Ang, before you ditch the old faithful, you might want to check around, my particular mouse (Logitech, OC) has no user servicable battery, but… thank god for google :)

Luckily, I haven’t ever had a mouse die on me for good. I would be very sad if mine did now though. The Revolution you linked is very good – my bf uses that mouse and has had it for quite a bit with no problems.

Personally, I prefer the smaller version of it – VX Nano Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks – the reason I chose it over the Revolution is that it’s smaller and therefore more comfortable for my hand. (Although if you’ve been using the similar older one, maybe that doesn’t matter.) However, it is a bit cheaper. That’s never bad.

Either way, I second the Logitech loyalty.

Aww I feel your pain. I had a great mouse that I loved each and every time I was on my computer until one day after an extremely frustrating PvP endevour, she was visciously hurled across the room to her demise.

But on the upside I bought the Sidewinder by Microsoft after some research and I absolutely love it! Apart from being awesome for FPS games which I play a lot of, it has vertical side buttons instead of the horizontal ones you see in pretty much every other mouse. For PvP I set those for strafing which makes it extremely easy to run circles around others.

Ah I love it, I would highly recommend it if your willing to spend the money and if you will use all of its features. The vertical side buttons are the selling point for me, I wouldn’t have them any other way. Oh, its corded also so no more battery problems.. but some people prefer cordless.

Once again I’m going to reitterate getting a good wired mouse. I’ve had far too many problems with wireless mice over the years. But it’s your decision.

I’ve got this one, and it’s wonderful : http://www.razerzone.com/p-69-razer-deathadder-gaming-mouse.aspx

iSamurais last blog post..iSamurai: @Saresa Get a proper mouse ;) Wired FTW. I’ve learned my lesson, switched to a Razer and never looked back.
