HAY GUYS

Shopping for a new mouse. Preferably one that's asymmetric, and doesn't feel too light on the hands. Any suggestions? Don't need a tilt mousewheel or anything fancy, tho programmable buttons would be nice to have.

I like Microsoft and Logitech for mice.

This one is probably more than you need, but it's sweet: http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=22221&vpn=931562-0403&manufacture=Logitech It's also available in wireless.

I use a MS Comfort Optical Mouse 3000 - it's pretty symetric, but works decently and was reasonable.

My suggestion would be to go to your local Best Buy/Fry's/Future Shop/etc. and just see how different mice on display fit your hand and your budget. Often it's just a matter of finding one that matches your hand.

Logitech VX Revolution
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16826104016

i find some of the buttons superfluous, but it's not too big and not too small, and has a nice solid feel/weight. i used to have a thing for bluetooth mice, but after having a lot of problems with bluetooth and eventually not using any of my bluetooth mice, i switched to standard 2.4ghz RF.

I've wanted the revolution mouse since I tried it out at the store a few months ago. I love the scroll wheel... but it costs way to much for me >_>

yeah actually i was going to say if you could find it cheaper it'd be a good buy. US$60 is really steep, imo. but i was lucky and had a 20% off coupon to compusa for black friday~

Hmm. Pretty easy to avoid infection it looks like. Good heads up though.

Yeah, but only to people who actually know what they're doing once they sit in front of their computer...

Soooo, that's about.... 2 out of 10 people ???

You're awfully generous. I'd say 1 in 20.

I'm not generous... i just have faith in humanity! *cough-cough*

The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists, and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "Save us!" and I'll look down and whisper "No."

Thanks to ZenMaster @ HJU for originally providing these links:

The rumors are no more! Feast your eyes on what will soon be popping up at local United States Post Offices!
As reported here earlier, the USPS will be helping Star Wars celebrate its 30th anniversary.

We've gotten additional information from our Rebel Scouts embedded deep within the "Empire".
