...BelkinMini-Scroller Optical 3-Button Mouse
-=--=- The Background -=--=-
I've had a computer that used a mouse for the best part of 13 years now, starting with my Atari STE, which had the huge square-feeling Atari mouse, through to my first PC, which came with a standard Microsoft mouse, up until recently when I was using a freebie 2-buttoned mouse that AOL gave me. Through these mice, and the various makes and models that seemed to pop up on my desk along the way, I never had a mouse that lasted longer than 6 months. If the mouse wasn't too uncomfortable to use, then the buttons would wear away quickly. If the buttons were sturdy then the mouse ball would have a habit of gathering dust and dirt, quickly knackering the smooth running of the mouse.
Throughout all of these mice, their replacements and the various levels of cleaning...

Advantages: Nice design, Very Responsive Disadvantages: To small for the large hand
...Optical mice are all the rage now, and it is a must for any frequent computer user, I recommend the BelkinMiniScroller Optical Mouse as longs as you have kids, it only costs about £25 and you can get it from various places. One place you can get it from is Dabs.com where it costs £22.32.
Although the mouse was primarily intended for USB use, it also comes with a line adapter to plug into the PS2 port on your PC, which, if you don’t have a USB port can only be a good thing.
The installation was straightforward enough, as with all mice you get the usual CD-ROM which gives you many options to customise the mouse performance, things such as, the double-click speed and visual appearance of the cursor. If you want you can also alter things like how fast it tracks your screen or the gear-ratio.
The MiniScroller Optical Mouse uses an optical...

Carrying over 1000 tunes in my bag and at the gym I found it a bit of a waste to be lugging cassettes around especially if I had recently downloaded new tunes. I want to listen to them in my car now! This product allows me the choice of all my music on more
