I'd like to get a new mouse, some recommendations would be much appreciated. I mostly play first-person shooters and some RPG's. I do not play any MMO's, so I'm not interested in getting a mouse with tons of buttons. 

 

My budget is to stay below $100. I was thinking about getting the Razer DeathAdder 2013, but I'm still not sure....

Sir. go with a deathadder deffinately. People will say razer sucks but its well known that deathadder is good compared to ANY other razer mouse. The secor on it is good.

 

Here are some mice with no acceleration and other annoying futures and bugs:

Go with a G400S, good optical sensor and cheaper than the DA 2013....yes, DA 2013 has higher DPI (6400dpi on the DA 2013 vs 4000dpi on the G400s), but seriously, you do not need such high DPI. I game in EyeFinity Surround mode @ 5760x1200 and have my Roccat Kone XTD at 'only' 2000ish DPI.

The point of high dps isn't necessarily to have the mouse move faster, but to make it smoother and more accurate. Your DPS is best set at max and sensitivity turned down in windows and/or game, you'll get much smoother more accurate response this way.

Haha i think you mean the opposite. You have to set your dpi low and dint touch the windows sens settings. It should always stay at 7(default)

Dpi effects how often the sensor inputs mouse movement (or how often it polls the mouse), so by turning down the dpi you're telling the mouse to gather less movement information, which in turn makes the mouse less responsive. Although you're right about Windows, only because Microsoft screwed it up like they're so good at doing.
