I'm buying a new iMac in 2 weeks. I'll be running XP with Bootcamp for most of my non-Mac gaming (unfortunately).

I'm also getting a Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard

Can't decide bewtween 3 mice?

1)Logitech VX Revolution

2) Logitech G9

3) Microsoft Sidewinder

I'd like some advice / opinions from anyone owning or used any of these mice. Or anyone with better ideas.

My 1st two games I'll be buying is Unreal Tournament 3 and Serious Sam 2.

I'd use the Mighty Mouse that comes with your Mac, but if you must buy a new mouse, then I'd go for the Logitech VX Revolution since the other two look hideous, in my opinion.

What do you mean it doesn't make any difference? They are different mice, two different manufacturers & built for different purposes.

I'll be using my Mighty Mouse everyday, the other I want to buy for gaming.

I'm using a Razer Pro Razer Pro|Solutions™ - Professional Precision Peripherals - Pro|Click™ v1.6 High Precision Mouse and I'm pretty happy with it.

VX Revolution is what I'd pick out of your choices.

I haven't used any of those, but the Logitech MX Revolution is a treat. The Mighty Mouse is garbage.
