In the market for a gaming mouse + mouse pad

Sorry if this should be in the PC & Mac Games forum, but I thought the Computer Hardware Discussion forum would be a better place for this.

Long story short, I'm in the market for a good gaming mouse and a solid mousepad. I have roughly 15" of space available for the mousepad, and I prefer to use wired mice. I'm in the market for anything under ~$80-$90.

This will be used almost exclusively for shooters.

Thanks in advance! :)

Steelseries Sensei is currently the top gaming mouse out there. For a mouse pad you should get the Steelseries QcK gaming mouse pad. About 80 USD for the Sensei, and 10 USD for the mouse pad.

I use the R.A.T. 7, I love it.

Are you a 1337 hardcore shooter looking to improve your aim drastically or just another GS member? If the former, just get the WMO mouse, it's like 15$ and set it to 1000hz. It is better than every expensive mouse I have ever used including: g5, lachesis, mx518, g400, etc. Most quake live pros use this or the razer abyuss

Also for mousepad, I love dis http://www.amazon.com/Razer-Goliathus-Alpha-Control-Fragged/dp/B002R0DX0U/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1325784147&sr=1-1

I don't see why you guys need to spend so much. There really isn't a huge difference between a $15 mouse and a $50 mouse.

Works amazing for shooters and the mouse also lights up and changes 5 different colors. Trust me its going to be the first thing that wows people when they see your computer lol. All my friends wanted one right after they saw mine. They thought I paid over $50 for it but I only payed $10 :P Had it for a year still going strong.

They have it on ebay for $10

Sorry for going OT, but I have a quick question for you: I read Fragtality's mouse guide that you linked a long while back, and he mentions that the older silver-topped IME 3.0 with with P/N starting with "X08" is built better than the newer grey-topped IME 3.0. I'm using what I'm assuming is an older silver-topped IME 3.0, but the P/N starts with "X06" instead of "X08"; do you know if it's mechanically or electronically any different than the "X08" version? A google search didn't yield anything :?

How come everyone ignores the WMO mouse when pretty much every quake live pro who has way better hand eye coordination that every1here(except me ofc) uses the WMO. Nobody uses laser mice, nobody uses the deathadder, it's all the WMO, or the razer abyuss.JigglyWiggly_

I'd say the G400 or G500, depending if you like optical or laser is optical go with g400 if laser g500 been using my G500 since it came out in 2009 no problems here

Just a lil information, there is no WMO 1.1, the WMO is just the WMO. There is the intellimouse 1.1, which has side buttons. There's also the 3.0 that is shaped like most other mice. JigglyWiggly_

People just tend to buy expensive laser mice because:

They don't know anything

They really want side buttons, but the intellimouse 1.1 does have them
