A travelling mouse

Advantages: responsive, but not expensive
Disadvantages: I feel uncomfortable with the size.

...Last month I brought a Labtec mini optical glow mouse for £7.99 from amazon.co.uk with free delivery. General information Labtec was founded in 1982 and is a leading products provider for computing, communication and entertainment. The Labtec mice have a large proportion of the market. Labtec mini optical glow mouse has very good design for use with laptops. It looks the same as the picture you can see on this website, but it?s a lot smaller than you can imagine from the picture. The size is about as big as 2/3 of standard mouse. However it has a two-button design with a single scroll wheel in-between. The whole translucent panel and the scroll wheel change slowly in 7 colours when the mouse is working. If you don?t like it you can turn it off. It is a small wired optical mouse with a USB connector. You just need to...

Review of Labtec Mini Optical Glow Mouse mouse

Greaty Apple Mouse!

Advantages: 360 scroll function, compact, ease of use
Disadvantages: hassle installation, bit pricey

...Aesthetics - The look and feel is a basically a replica of a normal Apple Wired Mighty Mouse. However, the weight of it is a bit heavier than the wired one because of the battery insertion. When I got this mouse from the Apple store, I thought the price was a bit expensive compared to the other wireless mouse. However, I bought this mouse because of the apple brand and it's beautiful aesthetics. After I unpacked it and analysed the mouse, i had no idea where the battery was sposed to go in. (NB battery comes with the product which is really useful) I thought that this mouse was the kind of mouse that doesn't need instruction leaflet however, i had to read it. After, i found out how the battery is fitted, i tried to take the mouse apart however, it was not easy. I had to use some kind of extra piece of equipment to open it. When...

The bright mouse

Advantages: Less maintenance, cheap, reliable, connectivity options
Disadvantages: Still a corded mouse

...If we are surfing on ciao, chances are in one of our hands we have a mouse. However, not all mice are created equal. Here is a great little bargain mouse that removes a lot of the \"ball\" mouse headaches.....The Optical Wheel Mouse from Microsoft. Design/Ergonomics. Nice and contoured to your hand, its symetrical shape and slim sides makes it comfortable to hold for long periods of time.The sloped front and back allows it to sit directly in the palm of your hand without any aches or pains. Buttons are easy to reach and soft to touch. The slightest click is picked up but its sensors as is a turn of the centrally located scroll wheel. Usage. A nice responsive mouse that knows exactly where it is thanks to its bright red LED shining down on its control surface. Its accurate and does not suffer from the \"flicking around...

Review of Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical - mouse

A mouse in the house

Advantages: Easy to use
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. The tests are point, click and drag type tests so although the candidates do not need a great deal of knowledge about using a computer they still need to be able to use a mouse. This is where the optical wheeled mouse really comes into its...

^..^ Castrating the Mouse ^..^

Advantages: No ball to gather fluff, no tail to get in a tangle.
Disadvantages: Uses batteries.

...Hello, let me introduce myself. I am Mrs Farmer Giles and I am a dab hand with a carving knife. Before you run away in terror, please allow me to explain that I am a reformed character and time has moved on since Three Blind Mice. I am a thoroughly modern Farmer's wife now. Whilst Mr Giles is busy plucking birds for Christmas in the barn, I am buying him a nice pair of new wellies on the Internet all with the aid of my little white tail-less mouse. His name is Paddy. Paddy is a friendly little mouse and he is as good as gold. He is called Paddy because he is always to be found curled up on his soft mouse pad rug. In my reformation period Mr Giles was at his wits end. Whenever he let me loose on his PC, I found myself carving knife in hand and chopping the tail of any mouse that tried to run away. I got through a dozen mice...

