Now is the time I SHOULD ask for geniune help:)

I need a mouse (my cat is sad ;) )
keep few things in mind before recommendations:


1: I am not a gamer, but require very high precision mouse.
2: Wireless/Bluetooth isnt neccesity.
3: Should have to be optical.
4: shouldnt be less than 800dpi resolution, of course I havent heard more than that. as if someone has, guide me to the link.


Now most iomportant, I dont want chained recommendations, the person recommending the mouse SHOULD be using it him/herself or at least have used it for sometime.
and as well available in UK.

If you can put up with the extra "dot buttons" and such, the Logitech510 is a solid mouse ... corded at that so there's not much chance for any lag period. A smooth feel to it although i guess with logitech's designs it kinda depends on the shape of your hand and the way you're used to 'mousing' ... i use this on my secondary system.

The mouse i use 24x7 is the Logitech Elite mouse (wireless); for some blasted reason you cant find it on the Logitech website but the mouse itself is the same as one featured here ( http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/CA/EN,CRID=486,CONTENTID=6012 ). Not 800dpi but certainly a solid mouse nonetheless

I was thinking of MX510 myself, seems i'll go for it. as microsoft havent mentioned specs of mice on their web site, else in ergonomics, their's are very good as well. but my initial requirement is precision. and that only is logitech's best.

Any specific reason you need 800dpi (i know more is better but still, after say 300dpi, we start getting into specific reasons)

I've been using the Logitech MX 700 for about six months now and I can't think of a better mouse. The tracking and precision are phenomenal and I've yet to experience any sort lag. Another great aspect of it is the recharger/reciever station, I get about four days of all day/most night use out of a single charge but anymore I just pop it into the charger when I go to sleep :)

The 510 is basically the same mouse but corded.

yes, a geniune reason, I have 1600X1200 Resolution :), and it takes hell time taking cursor from bottom to top :), currently i'm on 520dpi mouse, at least better than previous, but still slow (even at full speed)

and thanks Nephilium (hope spells are OK as I'm editing, so no back reference)
Yes in optical technology MX is well known, and mean while i was away, I spent 2 hours reading all about sensor speeds, how optical technology works, and the features blah blah, and what finally i came up with is Logitech 510MX, its damn fastest. as Logitech have sensor of 30X30 pixels (which nno other has got) and as well 580 image resolution, its damn faster.

I dont want to move my hand more than 1.5 inches. as working on adobe photoshop is really tiresome. sometimes i want to throw my mouse out of the window.

Hmm i guess ... never bothered me unless I was moving back and forth for 10+ hours straight but then again anything would bother me then :p Heehee
