What Kind of Mouse

[Brain Spout]

What kind of mouse do you use? I was just curious i use a wireless optical mouse built for laptops (so it's small). I might get a new ball mouse soon since my friend is trying to sell me on why they are so much better and gamers use them or something. I don't know.

Check all that apply about your mouse

You might want to add a poll so we can check them. I've got a 5 button Logitech Trackball Optical.

I might get that one for my next mouse. It looks promising, does it work well?

Yeas, I like it a lot. It's great for games, and the mouse acceleration means you hardly have to move the mouse at all. It did take a bit getting use to, but I turned the acceleration up almost to the max.

One caveat though; the serials that start with LZB have charging problems, but Logitech will do an RMA. Actually, they just send you a whole new mouse without even asking for the other one back. Just look out for those serials if you buy in person. If you buy online it's really negligible anyway, as you won't be out of a mouse.

I already did an RMA on mine, but the charging problem wasn't that bad at all, I still got about a week and 1/2 out of a charge, I get about 2 - 2 1/2 with the new one.

Thanks for the info. I'll probably end up getting it. I'll be sure to watch for the serial too.

can you actually play games well with the acceleration that high. ive tried turning myn up but im not good at it. i guess you just got to do it and get used to it over time...

i just turned myn up, it feels so loose, my old settings felt tight and controlling, it feels like i barely have a mouse now

At first i had to use an app called Logigamer for games, but I got used to it and just play them with those settings now. Logigamer is a cool app though, it'll let you set different profiles for different apps.

Edit: http://www.logigamer.com for those interested.

awesome, i might upgrade to the mouse you use, is a lot better than mine in several areas. im getting used to high sensitivity on desktop, but when i play fps's with the sensitivity way up i get lost (literally). i move my mouse about an inch and uh oh im facing hte wrong direction. im going to try to get used to it though since its less hand movement and probably leads to more skill.

Two buttons and a ball. Nothin fancy. This POS system is 5 years old.

This is the mouse I use. I love it, it fits my hand perfectly. I especially love the curved area for my thumb to sit in, most comfortable mouse ever.

i got optical mice on both my laptop and desktop... my laptop one is smaller(designed for laptops) and the scroller can be pressed to act as button 3...

I have a touch pad, built into my laptop.
But I also have a blue logitech bluetooth mouse.
It's nice and small and it has a zip up case so it's easy to take around.

It kicks ass. I had one that crapped out, and I looked and looked all over the net for a replacement. I found one at the local Staples on clearance for like $15.
