"A good robovac is a life changer. Even a $350 basic S8. It is a great place to start. ... I promise you that you will not be disappointed by a basic S8. It will change your life even if it can't fit under every piece of furniture you own. ... My two S8s just finished vacuuming our entire house in about 46 minutes. ... While my floors were being cleaned, I sat comfortably on our patio in the cool shade with a slight breeze and composed my far too long response to you while sipping a diet soda and relaxing. ... I will have to spend about four minutes maintaining my two S8s. This will be my entire contribution to my home floor cleaning effort for today. Four minutes!"
"Like 500$ these robots are currently the steal of the century ... You can get a mova p10 pro ultra (cannot remove its mops), equivalent to the l40/x40 for 500$ after a discount code"
"I got the Q5 Pro for $139. ... costs $450 less than what I paid for the S6 ... it is the best value option out there imo."

"Been using them for about four years working out in my gym, and cycling daily (45+ minutes on a bicycle outdoors)."

"For gaming, these are perfect. ... As a valorant immortal, tier 2 and premier player, I can confidently say that the imaging and soundstage are spot-on. ... Footsteps, directional cues, and in-game sounds are incredibly precise and natural, giving a competitive edge without any unnecessary bass/treble bloat."
"For gaming the Tea Pros so far are a 10/10, I play mostly Hunt: Showdown and the additional separation, staging, and tighter but punchy bass were all noticeably better for my ears."
"endgame ... Otherwise I probably wouldn't use any other IEM for gaming but this ... The best was definitely the EM6L where I felt nearly no difference in performance with my headphones ... The EM6L is by far and away the best iem for fps gaming. ... But as of rn the EM6L is the best imo ... The EM6L is still king of gaming in my opinion. ... Em6l is still end game."

"after shifting to deathadder 59g feel much better."
"I love how light this thing Is you can flick it to next week! ... it's only 59g, so it's super light ... at first it was weird and I didn't lime it but it soon swooned me and I can't even use another mouse they're too heavy haha."
"Light and responsive for my stiffening fingers."

"The Warranty period is 2 years, but unfortunately, I now need to ship it to the US on my own. ... They will check and get back to me in the fullness of time. This will, of course, never happen and I have no recourse."
"Hello I overlooked your message that avro will not provide warranty for this? Please let me know why. This mouse cover has a acro import sticker and easyshoppi is supposedly authorised seller too then why"
"Three months later, one earbud stopped working."

"the mic not being recognized as functional when everything checks out systematically, weird stuff. ... Today my mic completely won't connect to anything, I BT'd it to my phone, won't register that it's on, used it on my PC, nothing. ... Went to a help page and did all the backdoor stuff with permissions, no change (everything was already correct) just more frustration. ... Too much money to forgive."
"the software not recognizing the headset using it's dongle ... I started facing issues with it that seem to be a common occurrence with the headset. ... I find fixes all the time for it! Such as switching USB ports when its not recognized which works but I expect a $300 headset with such praise not to need that kind of attention, for the steep cost (again just a gamer, not an audiophile) I'd expect my purchase to function with minimal intervention. ... I found that the usb shifting thing really isn't uncommon for the headset and that's just not okay with me for the cost."

"Noticed this problem from my G305 now to the Deathadder V3… and the deathadder I have just gotten a week ago and already causing issues."
"it’ll stop working and reset constantly"
"Lubricating the scroll wheel fixed all my broken mice. ... I even pulled one I thought was toast forever out of the closet and put it back in service. ... Brought two of my scimitars back from the junk drawer."

"slips too much ... not much grip"
"Speedlands grip is very poor compared to Norda and Nnormal."
"it's super slick without them and it feels great with them"
Weight doesn't really matter much if all you do is non-competitive games, but I play a mix of most game genres and after switching from a scimitar (corsair's mmo moise) to a lightweight deathadder I don't think I can go back. My aimlabs score on multiple tests improved by like 20-30%. The deathadder with the AA battery is a good bit heavier I think
r/buildapcsales • [MOUSE] Razer Naga V2 HyperSpeed Wireless MMO Gaming Mouse - $66.99 ($99.99-$33) ->Meanwhile I am using Razer Cobra wired after playing with DeathAdder Essential for like 3 years. it was a 100g > 58g weight reduction, still... crazy
r/cs2 • Why everyone says Logitech G Pro Superlight is bad and most pros use it? ->lol...i have to find a good middle ground between kinda fits, and not heavy...deathadder has been decent so far. may jump to the pro, idk. https://preview.redd.it/9lxrntbwm4vf1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=57533ff4f6392efe68211dd987a504570bd2ae38
r/razer • Which mice you guys recommend for people with very largue hands? ->I just got the deathadder a couple days back, my advice - DO NOT GET IT. Its softwares feel like bloatware and keeps messing with my in game aiming sensitivity for some reason. Also I don't understand why I need to be logged into a razer account to be able to customize my mouse lighting and dpi.
r/IndianGaming • HELP ME WITH A GOOD GAMING MOUSE ->gawd dayum, i have relatively large hands being 21x10, and yet your hands make the g102 look like the keychron m4 in my hands. for mouse recomendation, its either gonna be a razer death adder(which ever one fits your budget) or the teevolution teera. idk whats the price in india
r/MouseReview • Big Hand Mouse Recommendations - Coming From G102 ->tbh, idk, the deathadder would suite your grip style
r/MouseReview • Are ergo mice bad for gaming? ->This mouse scroll wheel got issues
r/IndianGaming • Easyshoppi Appreciation Post, purchased gaming mouse at cheaper rate. ->I've owned both the g102 and deathadder, avoid razer please. Its an overpriced piece of mid equipment. The deathadders scroll wheel gave out after 6-7 months of use. as for the g102 I got a double clicking problem after around a year of use. No mouse in this budget is gonna get you more than 12-18 months(if you're lucky) of usage if you're doing heavy gaming on it..but the death adder was surprisingly very fast to spoil.
r/IndianGaming • Confused on what to choose.. ->I use the death adder. Don’t sleep on using mouse wheel up/down as binds too. Great for focus interrupts and CC.
r/wow • Best mouse for WoW with side buttons? ->Honestly, after being on the deathadder for like 10 years, then to steel series, I have the Logitech g502 now and it's just perfect. Would never go back.
r/cs2 • Which is the best for cs 2 ->I'm in the same boat as you, once I tried a Death Adder every other mouse I've used feels like pure garbage in my hands. They either move in a clunky way, they don't fit my hands, some buttons are hard to reach, buttons don't click in a good way... and the list goes on. I'm on my 8th Death Adder now.
r/buildapc • Is Razer good or overhyped ->I've had 8 Death Adders throughout my life. It's a testament to how much I love them that I keep buying them. It's also a testament to how poorly made they are that they keep breaking. Sadly, nothing comes even close to the "feel" that they have for me. They have the perfect weight, fit my hand, and they seem to move in the perfect way. Buttons are responsive and scroll wheel is fine. Because they're so perfect for me, I don't mind buying a new one every 1.5-2 years when they eventually stop working, but ymmv. Some people hate that kind of thing. I will add they've made improvements and my most recent one has lasted 3 years but is starting to have issues now. As for the headsets... don't buy any gaming brand of headsets, especially Corsair (Corsair PC components are great though!). The only gaming headset I've ever purchased that I like is the HyperX cloud alpha wireless.
