iso: new mouse

I still rock one of the old microsoft intellimouse joints.
It's been working swell for me over the years but I'm sure they have a laser version out now so give it a look.

Logitech LX7 is what I rock...its wireless optical and I love it....battery life is good and its got great response...best part are the programmable buttons.

shouldnt cost more than like 30 bucks on newegg

wireless mouse lag aggravates me to no end. ive experienced it from standard ir, laser, bluetooth, you name it. there's always an amount of lag that kills you when gaming.

i'm buying one next week. it really is a great mouse.

yeah, sorry i wasn't more specific about what i was going to use my mouse for, but i don't really play games all that much - i just want a badass mouse. i heard that some logitech mice have a tendency to lose their finish quickly even with normal use, has anyone noticed this mouse? thanks again for everyone's input, i'll post a short review of whatever mouse i get probably in a week or so for whoever's interested.

my bad, that was supposed to say "has anyone noticed this with their mouse?".

i have a logitech mx500 now.. been using it for about 2.5 years and it hasn't lost any of the finish.

that's actually very good to hear, i was leaning towards the logitech mx518 until i saw this: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/gaming/productdetails.aspx

it kinda depends on how much it will be when it comes out, but it looks pretty nice and has pretty much everything i could ask for in a mouse.

IntelliMouse Explorer USB (1st Gen).

Cost me $100 years and years ago. Was one of the first optical mice around at the time. Have had to crack it open & cut the wires back some then resolder them due to fraying (too many LAN parties will do that to a corded mouse). The finish got rubbed off quite badly due to age as well, but after a good sanding down & a fresh coat of rubberized black bumper paint (clearcoat for the non-black parts), she's good as new. Still rockin' it:

I won't buy another mouse until this one completely fails on me, or gets hit by lightning... :D

mx 510 (My old mouse) never lost any finish. still as red as it was on day one. only reason i switched is because i gave it to a friend.

again though, the mx518 is a brilliant buy. i'd recommend it.

the only reason I'd have a problem with the microsoft one is that its uniform for both hands. unless you're a lefty of course.

i used another Razer mouse (which is the maker of the microsoft mouse you linked) and couldnt stand that it was completely flat, and it felt kinda unnatural to hold your hand like that for long periods of time. im sure you could get used to it either way though

I use a Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 2.0. It has never failed me in the 3 or 4 years that I have been using it. Plus, the finish on it (Kinda brushed carbon.) had never worn out.

I'm still using my beloved Logitech DiNovo's Mx900 bluetooth optical and it's amazingly fast and precise, perfect for per pixel editing!
