Title: CM Storm Spawn for $13.99 after rebate

This is definitely the best mouse you can get at this price if the shape is right for you. It uses the same sensor found in more expensive mice.

I really hate mail in rebates  ::)


Otherwise I would totally pick one up in a second (even though I'm quite taken with the Zowie stuff)

been using this mouse for a few months, its not bad at all, just a bit small. I think I paid ~$25 for mine.

Just my two cents, but I would personally recommend against this mouse. It takes a LOT of getting used to the shape, and I found the "ring finger" rest area to be awkward instead of ergonomic. The clicking also feels...sloppy to me. It's not well defined like in every other mouse I've used - I found myself clicking when I didn't want to a LOT. Got mine for $25 and honestly still didn't think it was worth it.

I'm with jwaz - after going through several mice I laid my hands on a Zowie FK and will likely never switch again.
