    2. Wired Laser
    3. Wired Mechanical
    4. Wireless Optical
    5. Wireless Laser
    6. Wireless Bluetooth

    I use an MX-600 Laser mouse for everything but gaming, it is way to squirrelly trying to use in a first person shooter, for that I use an old MS intelimouse explorer 3.0.

    The MX518 is optical.

    There's a little issue with the poll though, as it doesn't make a distinction between a Microsoft 1000 Crappy and a mouse like the MX518 which is a gaming mouse.

    I've got two wired opticals of a cheap Logitech and a cheap Microsoft flavor. I've also got some random, nameless wired mechanical mouse which I'm using right now.

    Only in America can people say they have just one wired and one wireless mouse that easily add up to over $120 worth of mice.

    I have a couple, so I won't do the poll.

    1. Logitech Cordless Optical Mouse for Notebooks
    2. Targus Bluetooth Laser Mouse
    3. Logitech MX800 Optical Mouse
    4. Logitech MX Revolution Laser Mouse

    Yup, I do have a few, but it is what I use everyday though. :)
