Looking for a decent cordless mouse

itm2

I've been using a Logitech MX1000 laser mouse for a couple of years. It's been fine, apart from the fact that it often double-clicks when I only want it to single-click. This problem has been getting progressively worse, to the point where I now have to replace it (I get the same problem when I connect it to 3 different PC's, and doesn't appear to be anything to do with driver or software configuration).

From reading various tech forums it seems that this problem is not uncommon, and afflicts many Logitech mice. Hence I'm now looking for a replacement which preferably isn't made by Logitech.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a cordless mouse which has ALL of the following features:
- Optical or laser
- Rechargeable Li-Ion battery
- Battery charge indicator on the mouse
- Desktop charging station.

TIA for any suggestions....

How old is the mouse? You could just get Logitech/retailer to replace it. My G7 mouse started getting double click problems (it's a developing fault of the microswitch) and I simply got it exchanged for an MX Revolution which is by far the best mouse I've ever had or even tried. No problems at all with it. All of Logitech's mice have either a 3 or 5 year warranty. No point spending money if you don't have to. Any other manufacturer it's cost me money to sort out/replace mice but Logitech so far I've only had the one problem and I actually get a better mouse without even having to pay the difference.

It's 2-3 years old but was a Xmas present so I don't have the proof of purchase unfortunately.

You could try calling Logitech. At worst they'll just say no. If you're going to buy a new one anyway then you've got nothing to lose other than a phone call.

They're closed today but have sent an email to them. Nothing to lose, as you say. Thanks.

In the meantime any recommendations for an alternative would be of interest.

Local tesco extra had some micr0$oft wireless ones discontinued and discounted from £35 to £17 or so. Not in the computer isle but round in discount heaven waiting area. Yellow shelf edge label. May be worth a sniff. They were not part of a "sale" or "special purchase" just not moving.

Not sure of the model but looked pretty compact with a receiver that clips onto the mouse when not in use.

Not really what you're looking for but only £17.
