    I like what I have been seeing (not necessarily what I've been feeling) in the past few months. I know I want something with a tilt wheel, forward and back buttons, and wireless. I know Logitech is on the cutting edge right now but a lot of reviews for their latest mice, like the mx610, are conflicting over it's usabilty in games. I'm not a hardcore fps fan but I wouldn't like to lose just because my mouse is laggy. Oh and I am right handed.

    So what is everyone currently mousing with (if you use mutliple mice list them too) and what are some suggestions as to what is the best mouse for gaming, general use, mobile, and overall. If a mouse comes in a keyboard combo you can list that too.

    I use a Razer Diamondback - best $50 I ever spent. No lag whatsoever, and it's light and responsive.

    Logitech's G5 Laser gaming mouse is also excellent...but it's nearly $80, a little more than I'm willing to spend. Also at that price point is the Razer Copperhead (laser).

    Here is a review of the G5.

    And here is the review of the Razer Copperhead.

    Personally, I'd just save some money if I were you and pick up a Diamondback. It comes with a handy little neoprene travelbag too.

    I'd go to Best Buy and check them out for yourself before you buy. ;)

    Hope that helps!
