It may seem silly because of my crappy computer, but I'm looking to get a gaming mouse. Preferably one with side buttons for leaning. I'm willing to spend $50, but would rather spend less, of course. I saw a cool mouse that let you change the optical power (?) so that you could get very accurate shots, or turn very quickly with the click of a button.
So, who's got some oppinions or info for me?
Thanks.

Using Logitech MX310 and I like it fine. I bought a laser mouse and the damn thing was TOO sensative. I normally keep my mouse movement set pretty high normally. Turned the laser all the way down and still couldnt get used to it. It's sitting in a drawer now.

If there are any Mac users out there who are using Logitech Laser mice, I'd highly recommend you grab the phenomenal universal USB mouse driver, SteerMouse here: http://plentycom.jp/en/steermouse/

It costs $20, but is worth every penny.

Logitech's drivers don't allow you to have separate button sets for different applications. SteerMouse adds that functionality so you can define your buttons to your heart's content. You'll be able to bash, jump and pound with the best of them.

I don't know about the other Logitech drivers, but Setpoint which comes with the G5 mouse does have separate button sets for different applications. And they load automatically when you run the application. It will not allow a two key emulation (say the a and w key pressed at the same time) for a mouse button. I would be interested if Steermouse can do this.

Oh yeah, that your is GREAT!
