there was a mouse made by logitech that i wanted to try, a gaming mouse that you can press a button and it would zoom in whatever game, and also slow mouse movement.

i like logitech and MS mice (older ms mice). next time i get a mouse, its going to be that logitech mx1000 laser mouse.

the mouse i use, is a microsoft intellithing-or-another ... wireless version 2, its supposed to be the "really good" one, i have so many problems with the wireless reception its pissing me off, however a few of my friends have the same one and they dont have a problem with it

however, if i were you, i would get something with a rechargable battery so you dont have to worry about replacing batteries, actually logitech makes some very nice mouses, and very very fast refresh rate or w/e, so they will definately be good for games, you dont really have to settle for the mx1000, the only reason you wouldnt is b/c of the price, but any logitech wireless optical is pretty good

all my mice are logitechs; logitech cordless duo, and a wireless laptop mouse. i dont think you would be "settling" with an mx1000. thats a damn fine mouse.

I consider Razer to be the be all end all in computer mice. Best quality i've EVER used, including some super high end mice at some lan parties in Rome.

This is generally considered the best gaming mouse on the market for high speed games such as FPS games. 1ms response time 4 extra buttons only $60

^^^ tried it. meh. and its corded.

mostly marketing hype. i can be straight murderous on FPS with a ball mouse. i prefer optical wireless mice because there is no cord to snag when im trying to tag someone, and no rollers to gunk up that can effect your game.

the one thing that is nice about razers is the weights.

so anyway, i was just saying that my next mouse is going to be a mx1000 (next to a logitech dinovo

) and i just like that because its rechargable, has a base station, a few thumb buttons, a battery indicator, it contours into my hand, and its got freakin laser beams! haha.

I have an optical, my dad bought a laser, frankly, they are both the same to me.... just make sure you feel them first, my dad's mouse feels "odd" to me

You can't go wrong with Logitech.

I have thier "gaming" laser mouse. MX510. I love it to death.

Look no Further!

If you want a real mouse that wont crap out at you when you need it most dont get the wireless!

Wired is much better than wireless since your dont have to worry about batterys going out.

I chose this one it's the top of the line at a retail price of $69.00 but im sure u can get it on ebay or somthing for a bit less.
