act, it depends on wut kind of player u r whether u r an agressive or pasif kinda, and how u normally hold ur mouse. b4 this i want to buy MIE 3.0 so bad but ended up buying mx518 cuz that mos out of stock oledy (cuz saw so many pros using m.i.e 3.0 ).. but mx518 wasn't suite well for me. i donno y. until i sold it (cuz need some cash) and later i bought logitech G1 then i realized i'm kinda player who supposed to use a light n symmetrical shape mouse also not too bulky.

n last month i bought ms ie.3.0 from sumone n it cant beat my black shiny G1..

for mousepad i recommend clothpad. currently i'm using razer mantis control n hapy with it . my advice, wut ever peripherals u use, find the rite sens when u play.

juz my 2 cents

my fren bought 1 copperhead (1st edition from us by shipping). few months later i got problem with connectivity. then he bought diamondback. got same problem again. then goes the next diamond back.. then again (this time during wcg prelims).. fade-up with that faulty thingy, he bought at-tech rx7.. n currently he's using msie 3.0. he's feeling hapy with his new mouse (so far )

few of my frens who use razer diamondback also having da same problem several times. cuz of that, i don hav confidence with razer mouse.. or maybe my fren really pro n the mouse cant withstand fragging lots of enemies everyday lol

new msie 3.0 not arrived m'sia yet but da price is -+ USD$39.95

habu is USD$69.95

get Logitech G1 lar. rm100 only. its an updated version of mx300 (besides it uses da same shape of mx300 but its using mx510 800dpi engine with less weight. the mouse feet n click made from teflon) many msian pro gamer still using mx300 n some of them use G1 cuz mx300 out of stock oledy.

u may ask other people's opinoon for better choice making decisions..

G1 not so small like other tiny shaped mouse.. for a person who most of the time grip mouse with their finger, i suggest this one ( like me =) ). but for palm-gripped person, better larger mouse (msie 3.0 very comfortable for this kinda person) .
