Replace my dying WMO!

I have an old Microsoft Wheeled Mouse optical, and i love it...But it's getting old.

It's having some issues with the scroll wheel, and it's not worth it to me to replace it with a new WMO.

 

Budget of 60 dollars, i play lots of FPS games (Don't recommend anything without a "perfect" sensor) and use 400 DPI. If the mouse doesn't support 400 DPI don't recommend it either. I had to use a Func MS-3 at 450 DPI and that totally killed it for me. I have relatively large hands, and use a palm grip. I would like at least two side buttons, more wouldn't hurt though.

 

Edit: I play on a cloth MM200 extended, if i missed any other details tell me

Specs: 4790k | Asus Z-97 Pro Wifi | MX100 512GB SSD | NZXT H440 Plastidipped Black | Dark Rock 3 CPU Cooler | MSI 290x Lightning | EVGA 850 G2 | 3x Noctua Industrial NF-F12's

Bought a powermac G5, expect a mod log sometime in 2015

Corsair is overrated, and Anime is ruined by the people who watch it

Anything from Zowie with an optical sensor would be your best bet. The EC1 comes to mind.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

Turn the sensitivity of the mouse down in Windows....? I can't tell the difference between 3000 DPI and 1000 when you screw around with the slider bar in Windows in the mouse settings.

 

 

Otherwise, Zowie FK1.
