    I'm looking for a responsive wired/wireless gaming mouse with adjustable sensitivity. My hands are not too big so I'm comfortable with all mice sizes. The mouse will be used mainly for first person shooters.

    I've looked at some current and upcoming gaming mice: Microsoft Sidewinder, Logitech G9/G7, Razor Lachesis, Razor Diamondhead 3G and others.

    There's no way to tell how good they are from the manufacturer/retailers specifications. Are there any websites out there that compare different mice or give reviews for gaming mice? Perhaps including some controlled tests on the mice precision and response time.

    I've been using an old logitech ifeel mouse for the last 5 years on my desktop so I'm not up to date on this stuff. Any informative mouse info like which brands/models are better and what features to look for would be greatly appreciated!

    G7's are the best mouse can find. I also have used the razor copperhead, and feel it is to akward. The G7 has on the fly sensitivity. I have 4 G7's. I like them alot

    my bet would be the lachesis but since it isnt realesed yet(i think) its abit hard to find reviews for it i use a copperhead and love it. but if you really need reviews for something i found that the easiest thing todo is simply google for the item followed by review like this for example: razer copperhear review

    I'm using a Razor Diamondback (plasma blue edition) and I like it a lot. ;) The reason I chose it is because I wanted a gaming mouse with 1600dpi at least and a few reviews I read said it was a good gaming mouse and the price has dropped a bit recently. I bought mine from ebay. I know there are newer and better gaming mouse than mine but I don't want to spend too much...
