DigiMaster :
hello i am about to buy a new mouse and i am between logitech g502 vs razer deathadder 2013.I have seen that the logitech has a very good sensor but i think that the sniper button would be a problem for me..about the razer i read that it feels cheap plastic and it's optical sensor will need a mouse pad.please help,thanks
I know you're already made your purchase but figured I'd reply in case anyone else stumbled in here. I came from a G9, and got very used to the small size, I use a sort of hybrid claw/palm grip but tending towards claw, I use my thumb and little (pinky) to move the mouse, not my actual palm.
So, after buying a RAT7 and ditching it after realising it was WAY too heavy, I read all the reviews of the Deathadder and bought one based on it being described as a hybrid grip. It's not, my main problem with the Deathadder was the I couldn't adequately grip the right side with my pinky, the angle at that side of the mouse was too vertical and while there is a grip pad there my pinky was just not holding it well enough to allow me to move the mouse without modifying my style.
So after reading a really good review of the G502 on Amazon I grabbed one and couldn't be happier. It's still a "hybrid" of sorts, it's not the same form factor as the G9 (but then, nothing is) however the pinky side is angled just slightly more and the grip pad there grips just enough that my pinky isn't struggling to grip it and allow me to use it to move the mouse around. The left side also fits my thumb much better. I still miss the rigid lines of the G9 (particularly how the top buttons were square at the front, allow my fingers to "claw" over them, giving me some extra control).
So the bottom line is, anyone looking for a G9(x) replacement, this is your mouse.
