With a good sensor it'd probably be a sweet mouse, a lot of people seem to love the shell | ||

Talking BW B (B+ in 2v2, but that's a couple of years back now) and SC2 Masters. So not Pro, but definitely not shite either. Not only is it a great, small mouse. It's dead cheap. great for Starcraft and so incredibly durable. I've got mine for about 5 years or so now. Been traveling to and from the UK/Germany (I'm an Interpreter, so basically 2-3 trips a month) for a while now, which means lots of knocking the thing around, and I'm always taking my laptop + mouse for a few games in the evenings. I might be very biased, but for my needs nothing beats my lovely Abyssus. | ||

Take a look at the logitech g302/g303 (or even the cm storm xornet, though that's a lower end mouse the sensor works well unless you expose it to certain types of strain such as low sensitivity FPS swipes and the shell is good) | ||

I had a razer abyssus which became spoilt after a year, then replace it with a deathadder 3.5 black that have lasted for like 3 years already and very happy with. | ||

They also have pretty big failure rates for mouse clicks etc - and some of the worst drivers, where turning them on will negatively affect the tracking of your mouse in a significant way. Worse, some of their newer mice do not have onboard memory so using the driver is REQUIRED to use anything aside from default settings | ||

I browsed gear of SC2 (ex BW too) players and most of them use Razer Abyssus. http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Pro_gear | ||

honestly there really is no difference between a regular mouse and a gaming mouse aside from customizable dpi and macros and shit. | ||

The Deathadder 2013 is good but not amazing. No onboard memory so has to use the awful driver 24/7. Some quoted lag/smoothness with the sensor compared to other mice. Questionable build quality and longevity honestly there really is no difference between a regular mouse and a gaming mouse aside from customizable dpi and macros and shit. for someone who doesn't particularly care about having awesome-tier mouse accuracy and who never loads an FPS game, that can be true - although stuff like the glide and usability of mouse shape is a big thing too. If you use any random mouse on whatever desk with no mouse feet or mousepad, then of course you don't care | ||

You might have to try several ones and figure out which one is the best for you. I always prefered small and light mouses. I can not play with heavy/big ones because my hands are so small. You also have to play around with mouse speed, DPI and acceleration (i personally played without acceleration). Ahhh the MX300. This is definitely the best mouse ever made, but unfortunately has been out of production for like 10 years. I use the G100s which is as close to that as they make anymore. | ||

Pretty much all of the mice brands with more than a few products have some shit and some usable-good stuff. The Rival is good if you want a big mouse | ||
