Man, my mouse is all wacked out, it only works sometimes.  I have to click on something ten times before it opens, or closes...Like if Moms coming downstairs and I need to close a nauty site quickly.    Anyway, think I should get a new one?

Sock  :P

if it cant be fixed with duct tape, WD-40, or TNT, dont bother trying.

I'm going to get a laser cordless, to replace the one I got now. The cats keep getting up on my desk and they leave a buch of hair and dirt that gets caught up in the mouse, causing it to hang up.

Needless to say .............I have to clean my mouse's balls quite frequently!  :-X  

common problem when cat and mouse get together...

I'm sorry but thats the funniest thing I've "heard" all day.

Yeah!  That's [dang] good!

If you do decide to get a laser mouse, get the Logitech cordless.  Bought it for my grandfather a few years ago, and now the whole family owns them.  We swear by our Logitechs!

How much do they cost, cuz I'm almost broke?

Sock

Depending on where you get it: $55-$75 US.  Pretty good, considering they will last beyond the computer you are using!

Wow...Your quick...I think thats too much, I'll buy I cheap one... :-/

I've been playing laser for quite a while now....had the mouse neutered a few yrs ago and don't intend to go back to picking fluff off the mouse' balls......

When I first bought my computer 4 years ago, I got an infared mouse. It still works great, although I think the buttons are starting to wear out, and the paint is mostly worn off

Hiya guys

Just teated myself to a brand new wireless Genius kboard and mouse set. Yeah it works fun for everything BUT fs

I'm now cursed(?) by a cursor that multiplies all over my panels, know what I mean?

Say the cursor happens to be stationary in the centre of the panel - I move it, it leaves a stationary flashing cursor behind in the original position and moves to the new position. Then when I move it again it leaves another flashing cursor behind - pretty soon you can hardly see anything but flashing cursors everywhere the mouse has been.

It doesn't happen in the 'view' thru the screen or in spot view - only over the panels themselves. Weird.

I'm messing around but if I can't solve it with drivers or whatever I'll have to go back to my jolly old wired-up kit.

There's progress 4 U

 I've been using a Logitech wireless optical mouse for quite a while now and I have to agree, it is a huge improvement over the old roller ball mouse.
 I have a couple of sets of rechargable batteries that I rotate through it so I'm not spending a fortune on batteries.
 I think I bought mine at Wal-mart for around $50.00, and it has been well worth it, Sock, I suggest if you can't afford one straight up, you should put one on layaway, you won't regret it.

I guess since it got such a shinning review for, almost everyone, I'll look into it.
