I currently use a touchpad for everything I do, I imagine most people would fail miserably at this...
I know someone who uses one of those thumb-ball mouse things thats really odd...
I know people who have wireless mice, wired mice, optic, laser, ball mice,
and I know people who use other items instead of mice...
Everyone prefers different things, sadly no-one can tell you a better mouse... but if you want an answer
I found this on google
The best mouse for designers
