What kind of mouse do you use?

I use cheapo Logitech wireless ones. Some kind of black-and-white design at work and a cobalt blue one at home.

Didn't cost lots of money and they get the job done fine.

I use a tracpad. I have a mouse, a Logitech I believe, but I use my computer on my bed so I don't need it.
 
Been using a Logitech G600 for two years now. It's interesting to see that other peripheral companies have jumped on the MMO mouse bandwagon that Razer started with the Naga. Then the G600 came along, and now there's also the Roccat Nyth, and the Corsair Scimitar which is coming out soon, I think.
 
I wonder if anyone here has ever used those "hockey puck" Apple USB mice? I remember using one on an iMac in a public library years ago. It really is awkward to use, just like they say.

Those things where fucking awful, despite being the first to market with the mouse (after copying the Xerox idea) they have always seemed to fall apart when it comes to squeaker design.

They're still nostalgic and cool looking (at least to me), even if they're an ergonomic nightmare. The oldest mouse I own is a white Apple Pro mouse (it looks like a bar of soap with a USB cable sticking out of it) from about 12 years ago. Fun fact is that it can work on a PC.

Fun fact: All apple mice after the hockey puck can work on PCs I think. And ones before that can still work with an adapter.

I love the current generation of Bluetooth Apple mice, though. Three finger touch, double tapping, stretching, pinching, gestures, all kinds of customizable, tweakable shit. They're pretty sweet.

I like the feature set but they feel just way to small for me, but seeing as the new ones have just been launched with the rechargeable battery that are a little thicker I will give them a shot.
 
All Apple mice are garbage, in my opinion. I have no idea why they can't just use conventional designs. I guess they're just too *special* to do that. Maybe some of the newer ones are better, but the last one I used was on an iMac and it was roughly ball-shaped.
 
I use the Acer mouse that came with my computer. It's somewhat similar to a gerbil running on a trackball as the cursor rarely goes where I want it to.

Check out that USB plug. It's super hardcore with angles and shapes and stuff. And that scroll wheel is ready to go all night.
The thumb buttons are back and forward like a trackball.

the DPI button swaps from Slow->Normal->Fast->gotta go fast, and it lights up.

Has a nice heft to it. Well worth the $3.30 I paid, even if it showed up a week and a half late.
