I'm using a Logitech Wireless Trackball M570. Flawless.

As far as me showing my age, this is my first trackball ever. Just got it a few months ago and I love not having to pick up and drag the mouse around on my very limited desk. Plus it has cut down my my shoulder pain. Okay, so maybe I did just show my age.

I used to have a logitech g7 for my pc and with no drivers for my mac, it wasn't really much of an option although its a good mouse. If they had drivers, I might have kept using it till now. I did have a Razer naga as it was fun setting up all those macro keys to mac commands, like new window or dash, etc... Right now I'm currently using a Rat 7 and it's not to shabby. Drivers are okay, there not that crap.
Magic Trackpad for general computing.

I use the Logitech Wireless Performance Mouse MX.
After trying to play Civ5 with the Apple Magic Mouse a couple of times, I decided it was time to get something else.... (the touch-scroll was messing up the zoom all the time!)
For gaming and some photoshoping, I'm quite happy with the Performance MX. Thee scroll is a little particular too so sometimes you just want to zoom a little bit and it zooms a lot.
Besides that, great all around wireless mouse!

Is there something you particularly like about the DeathAdder for gaming?

It's easier to click using both right and left at the same time. It's also easier to scroll in gaming.
I love trackballs - they don't move around the desk like a Mouse does. I use the older Logitech USB ones with a single button on each side.
Though, I use an MS Scroll Wheel mouse for games as some like using the center button (the Wheel is also a button) or the wheel itself.
I do love trackpads also, that Magic Trackpad from Apple is awesome (tried it at the store) but is way, way overpriced...
Last week, I purchased the discontinued Logitech G900 from Amazon. Price was US$85, which is just over half what it sold for before being superseded by the G 903. Amazon sold out in a coupe of days, but a few Amazon resellers have it.
Excellent mouse, which I posted about in more detail, for other reasons, in the Mac mini forum: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/if-youre-having-mini-bluetooth-mouse-problems.2167133/

Has anyone used the Surface Precision Mouse?
I've disliked some of the "recent" Microsoft mice due to the soft scroll wheel and the rubber accents wear away and get gross from use. But this one looks much better.

Still using the Razer MMO Gaming Mouse, cross platform capable, but all my gaming is on my PC.
