    Good, ergonomic/comfortable gaming mouse with (very) high DPI?

    Look at Razer mice, I love their mice and keyboards.  I recommend the Mamba or Deathadder. Don't even think about the Naga, because that thing looks like an accidental press heaven.

    Call up Logitech and they'll send you a new one. G5 is a good mouse as well. Been using Logitech mice for years now; MX500, MX510, MX518 and G5. Have used numerous of each and often were free replacements due to frayed wires.

    The ROCCAT Kone mouse is really good. It has comfortable shape and it's very customizable. It also has a DPI of 3200 I believe, if you favor a high DPI.

    I use a Steelseries Ikari laser. It's quite nice. Got it with a Steelseries SX surface as well.

    What is DPI? I quite like the mouse I have, though I'm not familiar with what it is. It has a nice groove for your thumb, very ergonomic. Two extra buttons above where your thumb rests, and two more extra buttons: one on either end of the scroll wheel. Love that mouse.

     Dots per Inch. Printing term, but applied to a mouse:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouse_dpi#Mouse_speed 

    Razer Lachesis for me. Excellent mouse. 
     
    Funny thing was I picked up the Razer Mako 2.1 system which has two satellite speakers that fire down onto the table. This throws the mouse all over the desk when the sound is up. Should be some kind of warning =p

    I find the basic Logitech laser mice are pretty confortable and cheap, probably not the highest dpi, but still decent.

    I have an mx518, and I can't stand Razer mice. They have a different hand position, where the fingers lay flat (which means you have less leverage), and the side buttons get in the way of my fingers (I have big hands). I know people who swear by them though, so you should test one out first.

    Torus makes a good point. Choosing a good mouse is about what feels right in your hand. I would avoid getting bogged down with specs. Nothing beats some hands on testing.

    I hate Razer mouse aswell. I tried out the lachesis and holding that thing fucking hurt, and lifting it without pushing the buttons on the side was impossible.

    That's the one I ended up buying. Really happy with it, even more comfortable then the Logitech mx518 i had (thats the one that broke)
    its not quite as precise as I had hoped considering the price, but oh well i play with a low sensitivity anyway. Atleast I get these silly lights that you can change colors on and stuff :\
