I currently have six button gaming mouse (a cheap chinese one), but the side buttons are unconfortable to click, so I'm thinking about upgrading to a more "serious" one.
Which mouse do you suggest?
Thank you in advance,
D.

I should point out best buy is clearancing alot of razer stuff like the older nagas so they are a good buy right now. Some of thier new chroma stuff is slick, but i prefere green backlights anyway, so except for the mechanical switches, not alot of reason to upgrade.

But whatever you get, take a mouse that is proven to be accurate enough (sensor)
The new Logitech G line are pretty much all acceptable, most new Zowie mice are too.
The rest is 'mostly' personal.
Mousepad changes how your mouse behaves (friction, initial friction, inertia?)
Like there can be a huge difference between different cloth pads for brands, there is no other way but to try and see what 'material' you like best.
Mouse feet can also be a huge dealbreaker, small vs big pads can change behavior.
Weight is personal preference to most, I say a sweetspot exists with a bit of margin, 80-90~ grams.
My G502 was great but I personally felt it was too heavy and thus felt 'restricted'.
Cables: I will avoid braided cables at all costs, especially with lighter mouse. They will pull on your mouse when you use a bungee, and even without one. Except when you use a very flat table/mousepad. Sadly Logitech found it to give their mice a 'premium' look because of it. Imho you can have braided cables but the logitech ones are just normal plastic cables with braiding over it, so there are like a zillion layers inside the cable. (Braid -> plastic -> shielding -> wires)
As for the mouse shape (G303 is a mouse i had which was great looking, good sensor, but had some flaws like awkward shape. Got me RSI really fast and not to mention the base was pretty 'thin' due to its shape so it was all but stable with quicker movements.
IMHO natural shape to your hand is best, which excludes most ambidextrous mice. The reasoning behind this might be because the least amount of 'distraction' you have the better you can focus on the game. Distraction as in awkwardly shaped, never able to get an optimal grip, weird buttons in weird places which tickle parts of your arm/fingers.

My only issue is with the Synapse software, I have been trying to get set two of the buttons to toggle on/off for MGs and TAG with not much (any) luck.

What I Use, Just make sure not to spill Coffee on it, It Don't like it (Had it about a month and a Half now, Spilled a bit of coffee on it & now the MMB Don't work & some of the left side buttons can be a bit stickey some times): http://www.amazon.it...&keywords=G300s

- Palm Grip – In this stance, you place your entire hand over the mouse.
- Claw Grip – This grip resembles very much to Palm Grip except one difference. Your fingers are arched, to make the index and middle fingertip perpendicular to mouse buttons, in this stance.
- Fingertip Grip – In this grip, your entire hand is raised in air from back instead of resting on the mouse, and just two fingers + thumb are in contract with the mouse.
Why am I looking for another mouse? G500 (purchased $55-current prices $100+) will not last forever (5yrs old), thus looking to replace it before it actually dies. I have not been able to lay my hands on a g502 @ a local Bestbuy.

Can vouch.
The G502 is just a beast..... the RGB version just lets you make it even sexier.

I didn't look twice at the Razer because I didn't think I would like the side 12 button thumb grid. I wanted more buttons, but didn't want to go overboard.
I did buy the G502 Proteus Spectrum. I absolutely love it. I won't use a regular mouse again.
