Default Microsoft Arc Mouse

So my old wired mouse died on me, and i want to get 2 new mice, one for my desktop and one for my lappy. I've already decided on the desktop mouse, im getting the razer mamba! i know, its expensive, but i realised that i never used the cash i go on my birthday, so, i guess now's the time to use it!

for my laptop mouse, however, im thinking of getting an arc mouse. anyone here used one before? possible review? please and thanks!

Mamba:
I can say, I'm jealous of you..I have the Deathadder, which is what they based the Mamba off of, and I LOVE IT. It does have the double clicking bug, but hey, it's so comfortable.

Arc Mouse:
It looks somewhat uncomfortable.
Personally I'd get something like this:

Yes it's a gaming mouse, but gaming mouse offers comfort.

avoid wireless mouse for gaming. if you're into intense gaming for a long time, wire mouse are the better choice. the last thing you want is the sensitivity to change when the mouse start losing power. after using alot of wireless mouse for gaming, all i can say is screw wireless mouse.

for me, i would go for Logitech Gaming Mouse G500, but that's just me. it has adjustable weights, as well as multiple buttons to hotkeys. great for fps.

to me, if it is not cordless, has 4 button + a wheel scrolling mouse, good respond time, with adjustable sensitivity, is automatically a good mouse. the adjustable weight is just preference, i personally enjoy it.

in any case, you can't really go wrong with razor mouse, they have good products.

This! But eh its hard to switch between wireless and wired....especially after your hand as gotten used to a mouse.

My wired mouse felt so heavy to me......for weeks after I switched from a wireless mouse.

To all of you wireless gaming mouse haters, the Mamba has both wire and wireless options. So say, you run out of battery in mid-game, you can just plug in the wire and continue playing while the battery charges.

lol, i was gonna say that but Sakumo beat me to it. And i totally agree, gaming should be done with a wired mouse. but for my lappy, im looking for something portable, so a wireless mouse would be good. and i dont game on my laptop. lol. its not a gaming lappy. and im about to get a new netbook, and heaven knows you dont game on that. problem is, i have huge hands, so a mini mouse will not do. Thats why im looking at the arc, seems to offer full size mouse comfort (sorta), with mini mouse portability. and, the arc, is like, the most gorgeous mouse i've ever layed eyes on...

oh, btw, another mouse i was considering was the razer orochi. another wire/wireless mouse. like a mini mamba.

[edit] i got the arc. awesome mouse. very comfy.
