New Mouse ???

[Mike]

Hi all

I am after a 'new mouse' to replace my old MS one.

Like the idea of having one with a scroll wheel....................any recommendations for a supplier and make.

Thanks

Mike

I've got a Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical. It is USB but comes with a convertor. I've never had any problems with it, infact each of my systems have got one (3).

Masses to choose from these days.

Probably a good idea to go down to PCWorld and see how they fit in your hand!

I have several but my current favourite is a simple Logitech Optical Scroll mouse that was about £20 a few months ago. I don't think you'ld go far wrong with a Logitech.

If you want to go wireless, I would suggest one with a recharging station - my last wireless didn't and it ate AAA batteries

You will probably find good prices at your local Tesco, otherwise www.Novatech.co.uk or www.Savastore.com.

aldi are doing what looks to be a damned fine wireless keyboard and mouse ( 5 buttons and scroll ) for £15

Personally I'm using a MS Optical 4 Button Wheel Mouse.......

And am less than impressed, spontanious scroll which is not handy when playing first person shooters. having to reseat the usb connection occasionally on boot-up as the mouse disappears.

Next time I build, I'll not be buying any MS hardware.....

I purchased a MS optical one, and I hated it!! - the wheel doesn't click as you turn it like my others do - so It's in the garage now!

the feeling was just so awful.

PS. If you do have optical don't use an image of the london underground as a mousemat!

Microsoft Intellimouse Optical

IMHO mice are one product that Microsoft does well. Good shape, feel and reliable. My last Intellimouse (with a ball) must have lasted since 1997. It still works but the scroll wheel is a little stiff so I have just replaced it with the one above.

I like my standard logitech mouse.... two buttons and a scroll in the middle i know logitech are renouned for being quite expensive though

My recommendation would be a Logitech MX1000 ... best wireless mouse available IMHO.

I'd be careful... with your current avatar as it is, you could easily be accused of spamming.

LOL I know about my avatar it was a quick thing building a nice new one in morning on psp9.

Edit: Will change it now so no offense is caused.
