Request for recommendations for best mouse for Vista

[RONDO1020]

I am a relative newcomer to Autocad and am about to begin using version 2007 with Vista. Any recommendations for the best mouse to use would be appreciated. I have read numerous reports of pan function not working correctly etc and would like to start off with a mouse without any compatability issues.

The razer mamba is probably the greatest mouse out there right now. But at a price of around $120 us dollars, it is steep.

I have had this mouse for a few weeks now and find it great for autocad.

17 pounds is a great price as it does look and feel like it should cost more. The middle button/wheel is really great.

I'd like a mouse with 8 or more buttons. Can anyone recommend one that works well with AutoCAD?

i quite like this mouse. got it recently and i use autocad everyday :) seems to work great with me.
getting the correct mouse is all down to personal opinion though. theres only so much information from others but until you try a few out, you might not find "the one" :)

All I've read on this site points to Logitech as the preferred mouse. I'll search their website and find something suitable. Sounds like hand fit is the main concern.

I love my MX 1100 Logitech :)

Reading the various reviews, the MX1100 sounds great. My original concern was how individual mouse features work with AutoCAD. I'm used to a 16 button cursor on a digitizing table but want to switch to a mouse. My sense is that the main thrust in mouse design is for ergonomics and that they all function fine within AutoCAD.

The SetPoint software that comes with the Logitech mice lets you program the buttons to specific tasks, specific for Autocad (and separately for other programs as well)

I like my Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse, MX3200.
