Re: My mouse is dying...

if you don't mind spending £35 (or therabouts), the logitech mx1000 is about as good as you'll get...

the others in the mx series are cheaper, and not bad at all.

Re: My mouse is dying...

How about one of the new laser mice? They have good resolution / refresh rates but the down side - a tad expensive at the moment.

Re: My mouse is dying...

Been using this mouse for 4 years and have no intentions of changing!

Optical, page forward and back buttons, fits in either hand, very fast scroll wheel, it's got everything I need.

The MX1000 is a laser mouse. I have one and it is brilliant! Got it when they first came out too.

Re: My mouse is dying...

Frankly I too would like to know what is the ULTIMATE mouse as I seem to have 'killed' about a dozen of the perishers in the last 5 years.I've tried phaser roller balls ones(when I had tennis elbow),optical,wireless,wheelie ones as well as several bog standard ones.At present I'm on a Gembird 3D opitical(in a tasteful transparent blue plastic so I can see the red LED light)..However this is just about 10 weeks old so it is too soon to tell if this is THE ONE...

So yeah bring it on, what is the very,very best mouse?

Re: My mouse is dying...

I hate to say it but the best mouse and keyboards I have ever used have come from Microsoft.
They are reliable, quick and very nice to use.
I have this mouse at the moment:
http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mo...s.aspx?pid=004

And have no intention of changing!
