The mouse I'm currently using is Logitech G400 1 gen.

G400 is a very good mouse but the ergonomics of the mouse IMO are terrible, I use to switch between g400 to IE 3.0 for some games... From the mouses I played around with and liked the ergonomics of it were SS ikari and Corsair (can't remember which one it was, but it had a red button on the side).

Buttons: standard 3 buttons and on the side back and forward button, it would be nice if the mouse had sensitivity change on the go button but it's not necessary.
Sensitivity: I'm a low sensitivity person and I don't usually go past 1000dpi in games, back in the day of CS 1.6 I use to play with 400dpi and 1.5 ingame windows 5/11.
Handgrip: Usually its palm but during the gaming it changes depending on the game, so its hard to say exactly.
Budget: £50 (£5-/+)


1st day I got the IE 3.0 :D

Razer Death Adders are the ones for me.

I would agree if it was the old 1800dpi model ;)

That's fine - you can setup custom profiles and choose any DPI from 100 through to its max:

But laser usually needs a good surface to work properly, I prefer optical as my mouse mats aren't always clean because the are cotton. Lasers from my experience usually prefer harder surface and you need to keep it clean otherwise it behaves weird during faster moves.

I went from an IE 3.0 to a Sensei and absolutely love it :)

Have steelseries products improved over the time? My ikari wasn't exactly trouble-free, the drivers weren't stable either... The only thing I liked the most was the finish and ergonomics. :)

Never had a single problem with it at all, the full fat original Sensei. I'm a keen 1.6/Dota player and it's never let me down. Owned it for about 3 years now :)
 
The new FK1 would suit you and is on the cheaper side of "elite" gaming mice range.

Heard good things about the Roccat Kone Pure Military as well.
 
Take a look at the mionix naos. I upgraded from an mx1000 which is similar shaped to the g400 and IE3 and adore it. The 7000 is optical hs great features like lift of adjustment and rgb backlighting. Cant recommend them enough
 
So it's between Zowie FK1 vs Mionix Naos 7000 (This is soo similiar to ikari :O :D) vs Qpad OM-75 or other model with same ergonomics.

The thing I like about RAT is that its very adjustable, but I'm not sure if the steel/aluminium feel would work for me in the long run.

Edit

My hand came out retarded on the pic, but it's hard to take a picture with my left hand especially when the camera button is on the right...

I've average size hands, 19cm from the middle finger to the base.

love the intelli mouse but couldn't deal with the prediction or acceleration from a 518 or the high arch in the back

I got use to it over the time, but in modern games 400dpi isn't enough for me that's why I need an upgrade.

Zowie FK1 vs Miniox Naos 7000 are my favourites, now I need to decided which one to buy. :confused:
