Budget?

also what's your fancy, wireless? corded / gaming / 3 button, 5 button? programmable?

i game and use a microsoft optical laser mouse, but then again also have a fujitsu siemens laser mouse as well, both low end 5 button mice, none programmable and now where near as good as a pure gaming mouse, but always worked great for me, so really it's also depends what sort of games you play and your gaming surface used etc

Wired mouse preferably and around 50 quid maxish can go over

Corsair M60/65 or Gigabyte Krypton I would say.

+1 for the M60 probably the best mouse I've used, I game quite a lot and it's been flawless.

The m60 and m65 both look simlar but have different lasers, the m65 has 8200 dpi and the m60 only 5700, but the m60 is more expensive any reason? editted the m60 with the 5700 dpi laser is more expensive

I really like my G9, but it seems the G9x has been discontinued.

I have a G400 on my second machine.

Deathadder 2013... Went from DA 3.5 to a g400 which broke in a month and the 2013 is the best I've used since the old IME 3.0

Its 60 quid tho!

I've also just upgraded to Razer Goliathus Extended Control mouse mat. So much better than just the bare desk before-hand. The occasional jumps I was getting with the G9 have disappeared.

The m60 is instock is the lesser laser gonna make any difference to my gaming or is it going to be something that i would not notice very much

depends how you and what you play, for me no it wouldn't, for some they may say it would

It's too small for people with large hands, I tricked myself into thinking it was fine but it really was awful. Especially the way it forces you to bend your two button fingers unnaturally to the left.

A friend was also convinced the size was fine for him until I mentioned my issues and he literally changed his mind in days.

Embarrassingly I think it's the glamour of owning a $100 mouse that instilled a case of the kings clothes.

+1 for the CMStorm Sentinel Advanced II. Fantastic mouse.
