Just bought a Logitech Mouse... very impressed

[Atahualpa]

I have some €15 mouse.. it fulfilled all my needs: small, cheap, USB and optical

The others were either wireless (which my aging notebook doesn't like), too large (I have to carry the mouse around with me in the notebook bag), not optical (igitt) or had a PS/2 connector (ugh).

The one I had before was a Logitech Mouseman Traveller, that was quite a good mouse (with its own leather bag to safe it from damage), but unfortunately in the end it had this error that it would double click all the time.

I have a cheap Logitech wireless at home... I have a cheap Microsoft wireless at work... both function equally well. I think the Microsoft one cost a few dollars more, but both were pretty inexpensive.

Maybe, but the scroll wheel is a must.

I actually think that scroll wheels are really bad. They get painful after a while.

I'd rather give up every button on my mouse than my beloved scroll-wheel.

Doesn't your finger get sore? I use the buttons instead of the wheel. I have them mapped to Page Up and Page Down.

Yeah, it is amazing that Apple keeps selling out dated mice without scroll wheels on them. Plus at least the older Apple mice were not very ergonomic at all. I haven't used an Apple in 5 years so maybe they've changed their mouse design for the better by now.

In addition to the scroll wheel I also like having the forward and backward buttons right where my thumb naturally sites as well as the right button to provide additional options without touching the key board.

I have a Logitech optical mouse. I love it. Oh, and I agree with those saying the scroll wheel is a must. I hate using mice without one (ie, at work... where I'm posting from now).

I'll agree that the original rectangular mac mouse was not very ergonomic. However, I find the current pro mouse to be the most comfortable.

I use the back button, but not the forward button. That one is set to close programs/windows(very handy when brouwsing, it used to be even better when I had no pop-up blocker.).
The latest MS driver blahblahblah regrettably doesn't work like it used to though, before it would close Word, while now, it will close the document in Word. )

Clicking the scroll wheel will show my desktop, no need to minimize any window.

My posts are insightful. 2000 years from now, scholars will be studying them. Sometimes, I wonder why I hang out here, throwing all these pearls of wisdom to you swine. Oh, and I believe a is in order here...

I really don't see a reason to buy brand mice, but I still bought my dad one for his laptop. It was a logitec optical mouse.

They will endless debates about them (and their possible hidden meaning) for sure.

I posts are insightful.
