Gaming mice are built specifically for gamers. They all vary in price and quality, so it's important you know what to look for.

1. Figure out how you hold your mouse; this will be important for later. There are 3 basic types of grips people use:
Palm grip: This is how most people hold their mouse. Your entire hand lies flat on the mouse.
Claw grip: This one is like the palm grip, but characterized by arched fingers in the shape of a claw.
Fingertip grip: The entire mouse is held with just your fingertips, the palm won't touch the mouse.

2 Find out if you how big your movements are when using your mouse. If you play using big, sweeping motions, you'll be looking for low DPI (DPI pretty much means how sensitive the mouse is, low DPI would be considered 1600 or lower). If however you play using smaller motions, you'll want a mouse that can support higher DPI, more than 3000.

3 Now think about what kind of games you play. Do you mainly play FPS games? RTS? MMO? Most mice cater to FPS games, but there are also mice that have more buttons and macros designed for RTS games and MMO's.

4 Go to Amazon and look at the menu to the left. Set the DPI to fit your needs depending on your playstyle, make sure the reviews are at least 4 stars and set your price range, or go to another website of your choice, inputting the same information.

5 Now pay attention to the pictures. Look at the two main buttons. If they don't look distinguished and the mouse looks rather large, it's probably a palm-grip mouse. If the two main buttons are clearly indented or visible in some way and the mouse is kind of small, it's meant for finger and claw-grip players.

6 Once you found a mouse you like be sure to check the user reviews.

7 When you find one that fits your needs and has good reviews, buy it. You may want to consider buying a mousepad too if you don't already have one.

Go for it, it looks like a very nice mouse. One of the ones I was choosing between was the Deathadder, in the end I didn't go for it because I didn't want a green light :p

I love it, it's comfortable with the right amount of side buttons(2 on the side). The only problem was the software gave a few issues, nothing too annoying.

G400 is the best gaming mouse around . IF you can get the G400S it will be even better.

sorry to burst your bubble but the g400 is definitely not the 'best'... maybe best value for money?
and the g400s is a apparently not available for sale by any stores in SA

My g400 is on its way :D

Well let me then add " In my opinion "

I have been playing competitve FPS for a couple of years now. Ive had many a brand of mouse and the G400 is MILES ahead of the others in reacting to what you do. I can go out and say that every single person that has tried my G400 at a lan has gone and buy themselves one. I good mate of mine that is sponsored by Steelseries and plays with their top of the range Sensei has told me several times how he misses the G400.

So im standing by what I said. The G400 is the best gaming mouse around ( I will add ) For FPS
