Yep, same here. Bought it three years ago and use it daily, still practically as new. Great mouse.
What mouse do you use?

Good choice, I'm glad you're happy with it too

Been searching for a new mouse the last two weeks myself, the G9 was still in good shape after 5 years but I wanted to try something new. I first bought a Deathadder but a) it turns out I can't live without a few more extra buttons, b) the software didn't let me assign certain key combos (despite using macros), c) the click of the buttons on the side is loud as §%!§ and d) after an hour of use something broke inside and rattled around.
Fortunately amazon.de had the Roccat Kone Pure Optical for 44€ which was my second choice so I've been using that since Monday.
So far I'm pleased, very precise, pleasant mousewheel (still prefer the G9's one but many others are too loud with too much resistance), good software, comfy shape. Could be a little wider but bigger mice are generally too long for my small hands which is why I liked the shape of the G9 so much (thought about the R.A.T.s but I wanted an optical sensor as a contrast). Not sure about the rubber surface though, it feels great now but also like it will wear off fast. And the lift off distance is noticeably higher compared to the DA.

Honestly?
It was on clearance at Walmart and I love Diablo, so I had to buy it. I've never had a mouse that was more than $20, so it was a huge step up for me. I'll probably end up getting something new within the next year, though.
That is the same way I got a sensei raw. The CoD Blops II branded version was dirt cheap on Amazon at one point, much cheaper than the standard one.
Looking at Amazon right now the diablo version $17.50 which is a steal. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005L38QK2/?tag=neogaf0e-20 At that price I think I might order a few spares.

Very comfortable mouse, but the scroll wheel is a bit bigger than I'd like. I've sorta gotten used to it but I'll probably get a Logitech G502 Proteus Core at some point.

My PC is orange-themed. Even the case is orange. :3
Been using this for 5+ years. Great mouse.
I've using the G9X for 3/4 years now, great mouse and well priced.

This is a great mouse, and I use it exclusively for work... but no middle click on the wheel is a deal breaker on most games. (all the middle click does is turn the 'clicky' scroll on and off.)
I bought a CM Storm Xornet a few months ago. It's dirt cheap but it feels like luxury.
I got the same mouse too; CM Storm Xornet, after being let down by Razer Imperator (never purchase Razer mice again).

Love this mouse so much, Say what you will about MS, they make (made?) some solid PC hardware.
This is the one I use on my main PC as well. It has been rock solid and works with my big hands.
I mostly play with controller but (to me) it works fine and i prefer it for work/browsing over a standard mouse.
I love my M570. This trackball is so comfortable. I cant imagine using anything else for normal browsing etc activities....also works very well for my htpc

Note that one of the most criticised aspects of the G502 is its scrollwheel. Too wobbly and not enough grip because it's 100% metal. Also when scrolling it randomly doesn't register a step. Seeing how many have complained about these issues it doesn't look like only a few units are affected and more like a general problem.

That shit looks cool as hell, I might see if I can pick one up soon.
How has your experience been with it?

Steelseries Xai. Elegant, sleek, fits my hand. Has easy adjustable DPI-settings. Great mouse!

Razer Naga. It just fits my weird claw grip just right. Keeping an eye out for deals on the Naga Hex, though.

Depending what I'm doing I use 2 mice.
For just general use(browsing and navigating windows), fps games and general games that are not MMO's I use the Roccat Kone XTD.
I also use a Razer Naga 2014 for general MMO games.
It was only recently I realised I could have 2 mice hooked up at once

At that price, I might have to order some backups as well lol.

I've got one of those for a year now and I really like it. It's comfortable, wireless (I love that) and works on my glass table. But I have a question for other MX Performance owners.
Is your mousewheel a little loose or maybe too sensitive?
I think mine is since 3 months after I bought it. Like sometimes it goes off on its own or moves more steps when I want it to move only one. For instance playing minecraft sometimes I want to select next toolbar item and the selector moves 3 or 4 steps more than I wanted.
To be clear, this is when the mousewheel is set in "step-by-step mode", not "free mode".

MX Performance mouse.
I don't think I could ever go back to wired mice after using them so for long.
Been through the intellimouse 3.0, ace edge 3200, g9 and g9x, deathadder 2013, and the performance mouse mx beats them all in comfort, it just fits perfectly in my hand, and doesn't have tacked on bullshit that I don't need.
Also works on most surfaces, it's just the perfect mouse for me and I laugh at those who says it isn't good for gaming.

Trackballs for work.
Taipan for play, which replaced a Diamondback that still works great but has rubber coming off of the buttons.
It's unfortunate that Razor stopped making the Diamondback.. that was a great mouse.

Still the best thumb buttons ever. I don't know why nobody else stacks the thumb buttons vertically instead of horizontally but it's a more natural arrangement in my opinion.

This low build quality, tangling cord poor tracking shell doesn't quite fit the internals properly so it rattles piece of logitech garbage
I have two Nagas and both of them have survived thousands of hours of mmo thrashing for 2+ years.......... no worse for wear......

Had a sensei raw but couldn't use it because it was too slippery and I couldn't keep myself from pressing the side buttons on the right side. It's just how I hold a mouse.

I have a Naga 2014 that I got at the end of last year. I really like it. Once you have those buttons for casting spells, special moves, etc, you can never go back. My only complaint is that it is VERY sensitive to vibrations. Whenever my speakers get particularly loud it derps pretty hard.

I had the original Naga for 3-4 years that I bought for MMOs than it started dying (left click double clicked everything, scroll wheel was fucked) so I replaced it with a RAT 5 or 7 from currys because I had a giftcard their..
The RAT was horrible, uncomfortable, scroll wheel was annoying, buttons in stupid places, didn't like the way it left clicked, looked really cool though.
So I returned the RAT and replaced it with the only other decent looking mouse they had, a Logitech G600:
It's great, super comfortable, the side buttons are much easier to use than the Naga's, but much cheaper. Decent software and even though it's white (they didn't have any blacks) it doesn't get dirty.
Would recommend it 9/10.
My secondary backup mouse was some shitty budget wireless mouse I used mainly for operating my computer from the sofa/bed, but yeah I never noticed any latency differences between it and my normal wired mouses either in fps or mmos.

Yeah the middle scroll wheel button setup was a very strange choice, i managed to adjust to the button being behind the wheel very quickly, but it was still a very weird design decision to have it like that.

I really like this mouse, it feels good in my hand and it is just simple. I used to have a Naga but the optical sensor broke, it would only track horizontal movement. I don't play MMO's much anymore, so I don't mind giving up the extra buttons, even though they were pretty nice to have.
Laptop:
Logitech M570
I mostly use my laptop while I am on the couch or somewhere similar where a standard mouse would be cumbersome to use. I actually really like it quite a bit.

I'm on mobile, so could someone post a pic of the Cooler Master Storm Recon?
I just got it two days ago, so my opinions are rather "fresh". I usually just play a bit of Team Fortress 2 every day or so until my laptop crashes, but it's been one hell of a mouse for the two times I've played. While the mouse itself feels rather large, it is very comfortable to use for long periods of time.
I've used it for about 7 hours straight in Illustrator, and the mouse wasn't uncomfortable throughout the time I was editing art. The mappable keys are nice and reachable, with an extra set for left-handed users. I'm really happy with this thing, and it only cost me $30.

steel series sensei mlg edition
it couldn't be more accurate, but it's an ambidextrous mouse so I may one day upgrade to something that's made to ergonomically fit a right hander such as myself
the logitech proteus core felt like fucking heaven to me in the stores that have it available to try
