Mouse for treatment planning system

Ok, here's a less ordinary question:

What kind of a mouse do you use for your treatment planning system?

Contouring involves working with the mouse for a long period of time.
In my previous clinic we used a graphics tablet with an electronic pen, but in my current clinic we only use a mouse.
It's a laser, wireless mouse from Microsoft, but I am not really satisfied with it. The contours are not very smooth and when I tried an older cable-mouse from Logitech, I found it even worse.

Is there any mouse you would suggest to buy?
I was thinking of getting a gaming mouse, since they are considered to be very accurate and quite quick in their response times.

I like Logitech G series gaming mice. They're awesome for games like Counterstrike and Left 4 Dead.

Ask them for an upgrade to the tablet (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20978922 ). We have 2 we use for resident contouring. After 3 years, it pains me to contour with a mouse now....

I can't get this by my grant manager, but the Logitech MX518 is really precise, fits the (right) hand very well, and has a button that toggles the sensitivity so it is very easy to toggle between fine and course mouse movements. I do a lot of graphic editing work, and it has been my go-to wired mouse for years.

For a wireless set I recommend the Logitech MX5500 Revolution Bluetooth Keyboard/Mouse. It is pricey, but every bit as responsive as wired gear. It looks really slick too. When I was deciding whether to buy one I noticed the chairman of surgery happened to have one in his office. I used this excuse to get THIS ONE by the grant manager.

Why any high end computer peripheral has to have the term "gaming" thrown in so I can't spend grant money on it I will never know.

Yes. Our hospital went out and got Logitech G9x's for all of the computers and they seem to work well.

Xbox 360 Kinect.

I get a really good workout, especially when contouring individual loops of small bowel.

All I can say is skip the wireless mice. All the ones that I have used have way too much latency to contour effectively.
