i use kind of half palm half claw-ish grip where i palm the mouse but have the finger more claw grip styled to get some more precision

it's a great mouse, comes from a swedish company and isn't that mega expensive like most razer mouses. it has a rubber coated grip that's off great quality, works awesome when moving the mouse a lot very fast without slipping and getting your hand in an uncomfortable position.

Any mouse thats convenient to use, as pointed out, starcraft isnt that mouse-dependant.

One of the best mice ive used is a logitech mx518, used it for ut2004 (had the pleasure of playing with some of the biggest names at that time). The mousepad is also extremely important

Since i tried the logitech mini optical out, the razer lachesis stands abandoned on the desk covered with dust(ok i had to clean it yesterday). No z-axis problems, no doubleclick problems, high dpi is not needed for rts. I recommend a very simple but reliable mouse for sc2, forget about those "gaming" mice, no real pro uses them, unless they want to show off for the sponsor.

Agreed.

Pick the one that's most comfortable for you.

High DPI/precision (different from just sensitivity, as you can have high DPI and lower the sensitivity for higher accuracy), lack of drift control/acceleration and other "features" of crappy mice that screw up your aim.

For $40, a mid-range gaming mouse is going to be the best you can do for gaming (e.g deathadder, logitech gaming mice).

Razer is baller. Deathadder is comfy as hell. Haters gonna hate and buy crappy dell and microsoft mice and act like they're not worse. I am in fact a Razer plant. I am here to sell you things.

well a "gamer" mouse is made to be comfortable. a bulky square office mouse won't help you out but a gaming mouse made to fit your hand and to help improve your own performance without getting tired or stiff as fast in your hand.

so :O a gamer mouse would help but it's all about the one that fits your hand. DPI or hz won't help you but comfortable-ness will

It also depends on how you grip your mouse as well. Only my fingertips touch the mouse and I use my fingers to guide it so the form doesn't really matter to me. That way, I'm perfectly fine with using a basic Logitech or MS optical or laser mouse.

Hmm... I'm considering a Razer lycosa, I can get it for pretty cheap so, is it actually worth it? (since we're talking about razer stuff anyway) or should I go try out the Razer Salmosa. I have the Razer Deathadder and I actually want a lighter mouse for starcraft. Any thoughts?

Logitech MX500/MX518 are good.
The Logitech G5 series is essentially an MX518 with weights in it, and a more durable wired cord (embroidered with a high-grade plastic)

I recently bought a Steelseries Kinzu in preparation for SC2, and because I was tired of my wireless logitech mx620.

The Kinzu feels really nice in my hand texture-wise. This is the kind of thing you need to go to a brick and mortar store for, though, because everyones hands and preferences are different.

Also, the Kinzu looks very clean, sleek, and matches the rest of my setup very well.

Another thing I like about the Kinzu is the relatively clean software that steelseries makes available. It lets you store 3 profiles (left or right handed, DPI) in the mouse, so you can take your mouse to another computer, and have the same settings on the mouse without installing the driver.

The Kinzu also has customizable DPI, anywhere from the low DPI settings that many FPSers prefer, to more-twitchy-than-you-need. There is a toggle button on the mouse that lets you change DPI on the fly, so I keep one setting for CSS, and another for SC2.

From what I've read (a lot) the consensus is that DPI above 2 or 2.5k is really not useful, due to the resolutions of modern monitors. Perhaps when we get to 16 : 9 (damn smiley) screens with 3k+ vertical pixels, these ridiculous 5k+ DPI laser mice will be necessary.

Edit: Thought I would add, I narrowed it down to Steelseries Kinzu and Razer Salmosa, but I didn't like the seemingly extra long buttons on the Salmosa. I do appreciate Razer's sponsoring of SC2 tourneys though...
