Razer Deathadder Elite vs Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum (Coming From Razer Naga 2014)

[Engbuilder]

Hello Everyone,

Recently, i have been looking for a gaming mouse to replace my 2014 Razer naga due to annoying tracking issues that only have a temporary fix. Considering my current budget of 50$, the Razer Deathadder Elite and Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum are the best choices according to the internet reviewers and communities. Coming from Razer, i have some doubt about the Deathadder durability for wear as some people mentioned and sensor issues like my naga. The new mouse needs to cover at least 2 to 3 years with no issues. In addition, is there any common issues i should know of? Finally, i am open to any suggestions and help regarding this matter. Thank You

I've been using Logi mice for nearly two decades now, and they are always smooth at cursor movement and reliable (currently own a G402). I would also bet they have better compatibility with other brands, which matters a lot now a days if you use Fan Speed, Macro, or RGB software on other components.

For instance, Corsair just told me after asking them a lot of questions about their icue software, that it's compatible with Logi mice, as long as you choose only icue or only Logi to set macros. Other brand's software if incompatible have to be uninstalled. So I say Logitech all the way.

BTW, Razer is not just worse on reliability of hardware, they are one of the worst brands for compatibility. On RGB software conflicts with icue, Corsair told me Razer is the worst.

I also don't like the way Razer's software installs. I've installed Razer Synapse before, and it was a mess getting it to install and work properly. If you ever have to uninstall then reinstall it, the problems only get worse.

Ive used logitech mice since 2004 except for a brief span where I had a steel series mouse.

Razer has never even been on my radar as an fps player.

I would say go with the Logitech one. I dont dislike their build quality but Logitech products seem to be build much better. The Razer mouse I have is falling apart and it's only been about 9 months. When I first got it the side rubber was pointing out. I have a Logitech g910 Orion Spark, had it for 3 years, and it's gone through a lot. Everything still works on it. I'm sure it will last way longer than my Razer mouse. My friend also has a Logitech mouse and he's gone to hell with that thing (pretty much torture tested it, slammed it on his knee as hard as possible) and it's still working fine. Razer is made more for rgb and not long term use, Logitech will pretty much last as long as you like. My family has a keyboard and mouse that is currently around 6-7 years and it's flawless. Go with Logitech

Thank You guys for the information. I am currently planning on buying the Logitech G502 for several reasons:

1. It is similar to the weight of my Razer Naga, Plus it can be modified.

2. The G502 looks to be the better option in case of durability.

3. The software looks more promising than Razer Synapse.

4. It feels you get more for the money from Logitech.
