I had a Steelseries WOW-edition mouse for a while. Lasted around seven months before it become unusable -- no idea why. As far as build quality, seemed very nice, but I replaced with a Razer Boomslang 2007 and have been using that ever since.

You may love Steelseries, but personally, Logitech, Coolermaster, and Razer all make higher-grade gaming gear. Just my 2c.

Totally agree with 204 on this one. I personally have a Razer Mamba and absoutly love it!
Whoever says that gaming mice can be wireless doesnt know what they are talking about!

The idea behind wireless gaming mice is that while cords cannot be damaged or tangled, they can die in the middle of gaming sessions/tournies, can be messed up by certain-frequency stuff (microwaves, wireless phones, etc.), and can have a slightly longer delay (but not usual/common) than their wired counterparts. I would actually move to a wireless keyboard/mouse set up if my current set up ever broke, though

And I would recommend the Razer Naga, Logitech G500, or (if you must) the Steelseries WoW Mouse (for non-fps) and the Ikari (for FPS).
