I thnk your right! My actuall reason for wanting to get a gaming mouse is stated here: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/410661 But to be hounest maybe il just save that money! lecsiy
as long as the mouse is made of decent quality materials and fits your hand well, it won't get much better.
cheap cheap cheap. i got mine from tescos. kboard and mouse, wireless £15. monsters the bats tho. aas in the kboard last about 2 weeks, aaas in the mouse last about 2 hours on bf2. false ecconomymy bats and charger cost me £45 but it will do them in 10 mins and i allways have a spare set. they work great and there is no lag with them but thats because they are off or on, no sleep mode, you need to press a button to turn them on and the go off after 3mins inactivity. they work for me and the multimedia buttons are great. back to topic i use the arm on my leather chair as my mouse mat(spilt beer makes it sticky tho) and that works fine for me.
