Wanting to buy a decent mouse.

fraz_babe

Hi all hope its ok to ask on here.

Well I am looking for a new mouse. I've not had much luck with others cordless ones mainly. I had a 100 pound which was for the keyboard and mouse which broke. Now i have a 5 pound keyboard which does the job but i hate my mouse. Was looking if anyone could reccommend me a decent mouse that is not to dear please? I use my computer to come on MSE, sometimes competitions when i can be bothered & to chat to my friends so just general stuff not gaming etc.

Thanks. And sorry if its not ok to ask on this forum.

Razor mouses are good put they do cost and always need updating to work right out off the box put after that they are the best on the market,there keyboards are the same (yes they are gaming stuff put built to last has well)

Microsoft and Logitech are good brands. Make sure you get an optical mouse, not one with a ball in the bottom as they gather dirt. A corded mouse should be cheaper than a cordless one.

I've had the same Microsoft Intellimouse on my PC for at least 6 years if not longer, it's corded and optical, but you can get cordless ones, it gets a lot of usage, also have the same on on of my Macs too.

I use this.

It is Excellent Laser Mouse. Best Mouse I have used ever. Will do what you require, and settings can be changed to how you want it. Very nicely weighted as well.

It is corded but I never have liked cordless mice as they can be a pain if they start playing up. Just plug in USB and go.

Buy it at Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-MX400-Performance-Laser-Mouse/dp/B000EU6AAU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1239875558&sr=8-1

I use a cordless Logitech MX1000 on one of my PCs, which is excellent. I've also got a Logitech Marble Mouse (which, despite the name, is actually a trackball). That's great too.

Hope this helps...

Look on Ebay for a Microsoft Wireless Mouse 5000. They're about £15 or so and really comfortable.

I prefer wired to wireless. Both myself and my girlfriend have Logitech MX518s. Great mice.

Just noticed that the expensive ones broke OP. What brand were they? Logitech and Microsoft offer a really good replacement service, both will cover their goods for five years so you may not have to spend any money at all..

It was a logitech one. They cost 100 pound for the keyboard/mouse which is alot of money. My dad binned them a few weeks back. Typical !! I shall remember that so thanks for the info on that .

Would like to thank everyone for being very helpful aswell. I dont mind paying a high price for a decent mouse but its when they break easily :rolleyes:
