    I use a Logitec optical mouse and it's great. I've had it a couple of years now at least. The only problem I've having now is that the little smooth plastic pads on the bottom are starting to come unstuck and making the bottom of the mouse a little sticky. Anybody else had this problem?

    I had the same problem with every mouse that I have used on a hard surface (like the plastic mouse pads with pictures, or desks), the pads were rubbed away after several months of use, and the mouse became sticky as you say. That's why I always use the mouse pads made of fabric these days, they don't rub away the plastic pads. And I also prefer the gel pads where you can rest your wrist, they're just great! Of course, if you try to use a mouse with rubbed away pads on a mouse pad made of fabric it will be a pain, it will stick even more. Rado

      Hi, I have a question: What brand and type of optical mouse do you use? I bought one two weeks ago, Genius NetScroll Optical PS2, and I would never buy it again :-( When I used it, the cursor moved to random place on the screen quite often. It is waste of money. I changed it back to old ball-point mouse, but I can't get used to not having a wheel there. I always believed that Genius is a good brand. I'm thinking about a new one, maybe from Microsoft - Does any of you have its mouses - I prefer those with cable, but without a ball. Thanks for your response.

      On my Desktop I have the Dell-branded Logitech mouse that was delivered with the computer, and for my laptop I use a Logitech Mini Mouse Optical. Both work fine 'til now. Greets Roland

        I (actually, everyone at the office) use a Microsoft Basic optical mouse and it works flawlessly on every single machine. At home, I use a Microsoft Basic optical mouse (again) and (again) it works flawlessly. My wife uses a mini logitech optical mouse and often it goes crazy: the weird thing is that what seems to go crazy is the wheel, not the mouse pointer, but it's a hassle. Yes, even I am blogging now!

              I use a Microsoft Trackball Explorer[^]. Actually, I have two (one at work and one at home). It's quite accurate and I'd buy another one if one of mine went south. Charlie if(!curlies){ return; }

                Genius mouse ? What do you expect ? I have a Microsoft optical mouse and cordless natural keyboard combo and it totally rocks my world, I'd absolutely recommend them to anyone. Christian I have drunk the cool-aid and found it wan and bitter. - Chris Maunder

                      Do not use a normal mouse anymore.. Been using the Graphire tablet mouse for about three years. While you have to use the tablet, the mouse is wireless and light weight. One mouse wore out and when I got the replacement, they actually had put a weight in it to make it feel more like others. Took that out pronto :) Rocky <>< www.HintsAndTips.com www.MyQuickPoll.com - 2004 Election poll is #33 www.GotTheAnswerToSpam.com "We plan for the future, we learn from the past, we live life in the present!"
