FYI, I have the Pro version of this and the scroll wheel is awful. It skips and goes in the opposite direction all the time.
I know there is all this talk about replacing the scroll wheel sensor but that really should not be necessary on a new mouse.
There are some "tricks" to fix it but all the fixes are temporary.
I will probably end up doing it. I'm just pissed because it's a bit of a sunk cost thing at this point.
Spending $100+ on a mouse and then needing to do an extra $20 to fix a scroll wheel is ridiculous.
Especially when Logitech has been putting out amazing scroll wheels on much cheaper mice for years.
Hello Everyone, I've been using various generations of Razer Deathadders for several years now as they fit my large mitts quite comfortably.
However, I have been consistently running into the same issue for the past couple of mice. Right now, I have the Deathadder V3 Pro and after about 4-5 months of ownership, the mouse wheel has become absolutely brutal to use. I scroll down 4 clicks, it goes down, up, does nothing, and up again. It's genuinely infuriating as I'm a heavy scrollwheel user in the games I play.
Just wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a replacement mouse in the ballpark of $75-125 that is similarly largely sized, but without a mouse wheel that will fail after 5 months and infuriate for much longer.
Thanks!
Brother this is not new pricing. I still remember back in 2012 when razer released the ouroboros for $150. Thats like $200 today. And that mouse is much worse overall than this mouse is.
this is not a critical problem, sometimes it does not exist at all. In any case, even with the random failure of the first scroll click, the quality and workability of this device is not even close to its analogues
I have a similar situation, I have a DAV3 Pro but it is quite clumsy for my (like a standard) hand. So I bought a slightly smaller Rapoo VT3PRO MAX. It is much more comfortable, but I had to stick grips on the mouse to make it comfortable to hold.
Practice and shape are most important. GPX clones are a safe place to start, Mchose A7 V2, ATK A9, Incott G23 V2. If you prefer a bit larger but still symmetrical, there are Viper clones, but I've only used one so far, namely the Eweadn S9. If you want larger ergo mice, my current main and favourite is the DeathAdder V3 Pro if you can find it for that much, otherwise if the wire doesn't bother you the regular V3 is the same but cheaper. If you need more buttons and don't mind the weight, Basilisk V3, I tried the G502X but the Basilisk felt better for me.
1. Razer DAv3 Pro
2. Mchose A7 V2 Ultra, I still have it, just prefer the DeathAdder shape and I got the DAv3 Pro for less than half the price of new with the 8K HyperPolling dongle included.
3. I already mentioned I like the shape, would be even better if it was the same weight with the V2 shape. Only thing I could bring up as a negative is probably the constantly running proprietary software.
Unless you need the extra buttons, free scroll or side tilt scrollwheel (or you're hellbent on the shape) there's not much reason to get the 502 or Basilisk. The DeathAdder is the best out of these three, though you could get the V4 Pro instead just to have the latest iteration. It also has the 8K dongle by default and better battery life. If you have use for the extra buttons though, I'd pick the Basilisk, as I've preffered it to the 502 after using them back to back.
Not the original, just a clone of it, the Eweadn S9 Max. I didn't have any issues with it apart from the coating which was glossy so it collected gunk from my sweaty hands like there was no tomorrow. I could live with it, but I've kept coming back to the DeathAdder and it just stuck until I bought the latest one eventually and sold everything else.

If you like the DeathAdder, why not get a newer version of it? If price is not an issue, then V4 Pro, otherwise V3 Pro or V3 HyperSpeed, though the HyperSpeed variant is a bit smaller.

Not sure if you want to but you could look up used mice as well. I managed to get mice like the G502 X, Basilisk V3, DeathAdder V2/V3 for under 30$ each (usually 1.5-2x the price new around here so it might not be an option for you). I thought the thumb rest was a necessity for me as well but in the end the DeathAdder shape is what fits my hand perfectly.
I'd like them wider, not flatter. My hand tends to cramp after long sessions if the mouse is not wide enough. My current GPX clone is fine though, but the DeathAdder was what I found near perfect, but much more expensive.
