I believe it was the Deathadder 3.5G (2009 model), i found it the other day still performs decent lol besides spinouts.

I had some handpain issues in the beginning of my gaming career, was using a 10€ mouse that was way too small for my hand. I tested some more expensive ones in a shop and the original Razer Deathadder is like someone took a print and my hand made that mouse. Costs 50-60€ and it has been worth every penny. Although the later versions aren't as perfect as the original used to be.

I still have an original death adder in the box I picked up from a thrift store for $5 bucks. I know its not worth anything, but it was one of my first gaming mouses and having one still looking like the day I brought it home is kinda cool.

I use a Death Adder V.2 but I actually prefer the V.1

I prefer the V.1 because it's front is more flared

So the mouse really doesnt matter for the later versions. The deathadder is only really good for minecraft 1.8.9< and youd need to get a used first gen deathadder as they didnt have debounce latency. Furthermore what i meant is that the gpxs is about 90-120 bucks right now with the attack shark mouse being about 30 and the model o is only really available at scam prices, id rather go with the model d from their own website at like 40 bucks which is the same mouse but with a shape more akin to the deathadder. Not a mouse id reccomend due to personal experience and the experience of others but mate if you want it i cant stop you

This is closer to my experience too. I had this same double clicking issue which actually I temporarily fixed by glueing a bit of plastic in. It happened because the plastic pole that actually hits the button wears down and so I got like another year out of it by doing a jank fix. But I easily got 5+ years out of it. And I feel like it was actually a few more years than that but I don't remember well. And now my v2 is probably 2 years old and apart from wear on the rubber side grip is basically still brand new. And the side grip wear was my fault, it's not normal wear. I used something to clean it that I shouldn't have that reacted with it and melted the grip material

That's crazy I got 5+ from my first one until it had this very issue and then it must be coming up 2 years now on my v2. And it still looks and feels basically brand new. I'd be kind of upset if I only got 2 years out of it I think. I'm cheap though

I'm thinking if you position your hand differently, it might be more comfortable. Your hands look to be about the same as the size of mine, but I hold the mouse a lot different than you do. I have the mouse in the palm of my hand so the weight of my hand is resting on it and I bend my fingers. I've never found it to be uncomfortable or had any issues with it. I've had two Razer mouses. One looks almost identical to the one that's in the background of your photos. Mine was a DeathAdder v1. I use a Logitech G502 now that's basically the same size. I've found all of them to be comfortable.
