I now use a Logitech G9x and its my first ever "decent" mouse. I'm heavily considering trading it with either a Mionix NAOS 3200/5000, a Apple Magic/Wireless Mighty Mouse, or the Logitech G700. Right now, I'm leaning more towards the Mionix, but I am still not sure. I never tried the G700 and I find the G9x tends to hurt my hand after a while.
Ive been using this Logitech mx620 for about 2 years on my MacPro, It works well, feels good in the hand but it's due to be updated, don't know what to look at next though, I used to love the old mighty mouse till the scroll ball stopped responding..........every other day.

That looks like you'd need 10 fingers to use it....I'm not really a gamer anymore, but I'm guessing that's what you use it for?
rat
tbh the mouse looks really weird lol but after a couple weeks of heavy gaming use, i am really liking it... if you can get over the rather alien look out of box, it's a phenomenally responsive mouse and the ability to physically customize the dimensions to custom fit your hand is amazing
i've used lots of diff gaming mouses over the yrs ie. Logitech, Razer etc. but this RAT is def one of my fav... my hands are really small so it was pretty cool to be able to change the physical dimensions of the mouse lol

I mostly use this:
Apple Magic Mouse (got for christmas from my brother, who got it from his hotel's lost and found. someone left it there last summer and never bothered to go back for it.)
I bought a Magic trackpad over a year ago, every once in a while I break that out for fun. If I ever want to do serious photo stuffs, I whip out the Intuos 4 I got back when they were selling their anniversary bundle.

I've just got the same thing for my iMac. Thing is I'm really struggling with the patchy performance from the OSX cyborg software. One minute I have buttons working how I like them, next minute it drops out and defaults to a 3 button, or just whatever the last profile mode it was in. I end up logging out and in to get it to work.
(software 1.1.28)
Then, to make it worse I found the latest (BETA 1.1.30) drivers and it completely butchered the profile editor so it crashes every time - I cannot use the mouse now!!
Even after uninstall and return to '28 drivers, same problem.
I have a Deathadder for my G5:
It's very comfortable for me but it registers single clicks as doubles quite frequent if it isn't regularly maintained.
Then I have a Logitech G500 for my HP:
It's also comfortable and very precise. I love that I can press a button to make the scroll wheel "loose", so that I can scroll down a long site with just one spin. It too have begun to register single clicks as doubles but it only happens once a month or so.

Two microsoft mice for gaming and work PCs
the right one is the one I use with my Macbook Air, I really am forcing myself to get used to the trackpad as I do love it, it's just old habits... so I bought this online for 8 dollars, cheapest and smallest bluetooth mouse I could find - and it's seriously great!
I have this in 2 different colors, 1 red and in this grey color. Grey is for my MBP, red for my desktop PC. I love it.
Not my photo, but you get the idea.
I had an old (dead) ADB Brick lying around, a cheap optical mouse, and a frayed Apple 30Pin cable. Add those up, but them in a blender and this is what you get!
Mine is less faded, but other than my MacBook Pro's trackpad, this is what I use.
