Decent wired mouse for OS X?

[valk]

I tried searching but I couldn't really find anything, and I also tried the MacRumors forums, but those guys are idiots (they were all like, "but wireless logitech mouses is epic!!! not as good as magick mouse thooooo ")

I have a Logitech G500, but the wonky polling issues in OS X make it basically unusable (see: http://paulstamatiou.com/logitech-g500-mouse-mac-bug, and specifically: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7k0iBmhzoFM). I think I read somewhere that they fixed most of these issues in Mountain Lion, but (through my trials) the mouse still doesn't perform perfectly. If it matters, I'm using a 2011 MacBook Air running Mountain Lion.

I wouldn't mind just getting a Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad, but I use a lot of Photoshop/other design software, and I absolutely loathe using either of those two peripherals for those applications (on the other hand, for basic web browsing and whatnot, I actually really like them, which is queer because before the Magic Mouse, I absolutely abhorred Apple peripherals).

So, I don't need nothin fancy for like gaming or anything...it's just that I love Logitech mice, and everything I've read says that they have about zero support for OS X :< I'm completely lost without Logitech mice, because they're the only brand I've used for years now :\

Are there any clear winners? Isn't the super-basic Microsoft mouse a crowd-favorite around here (I may be getting that confused with another place, so apologies in advance if I like...offend anyone with that remark)? Anyone know if it works well with OS X?

Thanks dudes.

For a while, i used a logitech performance revolution on my hackintosh before i switched to windows 7. Its not wired, it uses the logitech unifying reciever. Worked great on it, no issues. I too hate apple's mouse periph's.

I know its not wired, but i dont really use wired mouse's that much.

Just did a bit of research, and the Logitech Unifying Receiver apparently caps at 125hz (which is OS X's max), so there shouldn't be polling rate issues....right?

But then again, I just really dislike wireless mice in general haha. Thanks though, I'll for sure look into it a bit more.

I have been using one of the cheaper wired ms laser mice on my macbook and haven't noticed any issues but I'm not doing anything too precise on it. On my old mini I was using the old school ms mouse(same as you posted but black).

Eh, I have a drawing tablet so I'm not honestly gonna be doing any drawing or anything crazy with the mouse, but as long as it doesn't skip, it'd be cool.
