Find me a mouse! Roccat?

Hi guys, well I'm after some mouse advice...

Have been a long-time user of MS Intellimice and my current (v3.0) is dying (single clicks are double clicks 30% the time!).

I've previously been put off Logitech as had 2 or 3 (many moons ago) and still see lots of reports of them dying.

Same could be said of Razer, I had one of the original Boomslang (sp?) that died 18 months, for the cost I'd have expected at least 5+ years out of it. After many weeks of hassling them they point blank refused to even service it and charge me! For a £150+ mouse (this was about 8 years ago?) I felt very betrayed... (But the only thing I can do as a customer is refuse to purchase any of their products ever again! ;) )

I'm very much a palm player and, although I don't have large hands, I find the size of the Intellimouse to be ideal...

The Zowie mice sound well recommended, but I'm not totally sold on the look of them.

Have lots of reports on Roccat mice, as well as amazing support & service from them, so would like some recommendations from people here on them... Not a huge number of owners here with them, but I'm sure there'll be lots of opinions!

Any models less prone to problems than others? Go!

:note: Typed on my new Duckie Zero Brown-MX LOVING IT! (arrived today) :D

Big mouse, the first two in the ballpark of the Intellimouse Explorer 3.0. The Logitech is like the classic MX510 / MX518. Palm grip mouse.

Sensei, Zowie AM are more like the WMO 1.1.

I stay away from Roccat.
 
Every mouse is prone to problems. It's pot luck whether you get one without issues. I should know, I've purchased almost every mouse over the years. Just find one that fits your hand. Comfort is the most important factor in any mouse. A good player will do just as well on a £5 jobby as a £100 "technically superior" mouse, so long as it fits nicely.
