A nice mouse is...well...nice. Yeah, it can get a little spendy when you tally it all up, but having seen both sides, I can say it is worth it. A nice mouse is…well…nice.

Without a good pad it won't function optimally.Gaming pads that are not cloth-based (i.e. textured plastic or glass) usually provide the best feedback and control. The only drawback is that none of them I've seen come with integrated wrist rests so that has to be separate.

They are often VERY comfortable and not much more expensive than any other nice mouse. Also, for Photoshop users (or people who have similar requirements), you can almost always scale the resolution up or down without using any menus or typical sensitivity settings. A popular brand like Razer has quite reliable mice, and several of which are neutrally styled. As for mice, I don’t disagree with your recommendation at all, but another idea is using gaming mice.

It had a built-in wrist rest and a flip-down on the space bar side of the keyboard which allowed your wrist to be level, but they quit making it that way after the first one. I hope mine never wares out. I like Microsoft’s ergo (split-apart) keyboard, only the very first one.
