I used to love my R.A.T. 9 until the second mouse failure brought its use to a halt. Now I switched to a G700 from Logitech and I have to say it works great.

4 thumb buttons that, now that I am used to them, work great. Three extra buttons near the main mouse button (1) and then one more in the middle below a button that switches the wheel from a step to a smooth roll. Also, the middle wheel has the left & right scroll ability that adds 2 more keystrokes/macros/buttons to the mix as well.

The only problem with the G900 - and actually most PC based mice, is that Windows 7 seems to only support 5 mouse buttons. Anything more and you have to bind the button to a keystroke. I'd really like to see direct support on a OS level of all 13+ buttons. Otherwise I am trying to find keys on my keyboard to bind to (which I don't always want to do). This is less of a WoW issue and more for my art apps like Photoshop. Complex software has so many hot keys that finding an empty binding can be a real chore at times.
