Favorite computer mice?

Sadly, many of my favorites aren't made anymore.

I'm daily driving a Logitech G600, but my other machines have a Contour Perfit and an old HP 3-button optical mouse.

I'm using an old Razer Blackwidow mouse that I got from winning a local League of Legends tournament like 8 years ago, haha. :)

I like that it's very light, fits my hand well since it's not very big, and has handy thumb buttons for back/forward shortcuts in the browser. I don't think I could function correctly without those.

Also, I like that it was free.

@Ruby_Witch That's my favorite price. :)

I have a Logitech gaming mouse and a Logitech trackball. They were cheap and both work OK for my needs.

The best addition to my setup was a giant "gaming" mousepad (has a hard, slick surface) which made a huge difference in accuracy and ease of movement. It was very inexpensive and I wish I had picked one up long ago considering it should last forever.

For work I use an Apple "magic" touchpad placed strategically between the two halves of a split keyboard.

For gaming I'm fine with any cheap mouse, I remember before optical mice and they were oh so much more annoying when they would get jammed up with fluff that you had to clean out :) even if it was strangely satisfying...

My go-to mouse was the Logitech M500. It fit well in my have large hands and I enjoy the dual-mode scroll wheel. Nowadays I use the Kensington Expert Mouse, which is a trackball. I enjoy its button layout and scroll wheel thing.

like @addison I also use a Kensington expert trackball. It took a couple days to get used to, but i like it more than a traditional mouse now. I use a standing desk and recently added an under-the-desk treadmill to it and find the trackball easier to use while walking

I'm using a (wireless) Logitech MX nano since 2011 and it still works perfect. The newer models aren't cool compared with this early model
