Some Generic HP-branded USB mouse.

...what? It was free.

Though I used to have a fucking awesome PS/2 ball mouse that I adapted to so well. I used it to play Doom all the time back in the day. Then I upgraded to a new motherboard that didn't have a PS/2 mouse port. :\

And here I thought, I was the only one that bought one. I must admit, this mouse is pretty decent, but the fucking fact that you must have net access to Install (DOWNLOAD!?!?!?!?!) the mouse Driver, that IN ORDER to use the Tilt Wheel.

I have no clue why nowadays.. everything must be an Online/Download Install. Its really stupid.. I mean.. Here I am, reinstalling everything from scratch because my System Crashed.

Come to find out that you must have Net Access to install most, if not all, EVERYTHING now. That includes, Yahoo Messenger.. (who uses that anymore??), Win.. "Blows" Live Messenger, Microsoft .Net (required by some programs/games) and well.. a few online games I enjoy.

But back on topic.. The M110 is a pretty decent mouse. I used to.. (still have) a two mouses that have Side Buttons.. HOWEVER.. I come to find out, there is no such thing now.

Instead, I'm stuck with either a Wireless Mouse, a Mouse with a Retractable Cord, or Keyboard/Mouse Combo. Even at Wal-Mart, you don't have much choice. BestBuy is just.. meh, they charge too much for anything pc related I think.

Anyhow, I still have two ball mouses, however, they are PS/2 Ports.

It has been quite a while since I went to a brick-and-mortar store to buy computer parts. Try newegg.com. Other options are Amazon and TigerDirect.
My mouse is a Microsoft Sidewinder. They don't make them like that anymore. The side buttons are round, and one on top of the other. Since it is not a current model, I got it through Amazon.

I do not recommend TigerDirect, I ordered an item from them and they promptly charged my credit card, then canceled the order 5 minutes later without notifying me. I checked my status the next day, found it was canceled, proceeded to call their support line, and waited for 2.5 hours until I got to someone who said that "they don't do refunds" and was promptly hung up on. I had to file a dispute with my card merchant in order to get the money back.

Amazon and Newegg are top-notch, though!

I most often use some Chinese crap, but I actually have luck to possess more "real" one.. Logitech m180

Only thing that pisses me off is it won't work on dark background o_O
I can say I miss mouses with balls. Yeah, they clogged often and needed good working surface, but they were heavy... I hate light mice (mouses?).
Shared keys will now be in Zandro! Thanks devs for their work, and users for the support!

Picked up at target for 7-8 bucks, it's generally a GE optical mouse. There's not much I can find out. Can't find a picture

I'll say I love it

That's cute, but it must be an ergonomic nightmare.
I use a Microsoft SideWinder X5. I didn't want to be a leech on the image, so I linked the Amazon.com page instead. I love the round side buttons mounted vertically.

Guess what? I felt better with the MX518: the G500 has a weird placement and shape of the two thumb's buttons.
Sure that 2 of them are easily accessible but the third, the farthest from the hand to understand each other, I find hard to reach it while in some frenetic game.
But yes still a good mouse with a very high precision, highly customizable and all with a cute price of around 40 bucks. Quality/Price is > 1. :)

Edit:
Ohhh!!! Silly me! That's a M500. Guess it's much better than the G500. Anyway, you got my point.
