I Need a New Mouse

F · Post by F » Mon Mar 27, 2006 9:54 pm

I got an optical (corded) mouse a few years back, and it's acting strangely. For a few weeks, it has been left-clicking and middle-clicking when I press the left mouse button, which can get fairly frustrating when navigating tabs. We had an old wireless mouse laying around the house that I decided to try out (not optical), but the horizontal movement doesn't work at all on it.

And the point of this topic: I need some advice on finding a good mouse. I'm looking for a wireless, optical mouse that can be recharged through USB. I'd like a fairly nice one, but I don't want to spend tons of money on it. Can you guys help me out?

Im guessing anything Logitech or Microsoft will do

Actually, the mouse that middle-clicks when I don't want it to is a Logitech.

I have a Microsoft Bluetooth IntelliMouse Explorer Mouse and Keyboard, and it works great.

But I got it from a friend, free.

In other words: it retails for $110.

If you want wireless: No! Click Me! Click Me!

Being an Mac user... I have to suggest a Mighty Mouse-

I have one, and it's extremely awesome, but some people are just picky

Well the obvious choice is to get an MX518.

or the newer varient, the G5 (If you can spare an extra few bucks):

Here's one that doesn't need a battery: http://www.memoryexpress.com/index.php? ... =5268&SID=
The mousepad generates the electricity!

P.S. The website above is Canadian and hence it is in Canadian dollars.

I love macs and all, and have used a mighty mouse, and I must say that it is one of the worst mice that I have ever used.

i sorta hate my Mighty Mouse too. I have to take it apart to clean the wheel a lot, and the cursor jumps around the screen... as far as the using the ball goes, it's great.
