So my wireless MS intellimouse explorer 2.0 is starting to get a bit buggy (signal loss on good batteries), long in the tooth, and never was terribly comfortable for me. I'm in the market for a good mouse.
I've tried a few, testing for comfort, at a local B&M store. Ones that seemed to stand out are the Logitech LX5, Nano, and VXrevolution. I didn't like the MXrevolution at all, and the G9 was OK but way too wide. I know the Nano and VXR are pretty popular, but mainly as laptop, portable mice. Does anyone use these for standard desktop use? If so, how do they fare? Do those tiny receivers work from under a desk (where my tower is)?
I like the above mice because they're a bit on the small side, which I seem to like. I grasp the mouse with my fingers and pinch a bit, and keep my wrist planted on the desk. Because of that, I seem to like a mouse that's at least somewhat symmetrical. I do play some games, but no extra-twitchy FPSs. The most accuracy I may need would be for an upcoming acquisition of Fallout3 or Stalker Clear Sky, something like that.
Recommendations, anyone? Specific models or features to look for would be appreciated. Thanks!
