Having used the G400's predecessor (MX 518) for years, I never had an issue with slippage. It doesn't have rubberized sides, so if you're having slippage issues with the Deathadder, you may have it with the G400 too.
+1 for logitech g400, great mouse, been using mine for 2 years. Replaced a shitty razer habu that the left click broke on in a month. If you used the MX 518 or the microsoft intellimouse back in the day this is probably a good fit for your hand.
Just got a DeathAdder2013 to replace my aging G400 (patches of the rubberised coating missing is annoying), quite happy with it. Has rubber strips instead of rubberised coating, the buttons/mouse-wheel are sharp and responsive, it's matte all over and you can turn off the bling lights on it.
After seeing this thread yesterday I went to the local store and picked up both, been wanting to try a gaming mouse for a while now. I personally like the DeathAdder2013 more. It fits my hand better considering my hand size and how I like to hold the mouse. It also is less slippery then the G400.
In the end though since they are shaped differently I would go with whatever fits your hand best...
ive changed my mouse from a mx518 (cuz much too small) into a deathadder 3.5g - and i dont have any problems with slippery - its only a bit dirty at the left and right side of it, but just clean it up once per day and all good? or you might get some glue and mod ur "old" mouse...? dont think you will be happy with an g400 because its much smaller as the DA and if its too small for your hands you will aim like ...

It's worth noting that if you had emailed Logitech customer support about the rubber coming off your G400 they would have mailed you a brand-new one for free (you would have had to mail the broken one to them but they give you a shipping label). Logitech has probably the best customer service of any company I know of.
I had the one in that picture. Great mouse but the mouse wheel broke (both the scroll and the clicking) so replaced it with a Logitech. Mouse before that was another Razer that also broke, won't be using them again.

I guess I'l a bit different in that I eventually found that the MX518 was a bit too large and heavy for my taste (I've been switching between my traditional claw grip and fingertip grip to see which I like better). I recently went with the CM Storm Scout and have been loving it (~15g lighter and 23mm shorter than the G400/MX518). However, you should go with the mouse that fits your handsize and grip-style (if you have a Microcenter or Fry's nearby, just go and play around with their gaming mice to find which feels the best to you).
If you can't, I found this chart useful for making mouse weight/sizing comparisons:
With the G400 something that's always annoyed me is the mousewheel on it. It doesn't have a nice sharp click or notching when scrolling up/down like the MSIE3.0 or the the DA, it has more of a mushy/springy resistance to it.

It's from wear and tear where you have your grip on the mouse. It's only started happening recently but it's a snowball effect that only gets worse once it's started. I've had the mouse since 2011 and this is the first I've heard about getting replacements so is this something still worth chasing up?

I had a logitech mouse/keyboard combo I bought on sale from microcenter many moons ago. The mouse coating started coming off after years of usage. I emailed their customer support and they told me they'd be happy to replace it but they don't produce that model anymore. Would it be alright if they instead replaced it with the newer model?
I didn't object.
I didn't mail them the wireless dongles, only the keyboard and mouse
The G400 is great except for the mouse cord. I ran into the dreaded USB disconnect issue after a few months of use. Logitech replaced it for me pretty quickly and I'm using my second one without issues so far. Another downside I can see is that the mouse is fairly large and heavy. It takes a bit of getting used to for people with smaller hands. I used the Deathadder 3.5G before and while it's good, the glossy sides result in gunk accumulating very fast. I see that the Deathadder 2013 has rubberized grips and I'd be willing to go back just because of that.
I have a deathadder, and I love it. The only advice I have is don't put push to talk on the thumb buttons, that's where mine is bound and after about 6 months it caved in. It's still mostly functional, but there's no feedback as to whether or not i'm pressing it right.
Razer breaks down. Mice, keyboards, headsets - it's all worthless. You're paying for nothing but the gaming brand and getting a product of awful quality in return. Their older stuff was decent, but anything released in the last year or two is not worth buying.

I've used my deathadder for a few years now. I would never consider a different alternative. It's by far the best gaming mouse I've ever owned. I've tried others, but its just not the same and imo nothing really compares D;

I've had my mouse for 4 years... My razer headset for 2. maybe you're doing it wrong. :B
Also, apologies for derping and double posting. :V
dpi doesnt mean anything it's just dots per inch. if your resolution is say, 1080p, anything over 1080dpi will actually cause you to be less precise. what matters is polling rate. g400 has 1ghz, thats as fast as it gets and very good, dunno bout deathadder1800, but the current deathadder 3500's do have 1ghz polling rate, so its a question of cosmetics/ergonomics really. If u want the rubber go for the g400
This is the best mouse for everything. The button locations are so spot on and the size just darn good. Also the ability to detach into wireless makes it so worthwhile.
I just hope they won't shut down this series.
personally i have the Logitech G700 and it is fantastic!
As a G700 user myself i can also confirm that it is a fantastic mouse, fits my hand so nicely and switching wired/wireless on a whim just makes life just that little bit more pleasant.

but seriously, logitech is great, g400 is great. Enough said
Well, that cost twice as much as g400, so I'm not really interested in that
The best place to find a mouse that fits your needs is this TeamLiquid Mouse Thread.

Once you have installed the drive you can use it 'offline' immediately.
Buy a Logitech. Seriously. Longer warranties too.

he also says stay away from Razor, I've heard that sentiment echoed before
