From reading all these threads on >mice>, I can't tell what you guys consider to be a good mice. I've only used two mice in my life, the Logitech G500 and the Microsoft Mouse Optical 1.1A USB. The G500 and I never gelled and my 1.1A has too low of an DPI for my 1440p screen. So what I'm hoping for is a good, (and hopefully affordable mice 40-60 dollars), mice that is like my 1.1A. I really like how light the 1.1A is when compared to the G500. Gogo 2013 technology ( i swear the 1.1 is older than most people's youngest siblings).

I popular favourite among people is the Deathadder series. Despite coming from a company that is generally looked down upon on this forum, their mice and generally very solid. I've kinda recently got a Deathadder 2013 and love it. It's a great upgrade from my original DA. However, I don't really think it fits the budget of 40 - 60 USD.

If you like the shape of the WMO then I would recommend the SS Sensei (regular or RAW), SS Kana, ZOWIE FK, or Logitech G100s.
http://www.amazon.com/Precision-Programmable-Buttons-Cartridges-Switches/dp/B00AAQRNQ8 Similar to the Deathadder, but with adjustable weight, more dpi availability, more buttons, a better cable, and it's a bit wider and more padded. I can't recommend this mouse enough. Although a Deathadder or Sensei would be a good choice too.
The deathadder is fat and heavy like the G500, so don't buy it. The RAT 5 is heavy and overpriced. The G400 is another heavy mouse like the G500. The Sensei Raw is light, but it has that Avago 9500 sensor, which has built in acceleration, which I don't like, though if you want a Sensei, then it should definitely be the raw version. The Abyssus has low weight, but some people say that its sensor has jitter (I don't know if this has been fixed yet.), and you have to do a real complicated procedure if you want to use 900 CPI with it.

Looking at the other suggestions in this thread, I'm most interested in the Zowie FK.
The Zowie is way out of my price range though. Seems like I should stick with the Steel Series mice line.

Yeah, unfortunately there's not a lot of options out there if you want a 1.1 shape for cheap. Only other thing I can think of is a Zowie AM-FG.

If you just want something light weight though a CM Storm Spawn, Savu, G100s, or Abyssus could work.
