my first wireless mouse. I had the G502 Hero before this which I really liked but was getting tired of it being wired.
>>721629224I bought a new one recently and I vowed never to buy one again. Every razer mouse I have owned breaks with the scroll wheel. My razer naga completely self destructed when my power went out, even though my stuff was connected to a surge protector
>>721629958Really? I'm getting a wireless one.>>721629941That's pretty cute. How is it?
I have a Deathadder V3 Pro, that already has the optical sensor, so no double clicking but the scorll wheel went to shit really fast, like literally unusable, if you tried to scroll it scrolled up and down at the same time and mostly it just stayed in place. Ended up replacing the scroll wheel encoder to TTC Gold that I got from aliexpress for literal pennies. The catch was that I had to do the soldering myself, and I doubt it's an option to many people. Anyway, ever since then the mouse has been perfect, but seriously fuck Razer, I should have to do shit like this for the price they ask for their stupid mice.
>>721630671Feels good so far. It's a lot lighter than my previous mouse so that's a nice change, plus I like the design. It gives me early Alienware vibes. It charges stupid quick too but Idk if that's the software just lying to me. Either way the battery life is pretty good. I think I've charged it maybe 3-4 times in the 2 1/2 months I've owned it.
kone aimo cuz big handsthe extra button at the bottom takes a bit to get used to but it works fine
>>721629224what deathadder? the old deathadders use mechanical switches and the v3 uses optical i think
>>721629224?? i had a deathadder and it double clicked like a motherfucker, you fucked up
Got this on the Logitech charging mousepad
>>721631562Deathadder V3 Pro is the one I've ordered. It was pretty heavily discounted. Explicitly says it has optical switches.>>721630878Scroll wheel has me worried now. Christ.>>721630884That is decent. How is the tracking?
>>721629224Razer Huntsman V2 analog, Deathadder V3 30k dpi wired, Logitech G Pro X wired.I am quite content with my peripheral choices.
>>721630878I've been using a Deathadder V3 Pro Wireless for probably more than two years now and even the scroll wheel still works. I actually don't think any other mouse has lasted for me this long.
Its 2025 and people are still buying Razer shit?
>>721629224Fuck Razer. I had a Deathadder v2, it was a decent mouse that lasted for a good while but eventually started double clicking. I wasn't mad, I wanted to buy another one. Their v3/v4 models have FEWER BUTTONS than the v2 for no fucking reason. Trash company. I went with a g502 instead because I refuse to break the bank for a mouse. The g502 button placement is really bad, but I've gotten used to it.
>>721629224Can anyone recommend me a quieter switch than this pos, is huano tbspd any good ?
>>721629224Razer is the only mouse brand that lasted for me, competitors trash all double click.Of course it's all optical.I wouldn't boughtening mechanical trash ever in my life.
Not a mouse but I recently bought this chink gamecube controller and for some reason it has optical switches on the face buttons and D-Pad.
>>721629224I've had a V2 for a year or two and it's still pretty good, but of all things my middle mouse button double clicks occasionally. It's pretty rare, and only noticeable when I open two new tabs at once, but it's funny.
>>721632015Nice. Mine literally just arrived. I was using a Logitech G203 (wanted something a bit fancier this time too) and holy shit, it's so light and smooth comparatively. I hope the wheel doesn't shit itself on me. Feels like a good mouse.
>>721631695>wireless
>>721629224*scroll wheel shits out on you*
I've been using a razer naga wireless.. epic? From 2020. At around 5 years old it's the longest surviving raze product I've ever used. Sometimes the side buttons don't work and I have to take on and off the magnetic button panel to fix it. The scroll wheel has started to double click sometimes, I notice it when using scroll wheel clock to open a window in a new tab, it will open two tabs. But this happens seldomly and overall it's not broken enough for me to replace it. I also don't use their bloatware synapse software.
>>721630878>>721632015V3 Bros, did you use the grippy stickers that came with it?
Funny I see this thread, my Deathadder Essential wheel is just starting to crap out on me. Previously I had the DA 2013 and the scroll wheel on that also failed
I'm also using a Deathadder Essential and while I like its ergonomics the wheel has gone to shit after two years, whenever i try to scroll up or down it takes multiple registrations into either direction so yeah it's practically dead. I got it for dirt cheap on Ali but yeah.
>>721629224>buy new deathadder years ago>scroll wheel shits itself after half a year>warranty replacement >"new" mouse has buttons that feel so worn down it's like they had been used nonstop for a decade Why do people buy razer shit?
