I am looking to get a new mouse (for designing) for my computer. Does anyone know of a good one to get?

NO
The mighty mouse is horrible. Not precise enough by any means... bad mouse for design.

Any corded mouse you prefer with at least 2000 dpi or more resolution.

I'll second that, the standard MS mouse is great actually and cheap.

ever tried a trackball? I've heard good and bad things - I've never really played with one for any duration, kept wanting to move the entire device instead of the trackball itself out of habit. - ok, that was no help.

I use a Logitech trackball at home and at work, the kind you move with your thumb. Wireless at home. I've noticed that I can be much more precise with a mouse in certain instances, but prefer the trackball. It would suck on games though.

i use a logitech trackball as well. using a mouse is a real pain now.
the only game i've used my trackball with was splinter cell, and it worked great for me. i guess it depends on the game.

trackball gives me the claw. i use el cheapo logitech 2 button scrolly mouse. if i need to get accurate, i break out the tablet.

Logitech. I've got one here at work, and one at home.

My microsoft mouse has been working perfectly for over 3 years now. Might be longer. Who knows.

imo, mice that are billed as gaming mice tend to be designer-friendly too - they're high on ergonomics and feature accurate and high DPI levels.
I'm currently using a pretty cheap-o corded Logitech (modern equivalent is the 518), which i prefer infinitely to my heavier un-corded 'laser' mx1000 logitech, as it's more delicate when shunting anchor points etc.
I'm interested in the mice from Razer, as they have switchable dpi rates and fully configurable buttons (imagine setting side-buttons to traverse layers or set marquee or whatever.. *cream*). Some models also have rubberised top surfaces for grip and long-term comfort.

Microsoft Intellimouse Optical, the 5-button white and silver one. I've tried many mice but always come back to this one. Accuracy is pretty good, but like someone else mentioned, if i'm looking for more accuracy, i go to the tablet.

...best mouse I've ever owned. Fits the hand perfectly. I have one at home and one at work.

i use a logitech mx900 bluetooth. works great plus it has a hub so it can recharge. it never goes to sleep so i don't have to wait for it to react.
