The Salmosa is really small and light, sounds like what you're looking for.

Almost everyone has reported that the buttons squeak, though, and they do on mine too. My cousin had an extra deathadder that I stole and am now using because I was so sick of hearing that goddamned button squeak

no side buttons on the salmosa, to me that's like missing the middle scroll wheel and is unforgivable. I spend more time on the internet and doing other things then in games anyways.

I have one, it squeeked. It's possible to grease it to make it go away, and it's fairly easy if you have any sort of lubricant.

The Salmosa and the Krait are very similar - I personally prefer the Krait (I have both, side by side, as I write this).

If you're moving away from the Krait, what's your reason - so you make sure you're getting that feature / lack of problem, in the replacement mouse.

If your open to a bigger mouse give the deathadder a try. I didnt think i would like it when i saw the size but i've since fallen in love with it.

I'm using a Microsoft Sidewinder X3. It's a fairly small mouse and I like it so far. 2000 dpi is the max I think.

Many have suggested the Salmosa, and that's a pretty obvious go-to mouse for RTS play. It's cheap, simple, and it works well. However, I think the Abyssus is a bit better, and it's made in exactly the same style as the Salmosa. It doesn't have the button squeak problem, and I find its shape easier to situate my ring and pinky on. This makes the grip feel a lot better for me.

Either way, a Salmosa or Abyssus both meet your requirements and also are stellar products.

I have the Salmosa and I love it. The first one I got squeaked. I exchanged it because it was "defective" and the new one didn't squeak.

My salmosa squeaked for a few months, but after a ton of clicks the squeaking went away. I totally recommend it.

My Salmosa squeeked for a couple of months but disappeared after a few hundred thousand clicks.
