What do people use for a mouse around here? I dropped my old one and it hit the ground just right and broke. So out I went to buy a new mouse. Let me tell you, the display at Staples doesn't give you an accurate idea on how the mouse will feel.

I bought a Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000. What a piece of junk. It is uncomfortable and hurts my wrist. The wheel button cannot be pressed without moving your hand in an awkward way and that button is a must for me for my game play. The signal sucks, whether close or far from the connection. Sometimes it won't register then I'll move it around a bit and then I get all these movements quickly happen.

Laser is more accurate than optical my left foot. There is a certain spot on my desk where it just won't work and that spot doesn't look any different than any other spot on the desk.

What are people using and what do you recommend?

Now I have to figure out a way to get Staples to return the darned thing.
