Both of those mice are good as far as I know, but I really think the best gaming mouse, not only for SC2 is the SteelSeries Xai Laser its simple awesome and it just an awesome mouse.
Still both of those mice you have are good too.

I've been using the Logitech MX518 for ages now. Such a great mouse and it's pretty cheap.

What about the Roccat Kone [+] or the Roccat Kone v2?

Logitech G1, MC and Stork use it. Enough said :D. No seriously it's a great simple, light and well balanced mouse with an excellent sensor

It all depends on how big your hands are and what grip style you like the best.
MX518 is great and cheap for big hands. Kinzu is great for small hands.

Whats the g500 like compared to g9x, thinking about buying a g9x, i think i have a palm grip, (currently using a deathadder v1) but i generally use my fingers/write and not my whole arm to move the mouse

I wouldn't recommend the G9x if you're using a palm grip. It's strictly fingertip/claw. It feels horrible (in my opinion) with a palm grip.

well tbh not sure if i use much of a palm grip, its probably more of a fingertip/claw grip, since i think i always use fingers/wrist to move my current mouse.
not sure if my hands are particularly big but my palm doesnt fully touch/rest on my old v1 deathadder

go to tech specs

do you have any advice of the 3 mouses?

You must buy a mouse with no increase in dpi or at least option for default (125hz). OSX has a peculiar malfunction with cursor jumping with any dpi over default (more the higher the dpi). Seriously, it will totally fuck up your mouse.

A mod should really delete the poll, seeing as the Kinzu has an absolutely terrible sensor.

Hi

I want to switch from my wireless nano VX, thinking of going to the Razer Salmosa but would like to know if there are any other mouses out there.

I'm looking for a similar size to the nano VX, with a similar (light) weight.

Planning on buying asap so any advice would be greatly appreciated =)

I bought Steelseries Ikari Laser recently and notice that overall it is an amazing mouse - 2 macro buttons in the perfect place, DPI adjustable to 3200 and presets allow to instantly switch between two custom DPIs, corded, and damned comfortable.

It is a large mouse and feel it is literally perfect for Palm grip and Claw grip styles.

However I have heard the opinion that the Fingertip grip is optimal for the precision demanded by higher level play in SC2 (such as in 6.01.2 in article http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=208343 or on the Razer website) . I haven't tried other nice gaming mice so there is nothing I can suggest as a comparison but this mouse doesn't strike me as designed for this grip style.

If you know for sure that Fingertip grip is your style I am finding this mouse to be a little too large, even with big hands.

Grain of salt: I have just learned that different mouse grip styles exist, so maybe I am not holding it correctly. I do not rest my palm on the mouse, only using my fingertips (the Ikari has a large rump).

See i used to have the idea.. well I have to use wat the pros use just because thats the only right answer... well its not its the fact of wat feels good in your hands... and wat does the job... use any mouse as long as it works for you , its all opinion on what mouse is "best" for gaming.

Should probably look into these:

Logitech g9 / g9x - wide grip

Razer Salmosa/Abyssus - imo go with salmosa if you can find it

Steelseries Kinzu - for small hands only, otherwise i would avoid this.

The Razer Abyssus is in an affordable price range, and works great from my experiences with it. (:
Out of your two choices though, the Intellimouse seems the best.

I'm using the Razer Naga, I have my SCV production/ depot production/ probe production/ chronoboost/ pylon and anything else that I do very often hotkeyed. Make my life slightly easier.

Multibutton macros are bannable over BNet, and most definitely not allowed in tournament play

I use the Razer Orochi (Always plugged in with USB). The one thing I didn't like about the mouse was that it sometimes felt like it was slipping out of my grip - but some hockey tape around the side makes it an absolute dream.

It's great for a claw grip.
