I got a wireless mouse today...

:D

I love Tech but there are some things I guess I never think much of since they always work and my standard Dell USB mouse has been the case.

Till it started giving me trouble 6 months ago...:D I really should have replaced it sooner as it's cramped my style in bringing over threads from DU. And I got SLW a new one just recently when her old one started acting up.

I got her a MS one and today I picked up a Logitech version when we were over at the Target on Fruitville.

The new mini-USB connectors are a welcome relief compared to the "bulky" one she used to have.

I like my wireless mouse. It's made by Microsoft and I've used it for a couple of years. Nice.

Yeah I like a wireless mouse. I have a Logitech.

Don't have a wireless mouse but I just picked up one of these last week because the scroll wheel wasn't working right on the one I had.....

It's the Razer Naga gaming mouse. The 12 buttons on the side are programable to keys on the keyboard.

I'm not a fan of the wireless mouse. Don't like changing batteries.

The piece that "slides" out is a pain on every one I have ever had to deal with. You hold it like they say to hold it, and apply pressure as instructed and it won't come off. So you end up sticking a knife blade or jewelers screwdriver in the seam to pry it off.

I know what you mean, also I end up with so much wireless stuff the signals start interfering with each other.

The only thing I had that did that was when I had my old Airport (Jupiter II model) and then when the 900Mhz phones came out, they interfered with the signal to the iBook which I assume was using the 900 band before the phones came out. So I went back to the old phones for a while, and then got rid of the house phone entirely.

My sister just got a new Microsoft wireless mouse with the micro send unit, which puts my mind at ease a bit because I worried that the thumb-drive sized unit sticking out was waiting to break the case.

She bought a Toshiba Satelite three months ago, and I can't believe the damned thing doesn't have bluetooth. Would it have cost mort than a dollar for them to have included it?

Speaking of cool, have you seen the wi-fi memory cards? They cost as much as a camera, and the cameras OUGHT to be equipt with bluetooth (but aren't) so the concept is cool when the price comes down.
