I've had my Deathadder for right around 4 years now and have had no problems.
You seem quite biased, friend.
I've mentioned in the keyboard-fi thread that the DeathAdder was/is the only product Razer ever made that I would rate as excellent.
I've had, to date:
- DeathAdder (lasted 2 years)
- Lachesis (3 of them in a year -- lasted about 2-3 months each -- my brother bought one the same day I did, and that crapped out in a month)
- Naga (lasted 4 months, died in the middle of a top tier arena match)
- Naga Hex (lasted 6 months)
Note that I treated these mice like babies due to how expensive they were.
Compare that to my:
- Logitech MX310 (lasted for 8 years)
- Logitech MX518 (still going strong after 4 years)
- G9x just because I got bored of the MX518, despite not needing to replace it
The MX310 got me through my rage-filled teenage competitive CS1.6 years where I liked to throw it at the wall and down at the table during tournaments during bad plays.
I've also heard good things about SteelSeries and I used to really like Cytek Cyborg stuff for their joysticks.
I had a BlackWidow Ultimate, which had nothing inherently wrong with it aside from feeling pretty cheap, which I traded in for a Corsair K90, which was way better build quality for a lower price.
Do I even have to tell you how many better headphones and headsets are out there that are way better than Razer for the price?
Anyway, let's not derail. If you want to talk about their mice and keyboards with me:
