This is my 3rd mouse from microsoft that craps in about a month. i'm fucking sick of it!

can anyone recommend me a mouse that's NOT microsoft but i have some requirements:

must be left or right hand. must have scroll both would be a plus. left and right mouse button of course but if there was 2 extra button, i'd be happier. kinda like the white microsoft intellimouse.

right now, I'm leaning more towards the logitech mouses like the lx7 or similar. anyone have good reviews? the 3 that crapped out were an intellimouse after 5years, and now 2 lazer mouse 6000 in about 3months. so i did like the design of those but not the quality. on both the 6000, it was the right click that failed. both when playing games.

i'm looking at the 610 left handed logitech. good? bad? anything else recommended?

Logitech makes great mice. I'm using an MX500; my only complaint about it is that the paint is starting to wear off from use. I've had it that long.

Their cordless mice are great; I recommend them regularly and have yet to see any major issues.

Since you specify that it has to be ambidextrous, the LX7 is probably the best choice for you. The 610 is a specifically left-handed design and is shaped accordingly. If you're left-handed yourself that will mean greater comfort, but if you share the PC with any right-handed folks they will have trouble using the 610 comfortably.

Get a wacom tablet. You can use either hand and it has fewer working parts.

I have a Logitech MX620 wireless mouse and I absolutely love it. Runs on two AA batteries that lasts for a year, feels great in your hand. Well worth the money.
