Lachesis is finally dying. Mouse recommendations?

I purchased the Razer Lachesis i'm currently using when they first came out a few years back. it's been a great mouse, but it's started having issues that are affecting my gameplay (becomming twitchy, feels overly sensitive at times).

what i'd like to get is the Razer Mamba, but don't really feel like spending quite that much on a mouse. i could get another Lachesis, but like the feel of the shape of the Death Adder better, but it's a bit short on buttons. there's always the MX 518, but i've used this mouse at a friends in the past, and can't stand the way it feels under my hand.

i've also been eying the G9x. but haven't owned a Logitech mouse in forever. has anyone used the G9x? any thoughts on it? or on any other good gaming mice?

TIA :)

I've had a G9 for years now and I have to say that it has been one of my favorite mice to use. The button layout is nice and the weight customization is great, even if it is somewhat unnecessary. I also like being able to have unique profiles set up for each game/program and the ability to switch dpi at any time can be a life saver when sniping in fps'. Anyway that's just my two cents about the G9, I haven't had any experience with the other mice you listed.

Logitech G500. It's the G9x but bigger... unless you can't handle the size...

R.A.T.7 I know it looks odd, but I have had several Logitech gaming mouse, and this blows them away. Best mouse I have ever owned.

I love my Razer Naga. I believe that you can get them for $70 on Amazon now ($100 for the Mamba-like wireless edition). You'd probably benefit the most from MMOs with it, though the number/thumb pad has uses in any game that uses the number keys.
