    Default What mouse is best?

    Wondering what mouse people use for Photoshop? Pros and cons? I sometimes have problems with mine when working on fine details and would love suggestions...

    I use high DPI logitech gaming mice, makes it much easier to draw contours and select the feather edges

    Isaac, I stopped using a mouse for most Photoshop work a year or two ago. I now use a graphics tablet/digitiser. It's much, much easier to use and control the cursor/brush/selection point position. It's possible to spend a lot of money buying one of these and bigger is better. However, I spent about $50 (Australian = $40 US) on an 8x6 inch Huion tablet on ebay. It works extremely well and has the added advantage that with brush-based tools (eg, Healing Brush tool), the brush increases in size with pen pressure. You might want to look at that option too?

    Oh, in case you are interested in going this way, there are plenty of reviews out there. Here's one I found a short time ago:

    There is no better input device for LR and PS than a Wacom tablet IMO. Mice are clunky by comparison.

    The default Wireless mouse which comes with Apple iMac works just fine for Photoshop, you can buy a good extra large gaming mousepad to increase the accuracy.
