I got this last year, it's pretty amazing. http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-mice/razer-lachesis/
Aiming accuracy is stunning, it's very responsive and all that. Mouse wheel is great, you can clearly feel a click between positions when scrolling, so it's great for switching weapons cos you won't accidentally skip one weapon, if you know what I mean. Fingers will never slide from left and right buttons because of the way mouse is shaped. The only negative thing would be additional buttons on the right side, they are kinda hard to press. So if you are addicted to tons of buttons it could be an issue for you. Again, I bought it for aiming in FPS games and it does the job almost too well 
Oh yeah, it also has onboard memory, mouse settings are always saved inside so if you format PC, or take your mouse to LAN party or whatever, you will always have your precise settings.

I've got the G9, which is really awesome. As a matter of fact, I've got two.

Indeed it is.
BTW, any mouse that doesn't offer freescroll is not a mouse worth having. Once you use that for a while, going to scroll-click-scroll-click will not be an option.

I've been using Razer Diamondback exclusively for the past 7 years. There is no better mouse for me. It's fast, responsive, just the right size (good grip) and smooth performance.
I also think fisk should be unbanned.

You know, with the red or blue light used by mice to track motion. I hate these, especially when someone tries to be cute and flashes in your eyes. Also at pitch black night, I find them very annoying.
Infrared FTW!

It's all about personal preference anyway
For me, Logitech's 5 series are the most comfortable, because I rest my hand on the mouse and I've got fairly large hands. Went from Dual Optical, to MX500, MX510, G5 and now G500..notice a pattern?
Razer's mice just feel too tiny for me, Steel's Ikari had a decent shape but is a shit mouse besides that. Haven't been able to try the Roccat mice or Steel's Xai yet, but I'll stick with my Logitech anyway :>

Ye, I can use Google too, thank you very much 
I posted before searching. Seems like they are back to the G5/G7 shape. Shame, cause the G9/G9x shape, while it looks very strange, is more comfortable for me. Maybe we'll see a G900 come out just in time my G9 decides to break.

Logitech did sell a mouse that had a forward and back button on it on the top - it seemed quite odd but it became useful to me when I didn't feel like grasping the entire thing to my browser in the right spot...
Oh look I'm re-iterating what I said in my first post - must be a sign I liked it...

I wouldn't call the G9 a successor to the G5, more of a side branch than a successor. MX5xx/G5/G500 have nearly identical shapes, G9/G9x is quite a lot shorter, like 12-14mm easily.
The G500's dual mode scroll wheel is awesome, I honestly expected it to be clunky or annoying, but I'm absolutely loving it
It's definitely a feature they should keep. Also moving one of the buttons on the top to the side was a smart move; I've set that button to be Mouse3 (pressing scroll wheel) so it's useable in all games without having to press the scrollwheel, which I always found awkward

Ye, G9 has the freescroll as well, and it is a deal breaker from now on for me. I just find scrolling by tick-tick-tick so annoying and impractical!
I used the third button on the G7 as my middle-click because it was so hard to press, but on the G9 it's so easy.

, not very expensive and not much wow factor but I'm not made of gold and didn't work full time when I got it but its lasted a really long time and the mouse buttons aren't badly placed, for me at least, the forward-most button on the left side of the mouse can be a bit annoying to get to while playing an FPS so I tend to only use that for using the mic, the other left button for melee or something.
