A Good Gaming Mouse?

So I've had a trusty old Logitech something-or-other for the past 4 years. It's small, simple (only has the regular right and left mouse buttons, and a wheel), and extremely sensitive, which I love.
It disappeared =(
I have no idea where it is, I've looked for days. So, I am looking into buying a new mouse. It must be very sensitive, I can't stand mouses that require me to move the mouse all the way across the mousepad just to click the next button on my actionbar.
I'm not sure exactly what I want aside from that...but it does need to be wireless.
What do you guys use? Any suggestions/ones you really like? Brands/things to avoid?
Thanks.

I personally own and use this mouse

I like it especially after I have programmed my power word shield and flash heal to the + and - buttons.

You can adjust the sensitivity on the software side of things to a certain degree you know. I've never heard of a mouse with that bad sensitivity :P
I've never had good experiences with wireless mice in general so I'll avoid comment further.
(Edit: The one linked above is one of the ones I've used :P)

Aye I've used the logitech one I linked, and a microsoft... opti mouse 4000, it has a side button and the regular buttons+ scroll wheel. I remapped the side for stealth (on my rogue) and the scroll up for... I think up was my sap and down was distract.
All in all a very nice set up.

I have roccat Kone and I recommend it. 3200 dpi sensor will be enough for you if you are planing to play in high sensitivity

Ok, I know I said it needed to be wireless, but I kind of like this one...how much does it retail for?

Wireless mouses aren't good for gaming. They've got lower polling frequencies and usually lower DPI. If you want sensitivity/accuracy, that's not very good. On larger screens it also means you'll probably be dependent on software acceleration for sensitivity and that kills accuracy. Not to mention interference or weak battery in mid combat is horrible.
I like my G9 personally. 9 buttons (includes the tilt wheel), 8 comfortably usable in games. 3200 DPI, 1000 Hz polling, etc etc. Really a wonderful mouse for RPG-style gaming like WoW.
Well, I had forgotten...I used to use it with my laptop, so I liked having it wireless. But I'm getting a new desktop soon, so wireless isn't necessary.
