I need a new mouse!

Renesis · March 11th, 2005, 05:34 PM

Well I have had that cheap Microsoft basic optical mouse since a few years but now it seems like it's acting up. Sometimes it disconnects for like 1 seconds, just like if it was losing signal, I hear the USB *beep* of Windows, then it's back. I tried with another USB port and it's still doing it...

I guess it's time for a new mouse? Or should I try something to fix it before?

I can't believe how fucking expensive they are, I don't want to pay more than $40 CAD before taxes for that!

So I could buy the same shit I had for $15 and I looked at others, but there's not many choices, I found the Logitech MX500 High Performance Mouse. It's $60 at one store, and $35 at the other! So I think it could be quite a deal since Logitech themselves list it as $40 USD!

Oh BTW, It needs to be corded, I don't want cordless stuff, anyway it wouldn't fit in my budget.

I think I had one logitech mouse before, it worked well, is anyone using that model? is it good?

Quick Quick! I'm going to the store in 15 mins images/smilies/lol.gif

I've read somewhere that it is a production flaw. The cable inside the cord is not designed right so it breaks and looses signal. Have you tried getting a replacement from MS ? They might give you one since it's a known issue.

If you're going to buy a new one get the Logitech. I'm using the previous model and it's really good.

Logitech MX1000. Atleast that's what I'd get. 8)

Wired: MX510 images/smilies/smile.gif

Renesis · March 11th, 2005, 07:31 PM

They had no 510, I bought the MX500, at the Futureshop store it was listed at $59.99 I was like WTF! it's $34.99 on your website, he checked and it was really that price, so I was happy. images/smilies/smile.gif

Great choice. I've got the MX700 (wireless) and ordered the MX510 for my laptop. I guess they are the best choice around.
