Default Which gaming mouse is better

I'm looking for a gaming mouse that is under $40. I came across the Logitech MX518, Microsoft SideWinder X5, and RAZER Salmosa. Which one do you guys think better and why?

Dell : Razer USA RAZER DIAMONDBACK-SALAMANDER 1600DPI

$37.99

I would go with this one over those if it was me. I used to have a Diamondback and it is a great mouse. If you can toss in a little more, I would look at the DeathAdder.

Also, watch woot.com as they are known to put Diamondbacks up for $20-$25 pretty often.

either the mx 518 or the salmosa, from what i know reveiwers have been saying the salmosa is the best entry level gaming mouse out atm, and i love my lachsesis much more then my mx 1000. so i put a vote in for salmosa.

no idea i saw a review of it on xplay a few weeks ago. and g4 they said its the best introductory gaming mouse out on the market its all i really remember. id go for the diamond back none the less if you can find one, or the death adder. its worth splurging on.

It really comes down to personally preference.

Specs wise theyre pretty much the same...just depends on which you like more.

Some people love the G9...its ugly to me...doesnt mean its not a good mouse though.

True dat.

My friend's got the MX 518, that's a great mouse as well. I personally don't like the looks or shape of most Razer mouses, but it's mostly preference.
