Been using one for a couple years now

 

Very comfortable for right handed people. Stylish (love the glowing scroll wheel). Being optical, I never get the wheel jitter

If you're a lefty, you might as well ignore this one. Drivers are hard to get to. When I switched to Windows XP, I some interesting quirks (scroll wheel only working sometimes)
