Mice

I've used many a mouses in my day. Touch pads, Nipples, Trackballs, Optical, Laser, A few years ago I used to swear by my Logitech G5 Gaming Mouse. By the way, I prefer Logitech mice and keyboards, they have nice quality products and are innovators in their fields.

While Corded Mice have better response time, the overall clutter of just another cable makes things messy. Especially those on laptops, for those heavy laptops users more often than not we end up being wired to some wall outlet. For some using the touch pad is fine, I've forced myself to get used to it. For others it is unacceptable, my wife uses a Microsoft optical notebook mouse, which again with optical mice suffer from movement problems on various surfaces, in fact I'm using my sofa's arm rest as the surface for my mouse, because, well I actually do put my laptop on my lap. My old gaming notebook was rather hot on bottom thanks to a beefed up video card.

So back to the question wired or wireless, most gamers will tell you stay corded, and I would agree, if your using a desktop, for laptop the best is wireless, high speed wireless should not be a factor even in intense first person online shooters in today's age. And after 2 years of constant moving around, the cable to my old g5 mouse became frayed and then unusable, then I upgraded to the MX revolution, a great mouse but the charger was terrible, the contacts on the bottom of the mouse were supposed to the touch the charging cradle, often I'd spend 20 minutes just making sure my mouse charged, the scroll wheel was awesome, sometimes I felt the mouse was a a bit bulky, I ended up finding out there was notebook version, but well it was too late, and then came to the problem of usb ports on the side or your laptop, having a dangling receiver on usb ports are susceptible to being bent or broken, not exactly lap friendly, and every time you have to stow your trusty laptop away in a bag or something, you mustn't forget to to remove the receiver. This new nano VX has as written on the packaging, the world's smallest receiver, and lo and be hold I plug this in on the side on of my laptop to see that indeed there isn't much stick out, probably about 3/4 inch of plastic from the edge of the chassis. Plug and play, Windows XP detected the HID complaint mouse and easily installed default drivers and the mouse work just fine. I saw no need to install Logitech Setpoint, no need for another memory hogging background application.
