I would hold off on the zowie am because it has some issues like the l and r click rubbing each other. And although I think prediction isn't really a problem, looks like it does have some sort of prediction from the swipe and pattern testing. The button issue will be resolved in the next batch which will be due in March or later.

Its a very small mouse so its more suited for claw/hybrid grib.

Deathadder is a solid mouse and is suited more for palm grip. I like the older 3g model better because the lift off distance is less. Durability is a problem on this mouse though so be sure your able to return it if it fails early.

tl:dr, AM if your a claw grip, wait for next batch and DA if you palm it.

IN other words, take deathadder and NO for zowie am, the sensor doesn't perorm enough for the price tag. tl;dr = DEATHADDER = YES, ZOWIE AM = NO NO NO.

They sacrificed tracking speed and cursor quality for lift off distance.

Zowie AM will work if you don't require extremely high speeds and prefer low CPI.

Not to take away from the sponsors here, but I recently got the SteelSeries Sensei and love it! I guess it depends on your style of play, how you like to hold the mouse etc where you like your button layout.
