New mouse time!

Prost264 · October 27th, 2009, 11:44 PM

I can't stand my Mighty Mouse any more and the new Apple Magic Mouse is a complete piece of shit.

Here is what I'm looking for:

Bluetooth
A button to program to activate Expose
something comfortable

I think I would be happy with the Logitech Performance MX but I really can't justify spending $100 (ok $90 on Amazon, but still) on a mouse when I'm just a "casual" user. Sure I spend a lot of time using a mouse but I'm not doing anything delicate like Photoshop.

Screw wireless

Get a logitech one with a nano receiver if you have enough USB prots. I have had one for over a year now and i never notice the receiver and can even leave it (the receiver) plugged in whilst it is in its carry bag (the laptop). I've also only had to change the batteries twice and i've dropped the moust countless times and it is still perfect. I am buying two more soon, one for my netbook and one for my work PC (when i get it).
Logitech is brilliant with mice, I haven't gone wrong with them yet. Avoid the Microsoft brand like the plague though, mine kept breaking and the receiver was flimsy and snapped in half after a few months.

I do want to get a Logitech, I just want to find one a bit cheaper than $90 that I like as much as the Performance MX.

If the MX1100 can be had with the micro receiver, get it. If not, get it anyway, unless you're using this with a laptop, in which case you need to get the VX Nano. I have one for work(MX1100 for home) and it's completely perfect.

So..

I got so frustrated with my Mighty Mouse "side button" sharp edges digging into my fingers that I just bought the Performance MX from Amazon.

The price is worth no more further aggravation with a trackball that doesn't work and some of the worst ergonomics I've ever dealt with.

I can't wait.

my Logitech MX (Revolution I think?). Great mouse, even if getting the adjustable wheel to work under Linux was a little tricky.
