    I have the mx revolution. Ive been using it for about 6 months now. Its a wireless mouse. But sometimes it skips and seems to be somewhat unreliable. Especially when multi-tabling. Im looking into getting a new one.

    Best Bluetooth Keyboard / Mouse / Media Pad out there. Worked PERFECTLY with Mac's also. Just turn on bluetooth on your mac and your good to go. Mouse fits perfectly in my hand, back and forward browser buttons right on the mouse next to you thumb, the keyboard is super slim and very slick. Works great. Highly Recommended. Configuring these devices in Windows was a pain compared to my Mac. cheers http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=1649

    I think this is the best by far. I also have the evolent vertical mouse, but the logitech is better.

    Use the same exact one, never had any problems either. I use it everyday, not sure if that is good as errrday though.

    I use the Logitech mx laser, which I really like. But, I have also installed AHK (sorry, don't have the link). I only use the script for basic operations like fold, call and all-in. This little goody means I don't use the mouse most of the time and I find it has helped a lot.

    Try a Logitech Game Pad. The absolute bomb. You can program it anyway you want and there are AHK scripts available for stars and FTP for use with the gamepad.

    FWIW try unplugging it from a USB hub and plugging it directly into your computer. I have a mx revolution I've noticed much less skipping after switching. Also make sure you're drivers are up-to-date.

    Razer Lachesis here.. It goes up to 4000 dpi, I don't know of a mouse that's higher. I think the logi gaming/laser mouse is something like 800 max or even less. If you have dual large monitors this thing's a beauty. Takes some getting used to on 4000 but it's bad ass once you're used to it.

    have that same piece of shit. Its not very precise imo. like when fast multitabling and i have to grap a screen by the size to minimize it, it seems not precise and skippy and i just dont like it. ive found mice with cords for a desktop are the shit. no changing of batteries at unoportune times and better control and precision

    ^^ This...had it for a year and only replaced the batteries like twice while using it every day. It's small-ish while fitting very nicely in your hand, and I've never had precision issues

    I use a microsoft sidewinder X8. It is by far the best mouse I have ever used. But I am not a hardcore gamer so before this mouse I was just using some old laser mouse.

    The DPI dickwaving contest that mouse manufacturers got into is really not a useful thing at all. It's just marketing hype to try and sell mice to pc gamers. I daresay 4000 DPI just means you'll need to install the drivers to lower it (or just lower your windows slider) because for most people playing for reasonable amounts of money, having a twitchy mouse is the last thing you want.

    A Microsoft 1.1a or any early Logitech mouse like a 510 is just fine.

    I personally have an Evoluent vertical mouse and a Microsoft 3.0 (the new edition) for games.

    Yeh logitech for me too. Small enough to fit inside your hand without over-streching your hand span.

    Btw for those peps having problems with carpal tunnel, what do you think about resting the mouse on a firm cushion instead of on a mouse pad on a hard desk? I've been doing this for a year now, it isn't as fast as on a pad but if you up the speed of the pointer, the speed and control issues are minimal imo and waaaaaaaaaay more comfortable. I never had a problem with aches and strains but adopted this method as a preventative and thus far have not had even the slightest problem.
