All biases aside, I've got to say that Microsoft actually made pretty good mice when compared to other computer-related companies. They at least tried to make them ergonomic.
Microsoft also seem to have a new found fascination with making mice that are too small for anyone to use (while I have somewhat long fingers, my hands are about average size)
Haters aside, the Mighty Mouse is one of the worst pieces of **** ever made. I don't know about other Apple mice but the MM is totally horrible and barely functions as a mouse.
What would you say is the worst/least ergonomic computer monse you have used? I'd pin the crown on the Apple "hockey puck" mouse and its successors:Show Image(http://fishbowl.pastiche.org/archives/pictures/three-apple-mice.jpg)

They all seem to have this fascination for making mice for midgets. Imagine within a span of 20 years or less human evolution has now regressed into people being no higher than 4'11 and having such small hands that all manufacturers suddenly think we've become a nation of Ewoks or Munchkins.
The Apple Mice are definitely up on my last. Another worthy mention is the mouse that is shipped on HP's business class machines these days, which is about the size of a 'travel mouse'. Using one on a work machine caused me agony until I replaced it with one of my own mice.

The hockey puck takes the cake for sure. It was made for mice and rats, not humans lol
For me it has to be the RAT7 - it's actually brilliant to hold, but I haven't found a surface yet other than a cloth mouse pad (which I hate) that it will actually track on.

Weird. It tracks awesome for me on my Icemat.

Dunno what to tell you... I bought it for work (at the time I was doing a lot of CAD work) and it worked great, right up until one day when it didn't. In retrospect I believe that that is when I bought a Steelseries hard mat and took it to work to give myself a nicer surface to work on, although I did not think of that at the time. Emails to Cyborg/Mad Catz went unanswered. I then took my PMMX to work and took the RAT7 home and threw it in my junk box just in case I got bored enough to try to fix it. (and bought a used Mionix mouse for home use off these august forums.) Then one day on a whim I dragged it out and lo and behold it worked again. At the time I did not have a proper mouse pad at home, so I was using an old notepad instead. (OK, there's two surfaces it works on.) Then I decided to make myself an insert for the keyboard tray of the desk, so I took a piece of Masonite and wrapped it in contact paper and glued shelf liner on the back so it wouldn't slide around. Suddenly my mouse doesn't work again, even though I would have expected the contact paper to provide a near ideal surface. That's when I started testing different surfaces...
I can tell you it does NOT work on: the Steelseries hard pad (after looking online, I think it may be the 9HD?), bare wood, glass, Masonite, Masonite covered with matte clear contact paper, my Kensington combination wrist rest/keyboard tray (looks like black melamine - I wasn't using this at my main desk though because the keyboard tray was too narrow) or pretty much anything that one would want to run a mouse on, *except* for a traditional cloth mouse pad or a piece of white paper. My Performance Mouse MX, Mionix something-or-other, and a really old Logitech cordless mouse that I keep in my laptop bag work on everything on which I've tried them, by comparison.
The whole thing frustrates me because really the only other quibble that I had with the RAT7 was that the thumbwheel didn't side scroll - I was able to "fix" that in Linux but not sure how to do it in Windows. I like that way better than the push the wheel to the side functionality of the Logitech mice - much better control. Ergonomically, it was the BEST mouse I'd ever used - which made it frustrating that it was essentially unusable, at least the way I wanted to use it.
So it works with an Icemat...? It frosts my cookies to have to buy a mouse pad expressly because I have a mouse that is so defective that it will only work on a handful of surfaces, but then again, other than that, it is really good.
(RAT7)
Have you tried cleaning dust off the sensor? PTE sensors until recently were horrible at handling dust, although I would suggest RMAing it since my RAT7 has tracked just fine on any surface I've thrown at it so far, although I'll admit it's not a whole lot.
Also, I would suggest getting an IceMat(known as the I-2 now) either way if you can find one, it is hands down the best pad I've used so far.

