Best durable gaming mouse that resembles the Razer Deathadder in shape and weight?

My Razer Deathadder 2013 started dying on me recently, I've had it for a little over 2 years and a week ago the middle mouse button stopped working, the side grip also came off. I absolutely adore the shape and size of the mouse, I think it's perfect. But the problem I have with it is that the build quality is not as good as I want it to be, it's bad enough that I don't wish to purchase another Deathadder, even though I love everything else about it.

What mouse should I be considering if I wanted one that resembled the Deathadder in shape and weight? I like my mice light, no more than a little over 100 grams preferably, and an optical sensor would also be my sensor of choice, though I am willing to try out a laser sensor.
I almost exclusively games where aim is important, so first person shooters and some third person shooters. I am also not interested in a large amount of buttons like on the Razer Naga.

I have considered mice like the Steelseries Sensei and also the Corsair M65 (because the Corsair M60 was my previous mouse and I did enjoy using it). But I am still not sure what to go for. If anyone has any experiences with gaming mice, I would love to hear what you've got to say.

Thanks in advance.
 
I had a cheap MX 518 that lasted like 7 years. Not bad for a $29 mouse.

I have been using an Asus 950 for two years and it still feels solid as a rock. The Gladius is also well reviewed and is pretty much described as a clone of the DeathAdder w/ a bunch of extra features.

i just went and got another one. same DeathAdder 2013, my left-click switch was inadvertently double and triple-clicking areas so I'd start accidentally closing windows and what-not. I believe a co-worker of mine got a SteelSeries Sensei? and he adores his; Might be worth a shot in your case. My local Microcenter has giant stacks of the DeathAdder 2013 and instead of...$80 or whatever they were in 2012/2013 they're just under $50; soooo

(i still wish they'd bring back the Boomslang a 3rd time; i have an original and a CE2007 that i can't find X_x; )

Yes I heard of that mouse, most people say it's very good and I believe it. Thing is I also hear it's very heavy and the last time I used a heavy mouse I did not like it at all.

I am very much considering the wireless Sensei. I'd probably get another Deathadder if I found one brand new for dirt cheap but otherwise I'll get something else.

Thank you! I'll have a look.
 


far as i can see it weighs 121g if you dont put the weights in

my m60 weighs 118g without the weights in

so only 3 grams difference

ideally you want a computer shop where you can try before you buy to see what mouse feels good for you
