More Mice Questions.

Post by bangoker »

Hey, remember I said I'm getting Microsoft's Blue mouse (optic/inalambric), well, i've just saw LOGITECHS one, an it looks a bit simpler, but is also inalambric ad optic, and costs a lot less.

I know microsoft has a good reputiation in this kind of devices, but so does Logitech, so which do you think is better?

I don't know which is better, but I've been using a $25.00 Logitech optical for 19 months now with no problems and love it...

The mice are equally good, however before you buy them, try them out if you can - I always found the Logitech mice to be a funny shape, I felt that the Microsoft mice were more ergonomic. That's just me though, you may find the opposite.

Sorry, just a little bit of caveman Spanish for bangoker to correct for me!

I really wish I had an optical mouse! Mine keeps sticking, even though I clean my mouse several times a week!

I know the feeling, used to use optical mice at university on Sun workstations, and that was over 10 years ago now!

They sure did, they had this funky mouse-mat you had to use that had a grid printed onto it. They were just sooooo smooth!
