I also have a Kensington Studio Mouse wireless; But I don't like it at all. It looks great but feels bad.

I love the charging cradle though - wish the Kensington had that. I believe that this

My favourite - no that's not spelled wrong, I'm Canadian, eh :) - is my new Logitech MX1000. Be careful though. I had to return the original one as the mouse pointer would 'jump' randomly every so often. Highly annoying. There's discussion of this phenomenon on the Logitech forums. The replacement has been working flawlessly. So far. It's very comfortable and very accurate. I’ve also used a bunch of different mice over the years.

We got my daughter one of those small optical laptop mice to play her games, and that's surprisingly comfortable to use as well. My favorite pointing device is the Microsoft Trackball Optical.

I have a Logitech with a semi-translucent base, and the spot where my thumb lies has been rubbed smooth and is now more transparent then the rest, so I think it's the texture being buffed down by repetitive touching.
