Razer Deathadder or Logitech G402

After searching for a proper gaming mouse for a while I narrowed my choice to one of these, they both have great reviews and they seem like the most bang for the buck.

They're both optical, both considered good for gaming but which one would be the better choice for the money? BTW, the Deathadder I'm talking about is the Chroma.

The G402 is €60 in my country and the DA is €70.

I prefer the Deathadder myself (using the 2013 edition at home, and an older one at work). Nice, simple, and feels good in my hands. I've tried a few of the Logitech gaming mice, and they just feel weird. The designs look cool, but they don't feel good in my hands. If you aren't concerned about the colors, I'd suggest skipping the Chroma and getting a 2013 one that just glows green; you can likely find it second-hand for less than $30, which amounts to what, like 20 euros?

The Chroma only costs €5 more than the 2013, so IMO it's worth it since I'd like to switch the colour to match my future build.
I'm not really interested in 2nd hand products since in most cases you don't receive any warranty and it's just overall risky. If you get a faulty mouse which is brand new you can easily RMA it.

I am leaning towards the Deathadder though, since I've seen some reviews saying the 402 & 502 feel weird and don't perform too well in FPS games.

I opted to take that risk, and haven't had any problems haha. Definitely see your point, though. The Deathadder would be my pick for sure, because despite all the criticisms that Razer gets, I have yet to have any serious problems with their products in the last decade, aside from usual wear and tear. I wish they still made the Copperhead though, because that was a beauty of a mouse, but the Deathadder is a very solid choice in my opinion.
