My New Mouse

Posted: Mon Nov 10, 2003 1:00 pm (20 years, 5 months ago)

Just thought I'd share with you all the fact that my new mouse arrived this morning. Its a Logitech MX700 Cordless Optical...

The only problem I'm having is trying to remember to use it for anything other than a left click - I'm upgrading from a single button Apple Pro mouse!! My left hand still keeps making for the keyboad to hold the ctrl key down for a right click.

Apart from that it seems like a very nice mouse. Its certainly very comfortable to hold, no good for left handers though. Its a little bit heavier than I'm used to, seeing as it contains batteries, but I kind of like that, it adds a bit more control. At least the batteries are NiMH Very Happy

Anyone else using one of these?

looks very nice...I'd get one, but knowing me I'd loose it Rolling Eyes

Ah, you decided to follow my advice: dump Mac mice! Why on earth Apple haven't realised that you need two buttons on a mouse beets me Laughing

yeah I agree...though the mice that come with iMacs are quite cool - to click you just push the entire body down

My first experience with that kind of mouse was bad. I was trying to move the mouse, while reaching over in front of someone - I ended up clicking which totally baffled me Laughing

. Why is it an advantage to be able to click by using the whole body?

it's not an advantage, it's just a novelty thing Very Happy

That's one nice mouse. Just a little more money and I'm planning on getting this which is a mouse similar to yours, plus the cordless keyboard Smile

It'll be a nice addition to my computer with its Pre-Win95 keyboard Razz

How does it suck? I find lack of cable much better.

I don't think benn said it sucks because it has no cable Wink

My grudge against most wireless mice/keyboards is power: I don't want to have to replace batteries so rechargeable is what I would want (and I wouldn't want to recharge them everyday either). But this is all wishes since I don't have any wireless input devices... Smile

Some people dont' like the idea of being on battery power...

TBH, I don't mind using batteries. I've got 4 rechargable ones, so while I'm using two, I can have the other 2 ready to charge up. Smile

it sucks because it doesn't work properly Laughing

it lags quite a lot and stuff...

Can't say I've ever noticed any lag, on either my mouse or keyboard.
