I have a razer Kabuto right now and it has worn out and gotten discolored and it served me well in the last 1.5 - 2 years... I am looking for an upgrade...preferablly nothing too expensive...maybe like 50$ maximum

 

I am also looking for a clip that I could use to hang my headphones off of the side of my desk when I am not using them...

would that be okay if my desk got hit and shook? I have kids running around my house because I always have relatives here and they have a tendency to run right into my desk

Yeah it clamps pretty well, as tight as you want it to be and it only hangs out like 3-4 inches. Durability wise, I am not totally sure, it is all plastic but it would probably just bend a bit and be fine.

Yup, brushed aluminum is pretty sweet.

I really like their hard pads. They are the only one with a mostly complete line. They kinda took over from steelseries with their line of 10x12 hardpads.

Another one of my favorites is http://c4mousepads.com/C4Ngen.htm
