Best mouse for FCP
I know that there was already question like that few years ago. I was trying to find recommended mice but I think that now might be something better on a market. I am tired of mighty mouse – scroll seems to get jammed all the time. I have already got second and I must have bad luck as same problem appeared.
Perhaps someone would recommend me some good mouse for FCP?

You cannot have too many buttons…I use Logitech Laser Anywhere Mouse MX. The HyperFast scrolling is perfect for spinning along a timeline and Darkfield tracking great for any surface.

The MX uses good old batteries. Its a tad small for my hands but fits in the notebook bag easily. Maybe the Performance for the studio and the MX for the road..
Now that is for one hand…under the other hand I have the wonderful Contour Shuttle Pro2.

Has settings for just about every app out there and sooo many programmable buttons. Hardly ever need to use the keyboard. -

Whenever my Apple Mighty Mouse stops scrolling properly I just unplug it, hold the mouse button depressed then roll the ball in all directions pressed against a clean cloth. Works every time for me!
Besides the point of what mouse to buy, I might suggest supplementing your mouse with a Magic Trackpad, both work at the same time. I love having it by my left hand for quick “pinch to zoom” in the timeline (I zoom in and out a lot), scrolling, multi-touch gestures and in case I run out of mouse pad space while dragging I can continue to drag with the Trackpad before letting go etc. etc..