>top sensor>top shape>no double click>good scroll>good buttons>good skates>60g>$30anything more is bloat
>>721632637Honestly I can't stand a mouse that's too light I think they feel cheap and shitty. I've been using a g703 for like 2-3 years now and loving it.
>>721633213>pic unrelated
>>721631756>Scroll wheel has me worried now. Christ.Hope for the best, maybe you will get lucky like this anon >>721632015 but seems to be a rather common issue when I was searching for a solution.>>721632848I didn't, to be honest I don't even remember it coming with that. Not that I miss it, I think it's perfectly fine without it.
>>721629224Keychron K1 ProI use a viper 8k wired mouse
>>721629224I'm locked into Razer because i'm used to the shape of the mouse. But I also had my razer mouse wheel break a few months ago. I'm on my 2nd razer mouse now and there's something wrong with the cable that makes the mouse reconnect mid games if I move it too much. Solved the issue with tape.
>>721632653I don't play conpetitiveslop nor have I ever been good enough to blame 2ms delay for my losing
>>721629224Every chink company is making mice with optical sensors, Razer just happens to charge out the ass for them and has absolutely noxious software.
>>721633213>no double clickDoubt.
ive used logitech gaming mice for 20+ years and also use logitech normal mice at work for the past idk 10 years or so and i've never once had a double clicking mouseevery time i see these threads it's always someone complaining about logitech double clicking, idk if i'm just lucky or it's a you-people-problem
>>721633364Seriously, for a brand that sells so expensive peripherials, issues like this are way too common. I like the designs, and when thinks work they are amazing, but the quality is absolute dogshit and fuck them for cheaping out on this.
>double clicking>open mouse>open switch>clean contacts>reassembleIt takes 10 fucking minutes. If you don't know how to handle a screwdriver, post tits or gtfo.
I have had a wireless Deathadder V2 for a while and like it. The new wireless Razers do not have onboard memory on the mouse though which is pretty lame because that means you have to have their computer app open for your light/sensitivity profiles. I think V2 and before have onboard memory so I set the DPI steps on it and closed the program forever.
>>721629224Razer has worse build quality than 2 dollar aliexpress mice
>>721633510You're just lucky. It's an incredibly common issue and there is literally nothing you can do about it. It's a weakness of the mechanics it was designed.
>>721633510Double clicking is the stick drift of PC gaming, shit only happens to retards who don't treat their equipment well.
>>721633510you are blessed by God
>>721629224Keychron K10 Pro, I hate anything below 100%, 80-60-whatever% is for gay manchildrenmy mouse is a Logitech G203 Prodigy and while I love the little guy for a budget gamer, the scrollwheel on these fuckers is a time bomb, it's only a matter of time until it swells up and can't be used anymore. I've been planning to get a chink copy of a superlight or similaranyone have any suggestions?
>>721633685Bullshit.
>>721633364What shape, because Deathadder is similar to Zowie which has a decent number of shape clones.
>>721633685In both cases it's a manufacturing or design defect, retard. There's no way to treat self-lubricating plastics "well", the operating principle is killing itself slowly.
>>721633234The heaviest I've used is probably the Logitech MX2S. It was a great productivity mouse but one day it just died on me. I agree light feels cheap, but it's just shocking how much lighter a wireless mouse can be than a wired one.>>721633324Pic related on the stickers btw.>>721633729I'm tempted to get a TKL because I'm a gay manchild.
>>721633951>the operating principle is killing itself slowly.That applies to everything in the fucking universe you retard
>>721634013>There's no way to treat self-lubricating plastics "well"You don't get to ignore this part, retard. It doesn't stop being true.
>>721634013See the OP, optical switches don't do this. There's a reason why high-end peripherals are all moving towards contactless sensors.
>>721633818i'll try zowie next time then, once my wheel breaks again
I got the Cobra because it was cheap and had optical clicks, and almost 2 years later still no double click problems BUT the scroll wheel went to shit pretty fast and the side buttons are not optical so they now sometimes double/no click.It's fucking crazy though, I still have my old 20+ year Microsoft Intellimouse and it works perfectly fine. The planned obsolescence with mice is REALLY bad now
>>721634319Don't try Zowie, they suck now. Just look up the modern lightweight clones. In the future there's bound to be more.
>>721634319100$+ zowie s2 started double clicking within 6 months, and the clicks have absolutely no weight tolerance so you can't even rest your fingers without it clicking
>>721634517That old intellimouse was great, but make no mistake it was an outlier.
>>721634517You say>bad nowbut Razer's always been known to be fucking trash for quality.
