Top Mice Compared

Johnny writes "Unfortunately mice are one of the most overlooked computer peripherals, while in reality should be one of the first places where your hard earned cash should be invested in. TechSpot has posted a round-up of some of the best mice currently available in the market: Logitech's MX1000 and MX518, Razer's Viper and Diamondback, and from Microsoft, the Wireless Intellimouse Explorer and the Optical Mouse by S+ARCK."

Best Investments

Mice, Keyboards, and Monitors.

Sure, you can deal with your computer being a little slow, but skimp on the above and you can wreck your wrests, posture, and eyes.

Trackball is where it's at

With a gel wrist pad, your arm only moves when you want it to, and there's no RSI or other nerve damage.

And you can use it on any surface, since it doesn't move.

I've been using trackballs for about 10 years now, can't stand regular mice anymore.

Logitech seems to make the best ones. Their Trackman series is my favorite.

Your sig makes a lot of sense in this argument. I never really did understand why mice won out over trackballs. Trackballs are highly superior in just about every way. I've been using mine for about 2 years. Since my hand is always in one place, it's more likely that it's in the right place. Also, I like the fact that you don't have to worry about how it acts on different surfaces, or on desks with very little surface area.

Right handed reviewer bias

Anybody else notice that the reviewer never tested ANY of the mice with a left-handed user?

All those "its ergonomic" Pro points would have been reversed, and suddenly the 2 Razers and the Starck thing would be the more ergonomic mice.
