Hi, I've got an old fashion "Ball Mouse" if that's what they are called, and it now clicks and has trouble moving to the left.

Is it time to get a new mouse? And if so has anyone tried this mouse and would or wouldn't recommend it?

http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_pointers/mice/devices/3053&cl=us,en

or...has anyone ever played Renegade with a cordless mouse and would recomend something more like this?

http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_pointers/mice/devices/130&cl=us,en

Please help me out, if you have a superior mouse let me know it is getting hard to snipe back.

Microsoft Intellomouse is cool if you don't want to spend a lot.

Thanks, I found this...

Does the scroll wheel tilt help at all, and is it a comfortable fit in your hand?

Optical mouses from Ligitech are great, I seriously doubt you'll be disappointed.

Wireless is 50/50, sometimes they're great, other times they suck.

I'd get a optical mouse with a wire and try to get one that plugs into your PS2 port, if not, USB.

If you intend on buying a new keyboard from logitech, MAKE SURE IT PLUGS INTO THE PS2 PORT, their USB function sucks, sometimes when you press a key, instead of pressing "y", it comes out as "yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy".


Presence is a curious thing, if you think you need to prove it... you probably never had it in the first place.

thanks RYU, I believe the mice I both attached originally are lazer mice, but after your post I am now certain I will get a wire mouse, but not sure if I should get Lazer or Optical.

I use a cheap, no-nonsense Logitech optical mouse with a wire, and it's great.

Original Fucking Microsoft Intelimouse 5-button. The one I'm using right now is 8 years old and still running like a champ. When it dies I'm buying another one. Razz

I'll recommend using a laser mouse, they are really fast.

The present problem you have with your mouse now, can be fixed by cleaning it, problem with old ball mouses's, they pick up alot of dust and shit inside them, which clogs the rollers.

Open it up and just empty the dust and crap out of it, put it back together and it work fine again.

First I had some random ballmouse.
Then I had a wireless random ballmouse.
Then I got a logitech wireless optical mouse (don't know the type) was pretty nice, but used batteries..
After that I got an Logitech MX700 which I found to be rather comfortable, no real reason to replace besides the fact that we needed a new mouse for our MCE computer (which became my oldest logitech mouse) and my dad got the MX700.
I got the MX1000 lasermouse and still use that today, and I am rather happy with that, though I must say that it does appear to slightly lag a tiny bit.

About Logitech keyboards on USB: I have the Logitech Internet navigator special edition, and had the same before some keys started to die on me, but I never experienced crappyness untill the keys started to die. Which even might be user error, as it started after I disassembled the whole keyboard once.
