Arrow What mouse do you use?
What kind of mouse do you guys do? I use a Razer Boomslang 2000. Basically it's a mouse specifically designed for gaming. It's also great for designing websites or any other action requiring pixel-perfect accuracy.

I'm using a wireless Logitech optical mouse. Simple, but it's good enough for my use!

Anyone use a trackball? I don't like them myself, as I could never get used to them.

Eww... trackballs . I don't really understand why someone would use a trackball instead of a regular.

I used to use a Logitech Mouseman, the one with the glowing blue logo.

James, you find trouble with your batteries?

Mine last me about a month... Which I don't see as being so bad... considering this system is used all day...

I've heard some people say the same as you... someone I knew had a wireless mouse, and their batteries would last a week...

Boomslang 2000 is the best still . It's expensive as hell ($100 USD), but it's the best when you come to first person shooter games or anything requiring pin point accuracy. It comes in a cool metal box too .
