What mouse you use w/ your Macbook

I'm just curious if everyone uses the mighty mouse or some other form of peripheral with their macs.

For me I'm not a fan of the mighty and I'm using the Bluetooth mouse 5000 from MS and use my trusty little Wacom Bamboo for design work. I hate the nipple on the Mac too slow to navigate with.
 
I have the standard microsoft optical mouse, as well as the elite microsoft ergonomic keyboard. I had the mighty mouse when i worked and enjoyed it very much.
 
Nipple? Where? I have apparently been missing a fun aspect of my laptop 🙂

I don't use a mouse in OS X, but when I am booted into Windows it is usually my VX Revolution that I turn to. I have a few other wired mice laying around that I use on occasion, but it is generally the VX.
 
I use a mighty mouse. It's sad, but I like the look of and feel of it. I only wish it had two buttons instead of one that pretends to be two.
 
I own an iMac, not MacBook, and my favorite mice are 1) Apple wireless Mighty Mouse, then 2) Logitech VX Nano.

 
Whatever mouse I have hanging around. My VX Revolution, VX Nano, and MS Explorer are amongst the most commonly used by me, but I do use a MS Ergonomic set every once in a while that has a funky ergo mouse.
 
I use a wireless Mighty Mouse with my MBP. I haven't had any real issues for over 2 years now to be honest. I don't do photo/image editing or anything that requires superfine control and I absolutely love the vertical and horizontal scrolling. Once in a while the ball gets clogged up, but I just flip it over and run it on a damp cloth to clean it out. Also, I find the battery life is good (2 months or so) and I don't have anything hanging off my USB ports.

I did try an MX Revolution for a day or so, but the Logitech drivers didn't seem to work too well with the computer, and without the drivers the mouse wasn't worth the expense to me. Very nice feeling device though.
 
The only time I use an external mouse on my MBP is when I am gaming. Then I use either the Logitech MX620 or its wired brother, the MX440.
 
VX Revolution - small, plenty of buttons, good battery life, and the receiver fits inside the mouse!
