Last year I bought a Microsoft Intellimouse Pro which I really, really like. Besides being a tad heavy it has been a pleasure to use. I didn't know Microsoft stopped making mice and keyboards. Such a bummer.

I wonder what some alternative brands would be. Logi has been terrible for me in reliability.

The Pro IntelliMouse is basically a minimalist gaming mouse, so that's the market to look at. Unfortunately its competitors tend to be more expensive, less reliable, and sometimes (in the case of Razer at least) require horrible software to function properly.