>>721629224>replaced double clicking piece of shit with double clicking piece of shitgood job retard
>>721634582>>721634651alight then, thanks
keychron m5 mouse and monsgeek fun60 tmr kbthis is legitimately the best you can buy right nowthe mouse is more comfy since it's vertical and it has the best sensor on the marketi was thinking of maybe buying one of those turbolight mice but idk if shaving off 80g will offset the shit shapethe keyboard is on par with those top tier wooting boards because it's tmr but i fucking hate hate HATE the softwarei'm waiting for someone to shove tmr into a dactyl so i can get a sidegrade that's more comfy to use
>>721632653Wireless is a non issue these days, latency times are basically nothing.
>>721634995this mini keyboard shit with no space or functions is the most retarded trannoid psyop ever
>>721633380>2mstry 0.3msnone of the actual luddites bitching about wireless even have a mouse than come even close in latency to top tier shit
>>721633975I can understand TKL desuI'd rather have it because I use it, but I get that some people don't. But i'll never understand removing Fn keys.
>>721635402they're programmableyou have all of it backF keys do fucking nothing 99.99% of the timeyou just press fn+number bararrows the only keys you'll really miss and i have programmed them into caps+wasd and it's more comfortable than moving your hand off the home row ever was
>>721635484I'd rather just buy a separate 10 key pad and get the desk real estate back. Maybe it's a low sens thing.
>>721635809more like a desk problem, my desk is big enough to accomodate both my 100% keyboard and all the space I need for my mouse.
>>721635681or I can press a button
>>721635458you're sorting by wired click latency but the ordering isn't even ascending? the mice at the bottom should be further up
>>721635484I figure, if I ever end up needing a keypad, you can buy them separately quite easily. I don't need one for my daily use.>>721635073The latency is pretty much identical, and wireless is probably better these days for avoiding cable resistance.
>>721636121it's sorted by expected connection
>>721635681Oh my god. So it's designed for retarded computer illiterates who don't use their keyboards properly? That makes sense now.I use my F-keys daily. Maybe even hourly.I probably use my Page Up/Home/End keys more than arrow keys. And definitely more than some lower-frequency letters like Q and X. So should we just get rid of Q and X? You can just copy/paste from the Unicode library when you need them, right retard?And anyone who doesn't use the numpad when typing in 3+ digit numbers is just wrong and dumb.
>>721636093you press two buttons instead of one on the 0.1% of keystrokes spent on the f keys
>>721636679>hourlyso you admit they're niche?
>>721629958can confirm the wheel also broke on BOTH my deathadders.stupid good mouse for FPS gamers though no doubt.
>>721637032OP here, I guess there's no perfect mouse eh. Kinda sucks.
Who uses optical switches other than Razer?
>>721637748Most of the modern chink mice do. Asus, Scyrox, Lamzu, Pulsar, Teevolution. For non-chink options, I think Pwnage does.
>>721638585Why are the Chinese ahead on mice? Seems weird.
>>721638883Controllers too.
Any new developments in the MMO mouse space?I got a Razer Naga back in 2012 and I can't live without the numpad on the sideI've been through a bunch of different ones, and my current wireless naga is starting to shit itself
>>721639021That's true - their controllers are pretty solid. I'm using an 8bitdo ultimate. It was cheap, came with a charging dock, hall sticks, wifi dongle, and cost less than a microsoft controller with literally nothing else.
>>721636835or I can press one button
>>721629224Now get an optical keyboard. The true gamer endgame. Somehow people psyoped themselves into buying chink keyboards like keychron and cheap chink offbrand switches with cool names.Witg optical there is less latency, keys last longer, and they can make the key actualize higher up as well as adjust the actuation point using the software
>>721639386I saw these because I was browsing razer's products. Are their optical keyboards nice?
>>721639386they're shit and patented by razerno, tmr keyboards is where the endgame isthe market is just in its infancy where only monsgeek offers them
why the fuck wont razer sell a viper V3 wired?>hyperspeed cheaper wireless version>has to use AA batteries>no USB-C port at the front so people could just use it wired without battery
>>721639201logicool g600 on ebay
>>721629224>my mouse is double clicking>instead of soldering a new switch and extend it's life for countless years i'll buy a new one and waste the entire mouseretards these days
>>721639356the point is not to press as few buttons as possible but to have better ergonomics so pressing them feels more naturala keyboard where you're moving your hand around doesn't have that but a 60% dactyl does
>>721629224i only get the cheapest last time i spent more it was not better and it started to fail around the same amount of time
>>721639386Optical keyboards are old. No reason to get them anymore.>>721639671They're not patented by Razer. Wooting did them before anyone, but Wooting's moved off of optical onto HE. Other analog keyboards are TMR. Magnetic is clearly the way to go.
