    My favorite is my current mouse, which is the Logitech G9. This baby has it all goin' on!

    I've got the weight distribution set just right, the buttons and scroll wheel are a dream, and the overall feel while gaming is just fantastic. It's got instant on the fly resolution switching if you feel the need, and comes with two interchangeable grips, with more being made available. It's a truly customizable gaming mouse in every sense of the word, and there's not another like it.

    G9 FTW!

    Razer Copperhead. I have been using mine for about two years now and it has never let me down. Rock solid, extremely precise tracking coupled with a design that fits my hand perfectly. I love the sculpted mouse buttons and the wheel is grooved and also nice and grippy. I am using it in conjunction with a Func Surface 1030.

    Logitech G7.

    Because after using it for more than 2 years, it still looks like this:

    Totally agree....G9 by far. Of all the Logitech models this is the best for gaming. Also not mentioned is the auto detect profiles...very handy to have. Once I used it its hard not having one without that feature.

    I love my Logitech G9, adjustible weights, 3200dpi, onboard memory for up to 5 different profiles, but I still use my old 518 as a backup.

    It feels small, tracks well and fits my hand well. I don't like mice touching the inside of my palm and this one doesn't.

    So what if the buttons don't last very long? (A month or so of gaming) I can afford to buy another one when it dies :)

    I love the Logitech G5 corded laser mouse. I have both the G5 with the one thumb button, and the G5 with the two thumb buttons. I love both of them. The weight tuning feature is pretty cool. I dont game very much, but I do alot of Cad rendering which requires a good sensitive mouse. The G5 is awesome, I prefer it over the G7, and all microsoft mouses. I have never had a Razer mouse, but I hear they are pretty good.
    I dislike the look of the Logitech G9. I have never used it, so I have no opinon on it.

    Ah stupid camera doesn't express the 'sheen' of the mouse.

    But I've seen other G7's and they look like sh!t after a few months. Mine is 2 years old with heavy usage and there is not a single scratch on it. It still glimers in the sunlight.... :)

    Logitech G7!!! Best mouse I've ever used, and I love having no wires.

    Also love its black textured feel with the carbon fibre look, hottest mouse I've seen yet!
