Logitech G9. Personally can't stand the shape and low-profile of razer mice. It's like an open invitation to the carpal tunnel fairy.
Different for different people. I tried a G9. The result was intense pain in my wrist after a gaming session and especially at night. Had to return to store and exchanged it for a Razer Diamondback. Works great so far, no pain and very comfortable.
Edit : This one here, http://store.razerzone.com/store/raz...oryId.35208800
comes with my recommendations.
long fingers here, the razer deathadder is the only mouse that has ever been comfortable to me.
I've come to like Razer myself. The "specs" of the mice are mostly ********, since I can't tell the difference between them or other laser mice, but they are really ergonomic for longer sessions where you're gripping the mouse. The long click keys are good too.
I had the G9 for about a year but when I built my i7 rig I switched to this:

I love it, but I think its best if you have big hands.
List the make n model of your current mouse.
List the reasons why you bought it..
List the reasons why you feel you need to switch to something else.
What is you budget?
Do you want to offer any details on some of the options available in mice that need to meet your needs?
Everyone has a different opinion when it comes to mice. Personally, I love my Logitech G5 so much, that I own 3 of them (one for desktop PC, one for work laptop, and one in my laptop bag for when I travel).
Reasons why I love it:
1) It's corded. I hate wireless.
2) Ergonomic design - fits exactly how my hand should fit on a mouse.
3) Adjustable weight system - lets me adjust how heavy I want my mouse to feel.
4) It's Logitech. I have never had a Logitech product break on me in my life.
i9 currently use an old Mx1000 and its starting to die on me. I think the feel is alright but I hate that the connection tends to go wonky every so often. I really do like cordless, but I'm wary of getting another wirless mouse if I'll have the same connection issues.
Microsoftsidewinder absolutly love it, make sure you order a good mouse pad with it.
I like the steelseries.
I have the Logitech G5 and love it.
Never had issues with MS mice, sorry to hear that, If you have big hands I suggest to give them a good look.
If you want another wireless in the shape of the MX1000 the closest you'll get is the Razer Mamba. It's in the same shape of the DeathAdder mostly but can be wired or wireless. It's extremely expensive though at $130 bucks.
I've heard good things about the G9x, but I couldn't go that route. The MX1000 and G7 spoiled me. I can't go back to a wired mouse.

mx518
still using it after years and years... see no reason to upgrade
Just a word of warning, if you buy a mouse, make sure to buy it from a store where you can return it since there are many mice that will hurt your hand since everybody's hand is different. I've tried the MX518 too when I was getting a new mouse and like the G7/G9, it gave me the most awful hand cramps/hand pain because its very awkwardly shaped for my hands.
I really enjoy my Razer Diamondback. I picked it up for 20 bucks on woot. I liked it so much I bought a back up in case this one goes out. I've been using it for around 3-4 years now and it still works great. Very precise and it has two buttons on each side that come in handy and are nicely integrated.
I think they made a newer model of the Diamondback which is called the Copperhead. I don't think they make them anymore but some places still have inventory. I wouldn't be surprised if you could pick either up pretty cheap. The Diamondback was very well regarded and won numerous awards such as Gamespot's 2004 hardware of the year award.
Microsoft sidewinder baby I am telling you!!
Suggestions on where to buy that allows returns if they are not comfortable?
Best buy
Yeah, I'd say Best Buy. That's the only store in my area that would carry a gaming mouse I think.
I think if my mx518 died I would probably buy another one.
