Not really a tool...but....

[Leo G]

I just picked up the Logitech wireless mouse. It has a very small "stub" USB transmitter that you put in and just leave, it is that small. The mouse runs on a single AA battery and they actually had an alkaline Duracell in the package. Not one of the carbon batteries from a company you never heard of. I had to adjust my mouse parameters a bit as the mouse tracked a little faster than my wired Logitech mouse. Took about 1 minute to get it right. It works 10' away and farther I'm sure. But by that time I can't see the screen anyway :laugh4: The mouse itself is kinda small, I'll get use to it. But because it is for a laptop, small is good, it'll fit into the case without a problem. So far, after using it for 20 minutes it seems like a nice little device. I'll see if I can remember to do an update and find anything that is annoying or malfunctioning. I know that I will need to keep a spare AA in my case now. But I will also keep the wired mouse in there just in case.

Anyone else run a wireless mouse? This one was about $40

Another plus, I got one for my wife and they don't interfere with each other while in the same room. Didn't think of that when I bought two.

I use wireless mice and keyboards at home and school all the time. Great at school when using a projector, I can just hand the keyboard and mouse to a student.
The only problems I have run into is using bluetooth and rf at same time, gets a little wonky.

Is it this one with the stubby receiver?

This is suppose to be new and improved in that area. I really don't have many wireless periphials. We do have a wireless keyboard, but I hate the thing. It drops letters all the time, we have a wired keyboard hooked up at the same time. It is funny when you start screwing with someone and type in a few extra lettters or words. Takes them a minute to catch on.:idea:

NO the receiver is bigger its a couple of years old. It is very sturdy. That mouse and keyboard has accidently hit the wall a few times. :rolleyes3:

Just pop the batteries back in and it always works

it probably consider a laptop mouse but would certainly work fin with a standard PC

I use a wireless keyboard and mouse from mac... bluetooth which is built in both the devices and puter so nothing to plug in at all...

[Silvertree]

I have a couple of those, I like it.

I have had a wireless keyboard and mouse for 4 years. Logitech.

Remember, Leo just got electricity a few years ago!!

[Leo G]

My squirrels are getting tired of running around that wheel all the time. ANd the leather belts are starting to wear thin.

[Leo G]

I gotta say that I am really liking this mouse. I seem to be liking the smaller size, fits nice in the hand. Didn't take to long to get use to it. I have always liked Logitech's ergonomics.

So far the only downside I can see is after you let it sit for a while it goes to sleep to save the battery and takes a small wiggle to get it going and there is a slight delay from that wiggle to the mouse moving. About 1/2 second. But it really isn't a complaint, just making an observation.

[WarnerConstInc.]

YOu had to find something to complain about didn't you!!

[Leo G]

I'm a complainer by nature, deal with it country boy.


It's a review. Of course there will be something to complain about. I did say it wasn't a compaint, just an observation.

You gotta be realistic. There isn't much made out there that someone can't find a negative on.

Same here. Running my Logitech now for about two years. Good equipment.

I sometimes set the laptop on the lamp table and use the arm of my lazyboy as the mouse pad when I'm watching the lifetime channel.

I use this for my desktop. I've had it for at least 3 yrs, no problems.

This I use for my notebook. It's an ok mouse, but I do wish it had more buttons.

I have a microsoft one. The receiver is bigger and yeah it takes 1 AA batt. I get rechargeable batteries that have a USB charger.. all done off the computer :)

[TulsaRemodeler]

I have a Logitech wireless, I like it except once in a while for no apparent reason it double clicks when I left click.
