What kind of Mouse do you use with your PC

Postby dada on Sat Jan 28, 2006 3:17 am

I was wondering if anyone can recommend a mouse that simply doesnt fuck up after a while. I have tried all kinds but do not find them very dependable. I am currently using the mouse with my wacom tablet since the last wireless mouse seems to have lost its mind, but I hate having the tablet clog up my table space.


So which do you recommend and where can I get it?

Logitech is the way to go. I have two wireless mouses from them and they both still work.

Some time .... I don't know. Just get rechargeable ones, like I haven't (N)

It does last quite a while. I've had the same ones for the past month and i've been on the comp quite a bit.

I'd say Logitech is the way to go, but the question is how much you'd like to spend.
I got the Logitech MX700 mouse and keyboard and it's awesome.. (y)


Yohance: I wouldn't be surprised you have coloured it green with a sharpie by now :wink:

Logitech G7 is one of the best mouses in the market right now, but it's a little expensive: $99.

I would be willing to spend up to around $150 on the keyboard mouse combo but I really only need a mouse because the keyboard isnt really an issue. If a see a really good combo out there then I might buy it. On the mouse I wont go over say $75-100.

I just need a bitch that can take abuse. :)

Fortunatly I do some work on the side of my studies, including product testes. And I would place the G7 below the MX1000 and the MX700. I'd say it's on par with the latest Razrhead (or however the fucking spell it).

I have the same one, except it's in blue. I don't use the buttons, but it's comfortable and the precision is amazing.
