I'm in need of a new mouse. My current mouse is not a gaming mouse, and the left-mouse button has basically died. I have to press it so hard just to have it click. This, as you may already know, destroys any gaming experience. It was a good mouse while it lasted (for about 6 months). But now, I would like to buy a mouse that will last me much, much longer. My budget is 50 bucks, no higher. I don't want to spend a ton of money on just a mouse. Can I get some recommendations on some good quality mice that will last me a good deal of time?
A mouse is more about comfort in your own hands than anything. Go to a local electronics/hardware store where they have mice on display, and get an idea of what you find comfortable. The best mice in your price range I know of are the Logitech G5 and MX518 and Razer Diamondback 3G. I don't much like the Logitech mice personally, but that's mainly because of the way I hold the mouse (mainly just with my fingers, I don't rest my palm on the mouse itself).
I have a razer copperhead but i've also heard good things about the G5. It really depends how you hold your mouse, if you hold it like me and keep your hand still on the table a razer mouse is proberbly better suited for you, if you move your hand choose a logitech.

What mouse do you use? I seem to hold the mouse exactly like you do.
The mx518 is the single best gaming mouse I've ever used. I didn't like the textured body of the g5 nor do I like the shapes of the g7, g9, or any razer mouse. Circuit City usually has all of them on display if you have one of those near you.
I've grown to LOVE the Logitech G5...going from Microsoft mouse to the G5 took a good two weeks to get used to since it requires more of a claw shape to your hand to hold it as oppose to laying your entire hand on the mouse. I love that now.
As important as the mouse is...keep in mind the mouse service you're using it on. Get a good, quality mouse pad that is meant for gaming with a laser mouse. The smoother service will amaze you.
