Under 2.5k deathadder for comfort, just make sure you have a internet connection when first connecting the mouse, if you do not download the drivers and sync mouse won't work.

Until you download drivers deathadder is useless, its dpi will be pushed too high and it'll be hard to control and it will just work like a microsoft basic mouse. After getting drivers it becomes ok but there are little nags: *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/peripherals/168333-complaint-i-hate-razer.html

Well Razer does know how to screw things up don't they. I faced a lot of issues with Razer Onza and now I have to ship it to Delhi to get a CN.

Buy Steelseries Kinzu.

Razer's build quality is rubbish these days.

Can't argue with that, but not so sure about Steelseries either.

BTW: Roccat released some new mouses here like Lua, check em out.

Both are good. :) But OP just asked between those two so.......

OP just wants to buy a good gaming mouse to play CS at around 2.5K max.. So any good and reliable mouse will do..:)

In that case Logitech G400 would be my first option.

i use palm grip

can anyone tell about DA black edition
DA and DA black edition are same mouse, one has a glowing middle button and razer logo(which can be turned off if needed), black edition has none, but the surface texture looks a tad better, the texture just looks better, feels the same in hand.

For me it was a tough call, but since I didn't care about some lights I actually would have gotten the black edition, since it plainly looks better, but in the end had to go for the normal one because they were out of stock in my local store.

Take the Black edition if lights are not your thing, BUT in normal edition the light on the razer logo and middle mouse button pulses to notify when a profile switch is taking place, but it won't notify you about which profile is currently selected as after the short pulse the light goes back to the normal pattern, so it not very useful unless you are looking at the light when the switch is taking place, also you can't switch the profile from the mouse(have to use software or auto switching), so at the end in my judgement the black edition is better. Now its your call.

I own it and its good. No point going for such expensive mouse without any bling, at least what I believe.

Afaik it has not launched in India yet, but yes, its better under 3.5k, after that you have the Logitech G500 which should blow it away with features.

Wait then, but only if you get it sub 3k, if its near 3.2k add 200/- and get the G500, it has on the fly dpi switching(led indicated), 5700DPI sensor, 3 left thumb buttons, freescroll wheel(switchable), weight tuning and frankly a much better software to boot.

Both looked same on the first glance but the transformer one was kinda eye-catchy with its yellow color.. Whats the difference in them??

Only the color, and also the color may come off soon, normal texture on the normal DA will last longer.

Its the law of the universe, the signature editions always cost extra, that's why they call them collectors edition or signature edition etc.

That is absurd..

To the OP, checked the price as you had asked..
DA- 2.25k
Transformer-2.5k

Given a choice, i would buy this one just for the looks and not the controls-*www.flipkart.com/razer-naga-molten-special-mouse/p/itmczbn37bpxwbyq

Its for MMO users, look at the no. of side buttons, plus you have any idea how much that costs? For that amount one could get Logitech G7x, the father of all gaming mice, anyway, don't get sidetracked here, let the op decide, any further queries from the OP?

Dragon Age II will not come under 2.4K locally also as the Transformer one was costing roughly 2.5K locally..

Transformer and Dragon Age II cost roughly the same so even if it is AVAILABLE then it would not be below 2.5K..

Hey brother, if you're serious to play CS than I would suggest to go with DA 2013 if you prefer palm grip otherwise kinzu v2 for claw grip.

Reason why not DA old model and kinzu v1: DA old have some bugs, bad quality than steelseries but still good sensor though you won't find those problem in DA 2013 which is really good and all previous model bugs are fixed so buy newer edition or if not available than at-least go with DA black edition.

Kinzu have some acceleration problems (this is what other pros. told me after using) and should not be preferred in any manner rather than go with kinzu v2 which is excellent mouse and the only problem is with sensor.

* Both mouse are superb for FPS games (CS) and in the end all what left is your choice finally acc. to your grip and I would like to mention that both mouse performs better in cloth surface.
