Optical Mice

**ian** · 11-30-2003, 09:31 AM

This would have to be my favorite accesory. I use a cheap wheel mouse at work which is hopeless. Nearly bought a wireless mouse, but thought I would probably get sick of the batteries running out and it probably servers no useful purpose being wireless.

yeah, optical mice are a cool invention. i have to clean my logitec mouseman wheel mouse at least once a week, because it starts to collect enough dirt to where it is noticeable in its function. i got a cheap MS optical mouse for my laptop, and it's great.

not quite sure what my favourite accessory would be though. *shrug*

PS: ian, where is my smily?

I like my optical mouse too. I asked for one at work and they laughed because they thought I was joking... I wasn't.

Never tried a wireless before. Being at this forum 2 minutes and I've already got a couple items on my Christmas list

Optical mice are the best. When without a mousepad just use your thigh or chest...They work too.

We spend millions and millions of dollars at work, and they skimp on a 30 dollar mouse....

LOL
Optical mice are nice....
But wiresless aren't very good, particualrly because in most cases, they could easily get messed - up a lot of things could interfier with their signal, and they act like they have slow refresh rate. Either that or they actually have a slow refresh rate. and I dont' get the use for it anyway - what are you, going to use your mouse 10ft away from your monitor?

i would kinda like a wireless keyboard though. i have only used one wireless mouse thus far and it seemed to work just fine. it was a logitech.
