Advantages: smooth, precise, sexy looking, full of functions, rechargable Disadvantages: expensive, excessive packaging
I bought this mouse yesterday to accompany the new Logitech MX3200 laser keyboard I purchased as well.
The mouse comes in a massive box which is in-itself heavy and makes you think you are getting more than you can see. The packaging does look good though and is obviously there to try and justify the high price.
Getting the mouse from the packaging is not the easiest of jobs and requires some thumb strength to prize it from its clear bulletproof vacuum moulded cover. The mouse comes with its own natty recharging stand, a transformer and a bluetooth connector.
Setting it up is the easiest of jobs and Vista recognised it immediately and didn't even require the software. I loaded the Logitech software however so that I could configure the different options properly. The software also automatically checks to make sure the latest ...
Advantages: Dead easy to use Disadvantages: The right click
I maintain a number of websites as a bit of an obsession, and load up many photos and graphics as part of the deal. Inevitably with scanning in photos there always tend to be flaws to correct and improvements to make, and I've written here before about using Adobe Photoshop to do so. The problem, however, with retouching photos is that there's an awful lot of mouse work involved which is time consuming, makes your hand and wrist ache and is at best a little clumsy and difficult to control when you're trying to make very tiny adjustments.
All the best advice I read and heard indicated that the best solution to these problems was to dump the rodent and get a graphics tablet instead. I was extremely sceptical at first but in the end got so annoyed with the clumsiness and inefficiency of a mouse and so curious about the idea of using ...
Advantages: Improve accuracy with pen stylus, large mapping area/work space Disadvantages: Mouse not as robust as could be
After using an optical mouse for many years, I felt I needed a new tool to use with my design work which would give me greater accuracy and control over my work. So, after begging the boss for a 'new toy', we got the Wacom Intuos3 A4 tablet at work.
It was very easy to install. It simply plugged into a USB socket on my iMac and once the installation disc had run, it was ready to go. Even though Macs come with drivers for most printers and other external accessories, I still ran the instal disc as it adds a new preference panel in the System Preference section. From here you can change the specifications for all the buttons on the tablet itself as well as on the mouse and stylus pen, along with the standard double-click speed, etc.
The tablet has a work area of approximately 297 mm W x 210 mm H (A4) and has a 1:1 mapping ratio ...
