Forget editing with a mouse. Get a pen and a graphics pad. Any mouse is too crude to do any real exacting editing.
I guide my mouse against the fingers of my free hand. It works very well when you’re in close to an edge.

Looking for good mouse for photo editing with Lightroom and macroom pro ? Any ideas ? Thanks
I use a Logitech G602 Wireless Gaming Mouse. The mouse has the ability to refine the DPI of the cursor speed which allows for more glandular and precise movement of the cursor.

Wacom tablet and the programmable stylus. Skip the mouse if you want accuracy and good ergonomics.
I use an old Wacom tablet that keeps on ticking but there are less expensive alternatives. Check out the Huion tablets.

Logitech and Corsair make the best mouses. Get one with a :Sniper Button" When pressed it changes the resolution of the mouse movement and allows for fine adjustment. I think mine is a Corsair M65.

A Wacom tablet is the only way to go. Put the mouse in a drawer and excursively use the Wacom pen.

My current mouse is a Logitech G403. It is a gaming mouse. I like trackballs, but prefer blue Laser mice. Also. for precision, never use a cordless mouse, they respond to slow for me.

Back in the '90s my desk was always full of papers. I had trouble finding a clear spot for the mouse. So I went to a trackball. Same control, no space needed beyond the footprint of the trackball. You don't move it around, you move the ball with your thumb or other finger.
Recently I got a Logitech trackball. It has a button that switches between regular motion and fine motion for precise movements. The fine motion is ideal for dealing with editing photos. I don't recall the model but when I get home I'll look.

Lots of replies with good suggestions. Nobody asked what type of computer you use.

In the original post you said Lightroom, which to me is not that precision of an environment, so I'm wondering why the pros are suggesting a tablet. As far as I've experienced the adjustments are mostly sliders and you can type the exact number if you want or click in the number box and roll the values left or right. The adjustment brush has a feather setting and 'automask' so it is doing some of the work for you. If you are not a pro or as good as a pro would someone benefit much in Lightroom with a tablet? I am honestly asking the pros' reasoning behind suggesting it.
Photoshop can do more with responding to pressure and building up airbrush like effects and probably things I've not even imagined possible yet, so I'd see the value of a tablet there, though I haven't 'graduated' to one yet.
