What Kind Of Mouse Do You Use?

The thread about the right hand pain, gave me an idea to start a thread like this. What kind of mouse do you use? Have you seen a mouse that you want? Which are the best ones on the market for those playing online poker?

Personally I use a mini mouse with a retractable cord. Stretches out pretty far. I actually stack my mouse pad on top of my diploma from high school (I know weird), pull the mouse cord out as far as it will go, sit back in my chair and click away.

Pictures are more than welcome too.

Logitech wireless mouse. Nothing special about it in terms of shape, just your standard 2 buttons and a wheel in the middle.

wireless microsoft mouse and keyboard (less than $40 set @ WM) ... sit in my livingroom with my laptop pluged into an oversized monitor

best thing I have found ... the mouse will track fine right on the fabric of my sofa .... so if I want to set back and play I don't need any surface for the mouse ... I like it ...

now I need a 30"-32" monitor to multi table more games on then what I play now ...

does anyone use a 32" LCD TV as a monitor ??? how does it work ?? ... today I'm using a 19" LCD TV ... works great .. about nil quality loss ...

I use Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 on my desktop and Microsoft Wireless Notebook Laser Mouse 6000 on my laptop.

Batteries last 4+ months with heavy usage.
Only complaint is a slight wakeup time when you haven't moved the mouse for a while, but well worth not having a cord.

A friend of my fathers used to say: "Stay away from them Green's (Jeff) and Bodine's!" Pronounce Bodine like Bodeen.

I swear by my Logitech. If you are not happy with your mouse, check out Logitech mice online. They may just have a model you would like!

I would love to find a cordless mouse and keyboard that I would'nt have problems with. Every one I have tried I have had trouble with. Maybe I'm a little rough with the mouse sometimes(u know after a bad beat) I don't think they like it. The corded ones seem to be alittle tougher.

Logitech Mx518

Adjustable dpi and 8 buttons makes it good for first person shooters as well as poker. Optical means no mouse pad. Cord means no batteries to think about. Comfortable gaming mouse, reasonably priced.

I also play PC video games, and in addition do some design work on the PC when not using my mac (but i have one for my mac too). These are the best mice out there and I highly suggest them as a professional computer user. I am in no way affiliated with the company, but I appreciate their quality.

Mouse type

I prefer the wireless two button roller type, hate having to deal with cords, but if you get one also invest in a battery charger, I like the energizer recharger that handles AA & AAA batteries, have not had to buy any batteries for over 3 years, just keep it handy so you can put batteries in as soon as they discharge so you always have a fresh set.

I am still useing tracball marble mouse about 4 years old with no troubles.
Some people never get use to it because you move ball with pointer finger not the whole mouse. Wife uses laser fine but moving whole mouse will tire you out on long poker sessions.

Also Wolfpack Im an alumni of NCSU Go Pack! Hoping for resurgence of championship years of 74 and 83.

I guess I may be different; because of a chronic pain problem in my right hand, I use a Logitech marble tracball for my right hand, and a Microsoft laser optical mouse in my left. In other words, I switch off between both when playing.

Mouse

I use a Dell bluetooth wireless mouse and keyboard so I can do things around the office. it helps in multitasking.
