| 1213095 | 2011-06-29 02:31:00 | Hi All, Can someone recommend me a good mouse for, primarily, graphic design work in Photoshop/InDesign etc? Are gaming mice suitable? The surface it will be used on (if this matters) is an older wood-grain veneer laminate table, which is quite smooth and glossy. Not too worried about price or whether its corded/cordless. TIA :thumbs: |

| 1213096 | 2011-06-29 02:34:00 | Personally I'd go for a Logitech G700, G9x or M950. They're not very lefty-friendly though if you use the wrong hand ;) | inphinity (7274) | ||

| 1213098 | 2011-06-29 03:05:00 | To be honest for graphic work I recommend getting a tablet. Then a tracking mouse for the tablet. It will be a lot easier and way more accurate. Depends what sort of graphics work you're wanting to do. | dpDesignz (15919) | ||

They're not very lefty-friendly though if you use the wrong hand ;) I'll vouch this, I use a G500 for everything at home, so the G700 can only be better :thumbs: Fairly good reliability from personal experience and what I've experienced with Logitech mouses too (if that's an issue you're thinking about) |

I am right-handed, though. As above, it could be painful as a lefty. Nofam, the Darkfield mice are great on specific surface types - glass tables, for example, where a typical laser will ping around a bit. No real difference on a standard surface. |

| 1213102 | 2011-06-29 04:35:00 | Yeah big fan of the G500, can't say I've used the G700 but the Logitech gear is usually pretty decent, and not too expensive either! The customizable buttons are *very* nice, as is the on-the-fly changing of the sensitivity / DPI. I also like the weights, make the mouse nice and heavy... And last but not least, can't forget the button under the scroll wheel that changes it between free-scrolling and the "controlled scrolling", I dunno it's hard to explain? |

| 1213103 | 2011-06-29 04:56:00 | +1 for logitech g9x, it has adjustable dpi, so you can change the cursor speed at the click of a button, which is excellent for photoshopping, particularly those delicate imaging operations where a steady hand is imperative :pf1mobmini: |
