New mouse: recommendations?

I still use the Razer Copperhead. It has been going strong for 3+ years.

Ok, so I just got the left-handed death adder today. I have tried it out in CSS, but the lift-off distance is killing me. Every time I pick up my mouse to re-adjust it, it continues to track causing me to aim the opposite direction that I need to be going. Is there anyway to fix this, or is it just the mouse? My lachesis did not have this issue.

it's the mouse... i used to have the right handed deathadder. Never had a problem with liftoff, but I have read about problems with it.
Why are you picking up the mouse anyway? =P

Well, I figured out that I could fix the lift off issue by putting a piece of scotch tape over the sensor, but that kind of ruins the idea of a "precision gaming mouse". So I am going to return it through newegg. I guess I'll have to try a xai, I can always take it back too. If that fails, I'll just buy another lachesis, at least I know what to expect with it.

And I pick up my mouse because I play with a low sensitivity (625 dpi, 6/11 in windows, and 3.0 in-game with my lachesis) and I also play so that I never move my arm, just use my wrist to pick up the mouse to re-adjust it. Its probably weird to most people, but it works very well for me.
