deathadder is the best value for money mouse on the market. drivers are good, firmware is good, lasts at least a couple of years and has no trouble being packed in buses, trains and planes whatsoever.

It really depends on how you hold your mouse and if you prefer low sensitivy/high dpi to high sensitivity/low dpi.
Being a pro FPS gamer I've always preferred the fluidity of low DPI/high sensitivity on an optical than laser.

If you want low DPI definitely go optical:
Deathadder, Abyssus, Kinzu

If you prefer high DPI:
Imperator, Xai, G9x

You will have to feel them yourself to see which one feels better in your hands when playing though.

Can pick up a Razer DeathAdder V2 from CPL for around that price (could be slightly more, but not significantly) and it's a great mouse as well. Good luck with your choice!

hmmm personally i like the g9x cos of the grip changing thing and its weight change. i have used the salmosa before and yea though its light,it seems fragile to me. still, i will reccommend the g9x cos of its features and the most important thing is... it's used by many pro gamers! :P still,at the end of the day, pick the mouse tht u like an enjoy using. test it out yourself. thts the best way to choose a mouse.

I'd go with the deathadder, been using it for 6 months, by far my favourite (:

Sexy mouse :}

There are many great mouses out there for cheap..infact the best mice are usually less than $50. As far as preference in RTS games you don't need a perfectly precise mouse like you do in FPS although it does help.

Refer anyone who buys a mouse here. Any of those flawless mouses 3,5 and 7 buttons are great and relatively in expensive. The razer abyssus is very popular with RTS gamers i think because most use the "claw" grip, beware it jitters on some cloth pads. Also do your research on mouse pads because some mice wont work as good on certain types. Technically you could add the Zowie Mico to the list aswell.

Most gamers still shy away from laser mice as they tend to have neg/pos accel and don't work well on some surfaces and depending on screen resolution can be buggy. There some "ok" ones out there though.

Hope this helps someone.
Ps. Esreality is full of fps hardware nit-pickers and so are pretty good to rely on. Maybe SCsea could start a similar thread/threads to help out the fellow sc2 player?

Got the death adder for $55 (free shipping ), still getting used to the sensitivity but it's far and away nicer to use than my old logitech

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

Excellent choice And based from most of the feedback in this thread, best mouse available for the price. Happy to also own one

Am surprised, nobody mentioned Abyssus? Granted that it does not have any macro keys, but it has decent DPI, is ergonomic and is pretty comfortable on the hand as well!

[bloken]

Agreed on the razer abyssus, and great choice with the deathadder. It pays to do your research. From my own experience i have owned 2 steelseries mice, the kinzu and the ikari. Both i have been thoroughly disappointed with due to having hardware acceleration(meaning there is positive/neg accel in the actual hardware that cannot be removed).

[SnoWPanda]

use deathadder myself. its just a great mouse and not too costly.
