I sadly broke my good mouse just now while playing

The first button doesn't do anything

Now while I weep over my beloved mouse, I need someone to tell me what type of mouse should I get, name/etc, and where I can get it? Could I get a good optic mouse from compusa or not? Poor mouse

I really like my Microsoft Optical mouse.

Get an optical mouse for sure. I have the Microsoft Wheel Optical mouse. Simplicity of a 2 button/Scroll wheel, with the ease and joy of optical. It's about 25 bucks at CompUSA or anywhere else it's sold.

Try getting an opitcal mouse It works great for me. You just need a smooth desk or else it will stick! Get a mouse pad for it!

Mine is actually the 4 buttons and wheel model. Not the explorer but the small version. I use all 4 buttons and wheel and is very handy.

Yes, indeed get a friggin' optic mouse they rule!!! I hate having to disect my mouse just to clean it. All you need to do for an optic is pop the ball out and wipe it and then reinsect your ball back in. Okay now go get an optic mouse at your local computer store!!!

Just wondering, what exactly do you have the other 2 buttons binded to? I'm going to ask my mom for a head set, so I'll probably have one binded to "+voicerecord" (or at least I think that's the functions).

Trigger, Opticals have *ahem* no balls.

I use a generic 5 button with wheel optical mouse with USB (are they all USB?) from Fry's. Cost about 8 dollars.

works so good and its CHEAP...

Got me a Logitech Optical. Blue model. If I could, I would get me the red model, just cuz I go to OSU. Just two buttons and a wheel, nothin fancy.

Microsoft 5 button optical mouse with track ball. All those extra buttons for binding things. Reload by pulling back on the wheel. etc. etc. They take a while to get used to at first but I could never go back to a push mouse! AHHH!
