What mice do you use at home or work?

I stopped using mice twenty years ago when I began to get twinges of RSI in my right forearm. Since then I have used trackballs, trackpoints, and trackpads. I have been using the Logitech Trackman as my desktop pointing device for a long time. if I want something more than the trackpad on my laptops I use a Kensington Slimblade Trackball Mouse.

I am frustrated at just how few options there are for trackball users. And the majority of the options we do have aren't very good. Most trackballs have lousy ergonomics. Most of the ones that I've tried also have unreliable mechanisms. I realize that I am far in the minority here, but the number of people I know who like trackballs suggests that there is a much bigger market than the available products would indicate. Why can't we get a few more high-end ergonomic trackballs to choose from?

Kensington Expert trackball

 

I own their previous version of that one as well, but I prefer the Trackman. I seem to have better fine-control with my fingers than with my thumb.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I've just recently discovered the Logitech "unifying" series of wireless accessories where you need only one receiver plugged into the computer ( I use both notebook and laptop computers.) and you can synch up to 6 compatible items, like keyboard, mouse, tracball mouse, number key pad so on and so on. Currently I am using a combination that I LOVE, which includes the M705 mouse with fully customizable functions, free spinning hyper fast scrolling wheel or indexing (click for 1, 3 or 5 lines), forward and back thumb side buttons, a lower thumb button that pulls up all of your current windows and allows you to select which you want on top. The keyboard has a touch pad like a laptop with customizable touch pad and left/right action buttons. All of the "F" keys are customizable so you can select to pull up anything you can think of, like address book, calculator, calendar, web pages etc. Keyboard is the K400 and features laptop oriented and sized keys. Battery life on most of the Logitech unifying items is an incredible 3 YEARS. I couldn't tell you if this is a gamer friendly mouse (if you're into that kind of thing), although it does have a option to customize the mouse for full on gaming. From eBay, I paid less than $50.00 total for both items to my door step.

 

Nice to know the Cyborg Rat is so popular here, but i do feel the need to upgrade.

 

Razer DeathAdder at home (for online PC gaming). Still works fine after 2 years plus.

Logitech G9x, love this mouse! high dps for gaming, low dps for photoshop/illustrator. I had a logitech G7 prior to this one, both are awesome.
