Rudeboy and I have different taste in mice, but we share one thing: a fancy mouse won’t buy you any extra frags.  Now, granted, you’re not going to get a lot of kills if you’re playing with your laptop’s trackpad or little eraser-thingy pointer.  But I’ve almost always been happy with an ancient two-button optical from Logitech (recently got a Logitech G7, which is nice, but it is overkill), and Rudeboy’s got an old Intellimouse with side buttons. Microsoft just launched a new Sidewinder, which does look sharp, but it’s going to be pricey and I have my doubts about how useful the LCD really is on a mouse. 

Still, a nerd likes to tweak, and this thing seems pretty tweakable.  Might be worth a look when the prices come down, neh?
