Default What's your recommendation for a good gaming mouse ?

I am thinking Logitech's G5, it has pretty good reps from my friends.

Most important defination of a "good" mouse --- your hand wont hurt after 8 hours of gaming / working.

PS: I bought this MX revolution last week and I am eBaying it already coz my hand hurts !!

If you think rap sucks or isn't "real music", quit being pretentious and go sample something that isn't on the radio:
De La Soul, Lupe Fiasco, Common, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Brand Nubian, Canibus, A Tribe Called Quest, The Roots, Gang Starr, Digital Underground, Kanye West, Immortal Technique, etc.

Better yet, try to make a 4 minute spoken word poem read to a beat that doesn't suck or sound corny if you think hip hop has no talent.

If you didn't like that mouse, I would stay away from the G5 and MX518. I would try to go to a store that would have a varied selection of mouses to see which feels best.

Ive had a G5, G7, & G9 so far I've loved my G9 over anything, but they G5 is nice aswell. DO NOT GET A G7 they are nice for a while, but then they start spazing out and loosing connection alot.

I tried the MX revolution in CircuitCity...It felt awesome...I meant, who would stand in the store for hours just to try out how comfortable a mouse is ?
