I believe my mouse is finally telling me to get a new one. My previous mouse was the Creative Fatal1ty Gaming Mouse.

Whats wrong with it? I don't really know. It locks up sometimes, as in cursor becomes unresponsive and if I was pressing a button at the time it acts like it is still being held.

Now the CFGM was a full hand mouse. My palm rested on it and each finger had a place to sit. I would really like to get a mouse that has buttons for each finger except pinky. Or something that my hole hand can rest on because I don't really like having my ring finger hanging off.

I would like to keep all options under $50. If it's probably $10 over and it looks good I might be interested.

So there are some of the options that I liked when I was looking on Newegg. I think I actually looked through every companies offerings on Newegg :D.

Gigabyte GM-M8000
steelseries Ikari
Wolfking Trooper
Microsoft Sidewinder X5
Razer Deathadder

So far I like the look of the Ikari.

This is what I've been using for like ~2 years just an FYI.

The Razer Death Adder is without a doubt the best mouse in that list :D. However, I suggest you look at Logitech's offerings as well ;)

I would go with this logitech personally. It has a tilt wheel and weight tuning as well as very high DPI sensing.

G5 has been discontinued on Newegg so I couldn't recommend it. :? I guess they finally pushed out the old model.

None of Logitech's offerings appeal to me in comfort looks. You gotta understand, I'm used to have my ring finger support by the mouse, not holding onto the mouse with it,

For this, this is why I like the Ikari the best out of the 5 options I posted. It has a area to rest my ring finger on. This is also why I don't like the Deathadder.

Right now the X5 and the Ikari are the mouses I like the best.

Actually, I just saw a mouse that I REALLY like, but I can't get it.

It's from a company called Ozone. The mouse? Smog

Only problem though it's only available in EU... Tried using their contact page on their website, but it errors on me in both Chrome and IE.

Read the other posts before replying.

I am most likely not going to get the Deathadder because of it's design.

I am not picking mouses on their features. I am picking them on design and HAND COMFORT. The Deathadder does NOT look a mouse that I want.

If you like the ring finger support, you might want to take a look at the Lachesis.

Thanks for reading the thread guys. Insert 2 quarters and DON'T play again. None of those have ring finger or pinky finger support and the only one within my price range is the Deathadder which I am NOT GETTING!

I have the Microsoft Sidewinder X8 and it's really comfortable. I'd assume the X5 would be the same.TheBowerhouse
Thinking I might just pick up the X5 for $25 retail from Newegg from their early Black Friday sales.

Because it was below $50.

I just use this basic wireless mouse I got in a keyboard/mouse combo http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-967557-0403-Cordless-Desktop-S510/dp/B000AY2L3U

At $30 at Radioshack that day I couldn't resist!

My had has a G500, my ring finger doesn't rest on that comfortably and it's bigger than the G5.
