Deathadder V2 wired, if you can find it. Only downer is that the grip pads on the side get really funky after some use. Have since removed them and will replace them with something more robust. Am also using a V2 X Hyperspeed, which has an identical form factor, is wireless and does not have group pads. Considering a V2 pro or V3 pro, but I'm liking the form factor and weight of the V2s more.

For what it’s worth I love my v2 wired. I picked up a v3 pro and it’s trash. Feels Cheap. Disconnects all the time. Battery doesn’t last long. Respect to the OP for posting but I’m hesitant to buy another razer mouse YMMV

Hi mate, I am currently on a DAV2 wired. Been using it for 5 years now and still holding up besides the rubber grip wearing off. How do you choose between the DAV3 wired and Vaxee Mad R+ (20USD more expensive) OR any other mouse better in this range you would recommend I never tried wireless and don't mind trying. Previously using palm grip for FPS, would like to try claw instead for better aim.

I used to have a deathadder V2 (halo edition) and had to go to the Naga V2 hyperspeed as my adder died on me after a year. The Naga has been fantastic thus far, I'm a year and a half in and I love it. 12 side buttons, free spinning (and normal) scroll wheel, you can *sideclick* the scroll wheel (both directions) and customizable DPI from a button notched out of the Left mouse button. I don't know how similar to YOUR Naga it is, but I felt the need to specify. Out of all of razer mice I've owned the Naga V2 feels the best. Glorious Model O was my favourite by far but it's not an mmo style. (Or razer, lol) Little bit of extra context also: my Naga does NOT have the 'quick connect' side buttons like other models. Mine is an mmo style mouse and mmo style ONLY. Edit: I never put a list, but I owned 3 deathadders from the first edition, the v2 and the halo edition, 2 Nagas now (mmo and standard), as well as the... Viper? I think it's called. I didn't like it. The Naga is my favourite for versatility but the deathadder felt the nicest. It was also like $90 CAD. Downside is its a battery operated, takes a single AA

I recently got the R1 Pro less than a month ago, and it's been giving me hand cramps after a couple hours of gaming. I thought it was because I needed to get used to a smaller, ambidextrous mouse so I tried working around it by resting in between games by watching YouTube and surfing the web. However, I've come to the realisation that I simply need a larger mouse that works for me. My hands are 20cm x 10.5cm and I use a relaxed claw grip. These are the mice I've used in the past: G403 Wireless: 2018 - 2023, was fine as a starter mouse I guess. Double clicked and my fingers created indents on the rubber coating. G Pro Wireless: Used it for 2 weeks in 2019, but sold it as I didn't love the shape and size. Mouse was too expensive for me to justify keeping something I didn't love. However, I did notice my Wingman flicks improved when I used the mouse so I kept the idea of trying another light ambi mouse in the back of my head. DeathAdder V2 Wired: 2023 - 2026. Loved the shape, but yet again my fingers created indents on the rubber coating which I hate. I just came back from a store to test out different mice and really liked the EC1-C and Superlight DEX. Not huge on the new shape in the DAV3 and DAV4, feels smaller than the DAV2 for some reason. However, I'm aware that there aren't any clones of the DAV2 except the Attack Shark V3 (apparently trash). And after looking on ELOshapes, it seems like the next closest things to the EC1 are the Intellimouse Pro (too heavy) and Glorious Model D (I find honeycombs gross). So I guess my best bet would be to look for DEX clones. I've currently narrowed my options down to the **Mchose A7 RE** and the **ATK Y9 Ultimate**, but I'm not sure if there's a clear "better" option between the 2. u/BeerGogglesFTW's posts/comments about the 2 mice have been helpful, but I'm wondering if anyone else has any input to add. Or maybe even another option to consider? Thank you! I'm from Singapore if that helps with suggestions :)

Yeah I noticed that as well! It's fully plastic now, which is a win in my books. After testing out the different mice in store, my shape preference right now is EC1-C > DAV2 > DEX > DAV3. Not sure why, seeing as they're all around the same size, but I was really hoping I'd like the DAV3 as it would make things so much easier for me. I was actually surprised I liked the DEX as much as I did, as I don't have a favourable impression of Logitech due to the double clicking in my G403, plus the fact that the DEX is actually smaller than the DAV2 and 3. But I have to admit that they did great with the shape of the DEX, and it weirdly felt better in my hand than the DAV3. Another pain point would be pricing, the DAV3 Pro is going for $134 right now in Singapore, but DEX clones like the A7 RE and Y9 are almost half the price in the $70 - $80 range. Plus the fact that I'll need to redownload Synapse LOL
