Don't you hate breaking in a new mouse?
 

Maybe it's the kitty in me, but I seem to go through mice on a regular basis. When I find one I like I usually buy more than one of them. Well, the one I've been using they don't make anymore and the wheel went out on the last one I had.

Now I'm stuck with a new one..completely different feel to it and it sucks.

PK

I thought this thread was gonna be about mice, the animal. LOL

I've had my current mouse for 3 years. The one before that for at least 5.

WTF are you doing to your mousesesessessss?

I've never had a mouse break on me either... :thumbsup

this mouse rocks!

I know EXACTLY how you feel. The worse thing I know is when I forget my mouse at home when I leave for long projects. Then I end up using some OEM mouse where one of the slides are missing, and it wobbles across the table.....

I have 3 of these http://www.razerzone.com/p-66-razer-...ing-mouse.aspx
It's the best mouse I ever had. I usually wear them out fast, but this one I have now is almost a year old.

There are 4 tings that are important to me
1 - the slides on the bottom, they need to be big and last long
2 - how hard the buttons are to push
3 - need to be with a cord
4 - programmable buttons

I use a logitech trackman.getting used to the billard ball was the only problem but they are awesome

i have a new wireless microsoft mouse. took a few hours to get used to since it's a bit smaller than my old mouse and the scroll wheel was grinding. it's worn down a bit and fits like a glove now.

I don't even use the scroll wheel on my mouse, you scroll down 5 "clicks" and then it will jump back up one or two. :(

I wonder if anyone's come up with a non mechanical scroll wheel? Like an area you move your finger around in?

I've been using a Logitech Laser Mouse cordless LX8 for a while now... close enough to my MX510 that died that it didn't really require much getting used to.

http://www.evoluent.com/ it's on 3rd version and I've had one of each of the previous versions, very good imo

It must be all of the batting around, tossing them in the air, and chewing on them ;)

I ran out of tin foil balls.

For me it is keyboards...they have to have a certain "snap" to them. When I find one that I like, I buy multiples. I just ran out of duplicates of my favorite keyboard and I can't find anyone that sells them anymore, so I had to buy a different one, and I hate it :(

What the hell are you people doing to your mice? I haven't had a mouse fail on my since they used those little gay balls inside them, and even then it was usually due to dust getting all tangled up in there.

The only time in the past like 8 years I have had to replace an optical mouse was if the computer i wanted to use it on did not have a ps2 port and i needed usb, or the color of it did not match something else on my desk.

Are you guys not using mousepads and are just using these on bare surfaces or what?

Best. Mouse. Ever.

Just hush. No brown nosing here.

Been using them for years, I doubt I will ever change. I have a spare "just in case."

Agree 100% :thumbsup

I agree,
Prior to it I was using Kensington meece. This one puts them to shame.

If your main problem in life is your mouse then I'd say you not in bad shape there ?

wow, i have 5 different laptops/pc that i use for work and i never had a special mouse.

Learn from the gamers...

Yes, but breaking a new mouse is worse :winkwink:

I go though mice like crazy too Kitty. Their ment to ware out, hence you buy more and the maker gets ricker. Just like cars! :D

No, new mice are just like old mice.

I thought this was going to be a tampon related thread......so why the hell did I click on it!!

LOL! meooowwww...

haha.. I'm not the only one up at 3am on the west coast.

Go to bed... :mad::mad:

I have one of those. It's way more sensitive than my other mouses.

I need to pick up a few more mx518's that i prefer. Now that the wife got a lapop, she stole my extra one.

I have that exact mouse, and to use it is to get a little closer to geek heaven.

I've had to be gone a few times and used a mouse without hyperscroll...

it seemed like being back in the roller ball mouse ages.

i am seriously pissed at the Apple Mouse - the scroll "clit" picks up dust and then doesn't work anymore. and you can't open the mouse to clean unless you break it. and that f...... pos cost me 80 euro or so. now i am using a cheap Logitech Laptop Mouse

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh
I guess it's an addiction

The most expensive
 

Swiss manufacturer Now?s ?world?s most expensive mouse? comes in three choices of 18-karat white, yellow or red gold.
