Gaming mice advice

[Highlander89]

Hello OC3D, time has come for my old trusted wireless logitech basic mouse to take a break.

So I'm searching for a solid all rounder with emphasis on comfort in the 50€ range. I have pretty big hands so I want a big mouse. Also would like 2-5 extra mouse buttons. I play all kinds of games, RPG's, RTS', FPS', MMO's, tractor simulators etc.
I currently use a 7-year old S&S steelpad, a hard plastic mousepad.

I've used Logitechs in the past, had two MX500 but the cord went bust on both. Really liked the shape of those. Don't like how they now have gotten so expensive. A couple of years ago you could pay 50€ and get a really good mouse, now you have to cough up 85€ for the G502.

I've been searching alot and reading reviews and the SteelSeries Sensei Rubberized looks pretty decent for just over 50€.

Also you get a gaming mouse + keyboard from CM for just under 50. The CM Storm Devastator (the extra keybord would come in handy since I then could use my current wireless keyboard + mouse for the TV laptop. Although I dunno if I want to put down some more money on a mech keyboard, they seem awfully expensive).

I've heard alot of mixed reviews from Razer, some will live and die by the Razer Deathadder, and other say this and that, it's cheap quality, crappy mouse buttons, shitty software. Although one of the best for big hands. The price lands at 63€ though.

Then there is the Corsair Vengeance M65
And all kinds of other brands QPAD, Roccat, Zowie, Minoix, such a hardware jungle out there :S

Inputs welcome.

Cheers.

I have the Rival, it is the best mouse I have ever used. The sensor is great, no built in acceleration or angle snapping and the pointer goes exactly where you move it.
If you have big hands the Rival will definitely be a good choice as it is one of the longest mice out there. I have huge hands myself and most mice are to small for me but the Rival fits my hand nicely.

The only downside to it is the rubber sides start to wear after a while, they have on mine anyway. I'm not sure if Steelseries sell replacements but I haven't seen any, something to bear in mind about it anyway.

I'll put my usual vote in for Roccat

Zowie do great performing mice for the price. They don't look amazing but they are great. Corsair are ehhhhhhhh but quite a few people on here are happy with theirs.

Think I'm gonna go for the Rival, since I want a big mouse. As for the rubber sides, meh, I've would've been surprised if I got a perfect mouse in that budget. Atleast it's not that a trivial thing. Wear and tear are to be expected.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys!

To be honest where the rubber has worn down it has molded it to my grip so it isn't all bad. Just thought i'd mention it so you know what to expect if you went for one.

You won't be disappointing with it though
