Go for deathadder.

Sorry for this, but its my personal opinion
So, its a matter of personal opinion because specs are the same. g400 is more comfortable but deathadder is a bit more stable.

G400, its the new MX-518.
But it will cost around 1.6 only. Use the remaining amount to get a good mouse pad.

control or speed - which mouse pad is better ??

there is no categorization like good or bad

control - better grip
speed - slides faster than control

it depends, for fps i like control

if you are playing as a sniper then nothing beats the control pad

for better understanding read Razer's own guide

I personally use mx518 with razer...control edition. While playing any fps on 1800dpi the mouse slides faster than i need so i have to lower the sensitivity. For OP, when you can play with upto 3600dpi with g400 so no question for purchasing a speed edition pad b'cus the speed will alreadry be too much to handle.

Thanks guys for the reply ... got a speed ed. for my 800 DPI mouse .. and the mouse is just flying over the pad ;-) looks like I've made the right choice.

Thanks guys.. Ordered G400.. hope it will arrive today. Now gonna order Razer Control edition. I have heard that there are three size, omega,standard and alpha.

Which size will be best? Its for my laptop. Maximum time it will be on my bed.
Shall I go for Standard(Medium) or Omega(Small)?

Standard is a good size. Omega might be too small.

Take a ruler and measure. I got the smallest size. It's more than enough!

+1 for Omega - it's slightly smaller than a A4 page and better suited for most people but still it depends on the mouse size and how much one has to move the mouse to shoot accurately - I can even manage with mouse pads which are half the size of Omega Ed. ;-)

If you are a low sensitivity player you will find small size pad inadequate. I bought the small size goliathus first and then i had to buy another pad just coz of that.

As for mouse, both deathadder and g400(read mx518) are great but i find deathadder ergonomically a little better for right handed ppl. Had your budget been slightly on the upper side, lets say 3500, then i would have suggested steelseries kana or kinzu v2 pro. But i repeat both g400 and deathadder are great. Deathadder is ergonomically much more comfortable but on the other hand you have got logitech's after sale services with g400. So take your pick :).

Go for control edition, as the name suggests it gives you better control. Speed edition if for High sensitivity players coz it tends to resist when you try to move your mouse too quickly which suits high sensitivity players. on the other hand you can make big leaps with your mouse on control edition without any resistance whatsoever. again take your pick :) . I have been playing counter-strike 1.6 for 7 years and i have used every mouse and pad that has been mentioned in this thread. So i am just telling you what i have felt from my own experience.Its not an expert opinion coz i am no expert, its just a personal opinion.

I have a deathadder, and I can vouch for it. Its stable, and quite good for FPS.

Also, The aftersales support is great, having had the need to use it myself on one occasion

Go for it
