Best mouse for use with Photoshop

[MikeSp]

Since gaming mice have much higher resolutions than regular wireless mice, I am wondering if they might be more accurate to use for some of the Photoshop functions such as using the lasso tool?

Recommendations/opinions?

Thanks,

MikeSp

Adjustable sensitivity would be good, as you can slow down for better accuracy on the fly. Logitech G5 or G7 come to mind

i hate adjusted sensitivity, it should be adjusted scroll speed with the same sensitivity. The whole thing is stupidly designed, and the sensitivity jumps by massive hops.. (going from 1600 dpi to 800 in one click, to 400 dpi)...

I prefer to use quality mice anyways, and those are often called gaming mice, it is just a name though. Higher resolutions means three things. Higher initial mouse move speed, registering slighter movements, and less false positives (aka, moving on its own while not on a proper surface). The speed can be adjusted in windows properties, registering slighter movements doesn't really matter beyond a certain point (for me 800dpi), but less false positives is nice if you don't like the feel of a special mouse pad on your hand and have a table that is dark and smooth.

I use a Razer Diamondback 3G, and you can incrementally adjust the sensitivity on the fly. You hold down one of the two buttons on the right side with your pinky and roll the scroll wheel up or down to adjust it.

My G5 is programmable; I could go from 400 DPI to 1900 DPI in one jump, or 400 to 450, or 1900 to 1950, or... or...
