    I've been searching for a while and I really don't know what to look for. I don't use my mouse ver often, seeing as I have a tablet but every now and again I go on CSS or Gmod, so I'm not looking for a gaming mouse, just something that is comfortable and solid.
    Thanks

    Doesn't fulfil the "comfortbale" requirement and would be quite cold to hold.

    If you can stretch to a couple of quid more, get the Logitech MX518 (Play - £26.99).

    Comfortable, two side buttons which are fantastic for website navigation, three dpi settings you can change on the fly - without needing to install the SetPoint software. Pair this with an Everglide Titan mat for about £12 and you'll be sorted for a good few years of mousing joy :)

    I've heard many many good things about the Logitech MX518 mice. I had a little more to spend so I went with a different one but the MX518 seems super solid, and not too expensive.

    Nooo! Don't let the evil side of the force take you over, Luke! Go for Razer!

    The Mrs. bought herself a Logitech LX7, it's a great feel in the hand and a reasonable price too. Its just a good mouse without the added veneer of "gaming".

    It's awright, buy what you like best. It was just the razer fanboy in me speaking ;) There are many good mice by logitech. It's just they are more industrial while razer is rather simple and elegant. Personal taste :D

    I have the LX7 and the LX 710 keyboard, got them together for £25. Really love the mouse, it is comfortable even for my man sized hands, and I assume Lady Krikkit has girl hands so I would say it must be universally comfy.

    I use it for gaming, never been a fan of "gaming" mice so this is perfect for me. Also batteries last for ages in both the mouse and keyboard.

    well for £25 it is dificult, but a Logitech mx518 is a good choice, I should consider the IE 3.0 aswell as an alternative.
