That guy posts this in reddit, same problem as me:


TLDR AT BOTTOM

Hey guys, not sure if this is the right place to post but thought I'd give it a shot!

So I've had the razer chroma for a few years now and I have been super happy with the feel of the mouse and the accuracy I've had with it.

A couple of months back I was experiencing problems with my middle click button (it would just sometimes stop working), I use that for league of legends. Then my left click would stop dragging mid use and was causing problems in my music production!

So I started looking at a new mouse to replace this one sincerely fixing the one I had seemed too risky.

So the day after there was a black Friday sale for the elite version with a different sensor and improvements etc. So I decided to bite the bullet and buy the better version.

So before I had the chroma I had the 3.5g deathadder and when I got there chroma it just felt amazing in comparison and adjusting to the new mouse was essentially instant!

I got a new desktop with a 144hz monitor etc etc. So it's been a great experience!

So the new mouse arrived, I was super excited to have the same amount of improvement over the chroma, or at least a one that was just as good without the problems I've been having!

So I set the new one up and changed the dpi steps to the same as the chroma but the elite feels off.

Now this is a really hard thing to describe to someone because it's a feeling more than anything else.

I have played a lot of Cs go and a lot of intense fps and not to toot my own horn, but I've practiced enough to be pretty consistent with my aim. My first experience was me starting up csgo and I felt like I was either a second behind or a second in front of the new mouse. I just felt super out of sync with it, now I don't know if the elite sensor is better or faulty but it just feels wrong.

Over the weeks I have gotten used to it a bit and I can just about manage with league (with attack move) but there is something weird about this mouse that I can't put my finger on. It just doesn't feel accurate.

I tried to Google it but I haven't seen anybody experiencing the same thing!

It could be as simple as the feet of one of the mouse is smoother than the other or maybe the input lag is better on the elite but I'm used to it being slower or vice versa!

I don't know, I just feel like I'm crazy but I definitely feel it. The box it came in was a bit beaten up when I received it but I doubt that had anything to do with it!

I'm theory I would like to return it so I could buy a new chroma instead or perhaps a new brand of mouse that lasts more than a year or 2!!

TLDR: Replaced my chroma deathadder with the elite but the elite feels inaccurate and worse but It's impossible to say whether or not it's just in my head!

How long have you had the mouse and have you ran the sensor calibration tool in Synapse yet?
1 year i think, yes, i calibrate i see improvements, but isnt that precisely like my older cooler master mouse, and the older mouser sensor was 2x worst than it

As an FPS player myself, I know from experience that changing mice can affect aim in general. But this could also easily be a sensor issue. I can check the warranty status and look for possible firmware fixes if you PM me the serial number of your DeathAdder Elite.
