With online gaming being as competitive as it is these days, you will no doubt want to take advantage of every opportunity available (short of cheating) to gain an edge over your online foes. Today we are taking a look at five gaming mice that aim to do just that.Considering it would be nearly impossible to cover all options we have gone with the usual suspects which usually carry the best ergonomics and sensor technology available at any given time.
Meet the cream of the crop: from Logitech, the G5 and G9 mice. Microsoft is represented by the Sidewinder and Habu mice, while Razer rounds out the group with the Lachesis gaming mouse.

Edit: Not sure how they can say it is small... it's huge compared to my previous Microsoft PS/2 Wheelmouse

I may get the gen 2 because of the rubberize grip to it..
You're supposed to get a headshot with it, not make love to it.
Ach... So that's where I've been going wrong!
Also, my vote goes for the £10 Logitech RX1000 laser mouse...

I'm using the logitech VX (smaller version of the MX), I can't find a mouse better for my work & gaming needs.
Check out these ES reality benchmarks if you want a real mouse comparison

I got the razor metal mouse pad ,dual sided control and speed .. love it
(Microsoft + Razer keyboard and mouse) + Razer mousepad = Gamer's paradise.
The thumb buttons are arranged with a rocker/push switch (2-way togle that also depresses) cleverly disguised as a wheel, below a pair of "forward" and "back" buttons. All buttons are programmable, naturally.
What really sets the MX Revolution the stand-out, though, is that you can set profiles for each app, game, folder, or document you want. So, you can set the thumb wheel to peek left/crouch/peek right in GRAW2 while in Supreme Commander it's set to Spin Map Left/Reset Map/Spin Map Right. You launch a game or app or whatever, and once you're in it your buttons are programmed as you set them in the profile. Plus, you can set the wheel to free-spin or ratchet-spin, or to smart-switch between those to spin modes depending on how much force you spin the wheel with!!
Best of all, the whole thing is a sealed-unit wireless mouse with a lazer for a sensor and a litium-ion battery pack for power. No more buying batteries or messing with cords.
The concludes me "glowing review mode" here on Neowin.net. Stay tuned for the next person, when you will hear the next person say:
most pro pc gamers use the microsoft intelli 3.0, for one its cheap, and its got a 2000 dpi laser!
