What PC Mouse are you using?

Splat · **on:** January 21, 2012, 03:31:44 AM

So let's see what everyone's using these days. I used to be a Logitech guy but their mice have become uncomfortable to me with the massive sloping curve. These days I'm using a Microsoft Comfort Mouse 4500. I like it. So what you using mousing?

Logitech Performance MX. Dark field laser is simply awesome.

Apple Magic Mouse. It took me a while to warm up to it, but once you're used to the multitouch it's really hard to go back.

It's absolutely useless for gaming, though, so I have a Razer Imperator that I plug in whenever I boot into my Windows partition.

Logitech V450 Nano Cordless Laser.

Most surfing I do these days is on my laptop and I use a Logitech Bluetooth mouse just like this one:

I also have a wireless keyboard and mouse set from Logitech on my desktop PC.

Logitech all the way for me. I had a MS Blue mouse that I returned and had replaced several times under warranty until I finally gave up on it. I had another MS mouse a few years later that I really liked but my puppy at the time thought it looked like a good chew toy and destroyed it when I wasn't looking.

Oh, I forgot my other two responses...

"I'm not using a mouse, I'm using Tapatalk"

And

"multitouch trackpad on my MacBook"

I've always been a fan of Logitech devices and have used them as long as i've had a computer to plug them into.
Original. Mouseman Wheel, MX700, G5, MX Revolution, G9x, MX Air.

More recently i've experimented with other brands of gaming mouse, but i can't decide on a favourite as they all have their advantages and disadvantages.
Logitech G5, Logitech G9x, Steelseries Ikari Laser, Cyborg RAT9, Razer Mamba.

I like a heavy mouse whilst gaming, so i've done a couple of modifications.

Both mods pack as much brass as possible into the available weight carrying space.
Just for fun, the RAT's retaining nut was made out of titanium.

I had a MX700 for a few years. Good mouse.

Microsoft Comfort mouse 6000 on my desktop.

Microsoft Mobile Mouse 4000 on laptop.

We've used a variety of Logitech wireless mice over the years, I have the first wireless Laser mouse they put out (pretty sure we had another thread about Logitech products somewhere?), but a while back I got one of the cheap wired Logitech LS1 (laser) and it does the job just dandy... we now have 3 of them... one for each of our main desktops and one for the laptop.

I've been eyeing some of the new Razer mice and drooling... may have to change soon.

I have Logitech something or other.I forgot the mod # but it has 3 buttons and a dual direction scroll wheel.Most important it's wireless and works on any surface.Does real good on my recliner arm rest.I think I forgot how to use a laptop unless I'm in a reclined position.

Best mouse ever

I also have a pretty old MX1000 which still works well. And a couple other Logitech mice.

jekostas · **Reply #12 on:** January 22, 2012, 01:11:14 AM

Logitech MX400, and I gave my wife a Logitech MX510 (she has bigger hands than me). Great, great mice and they've both lasted 5+ years with no issues besides some paint loss.

dodge_911 · **Reply #15 on:** January 22, 2012, 05:35:34 AM

2 Apple Magic Mice, 2 Logitech Performance MX, Logitech Revolution MX

Other pointing devices : Wacom Intuos 4L, Apple Magic Trackpad.
And then there's my lesser used trackball collection : Logitech Cordless Trackman Optical, Logitech Cordless Trackman Marble, Logitech Cordless Trackman Wheel.

I know, I've got a lot, but it's like with multitools, each lne serves it's purpose...

I have had the same logitech wireless mouse for nearly 5 years. Cost me 25 bucks back then, so at an average cost of about 8 or 9 cents a month I can't beat it! It's still ticking too, but I am seriously considering getting a new one. This one has a usb antenna that is the size of a flash drive and it's a bit out dated and gets in the way. Other than that I have no complaints about it. I had to take it apart once to clean it but that's all.

badwolf · **Reply #17 on:** February 10, 2012, 06:49:58 PM

I use a Logitech Marble Mouse, track ball thingy, I like it

Neil · **Reply #18 on:** February 10, 2012, 09:16:51 PM

Logitech V450. Not a bad mouse but not brilliant. It was however just a couple of quid at a car boot sale last year and is a mile better than the generic corded thing I had in before.

When funds and or opportunity allow I'll upgrade to something a bit chunkier, most likely Logitech again as it takes me years to wear them out compared to months with lesser brands.

I just buy the cheapest thing in the shop everytime

Max Archer · **Reply #20 on:** February 10, 2012, 11:28:58 PM

Magic Mouse when I'm on OSX, Razer Imperator for gaming on Windows.

I use two mice, A Logitech Performance MX...which drives me up the wall at times as I am constantly having to plug the darn thing in for battery recharging via a crappy cord system, and a Razer Mamba.

I don't understand why you don't like that. I think it's the best charging system for a wireless mouse on the market, since you can still use the mouse while it's being charged.

Whoey · **Reply #25 on:** February 12, 2012, 04:25:43 PM

looks like a far better system than my Logitech MX1000 Laser (the first logitech laser mouse iirc)

It has to sit just right to actually charge. I usually stuck something in to get just the right position, and any bump on the desk would stop it charging. (a very bad thing when you have 2 cats)

When I got a backup Logitech LS1 to use while it was recharging, it got to the point where one day I decided to just stop using the MX1000... the LS1 does a great job at a very reasonable price...

Reinier · **Reply #26 on:** February 12, 2012, 04:49:14 PM

I know, I have a Performance MX ánd an MX1000

By the way if you send Logitech an email complaining about your MX1000 not charging correctly, they will probably send you a new one, no questions asked.

Whoey · **Reply #27 on:** February 12, 2012, 05:24:11 PM

I got a fair amount of mileage off that mouse before I switched. The charging dock is still sitting on my desk, but the mouse is in a drawer. I'm a huge logitech fan... I have piles of their stuff...

That happened to my mother- she bought a dead one and since she lives 150kms from the store she bought it at she called Logitech customer service. They tried a couple of things to make it work over the phone then couriered her a new one. Great customer service is enough to make me a lifetime customer.

I took a pic of mine, I can't find a model name or number just a part number. I saw these in a store about 6 months ago but haven't seen them since. I've used this mouse and this mouse alone for nearly 5 years and it is still going strong. I don't know that I will replace it until it actually dies.
