Need help in deciding because they're all basically the same price.
I personally am leaning more towards logitech, what do you think?
 
I would go with Steelseries.
 
Don't listen to them (or anyone else - except me! :D). Buy the one that feels best in YOUR hand.

HIDs (human interface devices - mice and keyboards most commonly) are extensions of our own hands. What feels great in my hand may feel awkward or even painful in yours. In fact, if not comfortable, an ill-fitting mouse (or keyboard) can even cause permanent damage :eek: :( due to RSI.

We can certainly comment on build quality, battery life (if applicable), features and reliability. But ultimately, it must be your decision based on how the device feels to you.

A common problem these days. Even if you hand a decent store, the display models have typically been abused. Fortunately, between Best Buy, Office Depot/OfficeMax and Nebraska Furniture Mart where I live, there typically is at least a similar model from the same maker I can try to at least feel how the size and shape feel in my hand.

My problem is I am right handed but use my mouse in my left hand. And I don't like contoured mice.

I would make sure wherever you get it from has a decent return policy. Good luck.

LOL Lefties have had to learn to use right-handed things all their life. My dad was left handed and one year, I bought him a pair of left handed scissors (I didn't even realize there were such things, or that they were different). He was so used to right-handed scissors, he couldn't use the left-handed ones. LOL

My problem was I developed carpel tunnel syndrome in my right hand. So to ease the pain, I moved my mouse to the left. I soon discovered I was actually more productive this way because the number pad of my keyboard is on the right. So I could move the mouse with my left while using the number pad with my right.

Today, my carpel is not a problem but I still keep the mouse on the left side.

I just cannot use a mouse with my left hand, feels weird, and the buttons are the wrong way around.
 
When you are in doubt, use female logic (no offense to you women :D): whichever looks better with your PC.
 
I have a G102 for 2 years now, no issues with it its a great mouse. I bought it for for playing/browsing on uneven surfaces (bed/couch) as my G502 needs a completely flat surface. I now use it as my daily mouse, even at my desk, and only use the G502 for Dota, and first person shooters. Only downside is that the cable isnt braided.

How is that a downside? Braided does not automatically mean better. A much better indication of quality is how the cable is terminated on each end. That is, the quality of the cable's connector and quality of how the connector was attached to the cable. And on the other end, the quality of the connections inside the mouse. That is, are there quality "mechanical" connections (essential for quality "electrical" connections) and are there quality solder connections? Of course, these are things we typically cannot see.

Braided often means more flexibility in the wire, but not always. And there are many wires that are not braided but still very flexible. Many users complain that braided wires catch, snag and fray on things - like the crisp edge of a mouse pad while rubberized cables do not.

Most however, agree braided wires have better aesthetics, but aesthetics does not relate to the quality of the conductor - and conducting the electrical signals from the mouse to the computer is what the cable is really all about.

I agree, what i should have said was that I personally prefer braided cables.
 
Braided cables just make the mouse look better quality.
 
To me, they just make the cables look better - not better "quality".

But as Mac2580 noted, that is a matter of personal preference.

Well no one is going to make a 5 buck mouse with a braided cable, so given the extra cost is why I said makes it look better quality. Personally I prefer it, rubber or plastic cables seem to snag and taffle more. But it is personal pref for mouse in the end.
