I do hours of cad work everyday which requires a lot of very fine mouse work. My wrist was killing me. I switched to this mouse and it has helped quite a bit. It is easy to control with a very light touch.

Yeah, those look really nice. Anyone know how they are for gaming?

k. they are fine for slow moving games, but not for twitchers. I had one of them and would get owned by drunks on ut2004 because the scroll wheel is mushy (for switching weapons) and the response to quick turns was not fast enough.

Ever considered an arcade trackball and a mouse interface?

I need to post pics of my MAME Arcade Cabinet when I finally get it here... after the basement remodel... and the carpet cleaning... and...

The MX700 is what I use. Its awesome. It was on sale last week at Staples for $60 with no rebates with the Cordless Keyboard. Pretty good deal, chepaer than you can get it online. Anyways, that gets my vote. I like it better than my mx500 I had. They are basically the same exact thing, just 700 is cordless and the 900 is BlueTooth. What about a Razor corded ball mouse? They are pretty nice from what I hear.

I have heard the mx700 enables you to use the mouse in midair. Is this true?

I am getting all new equipment for my HTPC(uhg) and I almost forgot about purchasing mouse+keyboard.

Are there any other wireless models you guys have seen out there that are satisfactory?

I wouldn't think so. It's not a gyroscopic mouse; it's an optical. It's gotta have something to reflect off of.

I checked out mice today, and the Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 4.0 is really comfortable. However, the reviews on Amazon were sort of negative on the gaming. I think I'm going to get the MX500, unless anyone has positive gaming experience with the new scroll/tilt wheels on the Intellimice. (feels really weird too, not having any clicks)

I'm a FPS gammer as well...

M$ mice are fine for desktop use but I dislike them for gamming.

I'll vote for the MX700 too, thats what I use and its amazing for a mouse period, much less wireless.
