Comparing Ergo Finger Ledges + DA V3 wired’s build quality

Published 2023-05-04
Just an informal video comparing the finger ledges on the ergo GOATs. Also my DA V3 wired has noticeably better build quality than my white wireless one. Have a good one guys

    Build quality/QC is noticeably better on my wired DAV3 unit than on my wireless one though it’s not quite perfect since the left click feels more shallow/provides less feedback than the right one. Perhaps given it released later they were able to correct some of the QC issues that seem to have plagued the wireless version. I do have a strong preference for the chalky/matte shell on the wireless white DA V3 however. I’m just not a fan of the perfectly smooth plastic with a “sticky” coating myself. It feels kind cheap imo/less premium to me than something like the Superlight with its rubberized soft touch shell/coating or the white wireless DA V3 Pro shell/coating but it seems other people disagree with me there so to each their own and all that. I would really love the DA V3 finger ledge except I don’t think it extends far enough. If you’re someone who holds the mouse dead straight on and your ring finger sits far enough forward to touch that hard edge it does not feel good at all imo. The ledge either needed to extend farther on the right side of the mouse or they should’ve just rounded the corners how they do on the EC2 and Outset seems to me. The EC2 when your finger sits on the rounded corner it can feel a bit odd but not bad. Outset actually has my favorite feeling when the ring finger happens to sit on the rounded edge. Hopefully we get a wireless version someday so we can be rid of its horrendous stick like cable. My only real gripes with the Outset shape is that I wish the front portion (where the clicks are) extended a bit further since I don’t like the feeling of my fingers coming off the end and the profile sits slightly higher than I’d subjectively prefer. I say this every single video but what I’d give for an EC1.5 (EC2L, you could call it whatever) since I love Zowie’s EC mice but the 2 is slightly too small and the 1 is a bit too large for me. Ah well. EDIT: Apologies for my finger creeping into the frame for this one, that’s my bad. Have a good one guys,

    Im thinking about getting an outset ax but im not too sure, I use pincer claw and some palm contact because i like resting on the mouse 17.5x9.5cm. Ive had the deathadder v2 but I had felt there wasn't enough room for resting both pinky and ring on the side as it flares out and back hump was a bit too large for me. Another caveat is that the thumb buttons is too forward. The main concern is if 9.5 width is enough, as ive heard a lot of people say it feels like a large mouse

    Nice video! Do you know if the problem with the scroll weel jumping alone sometimes in the wireless version is fixed with the wired one? I could not find this information anywhere

    Awesome comparison! Unfortunately, I've had similar experiences with the build quality on both the wired and wireless Deathadder V3. One unit had a really heavy right click and the other one had sideflex, which is kind of disappointing given the $150 price tag. Even my wired one without quality control issues felt rather cheap in comparison to my Zowie and Vaxee mice, but that may only be a placebo because of the lower weight. I'm currently looking for a mouse with a smaller shape than the Deathadder, I'm thinking of the Outset AX, EC2-C or EC3-C but I'm not quite sure which, any personal recommendations? Keep up the good work! :)

    question, does only the knucle palm touch the dav3 or lower palm as well? I have 19x10 skinny hands and i find the mouse small also i had the v3pro and did not like the coating its too slippery when i sweat a little, is this coating on the wired one better? what does it feel like? thanks
