So there you go, but you buy those Sennheisers if it makes you feel better :P It really is all about the brand :|
By the way, Sennheiser is good, but it is overpriced! Maybe microphones are a different deal, but at least on headphones they are overpriced.

What noise canceling headphones did you get for $40 btw? Active noise canceling? I have a pair of JVC active noise canceling headphones that I use on the train, and they're surprisingly good but were almost twice that. I'd be interested to compare, because I know a few people who really like these and wouldn't mind saving a few bucks if they're good. I do love my Sennheiser heady though. It's by far the best headphone+mic all-in-one unit i've encountered.
My G9: Being able to ramp up to 3200dpi and then down to 400dpi on the fly is a great feature. The claw-style grip of the G9 does allow for more fine tuned movements. The solid click wheel is extremely consistent (with the option to quickly change it to a free roll), and the body design is solid. The adjustable weights gives it the right heft for your style and the feet are not only extremely smooth by the most durable I have seen. Even the cord which is an ultraslick fiber braid glides with extremely low friction. The FW/Back buttons and programability + high poll rates gives some nice options.
I had an MX500 before this and it was good--reliable, high DPI, well built, and comfortable. But the G9 blows it away in every way. The MX500 was showing a lot of wear that my G9 isn't showing at a similar stage in life. The G9 also adapted to my preferences (it has MULTIPLE shells, multiple weights, customizable scroll wheel, programmable buttons, and OTF dpi adjustments) so instead of learning a new mouse I just set it to how I naturally use it and it became like a glove.
Sure, some people may just adapt really well. They might also not care when their plastic mouse cord catches once in a while (my G9 never catches whereas the MX500 cord, due to its material, was prone like normal mice to catch on stuff). The cheap stuff is really light (maybe a preference of some?) and cheap to replace. OTF dpi changes or high DPI may not be important to their style of play, nor maybe programmable buttons or claw style grips.
On the other hand I love the fact in Reach I had a ton of options on my mouse
Thumb: Back, Forward
Index: Left Mouse, dpi OTF
Middle: Scroll Up/Down/Button
Ring: Right Mouse
That is 7 buttons + dpi changes. All well placed and comfortable.
And all for $20.

I click once (left mouse button) and sometimes works as if i clicked twice, pain in the ass when playing :(
Guess i will be going Razer next! Seems like good mouses and look nice too :p

I'm looking at a Deathadder now too, or something from Logitech, but Logitech changed their naming scheme and I'm not sure what to look at.
What would the Deathadder equivalent from Logitech be, these days?
edit
Looks like the G400 could be a good alternative, and at ten dollars less.
Or the G500 for 10 dollars more than the Razer.
Oh wait, the G400 is only on Preorder :/ Looks like it's going to be the Deathadder
Surprisingly, the lowest end Razer mouse, the Abyssus, DOES have it. wtf. I'd get that one if it had 5 buttons...
Grift, or anyone, have you found a good "set and forget" dpi for the Deathadder, or have you had any issues in that department?
It does have a profile switch btw (five profiles) where you could adjust the DPI but it's not a convenient solution and it's on the bottom of the mouse.
Okay I'll try that. Sounds like you haven't had any problems.
It also two buttons on the left hand side, they work as great hot keys since you can press them with your thumb. Its also very ergonomic since it requires the full use of the right hand.
Highly recommend!

Bought it for $99, totally worth it!! But I wish they were lighter though, they constantly fall off my ear when I am running on the treadmill

That Sidewinder is competetively priced, but it only has one thumb button?
At least, that's how it looks on their website:
How is lazer vs. optical these days? (I notice the Sidewinder is lazer now)
