    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.

    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.

    Blah. I used to own two Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer about 10-12 years ago. Both of them malfunctioned within 9 to 15 months of owning them. After that, I swore never to buy another Microsoft computer peripheral again.

    Logitech mice all the way.

    Never had issues with MS mice, sorry to hear that, If you have big hands I suggest to give them a good look.
