Of mice and men.....

Hey there,

Was wondering what you guys use for your point and click needs. Also, are there any trackball users out there? If so, what do you gain/benefit from using one instead of your standard wired/wireless optical mouse?

Cheap-ass 5-button optical mouse + Octopus mouse-click broadcasting. Life is good. :D

I used to use a trackball and still like them, Logitech did some nice optical ones but they seem to be less popular these days.

I guess it depends on what you like but I find that the modern mouse has more accessible buttons than a trackball.

I use a standard Logitech optical wireless.

Got a logitech mx laser.

Had a logitech mx...900? something for a few years, without ever failing. But then I bought a new comp, figured I would replace the one I had for the at the time follow up. :p It works well for me, I love the handling and the button positions. Real fit in my hand! *nod*

Can't think of any other mouse I rather have.

Also, wireless + rechargable bay is a must for me. :P

I've been using trackballs since the early 90's being in the architectural industry. I've never been able to go to a mouse, its just uncomfortable to me. Of all the trackballs I've used, the MS Optical Trackball Explorer is the best. Here is a link to the product page (http://www.microsoft.com/products/info/product.aspx?view=22&type=ovr&pcid=a9fdd4c0-41da-4045-9d6f-f087c17ffd30 ). It has 4 buttons plus the scroll wheel.

I've tried the Logitech Cordless Optical Trackman, but didn't like the buttons. They aren't like regular mouse buttons. I also don't like the location of the scroll wheel. I prefer to have it usable by my thumb.
