Tom 14021 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 The best thing to do would be to get an optical mouse that connects through a USB cable. No batteries and they are easier to use by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Better yet, use a Wii remote and LED pen to create a touch screen surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6703 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Wireless mice are perhaps the most stupid extravagance you can buy for a PC. I mean why the fuck do you need it? Honestly?? There was an issue at work a couple of months back when someone was complaining their mouse cursor was moving of its own accord. Turned out 3 people in the same bay had the same wireless mouse and there was no facility to change the frequency on them. Plugged a standard wired mouse in and what do you know? No problems what so ever... I'm led to believe that the same person raised the same fault again the next day... Jokers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its good but I'm sick of buying batteries for it. So I would like a GOOD wired optical mouse instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 99 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I opt for the wireless with a charging station. The old Logitech Mx Laser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just need to find one you're comfortable with I guess.. there's no 'good' or 'bad' mice (providing they move around OK). I think the one I have at work is Microsoft's Intellimouse Optical. I've got used to the 'back' and 'forward' buttons built onto the side of it. At home I've got Dell's equivalent which came bundled with my work laptop - also works a treat.

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I've got a Logitech mouse at work that's got this huge ball on it that you use to move it about instead of moving the mouse. It's great, and it means people can't fuck with my computer becuase it confuses the shit out of them and they can't use it properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some on amazon for around 10-12 quid plus postage. When I said "good" I just meant they scroll well and are fairly solid etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
