My Blackwidow respawn is a great mouse, had absolutely no issues with it.
He means Deathadder.
And mine has also been amazing. No issues and still works great. Best mouse I've ever owned and would recommend it to anyone.
Deathadder's a great mouse, sturdy, responsive and hardware-wise one of the best mice on the market. Unbeatable value since they are like 35 bucks.
They only have 2 extra buttons though.
dunno why people are always on about the deathadder... the only strength about it is that it uses like a TEN YEAR OLD sensor technology, pre- the current-gen of bullshit hi-tech 17,000dpi sensors that all come with irremovable acceleration/prediction crap. the deathadder is far from the only mouse that still uses that sensor, though. i think it's just because razer are the default go-to brand for a whole horde of teenage gaming-gimmick idiots. personally i think the build-quality and overall aesthetic of razer products is total junk. not to mention the fact that the deathadder is still basically a claw/finger type mouse, and i lean heavily on palm for gaming (generally speaking: all fps with low-sens and tight control, palm mice are better, because of the rigid wrist ergonomics they force; claw-mice are better for high-sens games, because they offer better flick-maneuverability).
the mx518/g5 is still one of the best mice i've ever used. i wanted to try and get into the latest gen steelseries gaming mice - cause they look sleek and oh so fancy! - but they all come with bullshit acceleration and new sensors that suck. great at removing jitter and being super-accurate, but actually fucking terrible at gaming. the best steelseries mouse for hardcore gaming is, ironically, the $20 bucks optical Ikari they use.
i just bought a zowie mouse, because their keyboard is just amazing. the top-end gaming mouse they do has the exact same sensor as the deathadder, fyi. so don't feel forced to buy a razer hunk of shit if precise/perfect hardware is what you want. the zowie doesn't even have drivers or any software crap to interrupt with your control. it's plug and play, and the only way to change the dpi/polling rate is by holding down certain mouse buttons as you plug it into your computer (e.g. holding mouse4 when you plug the mouse in will set it at 500hz polling-rate / 1000dpi). that's leet.
i wanted the blue because it has the exact reproduction of old mx518 style hardware, but i'm told the button-switches and scroll-wheel aren't top rate. the black/white ones (the evo second-gen iteration) have better form-moulding, and thus a better performing scroll wheel. they also basically have the cherry mx mech-keyboard equivalent of switches in the two right/left mouse clicks. super leet APM broooooo.