yes, I've tried cleaning it repeatedly... it just doesn't work.
I can't RMA it because a) that would mean that I could actually communicate with Cyborg customer service and b) I actually got it used, and probably 2-3 years ago anyway.
I will see if I Micro Center has that pad though... they've started carrying quite a few quality peripherals that used to be you never saw in stores. So much nicer to buy when you can see it before you choose... they've got a nice selection of keyboards too, if they had 5-6 years ago the keyboard selection that they have today, I probably would have just bought something that I liked, and never found GH!
Edit: "no longer available." Amazon still has them though... in pink. And for $40.
I just hate soft cloth pads... they get dirty super fast, come unlaminated, and don't glide nicely... I'm definitely a hard pad kind of guy.
I wonder if a simple piece of frosted glass would work? Maybe I'll try that if I get bored and feel like experimenting... I'd do it now but I don't feel like running to the lumberyard today. You would think that my contact paper "pad" would be roughly equivalent to that though, but clearly the RAT's sensor is a finicky little beast.

THEY MAKE MICE INTO CRAP BY HIRING IDIOTS TO DESIGN THEM. THAT IS ONE OF MANY REASONS WHY MICROSOFT PRODUCTS ARE SUPERIOR.
In terms of shape, I actually didn't mind the Mighty Mouse at all. It was the buttons (or lack thereof), which made it horrid. Also, since there were no dedicated buttons, it wouldn't know with which finger you were clicking with if you had both fingers on both sides, so it would just register the left click if you had your fingers laying on both sides. This meant that you had to consciously lift up the left finger whenever you wanted to use the right click. This was horrible for gaming.
As far as contemporary examples go, in terms of shape only, the worst mice are all the gaming ones from Logitech. G700, G9, G400, and new the G602 are all terrible. I have no idea why they insist on having so many odd curves and angles on all their freakin' gaming mice. It's as if they are suggesting that all of those curves and shapes are required for comfort; it's obviously a marketing move. But in practical use, all those curves and angles make their mice super uncomfortable. You are absolutely forced to hold their mice in one very specific way, but again, in practical use, people need the freedom to hold their mice in different ways and angles; because everybody's hands are different, and the mouse is constantly moving. Why do they think holding the mouse in one very specific form is appropriate, when the hand is required to constantly move to move the mouse, I don't know.
That said, I will say Logitech mice are the best, that I've used of course (there may be other brands out there that I haven't used that may be better), when it comes to build quality. All their mice just feel super solid, and I've never been afraid that one would break over a period of time.
With THAT said, when it comes to quality... I'll agree with everyone, that Razer is absolute ****e. Almost a third of Razer mice I've owned/tried, had issues with a weak/flimsy/creaking body. They just feel... hollow, and all the pieces feel weakly put together. It's a shame, because I absolutely love the design of their Deathadder and Taipan mice.
To me, it doesn't really matter how well built a mouse is, if it is super uncomfortable, so I just deal with the build-quality issues of Razer mice, and just use Razer mice. To me, personally, I think it's easier to just replace a broken/lemon mouse from Razer, and continue using new ones, rather than having a really well built mouse that I can barely use (Logitech). Because in the least, I can still at least use the mice (from Razer).
Yes, I know I'm bitter about Logitech mice. I have just given them way too many tries, and every single time, I'm unsatisfied with the shape of their mice. I guess that's a part of my fault, so... no more Logitech mice for me. Unless I see that they change the way they design their mice.
I don't mind the extra bit of clenching to lift the DA2013 at all. It's required, but it isn't uncomfortable for me.
Right. It is subjective. But by telling me this is subjective, you are implying my subjective experiences are wrong.
Not at all, I'm just telling you that the shapes of Logitech mice are not a marketing move, but a comfort feature, and I'm also just providing another view on the matter so that anyone viewing this thread have the information they need to make an informed decision based on views from both from people who like and dislike the mice.
Vun's right about why Logitech chose a particular shape and stuck with it, with in their range of mice.

