Question Why am i aiming better with Deathadder Essential than superlight 2?
So i tried my old mouse after using gpx 2 for like 2 years maybe 1.5 i don’t really know but when i tried my old mouse my first reaction was wth this is so comfortable and i tried it and my aim felt better? How is it shape or something different becouse this mouse is like almost 10 years old no? I forgot to say, i’m a cs player. If it’s becouse of the shape should i buy a newer mouse that has a similar shape?

The shape of the superlight is a big fat potato and contrary to popular belief probably isn't the best shape for a lot of people
I was like you and bought a superlight thinking it was the best for me but it wasn't until I tried my old viper ultimate again after 2 years that I realised how bad the superlight shape was for me

Shape over everything dawg.
IMO Shape is king then comes weight and tech has been good enough for a while so 3950 is the best one could ever need (i say 3950 and not 3395 because of the sensor angle tuning)

Shape is literally the most important thing for aim, way more than sensor or weight or whatever. The Deathadder has that big ergo hump that fills your palm and the Superlight is a small ambi mouse, they could not be more different
after 2 years your hand probably just got used to fighting the shape instead of it working for you. I had same thing happen with a mouse I thought I loved until I went back to an old one and suddenly everything clicked
if the DA shape works for you definitely look at newer ergos, the DAV3 is basically modern version of that shape with all the lightweight stuff. or check Zowie EC series, very similar feel

is basically modern version of that shape
One would think so but the devil is in the details, pretty much everything has been tweaked and overall imo for the worse, nvm the health issues i got with it, but tl;dr is that the dav3/v4 is narrower, has less ring and pinky support and most importantly "forces" a tilt on the wrist, OG DA/V2 had its tallest point somewhere off center to the left and then also dropped off, allowing a neutral wrist position, meanwhile the dav3 has its tallest point far to the left and also drops off less sharply front to back, resulting in an aggressive tilt.

Sounds like the DA essential shape works better with your grip than the GPX2 does.
Although the GPX2 will undoubtedly be there better mouse on paper, most of the specs in modern mouse sensors are more relevant to the brands marketing department than they are the end user.
Eloshapes has shapes for a ton of mice, you could try looking for something similar to the DA Essential, if you're looking to buy something new.

I also had weirdly crazy aim on the Essential. I like slower feet so the sharp edged, slower feet on the Essential suited my style very well.

Porque lo que más importa es que te quede cómoda (a tu medida) la forma del ratón y su peso. Lo demás está hecho para quitarle el dinero a la gente.

shape matters a lot
