Which mouse should I get?

So, my old Intellimouse finally died on me, so I was thinking of getting either the Logitech g400, Razer Deathadder, or the Zowie AM.

I was planning to get the g400 but I heard it had a weak cable so that made me reconsider that mouse.

Razer Deathadder seemed like a good choice with a good sensor and braided cable but I haven't had the best experience with Razer so far.(I'm looking at you Lycosa)

I heard good things about the Zowie AM but then I've never actually tried any of their mouses.

So, which mouse should I get?

same here, have terrible experience with Razer (lycosa and lachesis). I'd suggest you other brand, but not Razer

I have had a g500 it was great excpet it failed on me only after a year and a half (diablo 3 I think killed it) also the software sucked IMO. Now I have a Corsair M65 I love it software is great, ergonomic feel is great, and it is sexy.

If you for Zowie then I suggest you go for Steelseries, more reliable. And if you want fast keys and multiple functionality, Roccat. Their easy shift function rocks. Having a Deathadder Refresh edition. No problem so far.. But Razer..Not really reliable. For cheap and reliable, Logitech. Can never go wrong...

The G400S/G500S are good choices for your mouse. If you have a retail store nearby you, you can go there to try out the mouses before buying.

Get the steelseries black ops 2 mouse from amazon for $30.  It is the same as that sensi mouse but for a LOT LESS.  I love this mouse, lights up and is very comfortable.

Mice is all personal taste, if you want quality, do your search on the particular sensor within the mouse.

 

Personally i fell inlove with the Corsair M65 :)
