The problem with a wired mouse is the wire! It gets snagged and tangled up in feet. And it can pull back on the mouse, moving your cursor.
I use on my main machine,
Link Removed due to 404 Error. I don't know who makes the mice and keyboards for Microsoft but they are excellent. I particularly like the mouse because while right handed, I use my mouse with my left hand. 99% of contoured mice are made for the right hand and I don't like the feel of them in my left. And left-handed mice tend to be too expensive for me to justify the money - not when a non-contoured feels "natural" to me.
That said, I always keep a wired mouse and keyboard handy - for troubleshooting purposes.
On my notebook, I use the
Logitech V450 Nano. I like it for several reasons. (1) It is not contoured, (2) it is small, but not too small so still comfortable, but goes with notebooks when traveling, (3) the receiver/dongle is tiny so I can leave it connected even when in the notebook travel case, and (4) it's laser tracks on just about anything including glass, your pants leg, carpet, furniture upholstery (the arm of my recliner).
That said, NO ONE can really recommend a mouse (or keyboard either) for you. The mouse is an extension of
YOUR hand and therefore, must "feel" right to you. So I highly recommend you visit your local consumer electronics stores and play touchy feeling with all of them. Then choose what you feels good to you.
