Depending on whether I have room for a mouse or not I would prefer to use a mouse. Currently I am using a Microsoft wireless mouse but I would prefer a Logitech wireless mouse. If I have no room for a mouse my preferred pointing device is the trackpoint. Having only received my X41 a little more than a month ago, I very much prefer the flat cap on the trackpoint as opposed to the curved one.

Ah, I'm not the only person who games with a TrackPoint, then... :D

I actually am better in Unreal Tournament with this than I am with a mouse. (Trackballs and touchpads do NOT get along with me, though.)

I'm waiting for a sale on the V400. Looks like a great mouse. Wish the forward and back buttons were a little further back on the mouse though.
