I have had a standard microsoft optical usb mouse for going on 3yrs now, it was high time to replace it.

Through the years it survived a many thousands off rough clicks and a mishap with a mischievous cup of liquid that somehow ended up over it.

aka my hot freshly brewed cup of tea was sitting a little forward of my mouse and went all over the place.
It was back when I played first person shooters a bit in my hurry to shoot a found little critter trying to rip me apart I shoved the mouse forward clicking wildly aiming to take the horrid beasts head off at that moment slamming my mouse into my refreshing barely drunken cupa.
Well over it went on the mouse keyboard desk and me up I jumped clean up commenced the mouse and keyboard both survived.

Then latter on right button not working to well (I think I dropped the mouse and maybe stood on it) so apart I had it and fixed that though.... a bit of plastic has ever since rattled about inside it.



Now this is my new mouse

It's the first wireless mouse I have owned and I like the freedom of no cord attached to it. The receiver is tiny and perfect to leave in a laptop and easy to use with an extension cord supplied for desktop use.
I like the positions of the forward and back buttons and the hyper-fast scrolling well lets just say you miss it as soon as you don't have it.
It uses 2AAA batteries and is rated to last approximately 6months so no need to worry about them suddenly dieing on you. The software was a breeze to install and customize the buttons with.
Reception is perfect and allows the mouse to work about 30 feet away from the computer.

It's very accurate being a laser mouse and also a comfortable mouse to use even with big hands.

Hi Zenith

I have a wireless mouse, and love it, it came with my Gateway computer. I also have the wireless keyboard.

I only had to change the batterers in the keyboard once in four years. The mouse more often, but not bad.

The only thing I don't like about the mouse, is when the batteries go, they die right then and there, no warning, that's ok thought, I just make sure I have extra batterers on hand.

I'm sure you're going to love your mouse Zenith.

i have 3 different model logitech. one mouse was bundled with a keyboard, the keyboard is great, haven't used the mouse, the other logitechs are fine but don't fit my messed up right hand. i setteled on a microsoft wireless lazer mouse 5000. the ms mouse is very similar to the ms optical explorer i had and used til the pads wore off.

if anybody wants a wireless mouse let me know. we'll work out some sort of deal. i have 2 i can part with.

Hi LF from MC



I just need to take a look here [see pic below] or I can check it in my taskbar. It would be a pain if they go flat and no spares on hand, would use the vcr remotes aaa batteries to make do if they suddenly went flat.

When I now have to use a wired mouse it feels clumsy

Man, looks like you could take on Darth Vador with that mouse. Come to think of it, that mouse sort of resembles Darth Vador

Hi ranchhand

What a good idea they have Zenith. I buy a pack of batteries at one time, when their on sale.

"...rated to last approximately 6months..."

Zenith, please let me know if that turns out to be true, or even close. If it is I may buy a half dozen.

kennethr I can do that it's showing 131days left still so far.

I just remembered this post, kennethr the mouse batteries lasted to new years day.
So it only lasted a few months, keep in mind though the mouse would of been on about 12hrs every day and I forgot to turn it off a few days.
With the new batteries when I first looked I think it said it has 54days of power.

I tried a normal optical wireless logitech and it's nowhere as good and useless for any sort of gaming.

the batteries in my ms mouse died today. they been in since last oct and were duracell, the ones that came with the mouse. i use rechargeable now for keyboard, mouse and camera with an energizer 15 min. recharger.

Is there an option were the mouse turns off after so many minutes of unuse?

macgyver not that I know of but you have a button on the bottom to turn it on or off
