    So I swapped mice with my cousin's G9 and he took my deathadder. The notable differences is the shape of course. I liked the ergonomics on the deathadder, but after a while, I got used to the blockish type on the G9's pinky/ring finger side.

    Still yet to test it out enough.

    Lol asking this question is like asking the entire forum to recommend some sort of laptop for you. I asked the same question before, got a lot of answers and decided to do research on a couple of suggestions. I found one that I really liked in terms of design and technical specs, and especially was looking for someone who could truly sell the product and make it shine. Logitech it was, and so a Logitech VX Revolution I bought. I can't recommend a mouse to you if you will purchase it online, it's a big risk since only you know what you will be comfortable with and what you're looking for...

    Could someone explain to me what the difference between 800 and say....2000 DPI is? How does it affect your mouse in gaming? Thanks.

    I use an Evoluent "handgrip" style mouse. You hold it like it sounds, so it takes some getting used to, but it definitely helps with the carpal tunnel. :D

    Just got my Logitech VX Nano for my desktop. I submit the following comparison :p

    Dell trac-ball PS/2 vs high-DPI nano = no contest

    Yes its past midnight and the lighting is terrible.

    Hooray for Nesquik to keep me going~

    @I<3RAM
    I've found ~1500 DPI (dots per inch) ludicrously good for sniping and other areas in games where you need to make very sensitive adjustments. Newer mice allow you to change the DPI on-the-fly to suit your immediate need. No DPI number is king, whatever suits your style and games/apps.
