Until the Magic Mouse I've always had an Intellimouse, be it the Explorer or similar. @Darren – I’ve never liked the Logitechs, though I know I’m very much in the minority there.

I have always maintained that Logitech are the only company that knows mice, and Apple are minnows when it comes to them. Yes they try and do things with style but always stumble. After I bought my first Mighty Mouse, I vowed never again, however I almost fell for the marketing hype on the new MM! Until I read that there was a lack of gestures, which made no sense. For such a simple peripheral it seems like it should have been tested properly - a lad in our I.S. dept had the exact same issue until I pointed him over to MacRumours. Personally I'm waiting for the Logitech Darkfield mice...wherever they are. The whole 3 finger gestures that the mouse software doesn’t support was what drove me away from the MM in the first place.
