Need recommendation for mouse
I'm upgrading my computer with more memory and now I wanted to upgrade my mouse with scroll wheel and was wondering which brand would you recommend? I would prefer a wired one unless there's a lot of advantage with a wireless one.

Re: Need recommendation for mouse
Kensington is a very good brand. You can also use most of the Logitech. You don't need the high end ones, the $40 mice are quite nice.

I also use Steermouse instead of the Kensington or Logitech drivers. It works just as well. or better.

Microsoft mice have served me well. They are also cheap so I don't care if they break.

Please note that I haven't had one break yet. I'm just saying, they're affordable.

Re: Need recommendation for mouse
I second on the Logitech mice. I have one with a scrollwheel that supports horizontal scrolling (by pushing the wheel to one side or the other). It was supported right out of the box.
There's what you love to do, and then there's what you get paid to do. Those two things are often different.
