A more serius question about mice?

kobaj · 11-21-2005, 04:07 AM

Ya the loading thread was fun but now I got a few more questions.

1. Whenever I press ctrl on my keyboard, my mouse suddenly has rings around it. Now I have done my research and have found out it is for "finding my mouse pointer". Well its pissing me off, I have googled and found a couple of guides stating to go into my control panel>mouse and then tab over to someting and then there would be a button "when ctrl is pressed find mouse". One problem, there isnt that tab, or that button. None, enywhere in my mouse settings. So is there anther place I can turn this annoing "mouse finder" off? Oh and I have windows xp.

2. Christmas is comming up and for a gift for my brother I was looking for a nice keyboard and mouse. The problem, he is a gamer but he needs a wireless one. Are there eny good wireless gaming keyboards and mice for about 50 bucks. I know there probibly isnt much for that price but it doesnt hurt to ask.

Thanks.

do you have a driver installed for your mouse? i had a driver installed for my logitech optical mouse, and it messed up my mouse properties, so i uninstalled the driver and the properties returned to normal. maybe you could try doing this??

hmm there are probably no good wireless gaming mice for under 50. i may be wrong tho. they only good wireless gaming mice i can think of is the logitech g7(its a wireless mouse thats ment for gaming) and thats $100 retail but $74 on newegg. and as for keyboard really any is good as long as its comfortable but you would have to worry about it being wireless becuase its not too reliable.

i found these two. the second is a little over budget though, but still a good price.

Yes it is logitech drivers that are messing it up, but when I try and unistall them the original mouse screen does not return just the logitech one.

I do like logitech, I am using the "logitech click!" at the moment and I enjoy it. Although I think he likes squarer(?) keyboards and more "hand shaped" mice than the LX300.

OMG, I was trying to do it through device manager, why didnt I think of that. Thank you its fixed now.

With the keyboard, I was looking at newegg and saw this one, It appears to be what he would like. But how much would it be non refurbished? Enyone had eny experiance with this one? Is there something like it cheaper?

EDIT: Its looking to be on the exspencive side ($70-$90). That LX300 is looking better and better, except the mouse looks uncomfortable.
