So I've been wanting to save up to get a Wacom tablet after my last one bit the dust, but they're just too expensive for me right now (although totally worth it). What I was thinking was, maybe instead of this el cheapo mouse I'm using now, I could get better performance out of a more precise mouse made for gaming, that would help with things like drawing and photo retouching. You know, better following the curves as I make them etc.
Is this a good idea? Are there any good gaming mice like this for less than, say, $40?
TigerDirect.com has some high-res gaming mice (8200 dpi) in this price range, which are on sale.

I find the Logitech M560 mouse adequate to the task of drawing (at least for GIMP). But the standards (and the reasons for them) might be different to what you need.
