Wireless Mouse... worth it?
 

worth the money or not?

I love my wireless mouse and could never go back to a corded one!

Mine died on me after 1 year. and they are not cheap.

I switched to a wireless mouse and keyboard (Microsoft, came as a dual pack) on my three new machines bought this year. I did not like it at first, now I love it. I still use a wired mouse on my main machine however.

I do not care for changing the batteries every couple of months. But I always have plenty on hand in the house so it is not that big a deal. Just a routine annoyance.

:2 cents:

Would never use anything else.

would never go back to corded

I don't like them just because of the weight, so I think its really personal preference.

i don't find it necessary for desktops but it seems to be all they sell anymore.

I was also thinking on getting one of those...

Wireless shit is okay UNLESS you're a gamer. Then you might as well be throwing money down the toilet.

Only if you're playing FPS games competitively... and now adays they really aren't that bad...

Anyway I highly recommend:

The battery lasts so long I forget to charge it, and it's so comfortable any time I pickup someone else's mouse I immediately remember how much I love this thing...

Great buy and if you spend as many hours as I do on the computer, worth its weight in gold.

I've trashed so many wireless mice playing games it's not even funny. Not just FPS either. RTS, RPG, you name it. I'm brutal on mice. Trashed a few keyboards too lol. :thumbsup

Maybe it's just me, but the ones I've used in the past always seem to have just a *slight* millisecond delay on it that drives me crazy. The cord never bothers me so it's hard to justify the inconvenience of batteries.

Wouldnt use anything else ! I've been using the logitech laser nano mouse its the nuts !
It has a tiny usb dongle that doesnt get in the way and the batteries last for ages I highly recommend it to you as I have done to others

Try Logitech

I have 3 sets of cordless keyboards and mice for all my desktops...would never think of going back to corded. Get ones that have a charging station then you avoid having to change the batteries.

ok... I'm buying myself a wireless mouse... in this new office setup the cord has been bugging me and I keep having to pull on it since my computer is now very low compared to my desk.

I really like mine!

Def get a keyboard and mouse combo.

The one below is amazing...bluetooth too

:thumbsup

I do a lot of typing during the day and I've gotten used to this old keyboard already. would hate to have to get used to a new one. But the mouse, yes, that has to go!

I had one once till I tossed it out the window:Oh crap

Well if it had a cord you would still have it :1orglaugh

I have an old logitech wireless keyboard and mouse combo. Mouse comes with rechargeable's, kb uses normal double A batteries (and they last years).
Two thumbs up :thumbsup :thumbsup

I had one and didn't like it. I had a nice Microsoft one, it was always giving me trouble. I don't mind the cord, and it ALWAYS works and is nicely responsive. But then again I kinda like what I get used to. I have had the same style mouse for almost 8 years.

To me the cord isnt much more intrusive than having some dongle poking out of the side of my machine or a docking station. I don't know why you would get one for a desk top. I mean, fuck, your not going anywhere anyway.

LMAO. you almost made me spit out my coffee.

I would lose it if I had a wireless. Sad but true.

Agreed, that tiny hint of a delay really screws with me. I have a Revolution MX sitting in the closet collecting dust.

Funniest line i read today! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

not a fan of wireless mouses

i am fan of old mouses with out wheels :D

most definitely. just missing a wire but it feels better.

get an optical mouse, so smooth and no dirt clogging the ball.
they have a bright LED underneath so I don't think you can get them wireless as it would drain the battery. mine was $10, small and light, nothing to them. doesn't work much on my woodgrain desk so I use a sheet of paper for a mouse pad.

need corded for gaming

I use a corded mouse and keyboard. They don't make wireless mice with charging stations or something to get around the replacing battery issue?

I have an Apple one and love it

been using it on my laptop for a few yrs, :thumbsup

I'm surprised there are still people using corded mice :upsidedow

Not worth the money. I had a wireles mouse. I hated having to change batteries for it. More convinient just to have a regular mouse, and not worry about changing batteries for the mouse.

After your cat eat one of your wired mouse.. yes :thumbsup

Yes of course, mine has that and it's quite old now. It's optical, wireless, nickel metal hydride, recharging station on the usb hookup. Easy as pie.

Here's the current lineup: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/ke...mbos/&cl=us,en

btw: I've never bought new batteries for it yet.

I have an older logitech and love it. You will change the batteries on it twice a year maximum. It works on wood and any surface as long as it isn't white.

Get a good expensive one ($65-80) that helps the posture of your hand.


This is what I use and it has helped a lot.

Yes wireless is the way to go. I love my Logitech MX Revolution

Changed mine for a wireless yesterday.. Love it so far :)

Love my mouse/keyboard combo. Go with the ergonomic wireless keyboard too. Sooo nice.

couldn't stand that shit, bought one and used it about 2 hours: high-precision bullshit, it takes you like 2 minutes to point and click, I would greatly recommend it if you want to be able to click on pixel No2, No12 and No345 on your screen, but for everything else use a normal mouse

could be the model that I purchased, but I'm not buying another one of those for at least five years

logitech all the way...

i used to work for them and once i tried their products i havent found anything better....ive been wireless for about 10yrs...would never go back to a cord...

you dont HAVE to get a keyboard & mouse combo with logitech products...

as for gaming, never ever had a problem with my keyboard or mouse (also buy the logitech mouse that is rechargable...a single charge can last days if you forget to put it back in its craddle)...

I have that one. I have actually worn holes in the rubber on the side of it.

Buy a good one not a cheapie and you will never go back to cords.
