I'm hoping that some of you will have suggestions. I know these tend to be for gaming, but I want to use one for video editing. Wireless is a must as I have been using plain and simple wireless mice for ages now and can't imagine going back.

Apart from the left and right buttons and scroll wheel, I need 4 extra buttons to assign single keystrokes to in the hope this will eliminate the keyboard for the majority of my editing. Don't mind a few more, but I've seen some with 20 buttons and I think I'd get lost!

I've read some rubbish reviews of the R.A.T 9 and some OK reviews of the Logitech G700. What are my other options? Razer Mamba?

Don't always take reviews as what they say unless its a professional one. You tend to find people will complain at a small problem, but will leave nothing if everything is working fine.

As the saying goes "We swear blind at a red light when in a rush but do not celebrate the green ones"
 
G700 is a good mouse, wanting wireless your options are limited but I think you'd be happy with the Logitech.
 
Logitech G700 seems like the best bet. I've tried it in a shop, and it is quite tall (mainly because it has to hold the battery) but was quite a comfortable mouse.
I'm still deciding myself between a G700 or Kone XTD after sending my SS Sensei back :p
