Not really sure what I should get.

I pretty much only play Starcraft 2.

I was thinking of the Razr Deathadder?

But I really don't know, advice? :)

It really depends on how much presicion you want out of your mouse. The Deathadder is only an optical mouse, so if you plan on playing Starcraft 2 competively, I would recommend getting a good laser mouse.

G500 is great for its extra buttons, you can decide to leave the top two buttons as DPI changes for faster or slower mouse scrolling or change them to extra buttons like I did in WoW. I don't play SC2 a lot anymore but you can hotkey things to those buttons like those really annoying hotkeys that are on the right side of the keyboard away from everything else or macro attack to one of them.

Check out the Razor Naga. It has more buttons than any other mouse that I know of.

I'm kinda disappointed that they stopped making the G5. Kinda prefer it to the G500, but whatever, they're almost the same.

Got both a Logitech MX518 and a G700. Like em both a lot. They pretty much do what I want 'em to do, so, no need for anything more fancy...

I use the MX518 and it's the best mouse i've used in years. Highly recommend it.

The 518 Is a great mouse Indeed, but I'd recomend the Cyborg. You can get the RAT 5 - the RAT 9 starting at 49$ up to 99$, best mouse eva!

Uhm... So many options... Not sure which one I should choose? Kinda' leaning on the MX518 and G500.

EDIT - Now kind of leaning towards the G500 and Naga.

Hmm, hmm.

Edit 2 - Ugh, now there's also this one http://store.razerzone.com/store/razerusa/en_US/pd/productID.199816600

So many to choose from :(

Which would you pick if all you played was Starcraft 2?

Just ordered the Mx518 off of Newegg.ca (when the sale was/is on free shipping) I was going to get the G500 but didn't feel the need in paying 93.00 for a mouse so I payed half that with the Mx518

I have a deathadder, and it's more than enough for starcraft 2. Any more buttons than it has are completely unnecessary for SC2. All the buttons you need are on your keyboard. I'm platinum, and i got there with it, it's a fine choice.

I'm working with a deathadder right now, I also got a mamba sitting around on my desk (gotta call in the warranty on it, I think it's defective damn thing constantly drifts to the left or right when i try and move the mouse, makes it a pain in BFBC2 ), but I must say I'm very happy with the deathadder, got a nice feel, striking design, and good enough performance. I've tested it out on SC2 and it does well enough, SC2 is more dependent on keyboard macros than mouse speed and precision, for FPS it definitely pales in comparison to my Mamba (when functional), the only thing I don't like about it is there's no button for the on the fly sensitivity adjustments, you can macro it but still I expect that option to be there for a $79 mouse, but than again Razer is OP to begin with

Thats actually kind of bad advice for buying a mouse.

Get something that is comfortable (maybe go into a store and grab hold of one), has plenty of buttons and good build quality. Im looking into the R.A.T 7

My advice, go to a big store and try the ones on display (also they will often let you take them out of the box to test the feel too), then just grab whichever one feels the most comfortable in your hand and with your grip style.

Well, I've never played Starcraft, but that Starcraft mouse is just there for Starcraft fanbois who will impulse buy anything that contains the word "Starcraft" on it regardless of whether the product is actually good or even necessary.

It's all down to personal preference really. Most of the SC pros use laptop optical mice or very basic small gaming mice hence the Asian Edition of the Salmosa which is exactly the same as the regular Salmosa except it's smaller. 95.9mm (length) x 54.4mm (W) x 33.3mm (H) 115mm (length) x 63mm (width) x 37mm (height)

I bought the Logitech G9, it is maybe a bit expensive but worth it as hell.
