Intellimouse 3.0 vs Razer DA
Hi,
I need a new mouse for RTS gaming. I`m using a S&S pad so which mouse do you think will preform better - Intelli 3.0(~35 euro) or Razer Deathadder(~55 euro)? Thanks in advance.

Just switched from IME 3.0SS to the Razer DA. And if you wanna step up you're game I can recommend it warm. It feels better for you're wrist since the Razer DA uses 1800DPI instead of 400. I don't feel the same stiffness after payed sessions like 3-4 hours and more. The buttons are way better than the IME 3.0. Side buttons are better shaped and more exact. The mouse is a little bit higher which makes the mouse 1 & 2 buttons more distinct. As We know the IME 3.0 has rather poorly quality of that. Then the surface of the DA as we know from earlier editions of Razer buttons covers the whole side of the palm which feels wonderful. So atm I cant say that there any better mouse out there with the rather same design as the IME 3.0. Damn it! I feel like Razer salesman don't take me for that=D

3.0 i'd reccomend. You can get a 3.0 for alot cheaper than 35 euros buddy. If i remeber correctly they are selling them on play.com for £18 sterlin which would roughly translate as just over 21 euros or somthing like that.

I found that ie3.0 is MORE COMFORTABLE for large hands. DA is very good with no doubt, but recently, after few months of use ie3.0 and DA I understood that explorer 3.0 is a legendary mouse for real. And it will be for a bit longer, just when a new mouse, with THE SAME shape as ie3.0's will be made. I think that DA is a bit too high :) it feels too thick. If razer create a new mouse with ie3.0's shape, I will buy it !

m1pe, you are so wrong.
The reason why IME 3.0 is preferred by professional gamers is that there is no prediction for movements, unlike in Razer or Logitech mouses. It messes up the aim and overall feeling of the mouse.

RTS gaming is more about the keyboard than the mouse so i should probably say inteli because razor often have problems with their mouses...
and people who say like this "ms 3.0 is almost 10 years older than DA..." they should probably think about if the product is good i mean we still use the radio? and how old isn that???...
dosent mather if its older as long as it is a good product and full fill the purposes etc etc..
but anyway when the shieet comes down, it's all upp to you what mouse you prefer as an individual if you like maybe a big mouse a small mouse etc, my answer to you is that you should probably check if any of your friends got a DA or a inteli mouse and ask if you can test them, before you buy one of them :)
