Comfort is my biggest concern with mice, even more so when gaming.
The average mouse causes my fingers to become sore after a hour of use, the more I use regular mice the quicker my fingers get sore (sometimes to the point I can't use them).
I have been using the mx1000 mouse with great success, it actually makes my hand feel better if I've been using a normal mouse for a while. The key is that it is shaped more like a ball then a pancake, allowing my fingers to rest in a comfortable position. But the mx1000 is a contrary b****, randomly requiring the USB transmitter be unplugged and plugged back in to work, randomly stop working, lag for 15 seconds then display the mouse movements in those 15 seconds in 1, sometimes not working at all, THEN it works beautifully for a month or more at a time for no apparent reason (formating has no effect). I require a backup mouse at all times (G5).
The Natural 6000 mouse looks and feels (picked up a display one at a store) to be the next step up from the mx1000. Only question is if it's any good for gaming. The only negative thing I've heard of the mouse is the scroll wheel has a smooth feel rather then notched (I don't like this but I can live with it).
So if anyone knows of this mouse, what is your opinion?
(sorry if this is a repost, but search the entire forms gave me results on china, searching this board gave me my own replies from the past)
