A recent post reminded me to ask this question, and I didn't want to usurp the original thread, so here goes one of the easiest questions ever: What is the best 2 button mouse with a scroll wheel? I would prefer not to have batteries to replace, etc., so I guess that must meen sticking with a corded device?
Apple designed the Magic Mouse to work seamlessly with the Mac. Its multitouch surface lets you perform gestures like swiping to move between pages or scroll through websites, double-tapping with one finger to zoom, double-tapping with two fingers to call up Mission Control, and more.
Or is there a wireless mouse that has a base station that is the source of the power supply? I always think that as soon as I buy one, apple is going to come out with a great one. I've been thinking that for years, enough is enough. Originally posted by Ganondorf I bought a Logitech Optical Mouse (USB w/ removable PS2 adapter) from Wal-Mart.
It's about 20 bucks. It has two buttons and a (rather stiff) scroll wheel, and it's optical, which means there's no ball, it uses a laser.

Which is nice. I like it, works perfect.
I don't know that much about mouses (mice?), but there's definitely nothing wrong with it. Logitech optical cordless mouse. I have had one for two years. No comparison, it is a wonderful mouse and I am glad I got it.
Fits my hand great and I like the stiff resistance of the scroll wheel. I also like the Logitech Optical Mouse.
It's probably not the best around, but it's certainly inexpensive. I found that after a while, the scroll wheel clicking and scrolling didn't sync, so it would scroll twice in one click sometimes, or at points between the click (a friend also had that problem, seems like a design flaw). If you don't like the stiff scrolling, you can do what I did and crack it open and remove the spring it solved my problem. (If you want a good, cheap mouse, get the Logitech Optical Mouse; if you've got money to spare, grab something else.).

I've been thinking that for years, enough is enough. Logitech's Click! Optical mouse works awesome for me. I love the way its designed, the tracking is precise, and it looks good. It also has a small 'Bonus Button' that you can assign to do whatever, like Expose.
And it's a Logitech mouse, so everything is very customizable from the Logitech Control Center prefpane. I highly recommend it, and it only costs $20 Here's a review by InsideMacGames: Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with it. You can also get a wireless version, if that's your thing. I have a Logitech MX700, which I think is pretty good for general work, but after an year of use or so, I find myself wanting a non-contoured mouse. For my next mouse I'd have to pick a Logitech MX300 because it's lighter, more balanced and good for rapid movement.
Arguably the best thing out there if you are into serious gaming. The Logitechs are good otherwise but I think they should drop the extra buttons, they're worthless on the MX700. The ergonomics are so bad the extra buttons are a bother to use normally, and impossible to use in gaming.
A plus side to having the buttons impossible to use is that you don't press them accidentally, I did this with Microsoft mice that had a lot of buttons. Anyway, if you have to get cordless you might want to consider Logitech's newer model (MX900?).
It adds Bluetooth to the computer as well. Originally posted by Altivec2.0 Kensington Studio Mouse. The Best ever.
While the Scroll Sensor does take a little getting used to, I wouldn't give it up now. It makes it as easy to scroll rapidly through long documents as to scroll a few lines at a time. I find the Scroll Sensor takes very light pressure as long as you use the tip of your finger to cleanly hit the sensor's zones; if you are pressing across two zones, then it does take a lot of pressure to get it to work - after a little practice I had it down consistently. I recommend it.
