1.) Male

2.) Razer Deathadder

9.) Not often, whenever my Deathadder breaks I will buy a new one

1. Male

2. Yes, Razer

3. I like it balanced, I usually look to the reviews for insight.

4. Black usually, but if it's two tone, it's nice to have choices, blue is nice though.

5. As long as it doesn't feel akward, medium, if that's the standard.

6. As long as it has sensitivity and couple extra buttons, I'm fine with it.

7. I'm fine with a wired setup.

8. 20-50USD is what I would want to pay, but usually the better stuff is 50+USD.

9. Usually only with a new PC build, so every 2 years or so.

10. If I can try it out at the store than it's a plus.

medium - large, something in between, but its a DeathAdder Large?? if it is, i lke large

Q6, If you can add more functions to a gaming mouse, what will you add? (For example shortcut key , MSN message hint, etc)
the ONLY thing i dont like bout the DeathAdder is that it doesnt have 2 seperate keys for DPI switching, but i only use 900 anyway xD, but still i would be nice having maybe another two buttons on the other side so i can have a couple more buttons to prgram, but i only use the side buttons for knife in CoD4, thats it

i only got a Razer DeathAdder cause i changed my keyboard from a G15 to a Lycosa and a Razer mousepad, so i wanted ALL Razer, so i got a Razer mouse, thinking of getting the Razer Maco speakers aswell, so i only buy if i want to have everthing mathcing, or when the one i have is out of date or broken

Q2, Are you currently using a gaming mouse? If yes, what is its brand? YES, X7

Q3, What will you care most: ergonomics design, performance, feature & function, quality, aspect, price, brand, etc? EROGONOMICS OFC. you sit all day with it in your hand, performance come's in second.

1. Male; TF2.

Mostly shooters, but a do play a few RTS games.

2. Yes, Razer DeathAdder.

I've had it for a few months, and it's really comfortable. My old mouse was a Diamondback and not only did it not fit my hand well, but I found it impossible to use the buttons that were on the far side of the mouse (my pinky). I much prefer only having the two large buttons for my thumb, as they're easier to find and press. Also, I find that ambidextrous mice really bug me, and that I prefer a right-handed mouse.

3. Ergonomics and Performance.

As mentioned above, I can't stand the feeling of a mouse that isn't tailored to my hand, so that comes first. Next is performance, which doesn't seem to vary much between most gaming mice.

4. Black & Blue.

5. Large.

I have large hands, so I don't like smaller mice, such as the Diamondback. I've found that the large DeathAdder is perfect for me.

6. Thumb buttons.

Just two large thumb buttons on my mouse is fine for me, as I can't use the ones on the other side of the mouse anyway.

7. No, don't want to deal with lag or interference issues.

8. $20 - $50

9. Whenever my old one breaks, or when I need one for another computer.

10. No preference.

1. male

2. yes, razer

3. performance, ergonomics (not logitech ones mouse shaped ones like razer mice cause i put the base of my palm on the table and hate having my thumb in the mouse) and appearance (no graphics just plain)

4. black (matches stuff), LEDs are nice too if they match your rig

5. large, (i think that's what a copperhead classes as)

6. a specialised mouse mat that comes with it would be a nice addition and the ability to choose the DPIs to switch between on the fly, has to keep the sensitivity over 2000dpi and 1000hz reaction time though

7. not for gaming, i'ld only get one for multimedia use for a HTPC and i'ld get a reletivly cheap one for that

8. $100 is my limit pretty much but when i get a job i don't think i'ld mind going a bit over that for a top grade mouse

9. when i need a new one, about every two years i guess, if you need a new one every 6 months then you''ve obviously been buying wrong

10. internet, high street stores are overpriced and sell terrible mice, i went into gamestation and they had a standard micrsoft optical mouse labled as a great gaming mouse

Q1, Male. Crysis, Warcraft III, STALKER.

Q2, Yes I am. It's a Razer. Razer all the way! Woo hoo.

Q3. I care about all of those, especially performance and quality. It has to be durable yet very responsive. Pretty LED lights are always a huge plus. Some gaming mouses cost a pretty penny.

Q4, My favorite color would have to be Red to Hot Pink or Green!

Q5, Not a mini mouse, no way. Medium to Large. What matters most is the comfortability. Whether it be a large or medium mouse, it should have a great comfort grip. I prefer a large gaming mouse.

Q6, Honestly, I could care less for extra functions on the mouse. As long as I have the scroll wheel, left and right mouse buttons, I'll be more than satisfied.

Q7, I dont like wireless mouse. For gaming, wired mouse all the way.

Q8, I am willing to pay up to $50 max. Anything more is just too much. Okay, $60 would be the max if it's the most amazing gaming mouse out there with pretty LED lights. ;)

Q9, I've been using my mouse for quite some time now. I think it has been 4-5 years and it's still going strong. Woot, Razer!

Q10. I buy all PC hardware online. Retail stores overprice consumer products especially PC hardware. Online all the way.
