I just recently got a Microsoft Intellimouse Optical 3.0 (up from the $20 Optical mouse) and a Everglide Giganta Optical pad (up from an old cloth tattered pad). I loved the mouse from the get go - very very comfortable. At first, I dind't like the pad texture but now I'm in love with it. I'm just wondering what you guys are using for gaming. Also... what sensitivity do you use? I know a lot of people like Func pads and the new Logitech MX mouse but I've never really liked Logitech mice.
