What kind of PC mouse do you use?

I use a IBM mouse that I got for $15.

...an IBM optical mouse, with a wire. It's nothing special. I have a Blutooth wireless optical mouse, with a built-in laser pointer, but I don't like wireless. I have to say, though, that it's the sleekest mouse I've ever seen. The laser is fun to play with the cats, too.

Go Razer! I bought a Diamondback Plasma LE a couple weeks ago to replace the very old ballmouse that I've been using. I really don't like the software that it uses, but other than that and the blue LEDs shining in my eyes, I love it. Now I just need to get a worthwhile mouse mat for it. Any reccomendations?

Sadly, it doesn't seem to want to play well with my laptop, so if I can't get that sorted out I think I'm gonna have to look for something else. Probably wireless.

Of course, as much as I like the Diamondback, I'd still rather have a ballmouse. I'd love to get my hands on a Boomslang 2000.

A cheap Logitech optical. I've tried the Intellimouse Optical, the newer version of it (can't recall the name, now), MS Trackball Explorer, and Logitech MX518. The MS mice ended up getting busted, the trackball I use on and off (if I'm doing a lot of diagram or graphics work, I'll use it); and while the MX518 has very smooth tracking, its ergonomics are really lacking compared to their absolute low-end POS mouse, IMO. I've thought about trying some different mouse pads and getting another MX518, because the tracking really was nice (it hardly ever skipped), but I'm happy for now with a 3 year old used cheapo mouse with custom feet

A Logitech MX900 for my PC and a Wacom Graphire Bluetooth for my PowerBook. Absolute positioning and pressure sensitivity is the only way to fly.

I may have to try a Razer for my PC, if I ever decide to upgrade it to handle today's games.

That sucks, cause the MX518 literally fits me like a glove

MX518+Func 1030. I also have 2 fire red MS wireless mice & a Sun optical.

I agree, Razer mice absolutely rule...I've been a convert ever since the original Boomslang. Currently using a Boomslang Sniper 2100. I love it when my friends try to use it and totally can't control it.

Give me all the sensitivity possible! I do wish Razer would hurry up and make a balls out cordless mouse though, I'm almost tempted to get the new Logitech G7 just to snip the cord, but that shape never did work very well for me.

I've never upgraded mousepads since getting the large Everglide Attack pad when it first came out. There's just no room on my desk for the recent trend for bigger and bigger pads.
