What mouse to use?

I plan to buy a new mouse more suitable to GFX work, no gaming at all. It must allow very tiny and accurate cursor movement and I have been advised it be a laser sensor.
It doesn't need 22 buttons or add-able weights, flashing lights, or customizable size things. I have this one in mind.

What about a mouse pad? They seem to carry "Pro gamers'" ;abels and such but I don't see much use for them since optical mouses came about.

Gary, a gaming mouse is what your link is and probably what you need. With adjustable DPI you can really slow it down which enables pretty exact movements. The buttons can be programed too for other things besides games. Most come with software to program what the buttons do. This is the one I use. It is cheaper than the one you picked and DPI can be slowed to 200, which is pretty slow. It's cheaper too.

+1 for a G500. Its a very good mouse. I found it to be a tad high though as i have pretty small hands. I have arthritis in my wrist's and due to the hight of the G500 my wrist's were bent all the time causing some pain. If it wasn't for me having girly hands then it would have been a mouse i'd kept.
It was for those reason's i bought a RAT 5 Cyborg 5 Wired Gaming Mouse 5600dpi (Black): Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories as it was so adjustable which saved a lot of grief in my hands and wrist's. I know it has all the buttons you don't want but it's a very accurate mouse with a twin lazer i think. As with others you can set the dpi to whatever level you want and program any of the buttons for to siute your needs.

Hiyya Gary I know you are not keen on Gigas but this looks pretty good and for the pad mate those fine fabric ones I find excellent with the laser I have.

Gary, speaking of Gigabyte, I have this one. It is a good mouse and does well for me, but the DPI will not go down as low as the G500. But, it has served me well, how good it would be for what you need, I don't know.

Out of all the Roccat,Razor mats i've had i found the Corsair Vengeance MM200 to be the better one with my mouse. Corsair Vengeance® MM200 Gaming Mouse Mat Standard Edition - Gaming Mouse Mats - Gaming Peripherals It's nice and cheap too, cheapest i've owned infact.

Well thank you all for the useful input.

I will not buy anything labeled Gigabyte, I don't think, having a failed motherboard and mouse from them. The Ikari has been discontinued, Kelly, but looks like a fine mouse. I had the opportunity to see the steel series at Best Buy and it seem very nice and well made.

The consensus is to use some sort of mouse pad then?

Will update after I decide. Thanks again!

I use this mouse. With the trackball you have extreme precision. I do a lot of Gimp work with it.
