Mousie trouble

**Shizara** · 25-04-2006, 11:51 PM

I thought my cordless mouse needed new batteries... so replaced them... the cursor still wouldn't move and I thought... aaargh... might need to get a new one. If only I had gotten the magnifying glass out I would have seen an off centre tummy button on the mouse underside and if pressing that didn't work then there is another one on the transmitter... all sorted now and saved the need for a replacement.

- I learnt something useful today I did.

Isn't it a great sense of victory when you do something like that.

I got rid of my mireless mouse. It was more hassle than it's worth. Kept failing all the time. So frustrating.

I agree, the best balance is a wire mouse, but make sure its OPTICAL

Oh yeah. I would never use a ball mouse ever again. I have a tiny little usb microsoft optical mouse

I have a better wireless mouse on the PC now and it is much better behaved.

I miss my microsoft trackball. One day I'll get round to rewiring it.

I could never get the hang of those track ball types. The ball on the top just confused me LOL

Tbh they aren't that precise, the ball bearings get clogged and the wheel sticks. I'll strip it down and klean it one day. I liked it because there's no need for a mouse mat.
Wireless keyboards... I just don't get it. Keyboards don't move so why would anyone want a wireless one!

I have a wireless keyboard. Makes it easier when dusting as I just pick it up and put it on a chair or on the floor out of the way LOL

They're also handy in the office if there are loads of wires flying around everyone
