I have owned two mx310's by logitech. The first one lasted 2 years before breaking, this second one has been working for 6 years. Occasionally it will stop working for 2-8 seconds. lol... still to good of a mouse to replace.

Since Microsoft stopped making their legendary Intellipoint mice, I've found the Steelseries Sensei RAW, and it's the closest thing to the Microsoft. Amazing mouse, but still scroll-wheel could use more feels as it jogs. Would recommend, cheap too (49.99)

Never buy Razer, their rep is in the dumpster for a damn good reason. Logitech is solid. I'm on my first Steelseries mouse, a Kinzu V2 "pro edition" whatever the fuck that means. It's lighter and smaller than the Intellimouse so great mouse if you're partial to fingertip grip. I used to love the Logitech G5 but it feels clunky and awkward compared to the Kinzu

Keep in mind that the SteelSeries Sensei has acceleration built into the sensor that you can't disable. I used that mouse for over a year before I found out about it. I felt like I my aim wasn't as consistent as I wanted it to be, but I was at a loss as to what exactly was throwing me off. The Logitech G502 Proteus Core apparently has zero acceleration. That's why I got it. I'm very happy with it so far.

Again, my Deathadder has outlasted my memory, I honestly have no idea how old it is, I think it is one of the originals. In which case I say it had a pretty long life, haha (even though I expected it to live forever).

Hence the RAW..

That has nothing to do with it. It applies to both versions of the Sensei. The acceleration is in the sensor itself. Just google it.

So what you're paranoid about is that it is not perfectly manufactured, yet it has better sensors than 99% of the garbage things like Razr sell. No sensor is perfect. If they were, we wouldn't have multi-million dollar robots that can barely pour a glass of water after years of programming.
EDIT: Here's another one:

I think that I've done a pretty good job of not speaking in absolutes. The Sensei definitely served me well, and there are things about it that I like even over the G502 (such as its light weight, for example), but I personally don't want to risk having any acceleration fucking up my aim.

Hence why the Sensei's a wicked mouse for it. As per the above tests people performed, it's got one of the best sensors.

You can still use them... the rage is PS3/4 and Xbox controllers but lets not forget the Steam Controller and HL3 is confirmed.

FYI for Logitech G502 users, this can be a problem at times: http://forums.logitech.com/t5/Mice-and-Pointing-Devices/Logitech-G502-Proteus-Core/td-p/1302813
It just happened to me again tonight while I was playing in TD on de_mirage. Any ideas on how to fix this? It doesn't seem to happen too often, but it's very annoying.
