Best 2011 gaming mouse?

My Logitech MX Revolution is dying, with several buttons starting to respond poorly, so I am preparing to get a new mouse.

I'm considering a gaming mouse, as I use my PC for games, however, I also use it a lot for other tasks like Photoshopping, 3D design and other stuff that requires a comfortable and high precision mouse. Money is not an issue, I use my PC so much it makes total sense to invest in a solid piece of hardware here.

So far I have been looking into Razer Naga Epic and Logitech Performance Mouse MX, but I'm quite overwhelmed with the huge amount of choices on the market. Any suggestions?

Oh, it should be wireless by the way, as I have a nice soup of cables behind my desk already... :)

Razer Mamba, it's over $100 but so awesome :P.

(You can use it wired OR wireless and has 5600 DPI)

Well whatever you do, dont get the g9 is uncomfortable even for my small palm so I assume is a nightmare to avg/big palms.

The truth is I can't tell the difference between a $10 mouse and a $100 mouse other than the extra buttons. So it's really up to you. I've just been using this one. A few of my friends also own it and love it. It changes colors pretty bad ass if you ask me. I game a lot and have never found the need for the extra buttons but that's just me..

The black/red ones sold out everywhere

Razer Mamba or Cyborg Rat 9 hands down. They're both about the same price. Though you may want to know that the cyborg rat is a bit on the heavier side but has tons of hardware customisation options.

But i must insert disclaimer here, once you use any of these products you may not want to use a lesser mouse. EVER.

I recommend the G700 mouse form logitech.

Not only is it up to 5000 dpi, not only is it wireless, nto only does it have plenty of buttons and on-the-fly dpi adjustment, but it's got the smooth wheel!

I can't do regular wheel anymore.

Naga > Mamba :D

Ive been thinking about getting the Razer Mamba for some time now.

Its a great mouse and you have little to no idea what your talking about. Palm grip: put on the wide grip in the package of the (G9x) Eagle, palm rested with fingers pressed back and raised off the body of the mouse: second smallest grip Claw: No grip. I can palm a basketball and it works perfectly fine for how I play.IvanElk

Be that as it may, I dont get all bias and jiggly over products that I own, I say it as it is. The mouse is just not that comfy to me, no middle finger rest, and the big butt to small tip design doesnt fly for me. Its a matter of opinion and I have mines personally Ill take lachesis or g5/g700 kind of shape & build. At least those dont have the shell get loose and start wobbling like my friends g9 did!

I think Logitech got a little too cute with their designing too since the scroll wheel is tiny in other words form over function though they did save its grace with microgear switch.

I ended up getting the G700 in the end. First impressions are quite good, except my revolution MX was much more convenient to recharge (just had to drop it into a charger every night, while the g700 needs to have a small USB surgically inserted), also the thumb-rest texture makes the mouse feel a bit strange, like someone who had sticky fingers from chocolate has been using it.I cant help thinking it will attract a lot of dirt over time.

Other than that, seems quite responsive, accurate, and comfortable, just need to get used to it... The many buttons sure are very useful, and I appreciate the sleek design. :)
