Whichever one feels right to you, to be honest. Ignore the "leetgamerz0rz" adverts for "leet" mice -- I played more than a year with a cheap 10 dollar 6 button mouse and still got great scores in PR. I currently use the X15 or X51 or whtever by logitech. It's fine. Stay away from that one with the weights though -- it's a waste, having those. Whenever I have to use one I just chuck them out.

Any Razer.

MX518 is very nice, I got it for cheap and I'm very pleased with it.

Up until recently I've been using a Logi MX518 - nothing wrong with that one in the slightest... but I've also got a MX Revolution for my work laptop and have had much joy with that one too.

Really depends on what shape of mouse fits your hand better - for me, the Revolution is a better and more comfy fit. Additionally, it's a cordless (so no trailing wires), the battery life is pretty damn good (about 10 days) and is rechargable (overnight from flat to full) on the docking station bit - and has a battery meter on the mouse itself so at least you'll have warnings of the damn thing running out.

It's expensive, and you'd need a spare USB socket for the wireless dongle, but such is life - you gets whats you pays for...

Anything by Logitech.

G9 G9 G9!!!!

Well if you are looking to spend a pretty penny, you should definitely get the G9 from logitech. I just got mine yesterday, and god damnnnnnn does it feel good! Seriously, get it, I'm not joking. It's $80 from newegg right now if you use the promo code.

but if you aren't looking to spend that much money, it really depends what you are looking for, cord or cordless? (the G9 has a cord) laser or optical? and so on. but i have to agree with EGrunt, up until last night, I've been using the same no name brand optical mouse for the past literally 3 or 4 years.

But seriously, the G9 is amazing, you can use different grips, change the weights, the dpi change is very easy to access, mm i can't wait to go back home tonight and use it some more!

Had the MX518 for quite a-while now, and still havent found ANY reason to switch.
I cant do with the Razor's, but thats just a matter of taste and habit.
Be warned though, when choosing between Logitech and Razor you're making a choice for life!

go down to tesco, look in the electronics department and you will find for about £3.47.
I got a cheap one from tesco about 3/4 years ago (at least) and it has served me well and it is still going strong. it cost me about £5.

Go to tesco
