Cordless Mouses

Do you guys use cordless mouses... if so which ones?

The Rev Owen · **Posted:** Wed Sep 02, 2009 11:36

I've had them, but then the batteries keep running out and I just end up plugging a proper mouse in instead to stop the hassle.

I just want something compact that I can chuck in my laptop bag, as my corded mmouse keeps getting tangled...

On my old computer, i've had a logitech cordless click plus mouse(?) for about 5 years. Only getting rid as the buttons are now so worn! It has a stand it sits in and charges when not being used, and i've never had a problem with it being flat/needing to change the batteries. I'm sure it was cheap as chips as it came with my dell....

If you're not sure whether you'll have a decent surface to work on, or the room for a mouse, then get a trackball instead. I highly recommend the Logitech Cordless Optical Trackman.

Hang on. A *cordless* trackball? What's the point of that?

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49244

SHUT UP, that's why.

Craster's trackball is in HD and widescreen, too. Playstation compatible.

Logitech MX 620 is what I've got. A pair of AA batteries supposedly lasts for a whole year, and it's just as awesome as a corded mouse.

Because I have too many damned wires as it is.

Surely Mice is the correct term?

I have a cheap-o microsoft one from pc world or comet or somewhere, it was cheap and does the job of clicking when pressed.

Both can be used. Mouses makes more sense in my head, though.

Looks similar to my deks, but mine is screens, docking stations laptops and a Optiplex GX620

Yeah, likewise. Because they're not actually mice.

This is, though.

Yeah, I'm gonna keep posting that. Because it's awesome.

That looks a nice mouse... and £30 is not bad..

It's mouses as it's an acronym.

I use the one I told you last time there was a thread about this, a few weeks ago.

My cordless mice have been very battery efficient.

Logitech are normally the ones I go for.

I've got one of these for my netbook:

The receiver is so small I can leave it in all the time, without worrying about it falling out, or catching on things.

I've got that model, but the larger size, on my work PC. They're excellent, and the batteries appear to last forever.

I think this is the one I've got.

yep, I've got that one for my desktop too, the receiver is a bit bigger than the nano though.

Big deal on this Logitech on Amazon at the mo. 18 squid, down from 35.

I think I replace the batteries in my perfectly standard £25 MS keyboard and mouse set about every 6 months at work and obviously that gets used for 8 hours a day in theory.

Now, is this one cordless or is the cord obscured by clouds?

That's a tablet mouse.
