Best wireless multi-button configurable mouse
-
I purchased a 3DConnexion device, which is nice, but I still need a keyboard and a mouse, so I don't really use the 3DConnexion much. I have a Wacom tablet, but while it has 3 mouse buttons, it lacks the wheel, so I cannot do everything I can with a mouse. My ideal input device would be a wireless Wacom tablet with support for multiple programmable buttons, but I do not think that such a thing exists (or, if it does, at a reasonable price). Attempting to locate such a device on the Wacom web site was a waste of time: all flash and useless content (no way to search for a feature).
What are people using for wireless non-keyboard input devices?

For my new PC I bought a wireless keyboard and mouse package from Logitech. The mouse model is M510. It has a couple of extra buttons on the side and the wheel clicks left and right but I don't use them. All I want from the mouse is left, right and center buttons and the scroll wheel. For my Macbook I have a Logitech M325. It was the least expensive wireless mouse Best Buy had when I went in to get one. It works perfectly fine for me.

i use a Logitech G700s with cable and removed battery (and battery cap
) because i like a lighter mouse and i don't want to have a wireless mouse on my desktop. But is is a wireless mouse and has 13 programmable buttons. The only thing that has to improved is the cable which is a bit stiff for my liking. But since it has a removable cable i will try to exchange it with some flexible USB cable.

Wondering if anyone is using the Logitech G602 as CAD mouse with SU and if so, how well does it work?
I've been considering both it and the new MX Master, but the multi-button programable feature makes the gaming mouse interesting for frequently used keyboard shortcuts.
Also if anyone is using any Logitech multi-button mouse on a Mac, now well does the Logitech driver software work for programming the buttons? Any limitations?
Thanks,
Doug

I bought the G602 - it just didn't feel right and I went back to my Logitech MX Revolution. The G602 is just gathering dust now.

Thanks for the feedback, Alan.
Shortly after posting I was in a store where the G602 was on sale and I almost bought it. But they didn't have any on display, only in the package... so I was reluctant to pull the trigger without getting a feel for it. Maybe a good thing that I held off.
The MX Master looks interesting —especially the horizontal scroll— though it seems a bit big for my hand. Wish the MX Evolution was still available, but it was replaced by the less-loved Performance MX.
Guess I have some more considering to do before deciding.

I use the Rat 7 and have for a few years... very configurable... Love it. I also have the Space Mouse Pro.

Okay, that is the craziest mouse I have ever seen. Mouse meets Gyro Gearloose (showing my age here) or perhaps mouse meets Terminator.

I have a wired Razer Naga. It's a great programmable mouse. I use it for all kinds of apps, not just gaming. Here is the wired/wireless Naga

Logitech m705

It is, but awesome... adjustable length, thumb and pinky rests, weights and already heavy, modes for up to like 30 configs and then there is the up to 5000 dpi adjustable. Even comes with option palm, pinky and thumb wrests. was like $80 I think?

for my vote, it's the Logitech Performance MX
comfy and configurable. I won't use anything else.. (had the MX revolution until it's battery pack died.. when my Perfomance dies, I'll goto the MX Master....) -

(had the MX revolution until it's battery pack died.. when my Perfomance dies, I'll goto the MX Master....)I had the revolution myself but didn't like the performance. It was somehow the same, but everything was slightly different wich made me feel awkward. The m705 is even better than the revolution. No battery recharge, reactive, all buttons configurable, cheaper, very easy to travel with yet large enough for desktop and confortable. It might not be the case for people with bigger hands than mine... for me it's perfect.
