Over these years, I've just used a regular generic USB optical mouse, but I kinda wanna try a gaming mouse. Does anyone know of one that's worth it's dollar?
Little edit from RS:

I mean, if I'm gonna pay $50~ for a mouse, why not bump up to something like the R.A.T for $15~ more that has a lot more buttons? But then again, I don't suppose I need all those features..

Get the fucking MX518, if you get anything else you will be disappointed.

Well this mouse looks alright, and its simple,
design is cool,(opinion
Kensington Ci65m Notebook Wireless Optical Mouse - 3-btn Mouse - Wireless - RF
its pretty cheap
$14-20$
its a wireless mouse, simple sometimes cords can be a hassle,
this mouse has a grip, its an optical mouse and it provides 1000dpi tracking
either that or the Habu Laser,
it has 2000 dpi and a 16 bit data path,
you can also set the side button panels to some keys you want.
also it lights up
and yea the MX518 is pretty good aswell

Mainly depends on preference. For vent I use ~ (tilde) since I have no use for it elsewhere and it's easy to hit. I just rebind consoles in any game that has them to something like insert. From there I have enough keys for everything with combination with CTRL/ALT.
I have a G15 keyboard and I've honest never used the G-keys on it for anything. I just recently bound G12 to be my Stealth button in WoW for my Rogue to easily hit it with my pinky lol.
But I've never needed more then what my keyboard can give me.

IMO the most important part in a gaming mouse is the amount of DPI it has.
Higher for fast movement and low for precision. All other function is just add-ons and really depends if you need it or not.
I've got a MS 5 button optical mouse (7 years old) which isn't that bad for most of the games I play and the 2 extra buttons located on the sides is just for internet use. They're for forward and back.
