What kind of mouse do you use?
What kind of mouse do you use with your desktop and notebook?
I have gone through so many while looking for the perfect balance of weight/comfort/features. After using so many different types of wired, wireless, bluetooth/rf, laser/infared, trackball, I realized there is only one mouse that really has everything I like.
Logitech Performance Mouse MX. This is the new flagship mouse that took the Revolution MX's place. It's beautiful, comfortable, the perfect weight and balance, and it works on ANY surface - including glass. The scroll wheel has the option to dislodge it from its gear and let it spin freely. This allows you to scroll with many pages with one little flick. It's now on sale too, so it's finally under $100.
Does anyone else have a particular mouse that they swear by?GorillaServers Inc | Direct Unmetered Dedicated Servers

I use a Logitech G5, it's been with me for over a year now, and it's taken a lot of abuse; from falling off the desk to constantly moving around with my computer whenever I travel. It's been a great sport and I couldn't have asked for any more.
The fact that it's USB is just a no brainer, if you're going to buy a performance mouse, make sure it's wired so you don't eat through batteries or worry about RF range. The adjustable DPI on the mouse and the weight cartridges are awesome too.

That's a nice one as well, and especially for gaming. I've used it in the past. I have several wired performance mice, but for everyday work use at my desk I HATE using a wired mouse. Battery life and range aren't an issue anymore. These are rechargable and hold a charge for 3-4 days. Also, comes with a wall charger and a usb wired charger so the mouse becomes wired while it's charging and in use. You get the best of both worlds.
For overall ultimate DPI and sensitivity wired usually can't be beat, but now wireless mice can do 5600 DPI.
The MX has every feature I could ever want. Finally happy with my mouseGorillaServers Inc | Direct Unmetered Dedicated Servers

A ball mouse would pick up that dirt though. Dust and dirt gets up in the ball's chamber and eventually makes it stick and clogs everything up. The only ball-based option that I think is acceptable is a trackball setup. Some people swear by them, but I'm not nearly as fast with them as I am with a normal mouse.
What type of laser mouse do you use? I love the darkfield laser on these new MX. Really sweet, works on any surface.GorillaServers Inc | Direct Unmetered Dedicated Servers

The best mouse(s) I have ever used are Razer mouses. They are EXPENSIVE... I LOVED my Razer Naga it was beautiful, but it costed $70.00.. I sent it back, and got a refund..
Now I use a Logitech cheapo cordless mouse.. I still say Razer mouses are top-of-the-line.

I ditched my mouse a couple of months ago. I'm using an apple magic trackpad now. I don't think I will ever go back.

Logitech G9 Mouse (it comes with weights so you adjust it, and a slip on thumb rest). It's next to the Logitech G15 Keyboard I use. When I do my next upgrade I'm getting a better gaming mouse and newer keyboard. I do love the adjustable dpi "on the fly" as it were.

Logitech Bluetooth MX Revolution Laser Mouse (part of the Logitech Cordless Desktop MX 5500 Revolution combo), which is essentially the Bluetooth version of the Logitech Performance Mouse MX, and HP Chocolate Wireless Laser Mini Mouse.

I used a Wacom Grahpire 2 mouse for almost 10 years and it would "skip" pixels at the high resolutions of the current day and I ended up replacing it with a Logitech MX518 mouse that lasted a bit over a year. I'm now using a CM Storm Inferno and I'm happy with it so far.
I don't use a mouse on my laptop.
