I've had some quality issues with them, but their support has been so 
incredible that I keep going back to them.

My favorite mouse seems to never get any press: the Gyration Ultra 
cordless.  It's really solid (unlike some Microsoft and Logitech 
products) and has one extra killer feature, namely that it works in

My Aeron sitting experience has been limited to a total of one hour 
across my entire lifetime, and I thought it was pretty nice.  Trolls
