Default Best wireless optical mouse

Morning folks, just wondering what you mouse you guys would recommend for me. Currently got a cheap Microsoft one at the minute, it works fine, apart from the wireless isn't very good and the damn thing tends to stick and jump - I'm assuming its the wireless isn't very strong/interference? I use it for my business, graphic design and I'm PC based. In the past I've had logitech's, which were quite good, just wondering if there's anything else out there. Guy in PC world told me to get a gaming mouse, but I'd rather hear from peoples own experiences

I use a Logitech Performance MX, http://www.technoshack.co.uk/compute...u60xoC5q_w_wcB

They have been around a few years now and there may be better technology available, but for the money I have found it to be excellent in response and reliability. Has some nice features built in too. With average everyday use the battery charge lasts 20+ days but you can also use it whilst charging.

Yes, I think I'm going to have to go back to a logitech to be honest. I'm also left handed, so I'll have to try out the ergonomics of that particular mouse before I buy. Most are ok, but that particular mouse looks like it moulds in to your hand a little too much, if you know what I mean...

I have one, and I wouldn't recommend it at all for left-handed use.

I would agree absolutely, although I am right handed, but I think a leftie would find it very awkward.

I'm a graphic designer and use a Laser Logitech Anywhere MX on a decent mouse mat. It's a very small mouse so very easy to manoeuvre for more intricate design work.

If its for work then have a look at one of these, not cheap but designed to stop RSI and come in left and right handed versions. I'm CAD and use it 8 hours a day for the past 6 years with no RSI etc

Same here, performance MX, pricey enough for a mouse but works great.
