My Logitech V500 mouse broke some days ago. Currently using a BT Mighty Mouse but it's utter pants for pixel art and gaming. So I'm after a mouse. The best mouse. I find it easy to spend a lot of money on a good mouse 'cuz you spend so much time holding the damn thing.

Been looking at the Logitech G7 or MX Revolution. Any opinions on those? What about Microsoft mice or out else?

I saw a laser mouse, not optical for RM36 (about $ at the local store. Specs looked pretty damn nice for something that cheap. But if you want a damn good mouse and have the money to afford it, the Razer mice are damn sweet: http://www.razerzone.com/

Or sometimes, a RM5 (about < $2) mousepad helps a lot. I used to have a fairly poor mouse, but the mousepad did the trick. Heck, probably would've gotten a lot more frags at last year's WCG if I brought that mousepad last year. Just get a simple, plain, cloth mousepad, none of the fancy synthetic fiber ones.

Razer look quite savvy. Ideally though I'd like to either skip laser mice (*too* precise) or get one like the G7 that supports on-the-fly resolution switching.
Really don't want a Bluetooth mouse either. They're just too laggy and power hungry.

I have the best mouse ever. It's really small and transparent with a blue LED and red laser pointer, so it glows up like purpley

IT's a swann opti-glow thing I think? I don't like those big industrious 10 button wireless mouse pieces of crap, they're all big n ugly. *nods*

Cheap and very accurate is a Trust laptop mouse. Mine has only one middle button, however, but it's accurate as hell which is a good advantage for pixel/other art.

When my logitech wireless thing spazzed out recently I pulled an old microsoft intellimouse explorer 1.0 (or 1.1, I'm not sure) out of the drawer. Four buttons plus clickable scroll, optical, wired. Nice and big and chunky; fits my hand perfectly. Probably one of the best I've used and I'm sure they're cheap as shit now. No idea what the newer ones are like.

Well it was a toss up between the G7 (can't be doing with wires) and the MX Revolution.
G7 has DPI switching, custom batteries with charger.
MX Revolution looks comfier. More buttons.

So I thought bugger it and ordered the VX Revolution. Can't be much wrong with it.

edit: We still use an Intellimouse 1.0 for the desktop in the study. Really solid mouse, after god knows how many years it's starting to piss up on the left click.

lol, that thumb extension thing is weird.

My mouse is tiny and fits perfectly in my fingers. Allows for quick and easy movement, better control, and less chance of RSI (I think).

OOPS. Changed my mind! Ordered a Microsoft Habu too. Microsoft have made some killer mice over the years so I don't feel as bad getting this one. 7 buttons, 2000dpi (alterable) and some other nifty things. It's wired but I figured I can now use my BT Mighty Mouse on my powerbook, and one wire can't hurt. so it's all good. I hope.

If u want to do art, you should order a graphical tablet, its the only thing i use while working. If u don't care for quality there are some less costly ones...

Hey, I love wired mice, about a third of the price and more accurate. Microsoft mice are good but a bit costlier than the rest.

Tablets are great for single screen systems (so long as you have a tablet in the aspect ratio of your monitor like). I use dual widescreens, so my 4:3 tablet absolutely cries.
Yea I think I like wired mice now. It's excellent for games. Only problem is the damn wire keeps getting in the way! Still, nothings perfect. But it is damn comfy.
