I eventually replaced it with this Naga2014 that sits on my desk currently. I acquired the G500 to replace the DeathAdder after it fell prey to a new kitten in the house.heh. I started with the Logitech Mouseman Dual-Optical, and eventually moved onto the original DeathAdder. Since my competitive shooter days and the last ambidextrous mouse I was using at the time, I've had 2 Logitech gaming mice & 2 Razer mice. Looking back, I seem to have spent the majority of my time honing my skills competitively on ambidextrous mice. It was not until AFTER SoF2 that I moved onto anything ergonomical in nature - though at that point, I was no longer playing anything competitively. All 3 of those games I played competitively on different ladders at the time. I began playing SoF2 with the MP Beta and through the game's entire shelf-life. Both of these mice were also ambidextrous. From there, I replaced the Sidewinder with the BoomSlang during Q3A and used it for a long time until finally replacing it with the Razer Copperhead. I had gotten my own computer midway through my time in Quake2 - and began gaming on one of the most popular mice at the time, the Microsoft Sidewinder. I began online gaming with Quake 2 and not long thereafter moved over to Quake3Arena. Little preface to this is a small chunk of my gaming and hardware history - so you'll understand my thought process a bit more. So, that brings me to my two choices - the DeathAdder Chroma, or the Taipan.? However, I feel like I need something different for shooters to play like I was always used to playing in the past. Now, don't get me wrong - as a guy who plays WoW and other similar games, the Naga is great and I still intend to keep it around and use it for those games. I had mentioned in another thread that because of the way I tend to grip my mouse, I feel like my 'loose' grip tends to make me more inaccurate than I want to be - and it's costing me on the leaderboards. I say this having been using my Naga2014 for some time now. So - I am in the market for a shooter-friendly mouse.
