I'm looking to buy a new gaming mouse, currently I'm using an Alienware Tactx, which isn't a bad mouse, but the scroll wheel is broken and tends to like to do what it wants. I ordered a Razer Naga Hex (Green) and it was, after talking to support, deemed defective, so I returned it and got a replacement and the replacement had the same issues.

Anyway, I'm kind of looking into maybe a Razer Deathadder Chroma, which will look nice with my Razer Blackwidow Chroma. Anyone have experience with the Deathadder? I'm kind of looking for a mouse with:
A clicking scroll wheel, not a fan of dual mode ones (switch between free and click).
At least 2 easy to reach buttons on the thumb, because my Dota 2 bindings work perfectly for me the way they are and I'd rather not change them.
Lighting would be preferred.
Wired, obviously.

Games I play right now in order of most played:
Dota 2
Natural Selection 2
Battlefield 4
Arma 3
PayDay 2

Any suggestions of ones I should look at would be nice.

Hi Guys,
Please pardon my ignorance for not being so pro gamer like you guys are but I play casual games and was looking something similar but not high price.

Pro gamer Brillis suggested me FlexBrains among other choices, I got FlexBrains USB Wired Mouse (it was $29 but I got $10 coupon so $19 with Prime on Amazon).
I love this mouse, use it on my Apple macbook Pro as well as on PC. And LED luminous lights coming from this sucker are great.

I am not Pro gamer so really not advising you anything, just sharing my experience, if you want to see their wired mouse, search on google and you will find an unboxing video of it some gamer uploaded on his website.

hTH,
cooper

In my experience the DeathAdder does not stand up well to click-heavy games. I had a 2012 version when I was playing Battlefield 3 ESL and had been using the AN-94 frequently. Using that gun properly required around 7-10 mouse clicks per second while firing, and after about 8 months of that the switch in the left mouse button gave up in my DeathAdder. Since then I purchased a Zowie EC1 Evo because it was a similar shape to the DA yet was said to be much more durable, which so far has been true.

Unfortunately you cannot buy the EC1 anymore, they've replaced it with the updated EC2 which has been given less than amazing reviews, mainly just that the rubberized coating peels off. The alternative to this is the Zowie FK, which has a slightly lower profile compared to the EC2. It does not have the same peeling issues and features an upgraded sensor over the EC series. The FK will run you about $60, but does not have any lighting if that's a deal breaker for you. Another nice feature of Zowie mice is that they don't require their own drivers, they simply use Windows default mouse drivers, so you can plug the mouse into any computer and start using it immediately.

For the game you are wanting to play I would HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend the corsair m65 FPS gaming mouse. I use the mouse for MMos and it performs flawlessly. It is a cheap mouse and it very durable with an alluminium body. And it has adjustable weights also you should def check it out