QuoteVun's right about why Logitech chose a particular shape and stuck with it, with in their range of mice.
That's exactly my point, though... this is what I wrote in my first post about Logitech:QuoteI have no idea why they insist on having so many odd curves and angles on all their freakin' gaming mice. It's as if they are suggesting that all of those curves and shapes are required for comfort; it's obviously a marketing move. But in practical use, all those curves and angles make their mice super uncomfortable.
They make these odd shapes and curves, as if to imply that they're there on purpose, for "comfort", but after having used them for a long while, and realizing that they are actually uncomfortable, I'm thinking they are not. They are there for marketing; which is evidenced exactly by your post.QuoteNot at all, I'm just telling you that the shapes of Logitech mice are not a marketing move, but a comfort feature, and I'm also just providing another view on the matter so that anyone viewing this thread have the information they need to make an informed decision based on views from both from people who like and dislike the mice.
=D If you believe the shapes of Logitech mice are a comfort feature, aren't I right in saying that it's a marketing move? Yea, it's a "feature", but to me, their shapes are uncomfortable, and I think it's just a gimmick, made to get people to believe it's for comfort, so that they can sell more mice.
But, regardless, we'll have to agree to disagree. You like the design of Logitech mice, I don't like the design of Logitech mice.
Magicmouse requires little explanation, although some might wonder about the G700s; basically it was too heavy, all the weight was in the back while the sensor was in the front, and it did not give me a good enough grip to lift it easily and securely. I absolutely loved all the extra buttons on it, they're brilliantly designed, but for low sens gaming it was incredibly uncomfortable bordering on unusable.
I don't know... are you using a Logitech mouse right now? Which model? Didn't you say you didn't like the G700? This is what you wrote earlier:QuoteMagicmouse requires little explanation, although some might wonder about the G700s; basically it was too heavy, all the weight was in the back while the sensor was in the front, and it did not give me a good enough grip to lift it easily and securely.

Note you didn't just talk about the weight. You talked about how it didn't give you a good enough grip to lift easily and securely, and that's exactly the problems I ran into with the G700, too.
So which Logitech mouse did you find comfortable using for long periods of time? How long have you used it?
I don't know what your definition of "comfort" is... but if a mouse causes fatigue, I'll call it "uncomfortable". =P
Yea... but I don't know. Logitech mice are still more uncomfortable for me. The Deathadder and Taipan been great when it comes to comfort/less fatigue.
And that's ok, I never said you should like Logitech mice either. Different people prefer different shapes. Me, I like most mice and can adapt to different shapes, sizes and sensitivities pretty quick, and I like variation.
Mice in general can't all adapt to every shape of hand currently available amongst the homo-sapien, hence there is no clear cut winner in this forum.

POW, another smack to the gob. Amazing I didn't have to say anything because you typed it already. Not much to argue there at all. Agreed with my description of Razer's rubbish and it's all for everyone to read and contemplate. All Razer did was STEAL the original ergonomic mice from Microsoft had made in the mid-nineties and early 2000's. So YES Razer never could re-design a classic because they're incapable of ever designing anything from scratch but their experts in stealing other companies designs.
Amazing you bi*ch and whine about everyone's assessment yet you kept shooting yourself in the foot by agreeing with everything we said. I own quite a few mice yet I don't crown any one as being the SUPREME mouse for everyone to sell their souls for. What is it that you require from us? You want clarity or hope for something better, you won't. Because that's life, when you get older you will see it and experience it as it really is. Maybe when you do get older and experienced you won't rely on what others say and do, rely upon yourself to make the hard decisions, instead of blaming others for own indecisiveness.
For Christ sake, you want to be forced fed with opinions that only YOU want to hear. You will never get that from me anyway, so get over it 8) .

But in defense of the mouse I would have to say that the Microsoft IntelliMouse 3.0 is not only comfortable but one of the best mouse for gaming out there.

I currently use a Microsoft Basic Optical Mouse V2.0 at homeI have one of these, and also the V1. They seem to have a common problem of the cursor jumping around the screen every once in a while, even if the mouse is stationary. I've experienced this many times on both versions... have you ever noticed it? I'm curious if it only affects certain units or if it's a defect found in each and every one of them.

