Kensington ValuOptical Black - mouse

The second Kensington mouse

Advantages: Cool name (Mouse in a box \m/)
Disadvantages: Not as good as the ValuMouse, no scroll wheel

So I sit at like the fourth PC I've been on over the past few days in my uni library, and come across yet a different mouse, this one again by Kensington. The same Kensington that have arguable made the greatest budget mouse of all time in the ValuMouse, but does "The mouse in the box" rival it's brother in arms. The look similar, both white, mouse shaped, 2 buttons, kensington written across above the buttons, but thats where the looks end. Well the first difference between the two it that this mouse is longer by about an inch and it's less "fat", so I'm guessing it was a basketball playing mouse before it retired to the desk job it now serves.

Review of Kensington Mouse-in-a-Box PC - mouse

Kensington ValuMouse

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Seems to wear out easily, can feel ungainly

This mouse can be found in most computer shops, supermarkets and stationers. It is toward the cheaper end of the range and can usually be picked up for anything between £5-£7.99.

Review of Kensington ValuMouse Scroll - mouse

kensington track ball mouse

Advantages: just so easy to uise
Disadvantages: take a litle getting used to

I have been using a track ball mouse for a number of years now i think it must be at least five.Find it very easy to use for working on my projects hobby restoration of old photos. For this type of work you need a good deal of control if you are to make a decent job restoring the photos, using photoshop i blow my image up to very large size then work at 1 or 2 pixels to get the effect that i am looking for with out the control of this track ball i would find it almost imposible to do the work, i know there are pen pads around i have one but cannot get on with it. Doing my other computer work is so easy just a little bit of finger movement will put the mouse where i need it. i also play games with it not the all singing danceing games that need a control pad of there own but the games that came with the laptop, again great ...
