Gaming mouses (mice?)
I’ve never really bothered getting any real gaming setup going. I actually generally play ET:QW slouched on my couch with a Thinkpad T61P balanced precariously on my lap. My cat likes how warm the graphics card vent gets and squeezes in on my lap as well, occassionally causing me to fire uncontrollably when she drops her weight on the trackpad buttons so apologies for when this happens :)
My mouse for this until now has been a portable Logitech infra-red based thing: great little mouse for just working and keeping in a laptop case, not so good for gaming I guess.
