I'm just not sure there needs to be a "next level" here.
There are a few distinct variations on the mouse. For example, the 3D mouse, Apple's Magic Mouse, or perhaps a variation on the ergonomic mouse, and let's not forget the trackball mouse.
But, lots of people have tried to make a "next level" mouse without anything really catching on. Also consider how many programs have hotkeys that don't involve a mouse. Lots of power users on all types of systems (definitely including Windows) avoid touching the mouse if they don't have to, as it adds up as wasted time throughout the day.
Instead of trying to design something that everyone else would use, let's start trying to find the problem that you appear to be trying to solve. And to do that, let's start with your day-to-day. What actions do you perform in your normal day-to-day that you feel like would make more sense to move to the mouse? Do you already use an "MMO Mouse" with 20 buttons? If not, this might be the way forward for you.
I find that most people who still use a mouse are either in a workplace environment or they are playing computer games. Note that lots of people casually browsing the internet at home (not playing PC games, and not actively working) aren't even using a mouse at all.
I've got a Logitech Performance MX that I really like a lot. One thing it does that's cool is that the scroll wheel has detents so you can "click" up or down like you're used to, but you can unlock it so it spins freely, which can be handy in drawing. It's durable - I've had it for many years, cleaned it with antiseptic wipes many times, still working like a champ, and the rubber hasn't gone bad (gotten tacky) like on a lot of mice.
However
If you're looking for the best mouse just for Cinema4d, the Connexion3d is freaking amazing! Absolute total 3d control that feels very natural. I can't work in Cinema4d without it any more.
(One caveat if you get one and just leave it active - if you're working on something else and your mouse just goes haywire, make sure you didn't set anything on top of the 3d mouse...)
