So here's my problem. I love my current mouse, but the old g5 mouse is too heavy for me now, i realise that a lighter mouse is better, so i'm looking to upgrade. I'm willing to spend up to $100 on a new beauty, and have no idea on mice as i've had the old g5 for about 5 years now. Anywhere up to $100 is no problem for me, so I don't care about economy, if a $99 mouse is better than a $49 mouse but only just, it's still better, and bugger the inefficient price difference.
Obviously i'm tossing up between razer and Tt eSports, and (sponsors aside guys :P ) i was wondering which one I should get for SC2 performance?
There's obviously the Deathadder from razer, the big choice that a lot of people have.
Or there's the Black Element from Tt eSports, which has much higher DPI but doesn't say what the lagtime is on it.
If you have a different suggestion for me I'd appreciate it as well, i'm not set on getting one of those two. I'll be buying whichever one i choose tomorrow

I use a claw grip, and I love my deathadder.
Feels a bit weird (the whole dry top instead of smooth) but it's one sexy mouse.
It's also at a good decent price.

I'd strongly recommend the Steelseries Sensei, I believe its about 130$ which is slightly more than your willing to pay, but it's a really really good mouse. It was the first 'gaming' mouse I haven't regretted it at all.
The mouse itself I find is very comfortable to use, my hand/palm fits perfectly over it. The buttons on the side of the mouse have come in useful for easier to reach hotkeys, this is kind of a null point though because most quality mice these days come with that i believe.
Another thing thats really good about the sensei is how much "stuff" you can customize, be it the colour on the mouse, to having 2 different dpi/cpi settings per profile. You can fiddle around with acceleration/deceleration if you want to, amongst loads of other things, and this can all be done within the mouse just using the wheel and a few extra buttons.
Things I dislike are that occasionally it sort of spazzes out and the mouse becomes slow, I'm not exactly sure whether this is my mouse pad not being clean though =p.
Other than that it's a great mouse and I'd strongly recommend it to anyone.

i use the kinzu, and am looking to buy the sensei when i can afford it, this was going to be my suggestion too.

With out Sponsor association coming into it - you should ask dippa.. that guy has been thru all the good gaming mice, has a box of about a dozen different mice that he's tried out - he knows the best mice.
Other than that - of course I endorse the Razer Death Adder - I'm really enjoying this mouse - but the Theron and Mamba (the other gaming mice i've used) - I've been happy with all of them!
Good luck in finding the mouse for you, I recommend trying them out - seeing which fits your hand the best
G9X!!! is hte way to go .. i love this mouse cause it is small and i feel like i am able ot use it faster then the longer mouses like mamba or deathadder.
I love the Logitech G1, deth bought it from amazon a couple of months ago. very comfortable, and so light.
It is a small mouse but it'll fit any sized hand.
It's worth $29 at amazon.
Not the prettiest thing out there but it's so good for rts, much better than my mouse (steelseries xai)
I used to use a G9x (with shell! Just 2 of the light weights in it), then black mouse, then sapphira.
Most important don't buy a mouse off reputation!
Go to a LAN, friends house, or store that lets you test and try the product first, The most important thing is that it complements your hand-size and grip style. Actually play some games on it preferably and see how you like it.
The sapphira is what I use now. It's a bit bigger than g9x so can be used for either claw or palm grip and I find it pretty darn good.
Imo mice like the Tt black and the deathadder are far more suited to palm-grip. Which in my opinion is more for fps style of mouse control. I've had trouble with fine-micro (clicking lings or banes speedily) and keeping up multitasking with these mice. But like I said before it's personal preference TEST IT BEFORE YOU BUY! :P
Coming to a LAN and asking people to try their equipment is the best move before a purchase.
