"Tatti mouse, threw mine away within 3 months due to scroll wheel issue"
"mine already has a scrolling issue ... Initially it wasn't an issue but now it's really frustrating and irritating to the point where I would not suggest this mouse to anyone ... This model specifically has more issues than others from what I've experienced and heard"
"it died shamefully in the middle of a game ... from my experience Razer is not reliable."

1casy623 1.0Meanwhile I am using Razer Cobra wired after playing with DeathAdder Essential for like 3 years. it was a 100g > 58g weight reduction, still... crazy
a3ryk 1.0This mouse scroll wheel got issues
AhmadBinJackinoff 1.0I've been using it for 2-3 years now. still works great. Though I use it only for like 2 to 3 hours a day.
ALGORYTHM01 1.0I use Deathadder essential and it's really good
Available-Ship6037 1.0Isn't Rs 1000 overpriced. Its not really a great deal. Got mine in 2023 for 600Rs. Also keep the scroll wheel clean
Great budget mouse , brother uses it on the secondary gaming pc. Make sure to keep the mouse and scroll wheel clean, it tends to develop scroll wheel issues
AzureBat 1.0Ah I getcha. I also have the Deathadder Essential which is at 90g and it has those textured areas at both sides of the mouse. So when I hold it (thumb and fourth finger), it provides some extra grip. It's a really simple and cheap mouse but I also have very basic needs. Check out the [rtings.com](http://rtings.com) website, they have stats on mice weight and width which you can then use to shortlist a few mice. Choosing a mouse can be quite subjective so getting a feel for yourself is the surest way.
Basilisk_0 1.0It's very good been 1 yr no problems yet
the razer deathadder essential one is solid, sleek, minimal and works well
BERSERK_KNIGHT_666 1.0Both are good but the orochi one is ambidextrous while death adder is ergonomic right handed. Don't go for a death adder if you're left-handed.
The Adder will definitely be more comfy, especially for long use durations. I feel changing batteries is a greater hassle than wires but hey, that's just my personal opinion.
Ngl, amazon basic wired mice are pretty good. One of them is almost like a Logitech G402 clone and has served me well for the past 2 years. It costs just 700 bucks. Red gear is also good in the mid range segment. Yeah it's an Indian brand but still has decent quality. Next up is Lenovo and Dell, surprisingly. Yeah, their budget segment mice are basic and boring, made for office use. But they last very long. There's a reason why most offices and schools use them. If you're willing to spend over a 1000, the Razer Death Adder Essential mouse is highly recommended. Well reputed brand and top notch quality of products

birch_tree_gang 1.0I’m in the same boat as you, big hands and also used to have a deathadder. Id say the deathadder is about as big as they come, but you could try something like a Zowie EC1, similar shape but a bit bigger.
So, I actually used pincer claw for a while. That was basically my natural grip for years, probably exactly because it was a bit more suitable for big hands, and I owned a Deathadder Essential for a while (that was my first gaming mouse), but something about it didn't feel right in-game. It's been a while since I used it now, so it's a bit hard to remember what it was, but it just felt like my grip would tighten up too much against my will in comp fps, and it didn't feel super comfortable for long periods. Could just be though that I need to work on my tension control. I'm down to give pincer claw another go. I do really love my Deathadder V3, it's probably my favorite mouse just in terms of it's clicks, weight, scroll-wheel, and coating especially. But something about it just didn't feel as precise as I wanted in-game.
I mean, if it's comfortable and you're playing fine, I'd honestly just recommend to stick with it (as someone who used a Deathadder essential for a while and then went down an insane rabbit hole trying to find the perfect mouse, only to go back to Deathadder (V3)). But on the other hand, if you're really curious, I think the Superlight is a safe option to try out. If you like it, stick with it, if not, you can just return it
