    Just wondering what everyones favourite mouse is if your a bit of a freak like me and decide what goes in the palm of your hand can only be the best. But then again the mouse is probably one of the most difficult and important hardware choices you could make.

    Atm I'm using a Logitech MX518 its not bad fits in the hand well but personally the best imo which shall always be the best is my old Microsoft intelli mouse v3.0 fitted into the hand perfectly and was an animal that served me well through many games of counter-strike.

    No doubt this subjects been discussed here before but just wanting other peoples views and see if anyone else is a intelli mouse v3.0 fan boy like me.

    I've got some cheap no-name brand wireless right now, and I LOVE the way it fits in my hand. It's a bit too light, though, and it has CRAP performance. Seriously, it goes through batteries in a week, as compared to maybe once per month on the Microsoft wireless downstairs with similar usage. And it's jumpy and inaccurate. In short, I hate everything about it, but it's shaped just right. I'm thinking I'll move to a Logitech G5 next. I need something more...reliable. And worst comes to worst, I just mod the G5 with a new grip.

    Logitech G5. The original one-side-button-not-a-weird-colour-ed one. And I absolutely love it - every aspect suits my tastes perfectly, feel weight, size, buttons, etc.

    the Logitech Revolution MX! :D
    I got it 60$ (~59.87$) Canadian AFTER Taxes... Ahhhh the power of price matching -10% of the difference.

    I used to have the MX 1000, I loved that mouse too. The Revolution MX is pretty much like the MX 1000, with some bugs fix to it, a bit lighter (just right), does not feel like a toy, finally glides better. And the wheel system is great. And and the extra buttons is perfect for any applications and gaming.
    I also use ubberOption, to unlock everything in SetPoint to have applications profiles and have access to features of other mouses.

    MX Revolution !

    Best $65 I ever spent. The only issue I have with it, is that it's still only 800dpi.

    Microsoft Optical Comfort Mouse 1000 at the moment, nice and basic, which is how I like my mice. After using a friends Logitech MX400 though, I have to say I would prefer to get one of those, but I don't really want to dish out for a new mouse when my current one is fine.

    I'm on an MX1000 atm, and I wouldn't change it for the world! It's so comfortable for my hand, the buttons are excellent, and the back/forward button is REALLY useful and in the perfect place. Even after about 3 years the batteries still last for at least 3 or 4 days hard use. I love it! :D
