Remak:
I like logitech as a brand. (Based on previous experience with them. I have never had anything bad or annoying with everything I bought)  :laugh:

Edit: ok to fill some more info, i've been using 10$ and below mices and the regular problems are breakdown of the buttons and the tracker isn't tracking well, small movements couldn't be detected and sometimes the cursor jumps. haven't picked up a mice worth more than 40$.
but i did got one experience on a RAZER abyssus and it picked up the small movements i usually make, though since you guys are against RAZER, any other options?

closest thing i can see to the mx510/518/g5 mice i have used and am currently using.
If it is built similar to them which i suspect it likely is then as long as your not retarded it should last a while. Being it is a optical try not to drop it to much or you might fuck up the prisms and shit.
i usually get 2 yrs + out of my logitechs, 2 the cord died(1 mx510 1 mx518) 1 had a button started sticking got me angry one day in a match and it got smashed and 1 im using currently (g5) had it for at least 2 years now
o wait i killed 2 mx510s and 1 mx518 1 g5
i have since i ruined my mx518 with the cord repositioned my desk the cord used to get caught and tugged on CONSTANTLY which is why it was never a shock when they died after a year or 2 of abuse

kitamesume:
^ if the cords and buttons that usually fails i could usually replace them, but if the tracker is an epic fail then i can't do much about it~
taking a look at it, and seeing if its available on my area.

the main issue i've been annoyed with mices most of the time is that they fail to track my small movements, sometimes jumps when it succeeds to track it which is annoying, specifically annoying when aiming for a headshot that looks like a dot from my screen XD.
other issues like failure of the buttons is pretty much just a hassle, though i still don't like it happening, at least it should last a year before annoying me.

well if this helps, my habits:
spamming the left click instead of holding it when using an auto-rifle, saves me alot more ammo than holding the left click.
small tracking to the point of pixel by pixel, well not really that fine tracking but you get the point.
loves to right click files.
dang loves to use MPC's slider to scroll by seconds, wish i could do it by frame.
usually the wheel gets worn out on me, i dunno why, heh.
i rarely lift my mouse, well because usually i set the sensitivity to max.

NaRu:
I have the Logitech G510 keyboard (for over a year now) and the Logitech G700 mouse (for over a year now). Both still works as well as brand new. They weren't cheap though. I never did like going cheap on hardware that you use every day.

kitamesume:
ok i've looked up some of the shops i usually buy from, the issue is most of their products is either A4tech or razer, hardly any reputable logitech though theres the ones more than 50$ like the G9X and G500... too expensive as of my current budget.

to note: the A4tech Oscar XL-750BK seems to have caught my eye, being less than 30$ seems a big catch, any experience on it? looking up google for reviews atm.
update: no comments about breakdowns so far, good tracking ability too and two buttons are programmable.
ok... one comment convinced me that this one is well over worth it for the price, durability unknown. though i'll need 2 weeks to get the extra 5$ XD all i have is 25$ atm haha.
note: well to explain about my budget, i only get 15$ allowance a week though i only have a schedule of twice a week =P but usually use up 12$ for food and transport, leaving me with 3$ more or less behind. poor me aren't i?



Edit: since i've hijacked this thread a little too much, might as well give a comment about the real topic.
the G13 looks nicer specs wise, plus it looks much more comfortable. looking at the reviews loitering around google it seems like it's performance is top notch though new users seems to have a hard time following the manual, specially the programming part. haven't seen a complain about it breaking down, and thats usually a pros.
Edit2: another thing, seems like the G13's keypad is heavily biased on the WASD keys.

Edit3: i started looking up razer's, looks like its even more heavily biased on the WASD keys, plus it seems to have more complains than the G13 about comfort and key positioning. haven't seen any comments outside of these.
