i need a mouse (mostly for gaming). my budget is 20-25euros (maybe 30 if the mouse worth it but not more). i was thinking the cm storm xornet (22euros in my country), razer deathadder (found it for 25euros on ebay), logitech g100s and g300 (both 30euros in my country) and sharkoon fireglider black (27euros in my country). what do you think of these mouses (i was going for either g300 or fireglider but i decided to ask for some opinions) and what mouse do you suggest?
i am used to low dpi (i think 400 or 800 i don't remember) cause i had an unknown brand mouse for almost 4 years and now is broken so i decided do go for something better and ,also, i am used to claw grip (small mouses). generally 2000dpi are more than enough for me but i won't say no to some more cause i can get used to higher dpi if i like it after a try.

the g400s and the deathadder are your best options. The deathadder will probably be cheaper, so go with that if you're worried about money. Logitech mice are better built better and typically perform better, so I would go with a logitech mouse over a razer mouse. The deathadder is by no means a bad mouse, but the g400s is better.

well i don't want a mouse that is good only for gaming cause i also use a lot of programms (like photoshop, autocad etc) and i do a lot of web browsing. and here is what concernes me about the g300 and holds me back from buying it right now: are the side buttons (top buttons in this mouse...) able to go back and forth (previous/next page) in a browser and windows directory?
 


All the buttons are programmable, but are you talking about g300 or MX6980X?

I personally had to stop using my MX6980X because of it's lack of mouse acceleration, and switched to the MUCH better Logitech G500S.

The G300 seems like a good mouse, I'd get it if that is all you can afford.

If you can snatch a deathadder for just 25 look nowhere else. Other good options with good sensors are the g100s and cm storm alcor. Beware that the xornet is plauged by a lot of firmware issues.
Regarging your g300 question,the buttons are programmable and you can customise them for forward/back functions anytime.

i like the g100s and i read some very good reviews but i really really hate the fact that it doesn't have side buttons!! they are very helpfull in my opinion and i use them all the time. so i don't think i will get it. the alcor is a bit expensive for me. the deathadder is very good mouse but i think its only meant for gaming plus the other mouse offer me more programmable buttons so thats what holds me back from buying it.

well i was thinking that g300 has 9 programmable buttons while the deathadder has only 4. plus i will likely never use 3500dpi in addition to the better quility that logitech mouses have (or at least that's what i read)
