Anyone have any experience with the Asus ROG Gladius? Looks like it's got the Razer DeathAdder form factor I like with the bonus of not having to deal with Razer's horrible build quality or buggy synapse software. And from their marketing it looks like it might(?) actually be easy to replace/service the switches:

Might be the ROG Gladius I asked about earlier; a couple people replied positively and it does have the Deathadder form factor: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3222963&pagenumber=164&perpage=40#post452921218

Travic posted:I'm thinking I need a new mouse. I love my Razer Deathadder, but I didn't know Razer was apparently a terrible manufacturer when I bought it. Is there anything similar out there that is just as good for games, but actually made well? I've taken a liking to the Zowie and Mionix mice mentioned in the thread. You might consider the ASUS ROG Gladius if you really like the Deathadder form factor. I'm also looking for alternatives to a left-handed Deathadder so if anyone can recommend anything with that form factor, please do! astral fucked around with this message at 04:13 on Mar 16, 2016 |

Deviant posted:i know but the hardware is good and nothing else fits my hand quite right Have you tried the ASUS ROG Gladius? Very similar form factor. Sidenote: I wish there existed a left-handed one. Razer's left-handed Deathadder is a few generations old and the middle click is more annoying than the more recent versions.

BusinessWallet posted:I have a Deathadder 3.5G and I like the form factor of it, but I hate how everything is controlled by the software. When Windows starts, Synapse takes a minute or two to load my settings so the mouse is flying around wildly until that happens. Ideally looking for something with a similar form factor and layout, but with more hardware support for DPI adjustability. Might consider the ASUS ROG Gladius: https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Gaming-Mouse-ROG-Gladius/dp/B00P2PL4NK/ It has a software setup thing, but changes get saved to flash memory on the mouse. Similar form factor. And thanks to checking in response to your post I've learned that they made a sequel with some changes including an extra DPI button on the side; anyone check that one out yet? https://www.amazon.com/ROG-Gladius-II-Optical-Ergonomic/dp/B06XT4B2B9/

Currently $15: https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Gaming-MM300-Anti-Fray-Extended/dp/B01798VS4C/ I bought it the other week but haven't yet tried it out because it smelled like car tires right out of the box.

Mukaikubo posted:So, about a year ago, I bought a Razer Chroma. I actually really, really like it, except it's loving falling apart before a year's out. The adhesive rubber pads on the bottom scraped off on my pretty good mousepad fast, and just this week, the scroll wheel has stopped physically registering clicks. Razer's tech support suggested that I reinstall their software- well, I'm a bit baffled as to why that would fix what is pretty obviously a hardware issue, but fine! Nope, that didn't work, so I go back to tech support telling them it didn't work and that I have a hardware issue with the scroll wheel. I get back three more suggestions- all of which are related to their synapse software. I've always found it really easy to start an RMA with Razer, though it's also true that I've had to do so with nearly every single mouse I purchased from them (the exception was one which failed a month out of warranty). I don't buy Razer mice any longer. I assume you were talking about the Deathadder (Chroma just means its LEDs have colors) - you might consider the ASUS ROG Gladius or the Logitech G403, which have a similar form factor. I like the ASUS one because most of the switches (and the feet) are user-servicable, and it comes with spare switches:

Fed up, I disassemble the mouse myself, voiding the warranty, and confirm that yep, the microswitch under the scroll wheel is physically broken and not registering clicks. Great.

paid money to post posted:I'm starting to get old and my wrists are starting to hurt. I'm looking at the ergonomic 3M mice that resemble a joy stick. They seem more desirable than the other "neutral grip" or side-held mice, since I'll have to pinch my hand like a lobster claw and most likely be in more pain. What are some of the better ergonomic mice out there? Not a mouse but I can recommend the Allsop Wrist Assist as a fantastic replacement for a wrist pad. Unlike wrist pads, it slides with your arm so it doesn't put extra strain on your wrist.

