Gaming mouse recommendations? SteelSeries?

Hi, so I'm wondering about getting a new mouse to replace my legit $4 dell mouse. Reason being is the left and right click are starting to wear down as I have been using it for about two years and the scroll wheel is almost useless and unreliable (I hotkey but use scroll for slots I cant reach). I am used to the Ambidextrous grip so don't know how I would cope with buying an ergonomic mouse or rather how long it would take me to be accustomed to. For this reason I really like the look of the SteelSeries mice in their simplicity and the fact they have buttons on the side, I could use these for F5 and Optifine Zoom. But I was wondering how high/low the click pressure and click distance are for the right and left click. i.e. Can you click pretty fast with it. I know that the likes of the Razer Deathadder has a very low click pressure/distance and is described as being like a "hair-trigger" but I wonder if this would mean it could be too light? By the sounds of it, the deathadders right and left click could be accidentally pressed if I breathed on the button.

For $60 there is the Razer Deathadder. Its sounds cliche but it's actually a really good mouse. I have it and so do a lot of other people.

If you're playing Minecraft, the Steelseries Rival or Razer Deathadder are probably your best choices.

Razer Naga, Corsair M95, or SteelSeries Sensei.
The reason I recommend the Naga and M95 is because of the fact that they have hot-keys (buttons that you can program to press something on your keyboard - ex. one button on your mouse can be programmed to press '1' and would switch to your first slot in Minecraft) and are very useful. The Razer Naga is basically a Deathadder with hotkeys (and no, if you breathe on your mouse it doesn't click - trust me, I tried). If you are looking for Steelseries only I would recommend the Sensei as it is one of my favorites I have used from Steelseries and is really nice to click.

I currently use the Razer Naga gaming mouse and I have to say that it's pretty damn good. There are 12 keys on the side to switch from slot to slot in you hot bar, the scrolling wheel is smooth and accurate and there are 2 additional button's above the 12 standard ones, one I use to f5, the other one for f3.

I use the Razer Naga 2014, I have my 12th button to F5 and 10,11, and the two top buttons to type my moderator duties that I often say. :D

I got the Razer Naga thinking I'd be able to use the 12 side buttons, but found it hard to get used to... So, I suggest the Razer Deathadder because it is nearly the same thing as the Naga, without the buttons on the side, which are fairly unnecessary for PvP, in my opinion.
