that mouse

<< < (6/7) > >>

choasforages:
yeah, mine used to be reliable too notice the word *used*

sporkme:
not reliable at all.  i have been in one, it is a terrible design.

i just resoldered the connections and laid it on thick

then i epoxied the wire in the hole

i would imagine that it would void the warrenty

oh and also the bendin the cable where it exits the mouse body is a weak point for the interior wires.  i split it open up to there and taped up a couple holes in the insulation.  give it slack and you should be ok.


your wireless mouse is either low on batteries, is experiencing interference, or is defective.  what manufacturer?  the logitech on the other pc has a range of over 50 ft through walls.  it has never disconnected.  consider untangling your cabling, em fields crossing will do that to any wireless thingamabob.

the best mouse i have ever used and am using now is a fellowes gel mouse.  old shit.  easy to clean.

and the old reliable compaq mouse is ready should this one crap.

edit:

the simpler the mouse, the more reliable it will be.  consider an off brand.

um yeah, simpler things have less to break. but i like usb mice /*usb should be change to umb, universal mouse bus */, are there any wireless mice anyone recommend.

choasforages:
RIP , one ms intille optical mouse. that piece of shit died last night. any more suggestions for a good mouse

AlexMax:
For ONCE I have to agree with XP Loser.

The only problem is that the USB to PS2 connector that comes bundled with the thing is a POS and comes undone all the time, but hey...what do you expect from a microshit product.

Otherwise, the optical mouse works fine for me.  And I'll bet it's even an acquired technology they got from someone else, am I wrong?
