Nah, seriously, I bought a GXT-14 from trust as a replaced for a logitech that committed suicide. It's nicely ergonomic (can play for hours and hours without getting the all-too-common "dull fingers" feeling), has a button that you can hit to increase/decrease DPI on the fly and overall is nice to handle, altho I admit its weird shape makes you kind of feel like "omg WTF" the first few hours. And it's under 40$. Can't go wrong really. ![[image loading]](http://www.trust.com/_images/products/hires-previews/16550_GXT14S_Gaming_Mouse.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://www.internity.fr/images/400/t/trust_gxt14s_86031_zoom.jpg) | ||

Customizable weight, I have large hands and also like a big heavier of a mouse. Was very satisfied with mine (Dog chewed through the cord unfortunately.  But it lasted 2 years until then) | ||

![[image loading]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21YHd%2B3K9FL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) I just ordered this one (Sharkoon FireGlider Black edition) to replace my Intellimouse. I need a mouse that is better on different surfaces, because I don't want to rely on a gaming mousepad all the time. In the summer my hands get sweaty and after a while the Intellimouse starts acting up and jumping around. It has adjustable weights and 6 programmable buttons, which work even without a special driver. | ||

Unless you mean you're using like your couch as a mousepad. Also: http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=1265679 | ||

+ hand shape, hand position(claw) is different from person to person + the level of softness of the left/right buttons on the mouse(sometime this can hold off your apm) + weight, smoothness, appearence its kinda hard to decide which one is the best but "which one is the best FOR YOU" to me it could be this one microsoft wired optical mouse 3000 ![[image loading]](http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/images/mouse/prod_top-M_noteOpt3k-lt.jpg) reason: its light, the rate of rebounce on 2 buttons are quite fast, mobility for gaming on laptop or it could be a razer abysus which i just grap from the store 22 hours ago... Edit: i strongly recommend EVERYONE WHO IS LOOKING FOR A PROPER MOUSE to look into razer's support website where they teach you how to choose your own mouse base on your own information. It could be a non-razer mouse but check it out!!!! | ||

I have owned Razer, MS and Logitech mice before and they just feel cheap, nasty and inaccurate in comparison. ![[image loading]](http://dragonsystem-web.com/catalog/images/Ergo%20555%20Laser.jpg) My second choice if I had one would be Logitech though. | ||

Razer Destructor Mousepad This is seriously awesome. Had a steel series pad before but this is something extra. I have had alot of different pads in my years of gaming and this beats everything by a lot. I hadn't tested it but read some reviews and it was recommended by Razer to go with my new mouse: Razer Imperator And the two make an amazing couple. I switched to a pure palm grip and cranked my sensitivity up by quite a lot and I could just feel after a couple of games this weekend now how much my control have improved. Just yesterday I found myself thinking "holy crap" when I was in an early rush micro battle and pulled off some sweet moves. Anyway, two points to this: 1) Don't neglect your mouse pad. 2) No matter what you end up with, good hardware can and will improve your game so play around until you find YOUR combo. The above is mine right now... | ||

The xai is the better mouse, it's noticeably smoother and it's tracking is remarkable. But it doesn't 'feel' very nice, especially in RTS. It's probably better in first person games though. My problems with it is mostly down to the buttons one the right side of the mouse. With my (above average hand size) and grip, I can't avoid clicking those right buttons. Now they aren't bound to anything, but it's so annoying to me. Also, I could never get used to a DPI/sensitivity that just felt right to me. Especially in starcraft where I couldn't move the mouse around as fast as I could with the MX518 without really ramping up the DPI. When you do that then your micro gets real difficult. So I binned it (well put it back in its box for ebay) and I'm going to buy a new 518. I wish I could have the 518 with the newer laser sensors and everything else the same. That would be the *perfect* RTS mouse. | ||

I would NEVER by a mouse unless I was able see how it feels in my hand first. It doesn't matter how many buttons, how much DPI, or whatever: if your hand doesn't feel comfortable using it then it's not worth the money. | ||
