    You will need to give us your budget, use and form factors (left/right handed, etc). I would normally go for logitechs.

    your best bet is to go to Bestbuy etc. and put your hand on the mice availble - see what you like.

    I personally like Microsoft mice

    Yes, budget, left/hand right handed, bluetooth? Wireless, etc..
    Small or large mouse...

    I use the Microsoft Bluetooth Wireless 5000, and the VX Nanos are really nice :D

    Here is a nice Mouse Buyers Guide from the forum:

    Logitech mice last long, are reliable, and have great customer support. Microsoft is not that bad either, but I still prefer Logitech.

    Check out Targus too, for those really small mini-notebook mice which are wired, but have those retractable cords. Very mobile for notebook purposes...

    I like logitech and I don't mind Microsoft for the cheap $10 optical mice(but I try to support Microsoft as little as possible). I also love my Lenovo Thinkpad Bluetooth mouse. They must have gotten some company to make it for them, it is very durable and works well.

    I suggest Microsoft or Logitech. Both make very good products.

    If your looking for a great desktop sized mouse the MX Revolution is on sale at bestbuy for $50 which is about half off normal price. Pretty mucht he best mouse Logitech makes.

    i would recommend the Logitech VX nano ... its such a great laptop mouse

    some people say its too small, but really... i'm 6'6" tall and have massive hands, and the Vx Nano is perfect.

    the usb connector for the mouse is so small that i never take it out of the laptop, going from university, to home, to the girlfriends house etc, i never take it out, pretty much plug in the USB and forget it... the batter lasts beyond description... i have had the origional batteries in my nano now for 6 months and just now i got the battery warning indicator (which warns me i have 29 days of battery life left lol)

    without a doubt, the vx nano gets my vote, it is an astounding mouse
