Mouses
Well, I have a Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer, the new version, version 2.0 I believe.
Love this mouse to bits.
Not the wireless version, that makes a high-pitched beeping noise and it drove me mad for the day I had it.

I believe it's best MICE, even though I'm not a native english speaker
Anyways, the Intellimouse Explorer is a bit "too" much of an artifact, I prefer the Intellimouse Optical. I found a good deal in a shop last week, a MS Internet Keyboard (PS2) and a MS Intellimouse Optical (PS2/USB) for 50 € <- this is the Euro symbol, lol. The bundle (it's one package) comes around US$ 45....or so.

Well, with English being the strange language it is, either are actually correct.
Although fish rather than fishes & mice rather than mouses is the preferred "Queens English" versions.

Using "fish" as plural is correct when referring to multiples of the same species, while "fishes" is referring to multiple species. And in this case, I would think "mouses" would work since we are talking about all kinds of 'em.
Personally, I dig the MS Explorer Optical, but I think I would like pretty much any of the optical units for CAD and gaming.

The new version of the IntelliMice, 2.0 are very nice. I was checking one out in Best Buy the other day and they are real nice. I have the old 1.0 version and it rules. Also if your going to get a mousepad for the mouse get a RatPadz (www.ratpadz.com), it is the best mousing surface known to man. Plus with some teflon tape mouse feet you can make that thing fly across the surface of the pad.
So in order to game right you need the following things:
IntelliMouse Explorer 2.0 ~ $50USD
RatPadz ~ $20 USD
Teflon Tape ~ $5 USD @ K-Mart.

I like the MS Intellimouse Optical myself.
I've got a couple of the MS Explorer 3.0 mice, and they're very nice. This was a swap from the original Explorer mouse.
The original Explorers are quite large, and the new 3.0 ones are slimmed down a bit. They are right hand only though due to the shape and positioning of the thumb buttons.
The Optical mice are shaped like a standard IntelliMouse, but with the addition of one extra button on each side. Personally I find them very uncomfortable to use, and the button on the right of the mouse isn't positioned very well. I have to move my pinky to get to it, and it makes my fingers ache after a very short period of time. Avoid these mice like the plague!

Definitely not wireless yet. You'll spend a small fortune on batteries.
Not sure about the dual-optical, but I've heard it's pretty good.
