I can really recommend the Revoltec FightMouse Pro. It's pretty cheap (around 30e) and I think it's pretty good, too. So maybe u wanna check that out since not a lot of people know of this mouse.
Edit: Would also recommend getting a decent mousepad. I have the Razor Destructor which was 30e (as much as my mouse and its really good. But I don't think that is applicable in your case, so just get some gaming mousepad for 10$, I think u wont regret it since the tracking is usually nicer and the surface more 'stable' in regards to traction than playing on ur table or a regular mousepad.

Im using a semi-expensive wireless logitech... I like it a lot. The shape and it's really smooth, but I don't suggest getting wireless... it can skip sometimes.

been really considering getting the death adder, and from what i've read in various threads in websites it seems like a very good, safe choice.

I've gone through a TON of gaming mice in my day, use them heavily in both SC2/BW and competitive FPS play (mainly CS 1.6, FPS players tend to be very picky about their mice and that includes myself).

Now before I go on to recommendations, keep in mind I play at a very low sensitivity, and my ingame scroll speed is only at 30%. I use 400 DPI sensitivity, 7/11 Windows sensitivity, registry fix to disable all mouse acceleration, and ingame I use 50% sensitivity (and 3.0 in CS 1.6 for any FPS players). This results in a good drag about halfway across my 12" wide mousepad to cross the entire screen (full mousepad to 360 in FPS games).

All that being said, my 3 favorite mice I've ever used are the 3.0, MX518, and the DeathAdder.

The DeathAdder and 3.0 actually feel very similar, at least to me, and are both very sturdily built, but I find they're best suited to a person with small to medium sized hands. The MX518 is built like a tank and is built for medium to large handed people. I have fairly large hands and prefer the MX518 by quite a bit over the other 2.

I would rank them like this:

1. MX518
2. DeathAdder
3. 3.0

The DA is only ahead of the 3.0 because it looks awesome, and it has a notched scroll wheel, which only makes a difference in FPS games and only for people who use scroll wheel to jump. Otherwise it's a tie between those two.

I believe it is the Logitech mini optical... really cheap. like a few bucks if you know where to go.

Keyboard? For all I know I could safely assume it's the SEM DT-35. Hell I'm pretty sure it is. Cost around $30 in some sites (without shipping). Solid keyboard I heard. Otherwise a standard wired keyboard would do if you're on budget.

As for the last mouse, it's a Logitech RX250 Optical Mouse. Looks like a standard mouse. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826104081

@monion

I wouldn't say the keyboard would be bad. The mouse? probably yeah.

Don't know how easy this is to obtain but:

[image loading]

I got this thing for free with my msi gx720. Goes up to 3200 dpi, has a button for changing the side buttom macros and a button for changing dpi which is coded based on the color of the scroll wheel, you can add up to 7 weights into it as well. also the colors match my laptop

one question I have, do those frictionless "gaming surfaces" that seem to sell for downright stupid prices actually make a difference in how well you play or not?

I have a very similar looking WOLF kings mouse (no weights though)
its a bit heavy but still very good !!

also for your question on gaming surface. i would have to stay it depends !
if you have a medium sized mousepads and the mouse is pretty good in precision (no flickering of the mouse on scree etc.) then your good.

if you have a small mouse, then id say upgrading to a good gaming surface is a good choice. for like 10-20$ max.
