I used to use Logitech mice, but they were never really comfortable. Always felt a little too big and bulky. I switched to a Razer Diamondback 3G, and that fits my small hands really well. Not as ergonomic as the Deathadder/Habu though. Heh, maybe if they had a mini version of the Deathadder...

LIES!!! Logitech G5 is 49 bucks and the best mouse ever. It's software has a few glitches here and there but all in all the bst mouse. Ant its cheaper 
I as well have a death adder, and yes it is very well worth the $60
But I am trying to stop myself from buying a lachesis. 4000 dpi is INSANE
It may not seem like a lot... But it is... I noticed a difference from logitec mice from the moment I got my Death Adder. Nothing beats Razer. Also have the eXactMat, and this thing is great. Extremely smooth side and a slightly rough side. Makes for perfect mouse movements and is plenty big. You can't tell me playing on a wooden desk is better than that, unless it is like polished wood 8)

4000 dpi is crazy. I can't even use my mouse (MS Sidewinder) at 2000 dpi becuase even that's too twitchy for me. Anyway, I like the sidewinder myself, but it is a little pricey. For me, it's one of the best feeling mice out there and I love the side button placement.

Had an old boomslang from way back in the day, when they kept the ball for weight. Was a great mouse, comfortable to use and great in-game, but it broke after about a year and by that time Razer had gone under (years ago).
So then I got a Razer Pro 1.6 about a year ago (white version of adder, basically. Drivers were a little awkward but useful, and the mouse felt a little light and plasticy, but overall it was a definite boon to my gaming. After about 6 months or so it started acting up, randomly disconnecting and even BSODing a few times. At the time Razer only offered support for products ordered from their only store unless it was bought in Canada, and insisted I return it to the vendor, which I couldn't do because it was a GCO order on Buy.com. Just recently though, they started up a support site, but dealing with their support staff is a pain to say the least, with most calls being me just saying 'check' as they went through their lists whilst I really just played solitaire...
Contrastively, my gf's MS optical 4000's scroll started feeling a little sticky at one point, so with just my name, address, purchase info, and a scan of the bottom of the mouse faxed to MS supplemental parts, I just got a replacement sent to me in less than a week. Meanwhile, I'm waiting on my RMA from Razer, playing instead on my 10yr old MS optical basic.
Also, 4000dpi might sound like heaven, but keep in mind you'll never use more than 400-600dpi unless you want to spin in a full circle by moving the mouse a quarter inch. Real strong suit I feel is in Photoshop, where I can use the toggle keys to dial up and down the sensitivity, wherein TF2 I just have sensitivity and acceleration setup in each class script.
Sorry for the thread-crapping, but I guess the moral is don't get yourself caught up in buying specialty gaming hardware, and instead rely on the tried and trues like MS and Logitech.

i prefer the Logitech Mx-518. you can switch between the DPI, its only 2000, but you get sued it to. The G5 is a gimmick with its weight, and i did not like the feel of the RAzer mouses. Plus it was only 30

This is my best friend right here. I say the Logitech MX-518 is the best mouse because first of all, it is a wired mouse. You can change the amount of dpi from lowest to highest with 3 settings. It is very comfortable and fits in your hand nicely. mx518 ftw.

I got the copperhead and its not 1 handed (though i game right handed im in genral left handed so i look for stuff that isnt for just right handed people by nature) also if i were to reorder id get the lechesis which has 2 more buttons and 2000 more dpi
I love my G5, picked one up at Best Buy for $50. I use the 2000 dpi everywhere except when I'm zoomed in sniping and I kick it down to 800. I've been using Logitech mice and keyboards for about 15 years, I looked at the Razer's but I wasn't quite sold on them (though to be fair, I've never used one ingame).
I <3 my microsoft HABU. It's got all the typical junk: dpi switching (a must for snipers), blue glowpipes, programmable buttons, plus five different configurable setting modes that you can preset via software and than store in the mouse; like, I have setting one set up for work, with the buttons macroed for copy/paste/delete, etc...and setting two is for photoshop and buttons set for zoom in, zoom out, insert, etc, and than one for gamming. it's nice to be able to change your configuration by pushing a button and not having to reconfigure your mouse everytime you start doing something else...also, it's great that you can turn off the blue glowpipes at night
