maybe its time to get a new mouse

Warm Pudgy · 14th Jul 2003, 02:21 PM

my mouse (usb intellimouse explorer) has been moving irradically on its own at random times

so does anyone have any suggestions for a good mouse?

Logitech MX500. Best. Mouse. Ever.

If you hate mice with tails, there's the MX700 which is the same thing but cordless.

If you want a expensive/rare/anime mouse...

Shirow Masamune(Ghost in the Shell) Mouse : $78.00

Hajime Katoki(Gundam) : $58.00

Logitech MX500. Nuff said

AI, you mouse may have went over a pattern or such that makes the mouse interperate that as moving around at great velocities. I sometimes get that too.

This happened to mine aswell. :/ So I bought a logitech usb mouse and it suddenly stopped working as well. Haven't bought a USB mouse since.

I have a corded Logitech optical mouse. No idea the version or make etc.

It's the best mouse I ever had.

my mouse is a gateway
its black on top with silver buttons and clear on bottom
AND IT HAS A RED LIGHT IN IT THAT GETS BRIGHTER WHEN IT MOVES!!!!

anyone who knows more than that about their mouse must really care

SS_King · 14th Jul 2003, 06:18 PM

AI, it might only be your pattern that is causing your irradicy(sp?)(is it even a word?). Try mousing with a blank piece of paper, and if it is still b0rked, then get a new one!

MX700 sucks, it's too heavy and none of the extra buttons are really useful, it gets a little skippy at times.

and if you get an optical, don't be fooled into the ratpadz mousepad, they look great, and when you first try them out they seem pretty cool, but soon they suck, very much.

That one of the main reasons I chose the MX500. More reliable, lighter and corded mice are less hassle than cordless ones.

You might have gotten a protein stain on the leanse that needs cleaning.

I've gone through 2 of those crappy Intellimouse Opticals and both of them did exactly the same as you describe, one from the start and the other did it after a couple months of use. Nice way to spend $160 (mind you that is Cdn, so maybe $40 uS

).

I then went to a optical Logitech which fit the hand much better and performed exactly as it said it should. Loved that mouse! I finally killed the left button (still works, but erratically) and decided to get the Logitech MX500, and WOW! I love the way it fits in my hand and the performance of it is amazing, especially when drawing with Illustrator or painting in Painter etc. It's actually more precise than the earlier Logitech I had, and is leaps and bounds better than any MS mouse I've owned.

I think the extra buttons on it are more gimmicky than anything but I can say that I have used them when browsing the web and in Explorer (the shell, not browser). I'd agree with the other recommendations and tell you to get the MX500!

Does the MX500 track faster than the dual optical? Because I have the dual optical, and it can be moved pretty damn fast without losing precision.

BlAcK_PlAgUe22 · 15th Jul 2003, 01:46 AM

I myself have a Logitech mouseman dual optical. I love it.

Warm Pudgy · 15th Jul 2003, 01:53 AM

oh yea i forgot i broke the scroll from slamming it on the desk, when i was mad at my computer

but thanks guys, that mx500 seems to be really good, i think ill go down to the best buy and pick one up

ShadowKi][er · 15th Jul 2003, 02:55 AM

AI, are you sure it's clean? I often get hairs trapped on the camera, nothing a pair of tweezers can't sort out.

[Edit]You slammed your mouse on your desk? Maybe you'd be better off with a couple of $5 ones
