I was all excited to read about some crazy infestation and subsequent cat adoption frenzy. Tch, just nerd talk.
Yeah...me too. I guess we have to start our own topics so we can read the interesting stuff.

I guess I don't consider 60 bucks expensive, who knew?! Plus, as far as the DeathAdder goes, it's one of the few mice that allows directly-mappable keys under the 64 bit vista OS. Most make you provide a work-around such as changing your push-to-talk key to ScrLk and then re-assigning one of the mouse buttons to ScrLk in the driver; rather than providing the proper hooks for MouseButton4-8.
I like the cheap mouse I bought for 20 bucks. Oooohh also the spiffy one I got with my Wacom tablet. No wires because it all works from the pad...weeeeee!

There, to keep the cat people happy.
I also don't consider £40 to be expensive... plus, try lining up 11,500 5x5 pixel squares with a crappy cheap mouse

I found the cheapest and fastest way to get a mouse is to perch a paper towel tube on the counter edge with a 5 gallon bucket on the floor under it... oh.. wait... wrong mouse discussion.

Lovely mice, I've got their Copperhead, superb quality and I agree about the reduction in wrist pain. If I don't have a good mouse, I suffer.
I paid about £40 for mine I seem to remember. Website says they are going for $70 currently.

I got mine on sale for something like 30 USD. Plus, it's lasted a year and a half, so I feel like it was worth it. Plus it's pretty.
The mappable buttons are really nice too. I use the thumb ones for forward and back while websurfing, and it saves me a lot of grief. Not to mention while playing TF2..... omnom.
