    Currently I am using a Razer Deathadder 3500 for all my needs, as far as my first non oem mouse I have no idea im sure it was ms or logitech way back when that was at least 15 years ago.

    Currently using a Logitech G9 with heaviest weights installed. Best mouse I've ever had. It's been far too long for me to remember what my first mouse was.

    First mouse BOUGHT was a Logitech V470, before that, for years and years, i simply settled for generic OEM mice. Current mouse is an Ideazon Reaper Edge.

    First mouse, the one that came with the Commodore Amiga 500. And from there I used a few crappy ones that came with PCs. Then I switched to Logitech mice and have been using them ever since.

    I have a Gigabyte laser mouse, it's nice and cost £4.99 from Play.com(quite comfortable) the highest DPI/speed of it and the one I use for FPS and RTS games is only 1600 but that's ok for me.

    First mouse I ever used was a rubbish ball mouse on my parents old eMachines PC haha =/

    What's that in the picture, one of the first mice made from wood? flippin heck that's so... primitive hahaha =P

    Razer lachesis is my current mouse, and my first "real" mouse.
    I thought I'd be more useful for the price honestly; 4000 DPI is so useless I definitely feel like I overpaid this one. Next time, I'll settle for an accurate and dependable mouse at maybe ?$40 max.

    MX518, perfect mouse and great low price. Makes me hate using peoples OEM mouses, I start hitting back buttons that aren't there, the feel is horrible, and when I get back to my mouse it actually takes some re getting use to.

    I have a Cyborg RAT 7 but had to stop using it due to the laser being a piece of crap. It is the most comfortable mouse with a lot of customizability which I miss. Currently using a G9.

    My first "real" mouse was the Logitech G5 (1st gen.) which I bought back in 2006 and I have no intentions to change it until it's dead!

    Offtopic: It would be interesting to know how many lefties have given up and hold their mouse with the right hand, I'm one of them btw!

    My mouse is a Logitech Anywhere MX. It's a great mouse. The only downside is that it burns thorough a lot of batteries.

    Like Arris, my first mouse is the Amiga 500 one. My current one is a Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000.

    My main mouse is a Logitech G9, but I had to RMA it with Logitech because there was something wrong with the laser. Logitech is replacing it with a G9x, which is awesome of them. I am using the mouse with the larger ID Grip that they have unfortunately stopped making. I have large hands, and with the ID grip, the G9(x) is the best mouse I have ever used. I hope they never stop making it, or at least something like it. It's just the best balance between form and function in a mouse I've seen.

    As I'm waiting for my replacement G9x to come back, I'm using their G500 which I find very difficult to get used to. The laser isn't centered, and it's not balanced like the G9 is, but the tracking is very good.

    I've used a ton of different mice: Razer DA, Intellimouse Explorer, etc., but I keep coming back to the G9.

    My first windows pc was a Toshiba laptop which just simply had a Synaptic type laptop mouse. My present mouse is a Logitech LX3 optical mouse. I tried those cheap chinese $3 knockoffs, but they are unusable. The cheap chinese keyboards are the best I ever used, however, to change the subject. I don't sympathize with those using wireless mice. How often do you replace the batteries (go green) and don't they interfere with your wireless laptops, wireless networked printers, and cordless phones?