>>721640371>Optical keyboards are oldYou can barely find one compared to mechanical keyboards, how are they old? lmao
>>721637748Doesn't Logitech's G502x have optical switches?
>>721640371>>721640537I don't remember optical keyboards being a thing until I looked at peripherals recently. Are they actually good? I'm kind of tempted to go full Razer pony and get a keyboard with either yellow switches or optical switches.
>>721640981Razer makes notoriously shit keyboards. Never forget when they tried to sell people a 2KRO keyboard.
>>721640981no, they're notoptical is already redundant in the face of tmr
>>721641301>2KROFucking seriously? lolAre they that bad? Am I better off just getting a keychron or ducky or something?
>>721637015I wouldn't call something I use several times daily "niche" and I certainly wouldn't want to get rid of them and force it to be two button presses that I now have to look at my keyboard for and take my eyes off the screen. But hey, if you want to be retarded, be my guest.
>>721641565can you not touch type?
I use a corsair keyboard, works pretty good and their software is comparable to what I get on my razer mouse.
>>721629224Logitech is using optical switches in some of their mice now too. The issue isn't really mechanical vs optical but that they just started using cheap low quality mechanical switches. It wasn't an issue 15+ years ago from what I remember.Anyway you have to wonder if they're only using them on the clicks and not the side buttons and scroll wheel which can have the same issues. >>721633510It wasn't an issue with the older ones. My MX510/518 never double clicked, but my G203 started double/triple pressing on the side buttons after a few years and the scroll button stopped working. It just depends on your luck, obviously not every mouse is going to have the problem. But it shouldn't be happening as much as it is if they just used better switches.
Don't have a double clicking issue but my Deathadder V2 lost the wheel click and one of the side buttons in 2-3 months. The one I had before that also had the wheel stop working not long after I bought it.It's a shame Razer mice implode at random because I do quite like their feel and I never found another brand that's just as good but reliable.
>>721629224Holy shit ! are you me!?> Same OG Logitech Mouse> Same double clickin' bullshit> Same exact replacement
>>721630878I bought the Deathadder v3 pro but it was a bit to big for me to the point it started hurting my hands. I got the Hyperspeed instead and I was surprise by how good it was and that it didn't require batteries like the other Hyperspeed line up.
Recommendation for an MMO mouse? My G600 is starting to show its age and I'm thinking of getting a new mmo mouse.
>>721629224My issue with the deathadder was that I kept digging with my thumbnail into the side padding because I had a fucked-up claw grip on the thing. I ended up busting two sets of padding and my thumb started to hurt. I don't play sweaty multiplayer games so I truly don't give a shit about latency. I ended up buying a basilisk while looking for a phone charger at an electronic store and so far the thumb rest feels nice and I haven't dug into the cushion yet.Also as a complete aside I fucking hate the look of 90% of gaming mouse and while razer certainly isn't innocent of the crime of turning computer hardware into an epilepsy-inducing nightmares of flashing LEDs and overly agressive shapes I would give credit to the deathadder for being relatively restrained.
I like big mices because can't into claw grip
>>721629224Razer is kino. I love my Halo Infinite x Razer keyboard and mouse. It's a Deathadder V2 and a Blackwidow V3. The headset however is trash, it doesn't maintain a good wireless connection.
>>721629224>my piece of shit double clicking Logitech mousemy G400s started double clicking after 10 years.Did that thing on the video and it has been 2 years and no problems.https://youtu.be/2sh7KwUudtI?si=Hia8Eypm5BN-hy-cBuying a whole new mouse because of double clicking is a scam or sheer stupidity.doing this fix is a pain in the ass if you don't have some good pliers tho.
>>721647787https://youtu.be/eDoXMJyimDU?si=cfBW-BjiMCwHIICEthis one is good too.
>>721647606I feel like every wireless gaming headset just sucks balls. I have a steel series arctis 3 and its also garbage with its connection.
>>721647787unfortunately, mouse feet are never the same after being peeled off
>>721641480Yes really.If you have a shit ton of cash to throw around I’d go Wooting. I’ve had a Ducky as a work keyboard but it had QC issues, some scuffs and a broken LED on one of the keys. Dunno about Keychron but word seems positive.
>>721630878had the same problemI will never buy logitech or razor because their mice are made like utter shit.I wasn't able to get a good mouse until I found some niche chink company that actually gave a shit about the quality. It's been smooth sailing for like 6 years with that mouse now, and it cost less than logitech/razor garbage.
