What about a good (moderately priced) gaming mouse for a leftie. Suggestions?
Cool idea, but I'll take my mouse/keyboard combo anyday.
Here's why I prefer the mouse/keyboard combo :
1. Smaller
2. Cheaper
3. Portabiliy
4. More resposive. 104 keys on the KB and at least another 5 on the mouse.
5. Much more condusive to quick bathroom breaks while the next map loads.
6. And it's much easier to pull a 10 to 16 hour shift at a LAN party seated.

Not a gaming mouse, but...

And you can change which button is the left and right.
Yeah, get 2 or 3 of them so we don't have to just watch
I bet that thing is horribly expensive
How about a Logitech MX610 Leftie?

I don't know about those new fangled cordless models. Don't they eat batteries like crazy?
Thats amazing! Too bad its the size of my room and probably the price of our house to buy it.
All the Razer Copperhead/Diamondback gaming mice are symmetrical so you can use them on either hand, I use a diamondback and /love/ it. I picked one up on www.woot.com one night for $25, but they run $35ish

If it's not cordless, it's CRAP! For a mouse... figure worst case... replace the single AAA battery every 2 months. WORST case.

I had one when they first came out, a crap compaq mouse that ate 2 AA probably every month, maybe month and a half. For about a week just before I had to change them out the cursor would jump all around. My new mouse is corded. Here.
I have heard the new ones are much better with batteries, and some have charging stations for when they arent in use. The thing I liked about my old mouse and something I looked for in a new one is the weight. The cordless was heavy and felt very good in my hands. A few of the corded mice logitechs I tried were way too light. It felt like I might break them. They were also small, and didnt fit comfortably in my hand. The one I have is the biggest and heaviest I could find.
Thats the mouse I have.
I know they have other mice out there that you can add or take away weights. I thought logitech made those, but I'm not sure and i'm to lazy to look for it. aww, what the heck here it is..

I had one of these but it didn't work with the icemat so I gave it back and got the 518 instead
The newer G series mice come with 2 batteries and a docking station for the batteries so one is always charging, plus it has three different ballast weights so it can go from quite light to smooth'n'heavy.
Theres a corded version too.
But they're pricey.

I have a G5 corded mouse with the nifty little wieght tray loaded to max. I have been very please with it. But its no good for a lefty. The on-the-fly resolution adjustment is sweet.
I have had cordless mice in the past both at home and at work. I do IT type stuff and have seen a lot of different cordless setups, and I have come to the conclusion that the cheep sets are all crap. The Logitech dinovo are realy sweet but way to costly. Every week I was replacing batteries or resyncing the units. We probley had 40-50 sets.
The worest was the IBM set. the mouse would go to sleep to conserver power and then it would take 1/2 second or longer to wake up. I hated those things. They chewed AA up too.
later,

Best Buy has the Razer Copperhead and Logitech G5 (both are corded) on sale for $39.99 right now.
I tried the Copperhead for a few days. Very nice, but too small for my hand. Picked up the G5 today. Much better, even though it's not an ambidextreous mouse.
Why get a regular mouse when you can get this

I'm picking up a new gaming computer in a few months, and when I do I'm going top-of-the-line with all my peripherals. Definitely a Razor mouse, good keyboard, new joysticks/wheel, awesome sound system, etc. I'm gonna have some fun

ive been using an Optical Logitech mouse. worked pretty great, bought it when i built this PC about 3 years back. it crapped out on me the other day while i was playing Counterstrike. left click quit working. i replaced it with a ~7 year old (seriously) HP mouse that came with my last computer. the ball is terrible. it doesnt track smoothly. if i take my hand off it and let it just sit there- the pointer will head off on a journey towards the edge of the screeen.
i need to get a new one.
i very much prefer a keyboard and mouse over a controller. not enough buttons on the controller.
