A mouse has to be the hardest thing to choose!

When it comes to most hardware, it is easy to decide what to get because you can either base it on aesthetics or good old performance, but a mouse is almost purely subjective and will vary from one person to the next.

I bought an MX1000 couple of years ago and to be honest, the thing has always made my hand cramp after not too much use. however, I feel I have now used it long enough to justify the cost, and am in the market for a replacement.

But what the hell to choose? There are some great looking mice out there, and there are some that claim "super duper fix your aimer included to frag those noobs", but.... meh, is it comfy on my hand?

Have decided to move away from Logitech having had the MX1000 - I am sure there are probably vast differences between it and, say, the g5, but the shapes all look very similar.

And buttons! Oh my, so many buttons! Personally, I have never used more than right/left/middle on my MX1000. I am not sure if it's cause the placement is bad and awkward for me to get to them, or if I simply never will use all the buttons because my hands ain't that flexible...

So, have finally rounded it down to a handful:
Microsoft Habu - think the size will be good for my hand
Razer Krait - nice and simple
Raptor M3 - like the "wings" to lessen finger-drag
Genius Navigator 535 - just appeals for some reason
Accuratus Crosshair - cheap as chips, but simple and looks comfy
Razer Deathadder - Nice looking puppy

And for the life of me I can not choose. And I don't want to buy and send back. HELP!

Edit: taken the Diamonback out. Too many reports of *** side buttons getting pressed accidentally.

Edit 2: added the deathadder

Ordered a deathadder last night. So hopefully it's the mouse for me.

Dunno though, really liked the look of the Genius mouse, and the reviews I found were all very positive.

I am surprised not more people have it, because it just comes across as a really good mouse.
 
ARGH!!!

Ordered my Deathadder on the big auction site... only realised today the seller is in Singapore!!!!

Hopefully they have not posted it yet and I can cancel. Just don't feel good about ordering hardare from overseas...

Sigh. Was settings a limit of £40 for a mouse and that one came to under £40 including delivery - now I know why.
 
Well, managed to cancel my order from Singapore.

Although, as I did not want to spend more than £40 including delivery, I am now back to square one picking a mouse.

It's the MS Habu, or the Genius Navigator 535 (I don't know why I keep coming back to the 535, but it just appeals for some reason)
 
Bought the Genius. Just could not justify spending much more on a mouse. Like I said, my max was £40 - at a stretch.

I enjoy gaming, but don't live for it. All I want is a mouse thats no less accurate than my mx-1000, doens't cramp my hands like the mx-1000 and is lighter.

This one should fit the bill nicely.

So anyway, I will report back as I don't know anyone who has one of these :)
