grip: does not matter
budget: unlimited
dpi: highest possible. only play fps and strategy game

light, minimal button

very good mouse indeed. now i afraid it will die off by ROS and BF 4.

Need some suggestion for some mouse.
My Cyborg Rat 9 just died.
Scroll wheel couldn't function properly anymore after 6 months. Seems like this is a very common occurrence too.  (Extremely disappointed with them. I would expect better durability from a flagship mouse that cost nearly RM 500)

Was using DA several years back too, liked it a lot but not enough buttons.

I need something with lots of buttons, preferably a thumb scroll wheel button.
Will be using it for multimedia (FCPX, Photoshop, lightroom) functions alongside a intous tablet.

Palm grip, right handed (medium sized hand)

Wired or wireless doesn't matter. As long as it's very reliable and it doesn't lag. I felt the cyborg rat 9 lags at times. It also uses custom battery which runs through like water. Once both given batteries are dead, there is no way you can get replacements as they're very very hard find.

DPI medium to medium high. Switchable on the go is preferred but not needed. Just don't reset the settings everytime I switch it on (OSX).

Should be able to input buttons macro on OSX, hardware customization not important.

No more Saitek, my mouse died in less than a year but warranty only covers 90 days. I've lost confidence in that brand.

Budget about RM 500.

Thanks !
