GODDAMNIT MOUSE.

Anything by Logitech is generally a good bet. I got fed up of the trackpad on my laptop as well and bought a cheap USB optical mouse, a Logitech M100, for around £5. It may not have the fancy extra buttons my desktop mouse (also a Logitech, though the model escapes me at the moment) has, but I have no complaints and for a mere fiver it was well worth it.
Goddamn it...as much money as I paid for this Razer mouse it should damn well jiggle like that >_<Jedamethis said:
I find it very funny that the guy with the cat avatar is complaining about a dead mouse. Just because dang, man, I love coincidences.
But on-topic, I've been using a generic, $20-$30 dollar Logitec optical mouse for a few years now and it hasn't screwed me up. A few times (like once a month or something) the camera will jiggle or the signal gets blipped or something and for half a second the mouse just spazzes the hell out on screen. But that's a figment of this being a somewhat older mouse that's seen a lot of use.
Unless you're a hardcore gamer who needs all the big peripherals, just a $20 or $30 optical mouse is perfect for most uses. If you want you can shell out another $20 or so for a wireless battery charged mouse and get rid of an extra cord, since being a laptop you'd probably have to end up winding the cord up to keep it manageable.

That's why we keep a few spares. Although the current one in use (at the computer I'm on right now):
Is superb. I don't expect this to die out anytime soon.

Go for something fairly cheap, but effective and nice to use.
Currently using:
Logitech m500 (seems to be more expensive than when I got mine...)
Has a rather nice feature where you can switch the roller from click-click-click mode to smooth mode. Something that never gets old for me.
I'd also recommend
Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 4.0, which continues the tradition of down-to-earth mice and keyboards being the ONLY thing Microsoft are good at. Assuming you can find one. It might have been discontinued.
They're a little more expensive than baseline mice, but you will notice the difference, and they'll last a lot longer.

Good thing I still haven't bought one yet then. TO THE AMAZON TO LOOK AT THIS MOUSESmashLovesTitanQuest said:
I have a 4d gaming mouse and I'm not even joking
Haven't worked out how to use the 4th dimension yet, though.

When my last mouse died, or more accurately when the batteries and/or receiver died and I became sick of wireless mice, I bought a Logitech LS1 Laser Mouse.
It's cheap and cheerful, but it's really precise and is one of the best mice I've ever used. It may only have 2 buttons and a tilt wheel, but it's easy to grip, comfortable to use, works on most surfaces without a mat and seems to excel at anything I use it for (including games).
As a quick replacement mouse for a tenner, you can't really go wrong with it and it would serve you well until you decided to buy a more expensive mouse with lots of buttons and flashing lights, if you ever decide you want one of those.

Seriously. It's got Teflon feet and 3500DPI!
It's soooo comfortable to use, fits perfectly in my hand, the buttons have that special *clicky clicky* that quality mice tend to have!
Ohh, and the mousewheel and Razer logo glows BLUE!. The logo pulses every 6 seconds. Really neat
The driver software also allows you to sotumize the mouse the way you want. You can shift between 5 fully costumizeable profiles that you can costumize the way you want to!
Also that... pretty neat.Anti Nudist Cupcake said:
