Shape is somewhat similar, the zowie mice are very durable though and no drivers is nice. The clicks take a bit to get used to (dont worry about pressing them) but I know for me at least I like the harder ones more now. If you have the money you won't be dissapointed.

Other good options are the fk1/fk1+ if you want ambidextrious or even the logitech g403. The g403 is probably more similar to the deathadder but you really cant go wrong with zowie. A lot of local stores have logitech mice to try and hold so you could check one out.

Ok thanks. :)

never had an ec1-a, but i had a da chroma for close to 3 years, never had any issues with it apart from the side grip peeling off which was easily stuck back on just by pressing on it. Functionality wise, worked great. Only problems with razer products for me is synapse being a pain in the ass and running slowly.

If you can handle that, Deathadder is a solid addition to any setup.

I just got a deathadder chroma recently in replacement of my g303 and it the sensor feels very crisp. From what I hear, the zowie mice are some of the best ones you can get. I have absolutely zero complaints from the deathadder

away from the topic but honestly, the nixeus revel is by far the best mouse for a good price. alpha software is available for download and its a absolute steal

The EC is better than the DA but I think you should look at the g403 also

shape is preference
doesn't matter how many years he has been playing quake if he has different sized hands and/or a different grip

i went from a da 2013 to an ec1-a about 6 months ago
on my 2013 i had one of the side buttons snap from flexing and both of the side grips peel off within a year of purchase, the rmb sensor was also so sensitive that it would actuate pretty often from the pressure on the side of the button when i pulled the mouse to the left
no such problems with the ec1-a so far, the sensors are much more tactile and i dont have to fuck with razer synapse at all

Go watch some of his vids, they aren't biased, he didn't rank the mice based on how he liked them, he ranked them based on shape, size, weight, and sensor. His favorite mouse isn't even on that list btw.

Most Logitech mice have a longer life time than zowie mice, and post your grip style/hand size

Zowie mice obviously don't have software, so if you have custom things that you use in razer synapse you won't be able to use them. the ec1-a side buttons have more travel (from what I've heard) than the Deathadder side buttons. It has it's ups and downs but I really like the idea of being able to switch profiles so that my side buttons control my volume and other functions. That's purely personal preference but if you're just using it for gaming the ec1-a can get the job done.

Personally if I were going to another mouse from a deathadder I'd go to the g403 from logitech. There's a good amount of tactile feedback in the scroll wheel and you could even use the weights provided to give you a similar weight to that of the deathadder.

g403

Thanks :)

ok cool thanks :)

Size 20 and grip palm

ok thanks :)

is the zowie Am still ok compared to other mice?

Do you really need an ambidextrous mouse? If the answer is no then there's better mice out there for you

I'm holding mouse in right hand. But i like that shape how chroma is builded.

Yeah zowie is good rated.
