    I prefer the Logitech G9 (or the refreshed G9x), although you might find the MX518 to be adequate as well. What is a lighting mouse?

    The G9 might fit better with the small grip...the MX518 is a larger mouse, would not touch it haha!

    But yeah, give the G9 a look, with the smaller grip its definitely bigger than a laptop mouse, but about the same size of a standard mouse.

    Thanks guys,

    Is it similar to Alienware Tactx mouse?

    lighting mouse means a mouse that has lights when room light is off.

    I'd go with the Razer Orochi. It's small, perfect for laptops. It also can be connect wired or wireless.

    The Razer Orochi is a fantastic notebook mouse though for extended use it can be kind of small.

    The SteelSeries Xai is the best gaming mouse I have used to date. It is the size of an average desktop mouse, not as big as the Lachesis. It does not have any fancy lights though.

    Maybe go to Best Buy and make a note of which mice fit your hand right, then go look up gaming mice with similar dimensions.
