I use the Steelseries Sensei. The reason is mostly because I can fine tune how the results of the sensor are calculated (adjusting prediction, acceleration, deceleration etc). These options along with being able to set profiles for each of these fine tuned settings allowed me to create the perfect settings for FPS (I'm an ex pro Quake player and I played CS:S in CEVO-I for a bit), RTS and even just general browsing.

Personally I find the mouse comfortable even though my hands are quite small. I came from a Deathadder which is arguably one of the biggest gaming mice out there. Whilst the Deathadder certainly has the best optical sensor you can ask for, I've found that its shape can be incredibly taxing on my wrists after extended durations. However it is far cheaper than the Sensei so certainly don't overlook it.

The Theron is okay for RTS, but I still recommend the Deathadder over it.

I have had driver issues, wrist problems and mechanical faults with my MX518, G9 and G9x so I can't really recommend Logitech mice based on those problems.

If you can afford a Sensei or a Sensei[RAW] I definitely would recommend investing the money in them since they'll return all the results you will ever need. However, if you're lacking the cash and can deal with a big mouse then the Deathadder honestly can't be ignored.

I'm sure people have mentioned this in the thread already but: Honestly see if you can borrow friends' mice or feel them at the store before you buy them. Most people can adjust to sensors even if they're a heap of shit (cough Kinzu v2 cough) so it's mostly the feel of the mouse you're looking for -- especially if you're an RTS gamer.

Most 'gaming' mice have profile settings..

Currently using a Sensei, was using a Razer Lachesis before that and then a Razer Krait before that.

Sensei so far so good, fantastic mouse by far, fits great for my type of grip (using the bone at the lower portion of the hand as a pivot), buttons at the side are a little annoying, after getting used to it, the mouse is a charm! A little pricey here but if you have the cash to burn why not.

Razer Deathadders are a cheaper solution and well worth the price for that quality and account for almost all grips well.

The best type of mouse is the one that suits you the best. Easiest way to check which mouse may or may not fit you best is through your grip. You can check your grip here and from there on get a better gauge on what fits you.

I personally use a "fingertip grip" with reference to the website and like i mentioned earlier. Along with the Steelseries Sensei, I think its the best for me.

Good luck with your choice! Oh and don't forget a good mouse pad!

im using the Razer Taipan atm and i say its good. not the best but it holds its weight.

ive owned the Tt Black and its a bit fat around the back end so it didnt fit me.

[Sc2Clare]

i am currently using the zowie mico and i can say its the best mouse i used. cheap and good~~~ ^^

[Zakattack]

thanks for massive response guys

Im using the Roccat Kova[+] and its the best mouse ive had. Ive had it for a year and it dosent show any wear n tear. Also, for the past year ive used it allmost everyday in game. But the only downside is roccat costs alot.

The second best ive had is some generic logitech mouse i had for 5+ years. So for cheapness yet reliable i'd go logitech.

To sum it up:
Roccat = German car. Costs alot, but good product with quality design. (Roccat is a german company btw)
Logitech = Japanese car. Cheap, yet will never stops running.... ever.

Also, i'd recommend avoiding razer.

That's interesting I haven't heard too much about Roccat mice, nor have I used one.
Keen to get my hands on one one day and see how it holds up against everything else I have tried!

Yeah i went out in a total limb with this mouse. It looked like it'd fit my hand nicely so i brought it. I was pleasantly surprised on how well this mouse fits RTS games. As for FPS, i cannot comment. I know people like to amp up the sensitivity for FPS but i don't like change so i keep it the same for all games (Medium sensitivity @ 1600 dpi).

Mainly depends on your size of your hand, what grip you use, and what games you play.

If you have a claw grip when you play sc2 and you don't have gigantic hands, safest bet would be a g9x (naked, so all grips, weights and even the weight tray removed if your fussy about weight)

Tons of Korean Pro's use this mouse, the ones that first come to mind are MarineKing & Jaedong.
and a few of our SEA players too mOOnGLaDe & deth.

The clicky-ness of the g9x feels soo gewd, I usually use the Steelseries range (Kana/ Kinzu / Xai) and they seem pretty dull in comparison, you don't need to put too much pressure on the g9x to make a click but it's not too sensitive. same with the scroll wheel, which is more important for fps games,

I also like the fact that once the grips get taken off, the side buttons are much harder to press, stops you from being distracted from sc2 games (since you don't use side buttons in sc2) however you can use the side buttons ezpz with a grip on.

But to be on the safe side, Miles' guide is really good, and don't be afraid to ask if you would like to try it out in store before buying it, Pretty sure you will find some shops that would let you.

I Shopped around for a very very long time and tried all microsoft, razer and logitech mice
R.A.T 7 was only mouse that fit for me but I have weird grip style and like heavy mice

You'd really need to go somewhere to try them out to make a decision because most mice are good it just comes down to what fits your grip and preferences

[ToRJoko]

Razer Death adder! Ive tried many. still came back to this

[VB_heathen]

Steelseries Sensei cos its shiney and makes feel like nerd baller bling pimpin.

[RVLiveR]

recommend some of the steelseries mice - sensei, kana etc. the well known ones are usually the best
possibly the razer naga if you're planning to use your control groups/camera hotkeys religiously (1-4 for army, 5-9 for hatcheries, 0 for harassment units, - and = for camera hotkeys) it's so helpful for a zerg using the 55v66v77v inject method
and most people seem to like the deathadder i've personally never tried it but i've heard its great

[rezyn8]

I did a quick review of the Tt eSports Theron a while back when it was released Australia. I still use the Theron to this day for all gaming. Its price point has been lowered a bit since as well. I have found Razer mice to be flimsy, but have not had a chance to use a Steelseries mouse as of yet.
