I have the DeathAdder, Diamondback 1st Generation, Krait and VX Nano.

DeathAdder = Fav desktop mouse
Diamondback = 2nd fav, this one you have to hold it lightly
Krait = the scroll wheel sucks – it tends to get stuck if heavily used
VX Nano = Fav on-the-go notebook mouse.

Neither.

Razer is far and away the leading manufacturer of any type of mouse. Even logitech doesn’t compare in technology or technology vs pricing.

They are marketed as gaming mice, but for work like graphics design and even in general desktop use they absolutely can not be beat.

Even when everyone jumped to optical, I stuck with a Razer ball mouse. With infrequently required maintenance on the rollers it still tracked better and with MUCH higher accuracy (2000 DPI in 1989 people, logitech didn’t hit that benchmark until the late 90′s)

the MS mouse is always clogged up; the Logitech never.

The main scroll wheel on the Logitech MX Revolution is superb and makes this the mouse to beat. I also like the three configurable buttons. One is just below the scroll wheel and I have it set to delete. The other two buttons are along the left edge where your thumb can reach it easily. I have the rear button set to minimize.

Logitech all the way

Dont get a MS desktop ket thing 5000, the wireless distance is like less than a foot

you might as well get a wired mouse

And i like logitechs innovation, like the vx nano

I want the bluetrach though, so if that thing actually works, then i might reduce some of my non-love for MS

Well that is sort of like asking what is better… a Ford truck or a Chevy Truck.

Ford makes a pretty good full size truck, and so does Chevy. Ford is very truck like, while the Chevy…. well you don’t know if your driving a truck or a nice car, they just ride and drive differently.

Microsoft and Logitech both put out some good mouse’s (is that proper english, mouse’s vs. mice ). I think that Microsoft mouse’s last long and do what a mouse is supposed to do, and their somewhat configureable. While I have never had a Logitech last very long, however the buttons where very configureable, and the shape and size of the mouse’s typicaly are conforming to the hand and/which make them more confortable to use.

Just recently upgraded to the Microsoft 1000 wireless desktop after years of using Logitechs’ products. While I do like the wireless features and media interface of the keyboard, the old scoot it around the desk mouse has to go in favor of a Logitech wireless trackball. The only rub being the wireless trackball costs as much as I paid for the combo Microsoft desktop.

For desktop work I prefer the Microsoft mice because they fit my hand better.

For portable use I prefer to use the Logitech Nano Notebook mouse due to its compact Nano transciever. The Nano mouse is a compromise, as the mouse itself is painfully too small for me to use for extended periods, but it beats the heck out of touchpad use and the inherent danger of breaking-off the notebook’s USB port with the leverage from the giant transcievers included with other wireless mice.

I have a Logitech Cordless Click Plus Rechargeable Optical Mouse and I have to say it is comfortable for me as well.

Thanks for the info I use the MIghty Mouse but I played Quake Live and that was the first time not being able to right click and left click simultaneously has been a problem so now I’m in the market.

I am partial to Logitech mice – sorry, I just have had nothing but problems with MS and other mice. Logitech seems to just work for me.

My favorite is the Microsoft Optical Trackball.

I think they’re not making them any more.

Logitech has a trackball that is almost identical to the MS one.
