Poll Mouse for Designers

[chrisvpr]

I work as a graphic designer and I also do graphic design jobs at home (freelance) . At work I use an Imac with the typical apple magic mouse and it is very responsive and accurate. I own a macbook pro 15 (mid 2012).

What are the best mice for graphic design out there?

I think that the magic mouse is overpriced, is there any other options?

What about logitech brand?

Don't get a mouse, get a tablet.

Wacom Intuos Pro

I agree with everyone that a tablet is indispensable in graphics work.

But try this on for size..... I used to have this on my "other" computer....

Accurate and responsive most especially when doing small, precise mouse movements.

dv8_fx is right (but don't tell him that I said that:mrgreen except where he buys them lolhttp://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/performance-mouse-mx?crid=7
the Logitech Performance Mx Mouse, is best on the market if your not using tablet (its worth the $) I have 3 for different computer set ups. I swear by them

Take iDad's word for it.... he'll swear or cuss on just about anything... 3 times over if need be....

Great minds must think alike (... or else it's just a popular mouse), but I used to have the exact same mouse that dv8 recommended, and loved it.

A couple of months ago, I upgraded my keyboard and a new Logitec mouse (almost identical to the previous one) came with the package, so I'm using that one now. Love it, just as much.

That being said, believe it or not, I also have a Wacom tablet and a Kinsington track ball sitting on my LHS, also attached as input devices, and depending on the task at hand, I can instantly switch to any of them. It helps being a bit ambidextrous, LOL.

Also look at the rat series I have a rat 7 ideally for gaming with high dpi so bought 1 home and I love it as it has a lot of programable buttons for short cuts etc. also is adjustable in size however if your not 1 for lots of buttons try the rat 5 or 3

Gotta agree with a Wacom.....But Logitech makes a sweet trakball...I prefer them over mice

I still use crayons.

(Note to self....buy screen cleaner.)

I did consider the size-adjustable Rat mouse. While the concept is fascinating, I couldn't find one to try out in any of the nearby computer/gaming stores, so I went with the much more conventional Logitec. Also, I kept thinking that if I did buy it, I would have to keep looking over my shoulder because it's father, a full sized Transformer, would soon be dropping in to release it from such menial work, LOL.
