TrackPoint IV. Still the best version of the TrackPoint, 15 years later.

Do you want a separate nomination of the rollermouse free, or is the rollermouse family ok? Both might water down votes.

Razer DeathAdder Black Edition
I upgraded to this from my Logitech g9x earlier this year and it has been one of the most amazing switches I've made, both ergonomically and precision wise. I realized I'm more of a claw grip user and it's really improved some performance for me.

Madcatz R.A.T. 7, hands down the most comfortable mouse I have ever used. Once I figured out all the right adjustments, going back to my razer felt so uncomfortable. Also the pinky rest is pure genius.

No Gaming Pad so far?
Microsoft Xbox360 Controller Limited Edition in silver.
Smooth surface but somehow still grippy, better analog sticks than reguler 360 Controller, changeable digital pad, wireless, appealing colours (at least to me), works great with windows (duh!?), all the new games support it, rechargable battery and wireless(if you have an wireless USB adapter)