AgentCow007 posted:I can vouch for SteelSeries being the same way. I end up replacing every 11-18 months. It's bullshit, but the Sensei is the only thing I can find similar in shape to old Intellimouse Explorers (that lasted for a good 5-7 years each). Microsoft made good hardware. RIP Which Explorer? I assume you're talking about a different one since the Sensei is ambidextrous, but I was a big fan of the Intellimouse Explorer 3.0; when it disappeared I suffered through Razer Deathadders that'd invariably fail around the end of the warranty period just because they felt pretty similar. The ASUS ROG Gladius is pretty similar, too, and I heard the Logitech G403 was similar but when I tried it something about that one just felt off to me.

Appoda posted:My desk with its keyboard tray doesn't leave much room for a mouse after a full size keyboard, so I have a bad habit of using my wrist for everything. I don't really notice any strain, but I imagine it's not great in the long run. At some point I plan to replace the desk and try to get used to a much lower dpi; my mouse is currently sensitive enough to go between three screens without picking it up. This is a pain in the rear end to try to switch from. Not that I know from personal experience or anything...  Grab an Allsop Wrist Assist if you can; it should help. Available at Walmart.com and Amazon if you're in the US.

Anyone have experience with Corsair HyperX mice? I found one named the HyperX Pulsefire FPS Pro that looks like it has a similar form factor to the Razer Deathadder + Asus ROG Gladius. It uses the Pixart 3389 sensor. Amazon Warehouse also has a bunch of cheap ones which are eligible for the extra-20% off sale going on right now, works out to roughly $25 or less: https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B07FLP9391/?m=A2L77EE7U53NWQ edit: Ordered one of the used-like new for $25.39 after discount and taxes; will report back when I eventually receive/test it. edit 2: HyperX Pulsefire FPS Pro trip report: The software is lacking; the lighting is only one zone (scroll wheel + logo) which is less than ideal, but I could've dealt with that if you could dim the lights somehow, which you can't configure - though the mouse seems perfectly capable of it since it fades the lights in/out when you change DPI settings. Perhaps a later software version will address this. astral fucked around with this message at 06:13 on Apr 26, 2019 |

Dallan Invictus posted:So I've been using iterations of Razer's Deathadder model for the past decade-ish, but I've finally gotten sick of replacing them because the scroll wheel (and ONLY the scroll wheel for some reason) stops working after three years, so I'm looking to see if there's any competing wired products that might be more durable or if I should just dehumanize myself and face to ASUS's ROG Gladius has a similar shape to the Deathadder. So did the HyperX Pulsefire FPS Pro but I didn't like that you couldn't adjust the lights separately - I wanted the scroll wheel light without the logo light, but that wasn't possible.

I'm not even sure if I'd be good at using mouse buttons other than left click-right-click-scroll wheel. What's a good decent starter to buy to figure things out? I'm right handed if that helps, tho I don;t think I particularly like extremely single-handed mice. In your situation it might be best to find a local store with various mice on display to at least find somewhere to start from (what felt good to you, what didn't, etc).

I haven't tried the ASUS ROG Gladius II yet but the first one had a pretty similar shape to the Deathadder. Detachable cable and user-serviceable switches. e: The 49.99 version doesn't seem to have the detachable cable or spare switches though: https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-ROG-Gladius-Origin-Acceleration/dp/B07YD7GKN9/ astral fucked around with this message at 22:00 on Mar 14, 2020 |

Cool project; thanks for sharing the pictures. I'd be a little worried about sharp edges in the glides around the drill holes causing some drag/snag (and/or a scratchy sound while moving the mouse, depending on mousing surface). Have you run into that or did it come out pretty even around the drill holes?

That keyboard is the first Razer product that's even remotely interested me in years, but definitely not for $130, or even $130 minus whatever the mouse could be resold for. Not to mention I just bought that $50 Kingston detachable-cable TKL mechanical keyboard the other month from the MS store as a nice backup to my existing Corsair KB of similar design. On a related note, I've been using the Razer Deathadder Chroma I received from an older Deathadder RMA ~4.5 years back and the scroll wheel switch might be in an early stage of failure. For a while now it's been occasionally thinking I've let go of the scroll wheel button while still holding it down. What's weird about it is that it's been extremely rare; the last time I had a scroll wheel switch fail on a (Razer) mouse, it would frequently stop registering scroll wheel button presses to begin with. That hasn't happened this time around.
