Greeting,

I'm looking for the gaming mouse and I was just wondering which one would be good for me. After using trackball mouses for couple of years, I find that I'm struggling in online games or FPS.

I had switched to trackball mouses because of the wrist problems so I would like to find one with very high sensitivity if possible. Also, I would categorized myself as palm grip instead of claw grip because I like to lead the mouse around with my palm.

I'm willing to pay up to 50 bucks, but I can go up to 60 if the mouse itself is very exceptional.

If there's any more information you need to know, just ask me.

Thank you guys for your time.

Your best bet is checking newegg or something similar. I am quite fond of :
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826146014

It is what I run, and it is highly programmable, has adjustable DPI (up to 6000) and weights...I really enjoy it...
The Razer DeathAdder is very nice :

This is what I use too, it is super sensitive. It's bad for MMOs like WOW as it only has 5 buttons, but for FPS it is the bomb.

I use one at work too, because I like how sensitive it is, as a bonus people can't "drive" very well on my computer and so I get to kick them off fast (I hate letting people drive).
Thank you guys for replying to this thread but after doing bit of a research, I feel that Gigabyte Ghost may fit with what I am looking for. However, I will also consider Razer Deathadder in near future for my other computers.

I truly appreciated it a lot, my friends. :D

Gigatyte > Razer? Not in a million years. Razer is the leading maker of gaming equipment. Go for DeathAdder, you won't make mistakes.

Would you like to tell me why I should get Deathadder? :) I'm interesting in what you have to say about it.

So just curious, names aside, what actually makes your DeathAdder better than my Gigabyte M8000X? I mean, I like Razer, don't get me wrong, but just because it has a brand name on it doesn't mean it trumps everything. Mine should out perform that particular Razer as it goes to 6000DPI whereas the Deathadder goes to 3500.
I looooooove my Logitech G500. I had a Deathadder before and the G500 kicks its ass.
Id wait and get a Cyborg RAT 9 they may be cheaper over there but mine was great till i broke it

+1. I've had a few razers and a few Logitech's in the past, always preferred the Logitechs. I'm also rocking with a G500 at the moment. That Gigabyte looks a bit poorly built and overpriced.

The best gaming mouse for me is Logitech MX518. You can find it quite cheaply today.
Any suggestions for a claw-gripper? The vast majority of ergonomic and performance mice are designed for palm-grip users.

I don't need something real fancy... just something with five buttons in easy reach. I've tried the Logitech M500 and the Microsoft Intellimouse 3.0, but while they're both good mice, they both cramp my hand because they're not meant for claws.

The only mouse I've found that seems like it might suit me is the Logitech G9, but it's expensive. I can get it used on Amazon for a decent price, but I hesitate to buy a mouse I can't return without having trying it out first.

I'd be happy with a cheap generic mouse with two thumb buttons, but those are surprisingly hard to find.
Had this thread not been posted when it was I could have pointed you in the direction of the Mouse of Awesomeness - the Steelseries Xai.
