Which mouse do you use

As the title suggests, which mouse if any do you use with your laptop and why. Bluetooth or wireless...

microsoft presenter mouse 8000 - great for powerpoints and uses bluetooth so no need for adapter - also comes in a nifty travel case

Logitech V200 Wireless.

I think my middle button is starting to screw up. I can't close tabs using it without having to really press it in, and then it closes down more than one window. Lame

Logitech VX Revolution. Good wireless (2.4GHz) mouse. Small but comfortable to use. Scroll wheel is pretty funky too for scrolling long documents. Can set it between clicky and free roll. RRP is a bit pricey though.

Mostly the touchpad, but I just got myself a USB MS Optical Notebook 3000. A nice little blue/silver/grey thing it is. I like the "Magnify" button, I've reassigned it in firefox to be "back".

+1 for the Microsoft Presenter 8000 Mouse, very convenient, comfortable and love the additional case (and the laser too, it goes VERY far

).

It _never_ lets me down, even after significant abuse

Logitech Mini Optical Cordless

Has never let me down and the one AA battery has kept me going strong for about a year now!

Got it for $18 too!

Targus Notebook Optical Mouse with a retractable USB cable here. Surprised that it can play games quite well.

MS Wireless Notebook Laser Mouse 6000. Nice and easy to use, good connection, can store the Wireless adapter in the base of the mouse.

My asus laptop came with the Logitech Mouseman Traveller. Not sure why they gave me a logitech, was meant to come with an asus mouse but im not complaining. Even though this mouse is optical, it looks awesome and has lasted me now 3 years.

You'll never go back to a touchpad....those things give me finger cramps. I introduced my gf to a mouse a couple of years ago, shes never looked back.