All of you hating on the Logitech is kinda scary.
While the last Mac mouse I used was one of the old square ones from the late 90's I can't really comment on them as they were the only thing I was exposed to at the time.

I still remember the single button model from the mid to late 80's which had the ADB connector, which I actually liked. They where of course mechanical ball input devices but where extremely comfortable before I got to using anything from Logitech or Microsoft. Yes I started out using Apple Power Computers before I released that Microsoft Computers had even existed at my time in life.
I still lament giving up on Apple Computers but now I still can never go back to them, simply because of my current choice.

I had a couple of those Apple mouses with the clear case (in white and black). The white came with an old iMac G3, and the other, I salvaged from someone throwing it away. I hated that there was no right click. I sold them, as somehow, there are people out there who like them.
Apples were designed not to need a right click. But you could Ctrl-click if you needed one.

A DHL truck stopped by and dropped off a small package consisting of my new RMA'ed Razer 2013 mouse.
I thought about just smashing it under the wheels of my Landcruiser as I reverse down the driveway BUT I figured it would be rude to not test it out on a spare PC in my house.
So I opened the package and sure enough the latest DA 2013 was connected up and of course waiting for Synapse 2.0 to download into my system STILL pisses me off like anything (old Razer-rage).
This time as I waited for their junk bloatware to download I noticed how nice the coating was on this particular mouse compared to the cheapo-lousy one on my previous model. Felt almost Mionix-Like as it felt really nice :o . Of course I need to use the mouse for a few days to really see if anything has changed quality wise with this latest rma model.
I won't put this in the "Good Mouse" section because of the extreme hatred I still have for Razer Corp for selling me useless junk over the years but this latest thing might change my mind, but I doubt it. You Geekhackers know the amount of hatred enlisted against this company for making crappy products over the years 8) .

All of you are putting your ire for mediocre mouse through the juicer to try and squeeze out some genuine contempt, but I'm not convinced any of your mice are worthy of the title Worst Mouse Ever. caseyandgina is onto something with that yoga ball in a dog bowl, that's some hilariously bad stuff... (damn... it's so strange that I think I want one though...) But no, I submit before the jury this awful piece of plastic:Show Image(http://www1.pcmag.com/media/images/87155-monstergecko-pistolmouse-fps.jpg)

That looks very ........ergonomic :p
Well, the R.A.T. is by far the ugliest mouse ever. I hear it's a good mouse though, so....
Oh, and a guy at work uses one of these. It's seriously weird.Show Image(http://ergonomicessentials.com.au/970-home_default/3m-ergonomic-mouse-small-wired.jpg)

I had a job interview once where the boss-to-be made me use his computer to demonstrate coding competency and he had one of these nasty bastards attached. That was the end of that interview, plenty of better employers available, thanks (there were other factors involved).

My previous job also had a bunch of those mouses. Sometimes I had to use it on the users computers. It was especially horrible since my hand didn't fit at all.
Anything made by Microsoft.I lol'ed... As much as I dislike microsoft for certain things, I indeed do give them a lot credit for one of the most legendary mice ever made. The IE3!

I finished the review on the CM Storm Devastator.
There were already plenty of people (who do not have any knowledge about mice) who own that mouse calling me "ignorant" for giving it that score anyways...
I have never bought any CM input devices just yet but I would rather stick with the main players like Razer, Logitech, Roccat and Zowie than waste money on a CM mouse.Roccat or Zowie main players, rekt.

You told the truth what more could be said here. Anyone criticizing you were LOSERS who bought that horrible piece of sh1t and it highlighted their complete stupidity and tight-arse ignorance, hence they were thoroughly embarrassed :p .

all mice are ****.
I seriously wouldn't recommend getting anything made by the European dev team or the chinese stuff, but I can vouch for you that the stuff Carter and his american colleagues make are top-notch.

Thanks for pointing that out to me, I never knew CM was spread about the world like this using different design teams - so horribly. I knew the US crew would shine over all the others simply because they know something about making decent input devices ;) .
Now I've got to get me some US designed mice......
