Right now I'm using a Microsoft 3500 Wireless mouse and its not working for me. I've had it for a few months and put a new battery in it every 2-3 weeks, and it has always felt a little choppy. Occasionally it would spas out and be extremely difficult to control but since I built my new PC and started using a USB wireless adapter its extremely bad. I've been having the biggest problem in BF3, which I may as well be playing at 5 fps on 200 ping when I'm actually somewhere between 80-120 fps and under 70 ping. I did some looking around and found out V sync was a major cause and it seemed to fix it for 5 minutes until it started acting up again, though less extreme.
So long story short, I hate my current battery munching mouse. The fact I'm using a 2.4 GHz wireless adapter probably doesn't help but I had a problem before I had the wireless anyway.
Im thinking of going wired but I really don't know what to look for because nothing is really catching my eye that I can afford. I had a Logitech mobile mouse that was amazing for the6 years iI used it, only problem with it today is the rubber sides are worn down to the point its not comfortable to use anymore so I was thinking maybe the Logitech M525 but because of the Microsoft mouse I'm not sure I want to try wireless again. The only wired mouse that has really caught my eye is the Razer Taipan but that is far more than I am willing to spend.
I also happened across this http://www.razerzone.com/mouseguide/ergonomic/advantage and I believe that I have a "fingertip grip". I don't know how relevant that is to mouse selection but figured I'd share for good measure.
So any suggestions on a wired mouse with a similar design to the M525 or Taipan? I'm not concerned about extra buttons but it would be nice to have 2-4 extra. I am also used to having a mouse weighed down with one or two batteries so I don't think weight is an issue. I would like to keep the cost under 30, 40 at the absolute most.
