Microsoft Habu mouse. I love this thing... been great ever since the day I first got it.

Logitech G5 weighted just the way I like it.
I'm going to be sad when this one dies, but not as sad as when my iFeel Mouseman crapped out. I loved that mouse so freaking much. I really wish that tech had caught on, it was pretty useful.

Logitech G9:
At the time I bought it, you have no idea how hard it was to find a mouse that you could adjust the sensitivity of it on-the-fly, and yet also have a WIRE. At the time, theUSB wireless mice had horrid latency, even the so-called "gaming" ones. I've heard it has gotten better, but I have no reason to upgrade until this dies, which I hope isn't for another 5 or more years.

Good lord. No wonder you hate so many games frankie, you have your hand wrapped around a torture device when you play.
I use this at work

It feels strange at first, and really my hand is too big to use it properly, but it still feels great. Honestly I think that this is the ulimate evolution of mice, and where they all should go (in one form or another.)
At home I use a G9. The on the fly sensitivity change is pretty useful in certain games (BF3 for instance).

If you've never held it, I wouldn't judge. It's entirely adjustable in nearly every way to perfectly fit your hand.
But as Levar Burton always said, you don't have to take my word on it.

Most games don't really need to take advantage of it, but like it's called, it really shines in button and macro intensive MMOs. Most games the plain old Rat7 is fine.

Or a nostromo speedpad. I've thought about getting one of those myself. That many buttons are handy, once you get used to them you never want to go back. They let you do things with a click you used to have to do finger-twisting key combinations for. Like, "That's a SPY!" in TF2 is X, then 2. Try doing that while moving and aiming. Or, try doing it with a thumb button.

I think I prefer the G13 to the speedbad, purely for the amount of buttons. However one thing I really dislike about the G13 (and maybe the Nostromo does this better) is that the directions in between the primary axes on the joystick (like up+left) do not seem to work correctly.
If they did then it would be the best gaming device of all time, since you can replace your entire WASD layout with a single finger. But I haven't been able to get the sorted yet.
