I would say you have a winner right there, if you are looking for something with more adjustment capabilities, have a look at the R.A.T http://www.cyborggaming.com/prod/rat7.htm

While the styling might not be everybody's cup of tea, I've had solid performance from mine for the past 3 years.

Super customisable, nice and sturdy and doesn't mind what size hand you have, or what weight you prefer.

If I had to buy right now I'd get this:

http://www.wootware.co.za/corsair-c...ce-mmo-rts-laser-white-8200dpi-usb-mouse.html

Always read good reviews and stuff, but what really convinced me was when I got to play with my friend's one in real life.

Super comfy and more than enough buttons to assign to extra item slots for Dota and the buttons are actually easy to use.
 
Lesson I've recently learned (I have the Cyborg M.M.O.7) get a mouse that you can adjust the flipping polling rates! Mad Catz / Cyborg FAIL.

Most proper mouses let you do this.

Out of curiosity though, how did this come up? it's not normally something people change.
 
Mouse glitching / acceleration issues in COD Advanced Warfare. The RAT and MMO range auto poll at the highest frequency they can, you cant set the rate. I had to do a registry fix/hack to force a 250 poll. My MMO7 was polling from 800 to 1200.

lol ... I had one, son still uses it. Must be 10+ years old ? Not enough buttons now for me ...

I think mine is also near the 10 year mark now, still going as strong as the day I bought it. Over that period I've sampled probably 20 mouses for extended periods of time, but still keep coming back to the MX518.

Problem with that mouse is the scroll up function, most of them go faulty after a year, myself went through 3 of them with the exact same scroll bug, plenty other people with the same issue worldwide too.

I even got warned of this by a gaming buddy in UK, he had the scroll issue after 7 months. Got a replacement, 4 months in it happened again to him.
 
It seems the G402 and g502 has some amazing tech inside above the rest of the competition ?so they should be better?
