"My opinion is that the things one makes constant daily contact with, such as a keyboard, mouse, etc.should be right and no expense should be spared in acquiring the best one can afford." -From somewhere on the interwebs-

i would like to add that the balance between confort and cost is a very individual thing.

As far as I'm concerned there is only one manufacturer.

Logitech.

All the others are cr*p, but that is my personal opinion, not a rule.

Which model is very personal.
I recommend going to a shop that has them all on display for you to try.
After you made a choice, go home and find it cheaper on the net,

Hehe, i see.
The one i got now is actually a logitech, it came bundlet in a set called
Logitech Cordless Desktop 1500. i love the mouse and keyboard
but i seem to have worn out the left-click button so it slips when holding down.
so after i buy a new one i will most likly try to fix it and have it as a
backup in case something horrible happens :shock:

I favor Logitech also. I use a trackball at home and the work systems have an optical mouse. Both are acceptable.

If you're doing a lot of gaming and design, you might want to look into a trackball - less arm movement.

 

[Barman58]

If gaming is important - wired mice were always preferred to eliminate any trace of lag from wireless - not sure of current status of this

Trackballs are great for gaming, until you try FPS - they just don't hack it when it comes to FPS, IMO. That being said, though, I still enjoy the hell out of using one just to mess with people's minds....

Logitech MX revolution FTW

Amen. +35 gazillion

I personally use the MX as my primary mouse, and also have installed a Logitech Optical Tackman Wheel for those times when my MX desperately needs a charge - an I still need my fix of the Internet....

That new Darkfield mice look interesting as well....

Hmm, I use the Microsoft Wireless Arc Mouse and it pretty good.

Folds up, takes a beating from kittens knocking it off the desk, 3 year warranty, gets a decent 2 months on 2 aaa batteries (never turning it off)

If it DOES break like my first one did Microsoft will send you one for free, brand new one, both the mouse and the dongle. They even ask what color you want because they don't care which you choose.

Heh, I am still surprised they don't request the broken mouse to be sent to them first.

EDIT: Half awake so sorry for the sloppy all over the place post.

Logitech G5

 

[loquacious]

Well although I think logitech is great and do own an MX Revolution I use my Razer Mamba for games and it is brilliant

 

[johngalt]

But for someone who is going to

... use my computer for a bit of gaming and Graphic design.

I do not see the need for focusing on a gaming mouse so much as a functional mouse.

Granted the gaming mice can be set up to have some of the advanced functions of the regular mice - but where are you going to get a auto-changing hyper scroll, integrated search, even a thumb wheel pre-set for Tab-Flip?

TBH, it is the same reason I am not buying a gaming mouse myself - I am more productive than I am a gamer on this machine.

the Razer Mamba mouse looks very cool, and +1 for the usability with and without the cable plugged in.
Though, a bit steep in prize and though i have been drooling a bit on the Logitech MX revolution.

Concerning the Logitech G5, I've tried it before with my nephew and found it really nice, with the weights and
the reaction time. but i'm looking for a cordless mouse for my desktop.

Though, still time to change my mind yet. I'm real happy with the feedback i've had so far on this post, since im looking at
throwing a bit of money at this new device im welcoming more hints and tips. thankyou all.

Well, another tip.

Make sure you chose a energy efficient or rechargeable model, because a wireless mouse can easily become a pain in the *ss, when you have to change batteries every two weeks.

[nate42nd]

Wireless Laser Mouse 5000 is a fine choice.

 

[Dogz]

Logitech EX 100.

Indeed.
Logitech is the way to go

I agree with the others, Logitech is the way to go and the G7 is one great mouse. No one is taking away my MX518 though, I love this thing. I even have a brand new one in the closet for when it dies -knock on wood
