Some hardware questions for my dear goons:

I’m trying to decide between these two gaming mice to use for CS:GO. My main priorities are accuracy and precision, and comfort. Additional buttons sound somewhat useful, but are not a necessity. I’m left-handed, which cuts out some of the common choices.
Steelseries Sensei Raw - http://www.amazon.com/SteelSeries-S...TBX86ZKCDHN6VPQ (I’m thinking of getting the rubber rather than glossy finish).
Or my second option is a Cooler Master Storm Recon - http://www.amazon.ca/Cooler-Master-...r/dp/B009JZ04BC

Supposedly the additional buttons are more effectively placed on the Cooler Master mouse. However, the optical sensor sounds like it might not be as good as the laser sensor on the Sensei. I’m not sure if that’s true or not, though. I do have a Cooler Master mechanical keyboard that I love, so I’m leaning a bit towards their mouse since I never heard of Steelseries before. Just from looks alone though the design on the Cooler Master doesn’t look as comfortable and ergonomic as the Sensei .
Which one seems like the better buy? I’d appreciate any tips, guys!

Thanks for the tips guys. Most of the Logitech gaming mice seems to be right hand designed from what I can tell, which is why I haven't been considering them. In general I might prefer an ambidextrous mouse or at least one with less of a curve, since I've never used a dedicated lefty mouse before I'm not used to it. With that said, many have been recommending the razor deathadder left handed. Any comments on that? I'll definitely try what I can in person, I just want to narrow down which stores I'll be going to.

The Mionix Avior 7000 has an ambidextrous design and the best optical sensor on the market (ADNS3310). It gets a pretty good rap.

You sold me on this baby. It's on sale at NCIX for $55 as well, looks great. Is a QCK (regular or +) still a good budget choice for a mousepad or should I go for the proprietary SQUAT approved mousepad sold by Mionix?

Great. Is the thick one (QCK+) neccesary or should i just go for large surface area?

e: The proprietary pad is actually cheaper than the QCK. http://www.ncix.com/detail/mionix-sargas-320-mouse-pad-8b-74660-1472.htm. What do you think is a better buy?

Also, I know this isn't the right thread, but I'm not sure where else to post this... does this seem like a good solution for voice chat in Counter Strike - http://www.modmic.com/? I already have a good pair of headphones that I want to attach that to. It's about $50. The alternative is a Zalman clip on mic for like $6 which apparantly is pretty crappy but maybe it'll do the trick for Counter Strike/mumble. http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?item_id=007166
