Hello everybody
I am currently looking for a good mouse to buy roughly around $50.
Would anyone mind suggesting any mouses you would prefer and why you like it?

Thanks for any responses.

Also, would you guys recommend me buying a good mouse pad too? or should I stick with the 5 dollar mouse pad I have now?

Off the top of my head:

SteelSeries Ikari Optical
Razer Deathadder
Razer Diamondback 3G
Logitech MX518
Logitech MX 510
Logitech MX500@1000Hz
Logitech MX300@1000Hz
Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0
Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer 1.1

All of the above are good mice, the latest Razer Mice, eg. Deathadder and Diamondback 3G are the best in terms of tracking, which is what matters most for Counter Strike, but if you prefere the shape of Logitech and Microsoft mice any of the above are all great choices.

One more thing though, ignore Laser mice as pretty much all of them track poorly in comparison to optical.

"Lab-engineered by Razer's scientists and field-validated by the biggest names in professional gaming today, the Razer Goliathus™ Control Edition greatly enhances the precision and tactile response of gaming-grade mice without introducing excessive, fatigue-inducing drag and premature surface degradation. The tournament-tuned textured weave enables mice—regardless of sensor type—to register the minutest of movements, thus yielding unprecedented targeting and tracking accuracy while maintaining a perfectly controllable yet consistent glide.. "

razer should consider toning down their descriptions LOL. fatigue-inducing drag??

DO NOT get a Microsoft Habu. I made the mistake of buying one on a whim. It's f*cking awful. Badly made, cheap piece of tat.

Does anyone know if the razer mantis control comes in a smaller size? The Oversized is nearly 18" by 14" and I only have 14" by 12" to deal with :(.
