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.
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
Indeed at 18,5cm youre basically median handsize wise. The deathadder is made for palm gripping not claw, ambi mice like the viper or gpxs/2 are alot better for claw. And then at that people overrate how much a mouseshape matters, its more about how confident you feel in the mouse rather than if its the PERFECT shape
+ the rubber pad below the thumb buttons fell off on my da v1. They improved it with the v2 by just blending from the plastic into rubber on the location, instead of glueing a pad on. But due to wear and tear the rubber became less and less, and to fic it you'd have to change the whole housing. On the v3&4 they made the rubber completely optional buy just adding grip tapes to the package (best way imo)
I've been using Deathadder V1 for years, but recently when I got another one this year. The mouse feels all jankey, like it's made of more cheaper materials now. The last one I used felt a little more heavier.
You might be asking who is using Razer products in 2026? Well that's me out of testing over 5 brands on Amazon of cheap mouses, Razer just feels the better ones until now. People suggested OG coolermaster mouses but those feel bad for people with big hands for $30. Normally I would use expensive stuff yet money is tight and a budget can do well if not the same. Depends all on preference though.
