I have both a Razer Lachesis and an Abyssus, and they're both fine, but they're definitely not made for RTS, just get a simple optical no nonsense mouse like all the pros use, preferably one that slides well and you're in great shape.

I'm curious why you think the Lachesis isn't good for RTS. I use it and think it works fine. What problems do you have with it?

I recommend the Razer Salmosa. I was skeptical that a £20 "gaming" mouse was going to be much of an improvement than the shitty 1000 button, unbranded optical bullshit I had beforehand, but I felt a major difference. So yeah, I recommend a Salmosa, but a lot of mice will probably fill a similar role.

Also, probably an idea to get a good mousepad first, if you don't already. Most of the cheap mousepads have the texture of sand paper and a "grain" so your movement isn't even across it from all sides. Again, I'm using a Razer "gol"-something, which is good. It was cheap too, but, again, a lot of different mousepads will fill a similar role.

Sorry to sound like a Razer fanboy.(Their keyboards suck.)

Any razer mouse is just amazing. I will personally be getting that Spectre mouse because, well hot damn it looks nice.

I've always been a fan of razer mice.

Do you use palm grip? Then get the DeathAdder.

Do you use claw grip? Then get the Salmosa (or Krait if you can find it)

i recommend you the razer salmosa, it's not very expensive and by FAR the best mouse i have ever used. I own mine since like 2 years and it's still as good as the day i bought it.

Been using the Intellimouse for over 7 years now. It's the best mouse ever made, hands down. The only thing it doesn't have is macros, and those are really just a half step below hacking to begin with, so I don't mind living without them.

For those on you interested in trying something new, Saitek is coming out with a new mouse called R.A.T.

http://www.cyborggaming.com/prod/rat7.htm

I Currently own a MX518 and will most likely buy the R.A.T. 7. I'd really like to try it out first but I Really like the concept and the look of it!

A Few reviews are out already as well as a few Hands On.

No joke, that was the mouse I had when I started playing SC:BW. It was my sister's birthday present that she never used. Obviously I could micro so easily with this mouse (yeah right)

On topic though, I think any mouse that feels comfortable is good enough for SC2. It doesn't need to have 200 buttons, extra random features or look like it's going to take off, just basic stuff will do. I'm currently using a simple Logitech mouse that cost like €10.

Microsoft Intelli 3.0 - Best gaming mouse of all time.

light weight, good feel, nice comfortable design, I believe it's limited to 1000mhz although I'm not too sure. However 1000mhz on a mouse should be wayyy sufficient for playing basically any rts.

Maybe it has a 0,01% difference when playing FPS, idk.

Still, this mouse isn't being made anymore, so another intelli might be the answer.

If you're more of a logitech person, I'd again go for one of the ancient warriors, the Mx510. This one has also gone out of production(which is why I bought 5 off of eBay couple years ago lol). In the case you can't find it, you could always go for the newer Mx518, which I personally think is way less of a gaming mouse than the Mx510, but ;P

Or just go for the newer age mice, but idk, I find most of them include this obnoxious software and drivers for it to work(fucking razor software is just cheap and ugly and messes up everything for a gamer), so I personally steer clear of those.
