I used to use the MX518 and its a really great mouse. But i switched to the diamondback 3g and have been very pleased with it. I use the palm grip and the diamond back better fits my hand for the purpose.

Razer Abyssus!
Love it so much
|
I've been using a touchpad for about 5 years now for everything, that includes playing Starcraft and whatnot (one of the many reasons why I suck at Starcraft). Although back home my parents have a Logitech Mini hooked up to their computer and it's really nice and responsive.
|
I don't know if Deathadder is the best one, but that's what I'm using atm so I'll vote for it.

A touchpad? Can you win aganst anything remotely sentient with that?

I have pretty small hands so my switch from a G5 to Salmosa helped me a lot RTS-wise. Can say im quite pleased with it even if it does take some time to get used to the shape of the salmosa. But, it is still very light and you wrist won't get fatigued easily which is a big plus.
So my vote goes for the salmosa but i can't really say which i would prefer. Im hoping to buy the abysus and try it out any time soon when i'll have some extra cash.

If someone here wants to get some information on why a mouse is good and what mouses fit those conditions, of course shape is up to preference so it is not included in the benchmark.
My personal favorites are the SteelSeries Kinzu and Intellimouse Optical 3.0.
Kinzu doesn't really work for FPS games though because it seems to have huge +/- acc issues on low sensitivity.
Deathadder is currently considered to be the best mouse when it comes to the insides, you can think in many ways about the shape though as I myself don't really like it for example.

Lol, Mini Optical has absolutely awful tracking, you must give some good mouses a try if you feel like that one is nice.

WARNING: the best mouses aren't even shown here!!!! if you're looking for a good sc1 or sc2 mouse.. use what the pros use... Logitech G1 and Razor Salmosa mini.. there are more that pros use.. but the idea is u want something insanely light and small enough you can use a claw grip

Pros don't use Razer Salmosa Mini? G1 is hardly used anymore by anyone, Boxer and Stork bot have switched back to mini opticals a long time ago and I haven't seen anyone use anything but the mini optical in a long time.
And even the Mini Optical is a terrible piece of equipment for anything but SC which requires no good sensor from the mouse, for fps games or even SC2 you will easily notice the awful tracking of it.
For games where the mouse actually needs to be good the progamers usually use Wheel Mouse Optical 1.1, Intellimouse Explorer 3.0, Deathadder or something along those lines.

I use a logitech mini optical as a travel mouse, and a G5 as my home mouse. the LMO just feels so right in my hand, but I like the G5 for actually getting work done on my desktop computer. Also have the Razer Salmosa - it's not bad all things considered, since it's one of the few razer mice that fit my hand.

Razer DeathAdder... for Left Handed gamers! Fucking finally  Can't wait to get mine

Haha~ I guess it's true, but the only comparison I have is the mice hooked up to the computers at libraries and my touchpad~
Honestly though I've always been more of a spectator than a player anyways.

Although razer products are REALLY amazing, the diamondback causes carpal tunnel. I'd go with some of their newer models for the shape.
