logitech g5 is probably the best mouse i've ever used, the feel and grip, the customized weight, the accuracy of the laser.

Get a basic Microsoft USB one. It's not the mouse, it's the player.

Button count, slider for the dpi adjustment. The Razer has slightly better specs, but not enough to ignore more buttons that I definitely will use. I play all sorts of games too.  Unless I am missing something, enlighten me.

I've been playing shooters competitively for quite a while. The slider is a gimmick, especially since the Deathadder uses software sensitivity adjustment (you hold one of the buttons down and scroll, at it changes your sens to a high degree of granularity). Simply put, the Deathadder is more comfortable in my view, and the button press action is much nicer. I suppose if you really need two extra buttons, then yes, get the G500, but I don't think it's that big a deal. I also love the scroll wheel on my Razer much more than the one on my Logitech.   There is no difference between the two on the Amazon page as far as I can tell, it's just been listed twice. "

They both click to click scrolling right? "

Logitech G9x is what I got this christmas, and I love it. I just love feeling it up sometimes, because it's just so comfortable. xD And ofcourse it has all the other stuff you expect of a gaming mouse... gamer profiles, adjustable dpi, weight system and smooth/click scrolling.

The MX Revolution has three modes for scrolling - Free wheel, Click to Click and Click to Click with Free wheel when you spin the wheel.  I think that feature is one the best I've ever encountered.  Oh and you have complete customisation controls for that wheel, the other wheel on the left hand side and all of the buttons, including those which are part of both wheels (pressing the wheels into the mouse body.  It's a laser tracking mouse so it works on practically any surface.  Plus, it looks really nice.  The only mouse that I feel is better is the Logitech MX Air, because you can hold it and use it as pointer or like a Wii Remote.

" Are there any mice with an analog nub (like laptops without a touchpad have) underneath the thumb? "

" @SeriouslyNow: Very interesting. It is a start. I think an analog nub could be quite handy for gaming. I used it want a trackball on the thumb, but it's hard to keep constant force in one direction over time.  Do you happen to know if such nubs report z pressure (push) as well as x and y axis (direct), even on laptops? "

Maybe it's me but think an analog nub/stick would work much better for movement than WASD ever would. Now I can't picture this on the keyboard between W and S but I can easily picture one beside (or in the middle of) the 4 thumb buttons arranged in a plus pattern underneath the thumb on the mouse.
 
Make it so, number one!

Yeah like the Wii FPS Nunchuck on Left, Remote on Right combo?

Logitech G9 is a solid mouse, been using it for a few months now. Used the G7 for three years before that but the batteries weren't lasting very long and they don't sell the replacements anymore.

Logitech G9x

Logitech G9x, best gaming mouse I have had.

" Look into Razer, fantastic make of PC gaming peripherals. I have been using a deathadder since 2007. Logitech also make some fantastic gaming mice "

My mouse has a rocking 400 dpi.
 
I should probably fix that.

Logitech Mx518 is one I've been using for a year now, brilliant mouse.

Get a Razer Diamondback or Deathadder (they use the same great sensor) and a steelseries QCK mousepad.

I got a G9x for 40 bucks.  Best damn mouse ever.  I was turned off by all the seemingly unnecessary features like adjustable grips (seriously wtf?) but it's a really comfortable and useful mouse.  I've used many, many of the top rated mice right now and G9x is my personal favorite.
 
You can't go wrong with a G500 or a DeathAdder either.  Just stay away from the expensive Razer mice like Lachesis or the MS Sidewinder.  Both of those are over priced and uncomfortable as all hell.  Especially the Sidewinder, that thing is a POS.

Any peripherals I require, Logitech are my first port of call.
