what is the best mouse for photoshop


My total tool base consists of cs5/cs2 wacom tablet (bamboo) small one, Nikon dslr camera, used to have Topaz uninstalled it as i hardly used it - all i need is built into photoshop.
So no i don't lie that is all i have and that is all i want.

P.S. thanks for 'compliment' i think?:wink:
 
thanks mate ill google them up now

money isnt really that much of a concern to me , i generally pay more for the better products , so a bamboo tablet or the 360 dollar wacom intuos 5 , i generally go the better product because i regret it if i dont and end up owning both lol

my next question is small or medium , i work off a 500 dollar acer 5742 laptop , im not a gamer so no point in buying a 1800 dollar lap top this does all i need ,i only use the touch pad for ps so far , i love photoshop a lot so im actually debating getting another desktop and large screen , i generally work on the couch while watching telly with my wife

so seeing i dont like spending money where i dont need to is the intuous 5 worth double the money then the bamboo if so ill go that
way
 
just googled pccasegear , 429 and ebay has them from around 380 , to be honest most of my purchases are on ebay now and i rarely see better prices
 
ooops my bad , just had an after thought and remembered small medium large , it was a large one so it was good value , back to pccasegear to search a medium
 
biggest reason for the Intuous 5 is the extra buttons (for keyboard shortcuts) I wish I had spent the extra....I like the large bamboo
 
Pccasegear used to have mediums for around $300, it's a bit of a bummer that they only have large and bamboo.

I have an adli tablet and it's rubbish, it doesn't even work properly in win 8 as it stutters the pen movement. I kinda wished I bought a bamboo or small Intuous 5. Maybe one day.
 
Hey i like to use the Cyborg MMO 7 mouse (which should be in your budget) i like to use it because of the programmable buttons and the ability to change mouse sensitivity at the click of a button you can find more info about it here: http://www.cyborggaming.com/prod/mmo.htm also when i am not using my mouse i like to use the Wacom Intuos 5 (maybe slightly outside of your budget but certainly worth the investment) http://uk.shop.wacom.eu/products/intuos?sCoreId=35d0623ec0d2bd8159de6646d75419f7
 
Have you seen one of these Huion tablets - really very cheap and reviewed well among those who are used to them - I have it and have found it very good but have nothing to compare except a Bamboo and it knocks that into thr proverbial cocked hat.
 
3D Mouse

The least known companion for Photoshop is a 3D mouse. Photoshop CS6 Extended has powerful 3D capabilities and a 3D Mouse is the best way to work with 3D objects in Photoshop. It makes 3D editing feel second-nature and speeds up your workflow. This knob can also be used to rotate, zoom in/out, or set to another feature of your choice. Currently, the only company making 3D mouse is 3DConnexion. Their spacenavigator can be yours for $100.

Never heard of this!
 
iDad, it's interesting you mentioned that particular Logitech. About 6 months ago, my old mouse died and I bought a new one. That's almost exactly the one I have, and I LOVE it. The only difference, as far as I can tell, is that I went with wired instead of wireless.

Great recommendation!

That's the latest I have to say I love it, it doesn't compare to tablets but if you're going to go mouse in my opinion that's the way to go
