Default What's a good wireless mouse for work?

I currently own a Logitech MX5000 Bluetooth Keyboard & Mouse Combo, and I got it for a deal on eBay for like $80, if I remember correctly.

I've since gotten absolutely spoiled with wireless, and I'm looking for a good mouse for work. I was a little more picky with my setup at home than I will be at work, since I play games and stuff at home, but work is going to be a more utilitarian use.

Bluetooth isn't as much of a concern, and I'm not really interested in getting a wireless keyboard. I'm just tired of having to pull slack for the mouse cable. I do really like the shape of my current MX Laser mouse, as well as the sensitivity the laser offers. It really conforms to my hand well. So I'm leaning toward the MX/VX line, so far. I'm not crazy about the miniature mice for notebooks and such. I like a mouse than can accomodate my entire hand. I'm not looking to spend too much, but I'm willing to go as high as the $50-$80 range. Of course, if I can find something I like in the cheaper range, that's even better.

So bring on the suggestions. I have three in my wish list on newegg so far, so you can see what direction I'm heading in. Thanks in advance for the help!!!!

Logitech G7. An excellent mouse, good for gaming to normal work.

Battery lasts 24 hours (I've heard, it depends on the batteries used).

Two more things to add:

Please provide a link so I don't have to look all over the web for it.

I would like something that's rechargeable, although it is not a necessity.

Thanks again!

The G7 has it's own battery packs (you get two), and it comes with a charging station.

Rep+ for low strife for helping, I added it to my wish list for consideration.

Is one suggestion from one person the best OCN can do? Help me out here, people!

The guy that works to the cubicle next to me (i use a Mx air, great, but expensive) uses a logitech mx revolution. It is THE most comfortable thing i have ever used. Its wireless and has a #(@& load of buttons and scroll wheels.

UPDATE: I bought an MX Revolution from eBay. It was refurbished and only cost me $46 shipped. It's AWESOME. I kind of like it better than the one I have at home. The wheel spins freely, like a front wheel on a bicycle! It's awesome. Thanks to low_strife and pyranite (Rep+ BTW) for the help!