>>721633213>only two extra mouse buttonsYeah I bet you use a controller too
>>721632371I bought 3 g502's (not all for myself, for other people) and every one of them developed problems with the scroll wheel. These companies purposefully skimp on the scroll wheel and it makes their mice worthless
>>721648551Why would you need more buttons on the mouse when you have a whole keyboard?
>Razer sucks>Logitech sucks>Random smaller brands suck>Chink mice suckso what do you use then
>>721633380wireless has lower latency than wiredit used to not be the case because shitty companies made shitty network stacks that introduced retarded amounts of latencyNow companies use proper network stacks and the speed of light through the air is faster than the speed of electricity through copper by a significant amount. You always get lower latency with proper wireless than with cabling until interference happens or you have a shitty network stack.
>>721648213Seems that way. Because the Razer Kraken V2 I have sounds better, and works better than that Halo one despite being more than half the price of the wireless one. Pic related
>>721648329I didn't even put it back on, haven't felt much difference.You can always make/buy new ones.Also, I bought a mouse from HyperX a year ago, started double clicking in 6 months, sent it back for replacement and the new one started again in less than a month, I'm never buying a new mouse again, if my G400 breaks I will just stop using computers. fuck everything.
>>721638883they aren't building in obsolescence in their mice, the big western companies arechinks make all the western mice too, but the western designed mice are designed to break and force you to buy a new mouse. The chink companies aren't doing that, they design the mouse to work forever and when you buy it that's what you get.
>>721648748the chink mice don't suck
>>721648213everything wireless suck balls, I am either cursed or my body has some kind of magnetic field that fucks up batteries, all of my phones/earbuds/power banks and other things get bad EXTREMELY quickly, even though I take the utmost care.
>>721648791now let us see the mean latency and standard deviation when one or more buttons are pressed
>>721648473What brand?
>>721649381there is no change retardfucking 40 year old tech illiterate millenials man
>bought a deathadder v3 on a sale>noticed slight scrolling issues after a month, like scrolling up instead of down>saw this thread all of a sudden>searched the thread for 'scroll' out of curiosity>apparently, it's a common problem or razer miceNot touching the black-and-green shit ever again.
>>721629958I love my naga. The seven wheel is so good for all the craft slop games I play. I couldnt find any other brand that sold similar mouses.
>>721649363I use a wireless mouse and controller and they both work great, the tech has come a long way. Headsets feel stagnant, we have the same issues now that you would have 15 years ago with dropped connections and poor voice quality.
>>721630878>>721648473Bought an asus wireless mouse and the scroll wheel got busted pretty quick too (I have to drown the sensor in machine oil every 6 months or so to fix it) this must be some sort of jewish plot
>>721649563it happened to the last 2 logitech i had too i think its going to happen no matter what brand
>>721648213I have the Logitech g pro x 2. Other than it not coming with the usb adapter it works greats. Really seems like if you don't spend min 200 its just junk
Have been using the cheap deathadders for over 14 years now, I've only had to replace it once and it was because I bound the ping in Apex to it and within a week it was destroyed.have had the new one for nearly 5 years now and no issues.
>>721649563it's a common problem with logitech and razer, I don't know about other mouse companiesseems to be a common problem in general because none of them care about the mouse actually being good, all focus is on the two main clicking buttons but as soon as 1 button on the mouse fails, including the scroll or side buttons, the mouse is as good as garbage, yet they only add optical switches and shit to the two main buttons so the failure mode stays and you toss the mouse after 1.5 years.
>buy deathadder v2>the sillicone shit turns to goo within months
>>721649835The blackpill is every mouse fails in some way or another, you just have to pick your poison. If there was a 'perfect' mouse everybody would just use that brand, but it doesn't exist.
>>721649313they do. they're just cheaper.
>>721649803Yeah you're probably right, as I have heard other people say the same. I mostly just use my wired headset when I game anyways, mainly because its open eared and no wireless headsets seem to be.
>>721648213The trick is to stop buying anything branded as a "gaming" headset. I've got a pair of Sony Ult Wears on atm.
If it isn't formed to fit my left hand I don't care. 99.99% of mice are, to me, useless garbage.
>>721647219G600 is still sold in Japan just under their “logicool” branding (it sounds like a knockoff but it’s legit).Probably gonna be a bit pricey to import but there’s really no alternative that came close for me.
>>721649676my problem is more with batteries.>>721649998this is why being able to repair/replace shit is essential. Louis Rossman is my modern hero
>>721632559iirc nyxi put out some shit membranes on their nyxi wizard gamecube joycons and instead of playing with them more they just went mouse-clicks on the warrior and wizard 2 because it's easierlook at battlerGC pro and GC ultimate if you want rubber membrane buttons a more modern gamecube controller
