Recently there are two kinds of games which are very hard on the mouse performance: the first are those games like STARCRAFT, WARCRAFT, and DIABLO and so on; the second are those first person shooting games like COUNTER-STRIKE and QUAKE 3. In the pop STARCRAFT, WARCRAFT, and DIABLO games, both your mouse left and right buttons are clicked quite frequently, especially the left button, sometimes you need to click it several times within a second.
Furthermore, you need to continually move the mouse. For these plays, you should buy a mouse both its left and right buttons with good sensibility, and in order to ensure your mouse the fast moving and accurately positioning capability, getting an optical mouse is cost-efficient. To choose an optical mouse, usually you don't need to clean its inner part as you do for a normal scroll roller mouse, and it will avoid some ineffective mouse problems due to a mechanical failure caused by the long-term rolling.
Moreover a "laser" mouse commonly can be up to 600 dpi or even higher, which makes you feel comfy in any RTS (Real Time Strategy) games. As to the FPS (First Person Shooting) games such as COUNTER-STRIKE and QUAKE 3, they highly depend on the precision and the sensibility of a mouse. Besides, frequently you need to drag the mouse quickly in a very short time in these plays, so I recommend a scroll roller mouse. When the mouse is moving acutely, an optical mouse may be ineffective, which obvious symptom is that the cursor freezes on screen leading to errors in a game.
Tactile feedback A good gaming mouse should have a nice hand feel at the same time. A favorable tactile feedback is the key in the game playing, and it is capable of increasing your working efficiency. People's different palm sizes require different mouse shapes, and the mouse designs, the button elasticity as well as the mouse entire weight also would affect your hand feel. Best gaming mouse Based on the characteristics of ergonomics, precision, customization options and buttons and so on of a mouse, Logitech G9, Microsoft SideWinder, Logitech G5 Second Edition, Razer DeathAdder, Ideazon Reaper Edge and Razer Lachesis will be the best choices among so many brands and models.
Most of these devices have a street price around $40-$80, though it is a little more expensive than other pointing devices, you are looking for the best gaming mouse, not the best deal.

Below are TOP 3 Mouse that used by gamers :
Microsoft SideWinder Gaming Mouse
Review #1
This mouse has a great balance between a really good gaming mouse and a price point that is not ridiculous. The 3 DPI settings are easily switched on the fly. The vertical thumb buttons are very well placed and have a good feel. The mouse is a good size for us large-handed people and has enough weights to make it comfortable for all. The only thing I would change for comfort would be to offset the wheel to the forward and to the left 1/8". It seems slightly un-natural but I am now use to it.
Logitech MX 518 High Performance Optical Gaming Mouse (Metal)
Review #1
I like this mouse a lot. With the right mouse pad (a Microthin Wow!Pad from Office Depot), this mouse glides beautifully, never seen one better. The main buttons are easy to push (only Microsoft does this right also). The forward and back side buttons are a little small but work fine. The scroll wheel is not as nice as the MS Intellimouse 4 as it still clicks and is harder to roll. Never used the tilt wheel on the MS mouse. It is gaming where this mouse shines. The mouse tracks no matter how fast I move the mouse.
The mouse never sleeps so it always responds perfectly. Frankly, I have not yet found any use that I needed to change the mouse resolution (i.e. speed) but in trials that is easy to do.
Feel is good, middle to small sized so fits most of my family. Cord is thin and a little stiff so it does not always lay completely flat (I have not found on that did). Very lightweight. Contoured nicely to fit the cupped hand.
Worked with Win XP as soon as I plugged it in, drivers and program loaded with no hassle.
Nice job, Logitech!
Razer Mamba Wireless Gaming Laser Mouse 5600 DPI
Review
Pros: This mouse does everything that I've read in all the reviews including the slight jittering of the mouse. However that is easily fixed by removing the silver/embossed ring around the sensor that reads 5600 dpi sensor, etc. A quick e-mail to the support at Razer will net you a teflon ring to place into the ring (the mouse however will work fine with nothing there). I have always preferred wired mice being a very competitive gamer, I would never have chanced my batteries going out on me at a key time in game play. However this mouse allows you to have the best in both wired and wireless gameplay.
Cons: I wish it weren't so expensive, but you can't always have it your way. I'm a little leery of having the Razer software update the onboard mouse memory, Synapse, every time I open it to make a change; but that is a fairly minor problem as long as it works.
At the writing of this review, a firmware update is available from the Razer website that solves the problems that many have been experiencing with the battery not charging to full capacity. I can confirm that this update solves the problem. Thumbs up to Razer.
