    I'm looking for a mouse that is confortable, that don't let my arm so tired (I have a shoulder problem). Sometimes I play CSS and Cod4, but the most important thing is that it must be very ergonomic and with good quality. I don't mind if the mouse is big or not, i don't have big hands.The budget is up to $50. If anyone can give me any suggestions I'd appreciate.

    don't know how much it is in the US, but i have a ms sidewinder and love it.

    other options are the g5, mx518. or any of the razer's.

    I forgot to ask for a good keyboard with the same conditions of the mouse (confortable and ergonomic, and if possible, also good for gaming). If anyone can help, I'd appreciate.

    Jeff: I'm gonna take a look at your suggestions, thx

    I got a free "premium" dell mouse with my gateway. I love it, it's really comfortable.

    Logitech MX1000 Laser mouse. By far the most comfortable I have used. It's BT as well.

    Thx for the suggestions about the mouses, I'm probably going to take the g5 or the mx518 (gonna try both and see which fits better for me).

    Now, can anyone give me some suggestions about keyboards? It's like I said before, the focus is on the ergonomic and confort, and if possible gaming as well. I have no idea which are the good keyboard brands or what keyboard is good. if anyone can give me suggestions, I'd love to hear it.

    I have the Kensignton "SlimBlade" any of the 6 different slimblade models are great, well built, and confortable. Also, most come with a 5-yr. warranty.

    The G5 and the MX518 are built almost exactly in the same way, the G5 has removable weights though.

    There are a few other differences in the actual mouse though. The G5 has a better sensor, it has a 2000dpi rating as opposed to the MX518's 1600dpi. This basically makes the mouse more accurate, and you can move it more with less movement across the screen.

    Both mice can change their dpi with buttons on the mouse from either 2000dpi (G5), 1600dpi(mx518), 800dpi, and 400dpi. You can also hotmap the extra buttons in different applications if you install the setpoint software that comes with the mouse.
