So I'm in the market for a new mouse as my old MX300 no longer has drivers that can run in Vista with my new machine.
I'm very enthusiastic about regular-shaped mice, so I've never considered going the MX518 or G5 route. Instead I've had my eye on mice like:
Microsoft 6000
Logitech G3
Logitech RX1000 (recently discovered)
I also enjoy at least one extra button for gaming, which is how I've settled on my choices (since I can no longer program my MX300's buttons).
I've tried the 6000 in person so I know that it's slightly different than what I'm used to, the side buttons are also awkardly placed, this is a common problem for ambidextrous mice. The G3 is the tried and true shape for me...however I can't justify spending close to $50 for a mouse! Then while searching around Newegg I noticed the Logitech RX1000 which could be had for under $30. It has a shape similar to the somewhat more popular LX3 mouse, but with an extra center button! Seems like it could potentially be the perfect fit for me.
I'm worried about the long narrow shape and want to know how other people feel about it if they've tried them before, and also if all the buttons on the RX1000 are programmable! I always put a lot of thought into peripheral devices so just looking for some more opinions before coming to a decision.
