Low tech mouse!

Posted on June 19, 2007

Mice.

Help! I need a new wireless mouse (not the furry kind).

I have tried 4 different wireless mice and they were all super crappy.

These wireless mice are no good!

  1. Apple Mighty Mouse (An ergonomic nightmare = Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Ouch!)
  2. Logitec LX7 (Very poor reception. I could not get more than 2 ft from the receiver.)
  3. Logitec V400 (Poor reception. Tracking was horrible!! The worst mouse ever!)
  4. Kensington PilotMouse Laser wireless (great mouse, but the scroll wheel broke!!)

I am forced to use this really old Microsoft mouse which is kind of pathetic, but it honestly is the most accurate and comfortable mouse I’ve found.. So I need your help nerds! Please help me find a good mouse!!

    You should check out the Logitech G7. I use the G5 myself, which is the corded version of the G7. It’s a great design in my opinion.

    I’ve never had luck with logitech-longevity. I haven’t personally tried this mouse, but isn’t it groovy? It doesn’t need batteries. I think it runs off of user frustration with Microsoft and page-loading errors. http://www.gizoo.co.uk/Products/PCGaming/PCGadgets/BatteryFreeWirelessMouse.htm

    so i casually fbed uber podcast inerd celeb Merlin Mann and asked him what mouse he used, cuz if there is anyone that knows how to make a mouse sing it’s Merlin.

    He uses the Logitech s 530 in case you were wondering.

    PS. being “friends” with someone on fb doesn’t actually make you “friends” with them in real life. stop spoiling the party!!
