I currently use two mice with my desktop pc: a wireless Logitech LX8 and a Razer copperhead tempest blue for games.
For my Lenovo S10 netbook... I use the Logitech V550 nano. Below is a short mini review of my 3 fave mice:
Logitech LX8
The logitech Lx8 comes bundled with the wireless Logitech Wave Keyboard.
Its a laser mouse which runs on two AA batteries. Its ergonomically designed and is quite comfortable for longterm use. I find the pointer sensitivity satisfactory for normal desktop and surfing use. It has a scrollmouse and two buttons both on the right and the left side is programmable and can be used by normal righthanders and southpaws as well :) The battery lasts for a decent amount of time, i usually change it after 3 months or so of heavy usage.
Razer Copperhead
My Razer Copperhead comes in the Tempest Blue flavor. It has a sensitivity of 2000 DPI which you can increase and decrease on the fly. In contrast with my Logitech, the Razer is more sleek and low...just like a sports car. It glides easily and noiselessly through most mousepads like a hot knife through butter, thanks to its teflon feet.
This mouse is great for hardcore gamers and midlevel enthusiast gamers like moi. I can personally attest to the fact that the Razer Copperhead dramatically increases my speed and accuracy when playing COD4, left4dead, crysis and other games.
Logitech VX550 Nano
Amongst all the other notebook mice out there, I rate this mouse a perfect 10! Logitech engineers really took the time to study the specs of a perfect laptop mouse.
Its small and light. The simple rectangular slim design mimics that of the apple mighty mouse.
I love the really small bluetooth usb receiver as it enables me to plug it in my netbook all the time and then forget about it. The receiver is so small, I hardly notice it.
I just love the clip and go lock ability of the V550 nano. It comes packaged with a clip + adhesive which you use to attach said clip to the lid of your netbook/laptop. It comes with 3 clips and a clip remover in a handy tin container.
When you clip it in, the mouse automatically turns off saving on battery life. Once you unclip it, it turns on autmoatically. There's also a manual power on/off button. The clip on makes it ultraconvenient when moving a laptop/netboook. Your mouse always stays with your laptop/netbook. Wherever your my netbook goes, so goes my mouse :) Its a kewl lowtech innovative concept esp. when coupled with the convenience of a wireless mouse.
I had no problems using the mouse on wooden and plastic surfaces and fabric ( I used it on my pillow). I did notice a loss of sensitivity on glass surfaces.
The great thing about this mouse is its advertised 18 month battery life! I'll know if that claim has any truth to it after 17 months ;)
