I've found that logitech is an excellent brand for pointer devices. Personally, though I can't stand mice, wired or not. I've got a wireless trackball that has behaved flawlessly for me and I love it. I don't know why, but trackballs are becoming less and less popular and very hard to find...so my hubby actually stocked up on these and I've got a spare in the closet for when this one eventually wears out.
