I had been using Logitec M-BZ96C; it was horrible:
I purchased the G9x about 2 weeks ago and am very happy with it. The Logitec G9x so far has been very accurate and I no longer feel like I am struggling to select the units I want. The mouse has a flare where your thumb sits that actually keeps it from contacting the mouse pad; it is an odd feature but something that I really enjoy.
I do think I'd prefer a slightly narrower mouse, but I do like the height of it. For me, most Logitec mice feel like they are taking up too much of my hand, and I prefer to only touch the mouse with my finger tips. I have medium to large hands.
But, at $100 this is not a cheap mouse. I managed to get mine for $80 so I didn't feel too bad about it

Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 3.0. Pros use it for a reason.

IE 1.1 ftw ... its very good for both RTS FPS game
LOL lat Razer Spectree`

i disagree with the issue, that high (or higher) dpi is not needed. Customizing DPI and max. DPI is important in term of mousefeeling/handling like the mouse shape. However mouse shape (and weight) is in general the most individual aspect which cant be recommend, you have to try it out. As an RTS gamer you dont care about a lot of buttons and you dont want/have to switch sensitivity between games like shooter gamer.
Personally i use a Razer Copperhead.

And I did some tests and it's more accurate than the logitech G5 I bought, so I stopped using the g5.
What kinds of tests were those? If you actually used software to check the accuracy, I'd love to hear about it. I have a G5 and a black intellimouse 1.1A and have felt similarly. Obviously the G5 has a higher dpi than the intellimouse, but isn't accuracy different from dpi?
I prefer the G5 for RTS still because that's what I'm used to, but I don't have enough experience to definitively say that it's the best mouse for Starcraft 2. If it isn't, the intellimouse 1.1A is a very very close second, although I've always been curious about the notorious logitech optical mini.

Or you could do what I did.

Or you could do what I did.
1. Zero screws! - yes no screws at all why you need them when there is superglue
2. Removed metallic scroll wheel
3. Got rid of Braided cable (they exert force while you are doing 360! and of course add unneeded weight)
4. Removed all buttons and Dpi switches (Except for mouse button 1 & 2)
5. removed all unnecessary parts from inside (ie plastic parts)

I actually just ordered the new Razer SC2 mouse. I think it has everything you guys are looking for -- it was made just for people like us.
|
I just got a G500, I love the mouse wheel function button! Hit it and it will go from super smooth rotation to click by click, great for good old web browsing! I've yet to max it to its 5700dpi limit, but no question the most responsive sensitive mouse I've ever owned.

Before this I used a G5, I liked that mouse a lot too! Great shape, great mice.

you are one crazy mofo! 
no seriously you're god damn crazy!
I bought an armadillo 2.0 to deal with the cord but besides that... I love the way your thumb is always supported when using the proper cover and all this plastic and buttons removing is.... wierd!!

It's all about personal preference.
I personally use a Razer Deathadder for SC2 as well as HoN and TF2. It's a perfect fit for my hand and is comfortable as can be. You may hate it though so try out other people's mice if you can before you drop money on your own.
(I'm still gonna recommend this though if you are right handed)

The "CS 1.6 kids" stick with the intellimouse because 1.6 runs on very few pixels, thus a DPi of 50 feels like 500 (exaggerated). Also the intelli3.0 actually has better mouseacceleration (not windows acc.) and, of course, most players are used to the shape of the intelli which arguably might be the most comfortable shape (razer bought it and made several mice with similar shape, death adder for example).

Razer Abyssus is the best in my opinion it feels like a regular mouse and is very simple, no extra buttons.

DERP DERP DERP.... you obviously have no clue about what you are talking about... the mouse you are talking about is 400dpi ... and there is no 'mouse acceleration'... you DONT want acceleration to be precise... read that and you might stop saying random false stuff: http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=1265679
edit: but those benchmark are not really usefull for RTS since RTS are not played with low sensitivity and you wont attain the mouvement speed you would with low sens in FPS, thats why you can use cheap logitech mouses even tho they have a low failure speed.
and to continue about great RTS mouse, i use a razer Salmosa and it is one of the best RTS mouse ive used. The only thing i would like to change... is to be able to select something else than 800 or 1800 dpi, something like 1200 would be perfect.

MOUSE DISCUSSION ANGARRR

Logitech G1 is the best mouse I ever had for starcraft, it was perfect until my brother rage-smashed it against the wall 
I already stopped playing seriously at that time so I didn't bother reordering.
|
I would buy an intellimouse 3.0, by far the best mouse ever made for a small price. GL in finding one.
|
I'm hoping you aren't going for one of those cheating button mapping mouses...
