Recommend me a mouse

[Dos_Box]

My laser mouse has just given up the ghost after 3 years of loyal service. It is a Medion gaming mouse I got from Aldi a few years back and has been fantastic until this morning when the bearings on the scroll wheel failed

What I need is a very good mouse with USB connection. Any recommendations?

 

 

P.S. It's amazing just how much you use a scroll whell without even realising, and boy, do you miss it when it's gone!

Personally I'm a Logitech G5 fan... it's what fits your hand best though - and budget?

I use a Logitech MX Revolution and can't fault it. Not the cheapest mouse in the world, but very configurable and easy to use.

 

I use it all day everyday and even have a second one to use with my laptop when I'm out and about.

I've got a Logitech wirless one that came bundled with my keyboard, but it steadfastly refuses to connect to the receiver, which is why I want a USB mouse.

In the non gaming mouse arena I have one of these and quite like it:

Cheap and simple... But does the job well

 

I also had the version with the two side buttons, but the scroll wheel stopped middle clicking then I let my it to my stepbrother borrow it for his laptop and he five finger discounted it when he moved out :shakes fist:

Recently purchased a Logitech Performance Mouse MX and it's been great . Gotta say that logitech mice are some of the best I've used.

They both are tried and tested, fully functional and do lots of magical things on screen hehe!!

@pscott:

 

Might look the part but can it fly or better still engage the kids?

I've had several of those....about 9 years ago! I want something a bit better (and up to date) than that I'm afraid.

i blagged a logitech rx 1000 (sounds like a car) because I do quite a lot of graphics work, its corded, but very accurate and comfortable plus is quite reasonably priced - think this was between £11-15.

[Butters]

Razer Death Adder if you game with the PC.

This looks suspiciously like an iron.

Vertical mouse, supposed to be much more comfortable
