which gaming mouse to buy?

I'm currently upgrading peripherials in my PC and want to get a new gaming mouse. This time i'm going to ask for advice before jumping in and buying something that's rubbish.

I need a mouse for a big hand, sweat proof surface (no gum), wide, preferably with braided cable or wireless.

I'm resting my whole hand on the mouse while playing (i'm no claw style mouse holder ;-)

.

I looked through OC's offer and found Steelseries WoW and MS X8 Sidewinder to be close to my specs. Although i'm worried Steelseries going to be useful only to play WoW and not other games (macros, configuring buttons) and X8's going to be too small...

Razer Deathadder, best mouse I've had, preferable for a palm grip

Yeah, had a Razer before, their rubber coating is not for me as my hands get a bit sweaty and stick to the mouse, tearing the rubber away after some time.

I'm using a Razor Lachesis. Pricey but awesome mouse, best i've ever used!
