I currently own a Razer Naga, but want to get a different mouse due to the fact that I quit WoW and mostly play shooters now, and the fact that it's starting to act up on me.

I need something with 3000+ dpi, a high build quality that will last, and stable drivers/software. Customizable backlighting is a plus, but not a necessity, and I also prefer wired over wireless, but I'm kind of open there.

Budget honestly isn't a problem, I could go up to $100, but would prefer to stay closer to $60.

These are the two I'm looking at:

Tt eSports Level 10 M

Corsair M65

I'm leaning towards the Thermaltake. I think it looks cooler, it looks bigger which I think would fit my hands better, and has customizable backlighting.

However, I've owned many Corsair products, and all work wonderfully. I've never owned anything by thermaltake, so I'm not really sure.

I'm also open to other suggestions. I know many like the Razer Deathadder, but honestly, I'm a bit put off by Razer. I paid $80 for my Naga, and it's wearing out after 2 years. I've read similar problems with other naga's and other Razer products in general.

Any suggestions?

Not those specific models no, but I have experience with various other Tt eSport mice and from my experience with them they are very comfortable/ergonomic and very reliable. Some have weights that you can remove depending on personal preference. They are great for fps gaming :)

No Corsair peripheral experience though but I have seen and heard good reviews from both friends and trusted sites. (more than half my pc is corsair :p)

Might I suggest going to a store near you and hearing if they have those in stock and have a feel of them (some mice actually have packaging so that you can get an idea of what it feels like without buying it beforehand.)

Steelseries Sensei, Xai, Kinzo V2, Kana V2 (coming soon, already released in Hong Kong)

Roccat Koni XTD (one good looking mouse)

What about Coolermaster?

The CM Storm for example?

(sounds like you have big hands so CM Spawn maybe or even Logitech G9X)

Logitech have very reliable mice I recommend the G700

Thermaltake Tt eSports have epic mice I have 1 myself, (one of many good mice) They are very comfortable I recommend the Black Element

...

I may try to see them in person at a store, because im thinking I might wait until black friday to order in case it's cheaper. But yeah so far I'm leaning towards the thermaltake since the only thing I was unsure of was their quality overall as a brand. But if that's good and the mouse has good reviews I might just go with it.

That's a good decision, always wait for the specials :D they are very reliable, surprisingly CM (Coolermaster) are also one of the best. Seems the company's that started out with fans, then chassis ended up being great in every en-devour they went into. Also remember to have a look at the Black Element...

Well, I did kind of a 180 lol. After trying the Deathadder 2013, Taipan, and Corsair M65 in person, I just cant get used to those kind of mice. They just seem to small for my hands. I'm sure I would in get used to it eventually, but after owning a Razer Naga original for years, I have really gotten used to a larger mouse. So, after trying out the Razer naga 2014 edition in store, I went with that. All the reviews are good, and I love the mechanical buttons on the side.

I was able to get it on sale for $65, down from $80, so I figure that I got a pretty good deal. And if anything does go wrong with it, I pan on getting a 2-3 year Squaretrade warranty.

Thanks for all the help and insight guys!

Glad you made that choice I use my Naga Molten everyday :) My Mamba 2013 sits on my shelf unless I really really want to use it (it's too sensitive and doesn't like the surface I play on so it doesn't respond as well)

Where as the naga doesn't mind. The only reason I didn't list it was due to your request of a different mouse. happy hunting my friend :)
