While trying to work out what I fancied reviewing I was clicking away on different items with my mouse, a thought then struck I will write about my mouse. To give my mouse its full name it is a... more

    Advantages Advantages Easy to use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    At work we have a lot of computers, as to be expected these computers each have a mouse. The purchasing of all the computers and associated equipment is done by our IT department. The mouse of choice is Microsoft's Optical Wheel Mouse. Part of my work involves the testing employees work based knowledge, this is done with the use of a large number of computers and this involves in excess of three hundred candidates. Not all of these candidates are computer literate, so I not only guide them through the tests but I also find myself assisting the candidates in the use of the computers themselves ... more

    Advantages Advantages No ball, very durable

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Length of lead

    All that fluff and gunk that gets stuck to the rollers and stops your mouse from working properly, that needs to be cleaned off regularly. Well what did you think I was talking about? Well after getting annoyed with the bog standard mouse supplied with Ernie, trusty computer, for about the hundredth time, I thought there has got to be something better. And indeed there was, in the shape of an optical mouse, which instead of using a ball to track movement uses a laser. So we had a look around the shops, and Dixons happened to be selling the Microsoft Optical Intellimouse, which for some reason ... more

    I have this mouse at work and as I use it all the time I thought I'd be in a good position to review it. Microsoft is one of the largest producers of computing software in the world to date. Most people are consumers of such programs like Windows for their operating systems. They produce their own equipment and one of their products from the Microsoft range is the Optical roller ball mouse. Looks --------- The mouse looks and feels sleek with it's curvy features.

    This rodent sits patiently on a wooden desk, observing its prey as it walks around the room, grabbing the necessities for its daily life. The prey curses, realises that it had forgotten to print off a piece of work vital for the day ahead. Spinning, it sits of the chair and grabs a firm hold of the rodent, all the while opening a laptop. A red light begins to pulsate from the bottom-side of the slick rodent, the rodent is moved across the desk in corresponding time to the mouse on the desktop. I am of course referring to a rodent, a computing controlling rodent at that. I talk of course, or of ... more
