I use a Logitech MX 1000 laser mouse at work and the Razer Diamondback
optical at home. They are both excellent. I would go for the Diamondback
if gaming is your priority, it is lighter and isn't wireless. The MX 1000
is the ultimate comfort mouse, perfect for long days at the office.

Of course I use and swear by the Razer Diamondback 1600 dpi optical
mouse. I also use the eXact mat that they sell as well, coms with both a
speed and control side surface. The mouse has adjustable sensitivity
(on the fly even ). the side buttons are a bit thin but other then that
an excellent mouse.

go fully optical with no moving parts, also use the USB to PS2 adaptor,
USB can have latencey issues, PS2 port is VERY low level and high
priority on a PC.
avoid wireless mice too, for gaming.