Review of Apple Wireless Mouse mouse

Generally a good mouse

Advantages: Side scrolling, some may appreciate the size of the mouse (especially for desktops)
Disadvantages: Middle clicking the scroll wheel is difficult to do

...The mouse itself is quite big, its really made for desktops and although it'll work fine on laptops the mouse is quite large and the cord is lengthy so if you intend to use this mouse primarily on your laptop - it may fit the bill but the cord length may be a bit too big for some. This mouse uses laser tracking technology and I can see the big benefits of this over optical tracking. I can even use this mouse on my hand as precisely as I can on my desktop...it works on a few more surfaces in my house than my optical mouse. The tracking and cursor movement of this mouse is generally the same as other mouses. I've tried many mouses and some are more or erratically more sensitive than other mouses, and by that I mean the speed of the mouse in cursor movement compared to other mouses on the same speed setting. This mouse is fine, however...

Review of Logitech MX 400 Performance Laser Mouse - mouse

great cool mouse

Advantages: looks good, very wireless
Disadvantages: none

.... This mouse from Logitech is great not only for PCs and laptops but also for Macs as its white colour and cool shape looks quite like the current cool Mac mouse's. However its cheaper than buying a replacement Mac mouse and also its got three buttons as opposed to only having two like Mac mouse's have. It a very small shaped mouse however it fits nicely into your hands and its really easy to move about too. Its surface is kind of a nice shiny almost glass like white finish and feels really smooth and looks new no matter how old it is. It connects via 1.2 wireless Bluetooth technology and it can go quite a range away without losing signal. In fact it can be used up to 30 feet away from your pc Mac or laptop which could indicate a good mouse to control a home theatre pc in a living room. The only downside with most wireless...

Review of Logitech V470 Cordless Laser Mouse for Bluetooth - mouse

cool retro mouse

Advantages: good range
Disadvantages: a little big for a laptop

...Kensington Ci70LE Wireless Mouse In terms of design the mouse and its colours and pattern feature on top of it make it look very cool, however it appears to be an odd shape and a little bit big. Perhaps if you have huge hands then this might just be the perfect mouse for you but I myself prefer smaller more compact mouse's as opposed to big clumsy ones. It is however quite a nice red colour which is a colour you don't really see much in mouse's so if you have a laptop that is partially this colour or a pc that's this colour then perhaps this would suit it. The receiver is also in this red colour too which is nice to see as it matches quite well. I'm not sure it's a colour I like that much however it does make a change to the boring silver or black mouse and it does funk up your desktop a little. The wireless signal can reach...

Review of Kensington Ci70LE Wireless Mouse - mouse

The Mightiest Mouse!

Advantages: Simplistic yet beautiful design, brilliant trackball, re-assignable buttons
Disadvantages: Trackball may get dirty and hinder scrolling, but this is easily rectified with a thorough cleaning

...The Apple Wired Mighty Mouse is definitely the best mouse that I have ever used. Beautiful to the eye on the design front, this mouse is simple yet packed with features. Many people assume that this is a single-button mouse, due to the visual lack of a second button. However, this is not true - the Mighty Mouse actually has 5 buttons that can be re-assigned to whatever the user wants! The multi-directional trackball is also a fantastic feature that allows easy navigation of screens and can be clicked down as an additional button/ Used with a Mac, the two side buttons can be used to access Expose, and the traditional right-click can accessed through assigned by activating the right mouse button. I use the trackball as a button to also access the Dashboard function. Even though I use this with my iMac, I would highly recommend...

Review of Apple Mighty Mouse mouse

My little mouse friend

Advantages: Buttons galore, responsiveness
Disadvantages: A little hyper sensitive

...As I currently use a laptop at home I'm not actually much of a user of mice, however at work I do get to use a PC and a mouse (though in some limited capacity) so whilst sat down at work I decided to review the mouse I was using, as it seemed a rather unique one. As it's been a while since I really used mouses (or is it still mice?) the first thing I noticed was that is was neutered, this mouse (like many now a days I suppose) had no ball, it was an optical one with a red light instead of a ball. I assume work get these as people knick mice balls for some reason, a weird fetish perhaps. This was the first of a series of changes from what I was used to, the most obvious when touching it was just how long it was, the mouse seemed like it was on some sort of growth hormone and had grown an extra inch or two, perhaps it had been a lab...
