I've been very happy with my logitech G5, and I know many other will recommend this.

G5, £30.
Switchable dpi upto 2000, with 3 settings. Useful for FPS switching from fast twitch to sniping.
2 extra buttons on the left thumb that are programmable for WoW, currently got both pally taunts on a mouseover macro binded to em....very useful
Very comfortable, looks great!

I've got a G5. It's OK, but the first one I got died within a week. Had to RMA. Seems to be a big problem with them from what I can tell.

Some things I don't like are.. I have trouble with double-clicking it for some reason.. dunno why. The thumb buttons are hard to reach the way I hold the mouse... meaning it is easier to program the buttons onto the keyboard instead if you want to do anything FPS with them. The mouse scroll-wheel click is stupid hard to push in compared to other mice I've used - its really annoying to me. The thing has a weight set and I think it feels almost to heavy without putting anything in it.

If I could do it over again id get one of the smaller razer mice. Especially for FPS.

Got the G5 here (2 of them actually), very nice mouse, smooth, reliable, the resolution switching is fantastic. I liked the weights myself, they add to the "feel" of the mouse. For me the mouse was a perfect fit for my hand. My 6 year old son finds the mouse too big, so his rig has a smaller logitech mouse. The G5 is by far the best mouse Ive had.

I think I'm still a bit old school, I've been using my Logitec mx518. I didn't go with the G5 because i liked the button placement on the 518 better.

Look for a "Razer" I think is the best on mice for gamers...

It's not the best, but I use the mx518. I've been happy with it for a couple of years now. It is a great value mouse if your looking to spend no more than 50 dollars.
