Today is the 40th anniversary of the mouse. Since then, it’s evolved into different shapes, sprouted buttons, lost its tail and mutated all kinds of other crazy ways. But everyone has a favourite.
My favourite mouse ever is Logitech’s MX500, which set their ergonomic standard for years, all the way through the wireless G7 gaming mouse, and to some extent, their current Revolution series. It doesn’t have a laundry list of features or 10 million buttons—it’s just a simple, but perfectly evolved mouse. The worst mouse ever has to be Apple’s hockey puck, no need to explain there. Tell us who made your favourite in the poll, and get more specific about it in the comments.

Agreed. MX500 was the best mouse I ever used. A pity I forgot to steal it when I left my last company. At least I have my MX700 (the wireless version of the MX500) at home. Though the charging station doesn’t work anymore. The form factor is still superior even to the new stuff Logitech is bringing out these days.
