I know this is probably uninteresting to most of you but that's never stopped me before :-)
Today my new mouse arrived in the mail. It's a Razer Diamondback, a gamers' mouse. I don't really play video games (except an occasional online flash game if it's addictive enough) but I do spend some time in Illustrator and Photoshop and have been looking for something that's a step above my previous mice in precision (resolution.) I also didn't want to move to a tablet or specialty mouse just for Photoshop, since I really don't spend enough time doing that and I move back and forth between different apps quite a lot.
After purchasing a few mice and trying out about a dozen others, I settled on the Diamondback as the best mix of comfort and precision. With it's long and comfortable buttons which allow me to position my fingers so the scrollwheel is actually under my middle finger's tip and not about half-way down the finger, and on-the-fly precision adjustment (button 4 + scrollwheel,) this mouse makes moving from Firefox to Photoshop a breeze.
I've tried a couple of wireless mice, including the mx1000 laser, and decided that they were a bit too heavy to be comfortable. The the wired mice I'd tried didn't have the comfort or the precision I was looking for with an under $50 pricetag so I'm very happy to finally have this solid mouse under hand.
What mice or other peripherals do you really like?
