    I would say G500 or razer deathadder for that price. I'd go for the deathadder since i prefer the textured feel. The Mionix Naos 3200 is just at the limit of your price range too, great for large hands. Your best bet would be to go to a store and see if you can try them to know which one feels more comfortable in your hands.

    I haven't tried the G500, but the Naos and Deathadder are both very good mice. I find the Naos fits my hands better, but that is personal.

    i'm not sure how it works in the UK, or if u guys get the same sales as us, but u can find dented box/open box Logitech G700's for $50-$60.

    there's basically 2 very good choices @ that price point. if u'r a palm gripper then go with the G500/G700. if u'r a claw gripper then go with the razer.

    the problem in the uk is that there are hardly any stores that have a good range of mouses to choice from and those that do are extremly over priced ( even in the damaged goods bin) i will probrobaly buy one from amazon as they have the g500 going for £40 and i will look into the g700 thanks for the info

    i take that back actually just went onto a local pc stores website they have a g 500 going for £35 looks like this might be my final choice

    it's really a great mouse. i got mine on sale for about $35, so my G500 has really exceeded all of my expectations.
