What is your mouse of choice?

Kensington Turbo Mouse! Worked like a charm for me from the first time I used an auction $5 unit I purchased and have owned a dozen or so over the years. Good solid products with solid easy to obtain software. The bigger the heavier ball the better! Also you can substitute the balls on the old models 2.25" billiards work nicely.

Wrist support is Mandatory for prolonged use otherwise you will have a problem with cramps ... but that goes for all inputs.

I use the Expert with scroll wheel now that zooms and pans in my cad software - very usefull - but the scroll could be more sensitive.

However I like to have seperate input devices for every computer in the house to help my slow head twig to the machine characteristics.

I bought a way over-priced Kensignton Turbo Mouse, and don't regret it in the slightest. It is wonderful to use, very rugged (I don't want to think of how often it has been dropped). and has been used on everything from my IIgs to a Mac mini. Given that it is 6 years old and still working properly, the over priced bit doesn't hurt in the slightest.

I don't have much experience with optical mice. Just a few ancient Sun mice and the Mighty Mouse. The Mighty Mouse scroll 'wheel' is too small, side mouse buttons are too sensitive, and it tracks worse than a mouse with balls.

/me runs to his Turbo Mouse and cuddles it.

/me then runs to his model M to cuddle it, so that it won't get jealous.

/me starts wondering why everyone thinks he needs to see a psychologist.
