I need a new mouse

So I need a new mouse xd

My wireless mouse broke and I'm using a mouse that has a ball in it... It's impossible to control since the mouse is constantly getting jammed >.> The ball is oddly shaped and tends to get jammed on my mouse pad as well xD

Anyone have any good finds that I could buy at Office Depot? I'm going tomorrow to buy a new one and I'm looking for a Gamer's Mouse. Money isn't a problem though.

Just remember, more expensive does not mean better. Brands to consider: Razer, Corsair, SteelSeries, Mad Catz, Cyborg.

I would highly recommend going on their site, putting your store number in, and seeing what mice they actually have in that store. Then pick several different mice that you like and look up reviews online. When I went to buy my RAT 7 mouse I looked up a ton of reviews and a lot of people were saying that their's broke within a few months. I decided to buy one anyways and I got Best Buy's 1 or 2 year warranty. Its been well over a year and the mouse is still working fine. What you want to look for is what feels comfortable and what will do what you need it to. If you buy a mouse based on looks, price, brand, or features you may hate yourself later because when you actually go to use it you might not be able to due to the shape, weight, or something else that you didn't think of when choosing the mouse.

As always, thank you Will ;) I have forgotten your old posts on this subject.

I definitly need an actual gaming mouse. I was using a 20 buck wireless browsing mouse before o.o

Best mouse i can recommend is mine/stealths/osmos its a mx518 works really good and i recommend increasing polling rate to 500.
mouse is cheap and easy to replace if it gets broke (ive never had issues with it)
Since you dont adjust dpi now start with 200 and 7-5 sens and work from there.

here is a few ppls settings that work great (note not all settings work good for everyone so try different ones)
inspire 5-3 1600 dpi
stealth 7-5 500
osmo 7-5 500-800
and myself 5-3 1250

dpi is a different way of changing sens. it means dots per inch so every inch you move ur mouse you move it a number of dots on the screen (pixels).
