There is no "right" mouse only the ones you like. For me that's not even a mouse. I use a Kensington slim blade.

I agree completely... My MX revolution starts to have problems with its scroll wheel (i have it since 2006) but I still haven't found a mouse as good as this one to replace it..
Call me weird but my carpal tunnel disappeared after I switched to a magic mouse. I have large hands and used ergonomic mouses for years and still developed carpal tunnel. The magic mouse is lighter, slides better on my mousepad, allows me to keep my hand in a more relaxed position, and gestures work better.
Like I said, I'm weird. My brother loves trackballs so whatever works, works.

that's FLAT. impressed. but i dont think computer mouse will stay here any longer. in the next 5yrs, the production will completely stop.I got my first Logitech product about a month ago (trackman Marble) and, while it's certainly an "OK" product, comparing it to Kensington's old Turbo Mouse or their new version, is like comparing day and night. I haven't had any need for support at this time so I can't offer anything there. I think that, with the comparison between the two, the Logitech product seems to designed for larger hands.

Why the Slim Blade? Other than the large (and extremely comfortable large track ball) I've grown accustomed to Kensington's Turbo Mouse and it's new sibling, I've found that with the larger track ball, you need less side-to-side finger movement to move the cursor left-to-right than with the Logitec's smaller "marble" products.
Okay, unless I'm missing something, the website doesn't list ANY of the gestures that this touch mouse supports. I wanted to know whether this supports pinch-to-zoom... a feature which the magic mouse notably lacks... but Logitech doesn't seem to think that information is important.

Ah, that takes me back... a used to use a Kensington Trackball myself, way back when ADB was the connector of choice. I've yet to find a modern trackball that glides as smoothly as that one did.

The slimblade has the biggest ball I've found, I can use three fingers on it and the 4 buttons are enough. There might be better products I've just never seen them.

It's ok, it's gotten better with age, the thing I don't like is that you need to take the ball out every couple weeks and wipe the sensors.
