Recommend me a mouse

Recommmend me a mouse for my laptop that's good for gaming and of sturdy construction.

I bought this mouse from Microsoft last year, and about four months ago I began having trouble with the left-click. It makes it very frustrating to play games (no matter what gun you use, they always seem to jam!) and just using my laptop in general.

I'm looking for a mouse that can stand up to heavy use as far as the left click goes, one that'll moves pretty well with little friction, has a scroll wheel and a button on the side (for your thumb).

Also, if you have any recommendations for headsets, preferably one with two headphones, that'd be great.

I'm a big fan of the Logitech G5 as far as gaming mice go. It's tough, has a scroll wheel, and has two thumb buttons.

For headsets, I like the SteelSeries 5Hv2. It has decent sound and two headphone cups, but also can detach into three separate pieces for transport. The microphone slides up into the left headphone cup when not in use, so you don't have to have it in your way all the time.

Another thumbs up for the Logitech G5. It has a funky system where you can add little weights to the mouse to customize the feel. It's the only gimmicky thing I've ever seen that actually works exactly as advertised.
