Logitech for me! I love the G7 because it has a different method of charging a wireless mouse, compared to the vast majority of other rechargeable mice - it doesn't have to sit in a cradle.
I don't like wired mice because I found the cable kept preventing movement so wireless became the way for me. At work it's different - I'm ok with wired mice because it's not so frustrating when you're not in a FPS about to get shot.
It comes with two 10hr li-ion batteries, one to have in the mouse and one to be put on charge. The next day, swap them over and in about 5 seconds the mouse is fully-charged.
It doesn't hold out on the technology either - 2000 dpi and a 2.4GHz wireless dongle that doesn't interfere with other equipment, even if you had the same mouse sitting next to it (that had its own dongle).

Logitech G9---awesome.

Tried a Razor Cooperhead, what a piece of junk--updating and flashing the mouse itself is frustating. After many attempts and dealing with tech support, it just couldn't be done. Very poor service.

I voted some time ago, but never posted

Anyway, I'm using the Lovitech MX Revolution.

While it's not a "gaming" mouse it does a good enough job for me.

I use the setpoint drivers, and then install UberOptions, which installs on top of the setpoints, and really opens up the programming fearures for ALL of the buttons on the mouse.

I like having a gazillion buttons to program, and have it set up so that in a shooter like Half Life 2, Far Cry 2, Fallout 3, I rarely have to use the KB for anything other than movement.

In Fallout 3 for example, the ONLY keys I use on the KB are the arrow keys for movement and the F key for forcing locks. I do EVERYTHING else with all of the buttons on the mouse.

I use a Logitech MX Revolution.

Perfect for me. The thumb buttons/wheel are a must in games for me.
