  • what is your favorite mouse to use?

    I’ve used AE for several years, but never thought if I could be using a better mouse than my simple click and scroll mouse. I’ve noticed gaming mouses are pretty tricked out with many buttons and such. Does anyone have a mouse that works great for AE? Or that is just nice to use in shape and function?

    I find the Logitech G5 laser mouse excellent both for work and games – in conjunction with USB Overdrive. Logitech own mouse settings panel/driver is crap – don’t even think about installing it.
    However I mostly use my Wacom board in AE.

    cheers

    I use a Logitech Cordless Optical TrackMan — a right-handed, index-finger trackball — and a Wacom tablet. I’ve got them both connected to my system at the same time.

    The trackball is way easier on my wrists than the mouse was, though it took me about a week before I was really used to it. In addition to the right and left click, it’s got five other programmable buttons (plus you can press the scroll wheel as a sixth button). I use that most of the time, and grab the pen any time I need to draw or do any fine masking.
