had nothing but issues with razer mice.
the logitech g9's liftoff distance it terrible.
the best gaming mice i have used in the last 2 years have been the sidewinder by microsoft... yea it looks awful but has surprisingly good palm feel and the side buttons are very well placed and easy to use as there stacked vertically under your thumb... and as an added bonus they are cheap 2.
i found horizontal buttons on the lachesis uncomfortable to use and often i would press both when i just want to press 1.
the logitech g5 was a great little mouse and im peeved that i got rid of it and replaced it with the lachesis. but you cant source them easily.
the g500 is similar but the side buttons again put me off it. although it is a very accurate mouse with a 2-3 mm liftoff which does help stop the jerking as you lift the mouse and put it back down.
roccat are a solid build but im currently looking at the cyborg rat series for myself... take a look at them if your budget goes that far.
i would list the death adder by razer but i have recently learned they have the razor mmb problem 2...
so my recomendation is get a sidewinder if you have a limited budget. a roccat kova if your can spend a little more and a rat 7 or 9 if you have money to burn.
I recommend the Raptor-Gaming LM2 mouse. It's a great gaming mouse, comfortable, solid build, and certainly at the "entry level". Has an adjustable DPI. It's also VERY affordable.

ive certinly been looking at the rat 7 but latley its seemed to..flashy for a better word with so many things in the mouse thats justanumber more of things that can go wrong i love the look of the razer mamba but would want a wired non led version with no issues stuck at a standstill here lol
if only this wasnt backlit in both locations by blue.. i have a saitek eclipse 2 and the case im gonna use is a hafX red led fans so blue wouldnt much fit the picture lol

I use the Logitech G500 mouse. I like it because the size and ship is similar to the Logitech Performance MX mouse. You can also adjust the weight of the mouse. If prefer the mouse to be on the heavier side.

fits my hand perfectly using it that way--i have quite large hands
but i actually use more of a fingertip grip--this does make the sniper button a little bit in front of my thumb--but only about half an inch
the software that you download for it is still in version one--but one interesting bit in it is it has a real time read back on how well its reading the surface you are using it on--surface quality test its called
havent seen that before--so according to the software my surface is 3 to 4 bars out of a possible 5--will have to put a bit of furniture polish on my tile i use for a mat and see if it goes up to 5 bars--i use a 12 inch by 12 inch linoleum floor tile for a mouse mat
even at 3 to 4 bars it glides perfectly and hasnt skipped or stuttered once
i jumped in and got the rat 7 contagion your rite there is a lot of bits and bobbs. but it does have 1 great feature. the dpi can be set in increments of 25. still not enough to exactly match my monitor but it can get very close...
i am having an issue with palm feel but thats likely to change 1s i get used to it...
is it worth the money... well if you can get it cheaper than 90 then its hard to justify getting any higher end gaming mouse because they just arent as feature rich in the customization department.

its a allout war between the deathadder black edition and the corsair , i use a cheap mousepad just a black rubberbacked cloth one , would the corsair do fin on that you think?

couldnt really say
but just tried it on my desk with no mouse mat and its still just as good
i still like my lino tile though--cost £1 in a diy store and 5 or 6 years later its still not showing signs of wear
I have the Razer Abyssus and I quite like it. From what iv seen the only difference between the Death Addler and the Abyssus is the shapes are a little different and the death addled has 2 side buttons. I did get BSOD by the mouse 2 times when I opened a fullscreen game. Once with an older driver and once with the newest one. It's cheap has 3500 DPI and the settings are super easy to change! I recommend it although the best thing is go down to a store nearby and try out some mice to see how they feel.

most razer mice look similar, feel similar but perform massivley different... a lot of em do have a mmb issue but i have used the lachesis for over 18 months and it is a worthy mouse if a little cheaply built... the cheaper models are well worth the money and you dont need any more dpi than 2400 anyway so 3600 is more than enough...
so yeah the death adder updated or the kova+ would be my recommendation for a entry level mouse for under 40 pounds.
