Where can I test gaming mice before I buy?

I need a new computer mouse for FPS gaming, but I'd like to test how the mouse feels before I purchase it. I've been using the Razor Deathadder (not 2013), but the mouse has worn down and I was never a fan of how it felt in my hand.

To avoid the problems I've had with the Deathadder, I'd like to try the mouse before I purchase it. The problem is most online stores, like Amazon, require there to be a defect to get free return shipping, and most stores with mice displays I've been to, like Staples or Office Depot, only have office mice on display. Where could I try gaming mice before I make a purchase? Any help would be appreciated!

Go to a nearby dedicated computer hardware store, like here in Canada where we have MemoryExpress's in the neighbourhood, and they will usually have a stocked gaming mouse in. You can go to the store and request to see it first, and try it out in your hand.

If it's good, you can buy it and leave.

I'm pretty sure the experience should be the same in the US, if you live there.
Try places like Microcenter or something, and check online if there is stock first.
