Best Not neccesary is expensive
Expensive also not neccessary is GOOD
Here's are some suggestions on some key players in the market:
1. Microsoft: Famous and its expensive in a way: try its X6 wireless series. But not every one like it as hardware is not their strength . OS instead
2. Logitech: Famous and also expensive witg quality but their gaming series some how not many and and NO new model release recently. Existing models seems kind of "too normal"
3. A4 Tech: Famous but price is very attractive with many special features that other don't have. Design also unique and have many range. But very ricj guy might not like them as they might perceive as "NOT expensive" enough
4. Razer: popular brand, but not many places availabe
very very very true.....but i would like to add something about a4tech....the x7 series is really good...but to now haven't heard of news regarding problems that may surface...but here's a thing...my friend got a tad lower series than the x7(donno whether its the x series or others) and he had returned to the manufacturer for more than twice now coz the mouse keep failing(sensor)...so i'm actually thinking....is a4tech really reliable? is it really long lasting???
for now microsoft eventhough sidewinder has been "dead" for quite sometime...but with the new Microsoft Sidewinder Mouse(not talking about x5 or x8 but the as mouse that i've stated) really looks good and for the features they offer, its kinda good(to think that they wan to go into the gaming peripheral market again)...

Agreed expensive not necessary good.
Choose mouse is like choose life patner,
u don't have to choose the objectively best;
choose the one that most suitable for u.
Need to try out the mouse urself and feel it and "discuss" ur choice with ur wallet.
All those brands are more of publicity and advertisement.
Such as Razor sponsored a number of gaming events last year.
So when you play games, u will associate with the advertisement branding.
Be smart and be analytical and not just to follow what some advertisement tell u.
I really support this....i'm a average gamer but now searching for a good gaming mouse...but i won't wan to have a mouse that doesn't suits me(ergonomics), i've been to a local pc shop in uk and tried palming the sidewinder, g5 and g9...so far the best are the sidewinder and g5.....there's another thing that we as consumers must have it mind is the money over product quality....are we paying what we get???...thats why if really wan to have a mouse that suits you and long lasting(by 2-3years, at least 2years), we must do our own research.....
what city life said was true...some brands like razer are monopolizing the gaming peripheral industry, thus they can pump up their prices without worrying losing of ppl buying coz their brand is popular...to me...eventhough the looks of razer mouse are very very tempting, but i've read and heard alot about the mice being faulty after 1 year of using(but depends on different level of usage).
