    Razer Diamondback 3G here, death adder is better, but this one is portable.

    Using it for over 5 years and still going like charm :)

    I use the Logitech G9x and it's awesome. Just the ability to weigh it down with the little kit it comes with does wonders for me. I like a heavy mouse. Better for more precise, smooth movements. :D

    Steelseries Kana. Coming from Razer products, I'll never go back. The Steelseries has worked flawlessly despite numerous issues I had in the past with Razer products. The Kana is one of the lower end models for their mice, and it still feels solid and has good build quality. I imagine their more expensive mice are even better. I'd definitely recommend Steelseries while I don't think I could say the same about Razer products given my experience.

    Exactly. It's really hard to explain, but Steelseries products have a insane reputation... they just cannot break :p

    I use a Sensei coming from a razer naga. The sensei feels so good and i think its the best mouse out now since most pro gamers use it.

    Logitech MX518. I've used many, many mice from all different brands, and this is the one I keep coming back to. I keep one at my desk and have another for when I travel. If there were a Hall of Fame for computer peripherals, it would be a first-ballot entrant.

    Been using a G500 for the longest time. It has been having terrible auto-double clicking lately because the micro switches are shot. I am thinking about pulling the trigger on the Steelseries Sensei raw. Any thoughts on the sensei?

    Logitech MX518 and Logitech Performance MX

    Just gotten used to the Performance MX and enjoy not having a cord. I haven't experienced any lag issues and the USB receiver is tiny. The darkfield laser so far has been the best I think, unmatched by anything Razer, Steel Series, etc offer. It works on everything and excellent on a gaming pad. It's a great notebook gaming mouse option, it works anywhere, on anything.

    Using a G9x after my old G9 died last year, not to say they are fragile (it was my longest lasting mouse). The only other issue I have is the Teflon feet get worn out although that's probably down to my mouse pad.

    I like the feel of the M950 Performance MX which I just received.
    The back & forward buttons however are placed too high upon it. They should be placed where the zoom button is set.
    It fits my hand just right unlike my old Logitech M305 which is way too small.
    However the SetPoint software crashes & hangs up my laptop on shutdown.

    My Logitech LX8 has a nice feel to it but it became so the laser would not track. I was so frustrated by that I slammed it onto the carpet. It amazingly began to work again! Unfortunately the impact damaged the forward button. The USB receiver was also large which protruded out of the port.

    The Logitech G500 is by far one of the best out there.

    I am recently using a Corsair Vengeance M60 and it's a great mouse. I got it on sale for cheap, and it has very strong robust frame, good dpi and it has worked wonders so far in accuracy and general performance. Much more so than my old Razer Copperhead that broke and was never really that good to begin with.

    Agreed, I've been through lots of mice and the G500 suits me the most. Even with my huge hands I can easily place my whole palm on the mouse, it's great!

    Although, on my laptop I started using Logitech M510 since I found out that my Y500's touchpad is too crappy to use.
