    I don't have any recommendations on those two in particular, but I can tell you what I recommend to anyone choosing a mouse.

    If you like a sturdy feel in your hand, your going to want to get a Logitech or a Microsoft (cheap Logitech). If on the other hand you like things to be light, and more of a slick feeling then you want Razer or Saitek (cheap Razer).

    I'll be honest, Gigabyte isn't exactly a massive player in the peripheral market so I don't know how well that would perform, and the latter I've never heard of. That said though, I sort of know the few brands I like and never go looking so they could be good :p

    Roccat might be another good one to look at, I've heard nothing but good things about them, and they don't have the same level of brand name as some of the bigger boy's so you might be able to find them cheaper.

    There is an article on the bit tech about it. They chose a Razor deathadder which I have (£30). I also have a Microsoft Habu which was made with RAzor and that cost around £30 but its now available for £15-20 i think. They are both amazing mice. I prefer the deathadder slightly but not sure if its worth the extra value. I just got one as I have 2 PCs...

    I always wanted the Steel Series Ikari, but having never used it I can't personally vouch for it. Can heartily recommend the Logitech MX-518 if you can still find it.
