We need a new mouse. Recommendations?

[Mom-to-3]

After 5 faithful years, our Gateway mouse is dying. I've cleaned it thoroughly, but I think the components are worn out.

What kind of mouse do you have? (Assuming you like it )

 

[oogieboogie]

I have a variety of mice:

an optical trackball at work from Logitech
and optical mices at home from Logitech

I like Logitech's products having used them for years now. The best recommendation I could give is to go optical.

I don't really like the wireless ones since they seem to suck tons of battery life out of them.

I found one in my cabinent today. It was eating crackers.

MICKEY!

I agree with Oogie. Go optical. They're not expensive, and way more sensitive to movement than the balls of the past

I replaced my Gateway mouse with Logitech optical mouse last year. I love it and recommend it---and it has a nice range in pricing.

Optical mouses are really afforadable now.

The Microsoft Intellimouse line is quite good.

I especially like the extra buttons for web browsing.

My sister had one too but it already died...of starvation. She found it in the bottom of her washing machine.

Yes, Logitech optical mouses (or any for that matter) are a vast improvement over the roller-and-ball style. Never need a mousepad, precise tracking, and also makes a cool red glow across the keyboard.

I like my laptop's trackpad as well, but it's an expensive desktop item.

I will probably start a war with this, but I thought of Jerry first, Mickey second and then Mighty third. But if we had the Disney channel way back then, Mickey probably would have been first!
