Hp Laser Mouse - Glide with HP

Advantages: It Works
Disadvantages: It's just the basic mouse, no thrills

... HP USB Laser Mouse Introduction Continuing on my theme of objects that I use at work, the HP USB laser mouse, and a fine mouse indeed it is. Laser mice were initially pioneered by Sun Micro Systems in 1998 but did not gain prominence in the market till 2004 with Logitech. Since then it has dominated the mice market. Improvements from Medieval Mice Its major advantage was not having a ball which aided in two ways: a) the ball would no longer attract filth like a feather duster on a cat, thus improving on performance and b) school children could not steal the little ball inside. The other major benefit was its ability to work without a mouse pad meaning that the ?novelty mouse pad? market deceased as quickly as it started. It also has the ability to work on nearly any surface, including chair arms, jeans...

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...

Review of Dell 5-Button Premium USB Optical Mouse - mouse

A political synopsis of a mouse

Advantages: It's a wheel...and a ball...and George and Fidel
Disadvantages: It's all a wee bit Stalin-esque

...Back to mouses, this time my mums mouse, which I just realised was a Fujisu Siemens (my my the germans will love it already). The mouse comes in two colours either black or silver, my mum has the black version (she's too poor for a silver mouse), with a "not quite black" ball (yes this mouse has a ball, a single ball...just like Hitler..althought I doubt this mouse ever went to the albert hall, or persecuted a religion). As well as the ball it as a simple "clickable" scroll wheel...useful for erm...scrolling, and should be used in conjunction with google image searches fella's (we all know you do it, so theres some advice...use a bloody scroll wheel, tis easier to do one handed). As well as 1 ball, 1 wheel (sounds like some weird Dyson invention "The scroll-ball mouse"), it features 2 buttons, the left button and the right button...

Review of Fujitsu USB MC100 - mouse

Have a mouse problem? No cat required!

Advantages: Sleek design, lightweight, quality construction
Disadvantages: None

...I use the Dell Optical USB Mouse at work. I am a fan of mice with scrolling wheels and certainly I feel lost when using a mouse without one. And so it was for this reason that when my last mouse finally gave up the ghost, that I requested that our IT department provide me with an optical mouse with a scroll wheel. The mouse itself is silver and a weird kind of blacky blue colour which fits in well with my pc itself. Whereas I find that a lot of mice can be difficult to hold for long periods, due to their cumbersome size, the Dell optical mouse is different. Maybe it is just conveniently sized for my hands, but I find this mouse extremely comfortable to use for long periods during the day at work. The size ------------ The mouse itself measures 12cm x 6cm with two large sized buttons at the front and one smooth scroll wheel...

Review of Dell Optical USB Mouse with Wheel - mouse

Logitech Optical MX310 USB mouse.

Advantages: Great reliable and perfect laptop /desktop buddy.
Disadvantages: Conflicts with one piece of 3rd party software. - explained later.

...wireless keyboard/ mice to web cams and beyond! THE PACKAGE : = From the pic below you can see the packaging, nothing special, it?s what?s inside that we want! So you get the MX310 optical mouse, a cute little cd with the latest version of "mouseware" - the software used to run this mouse. Although you can use it as simple plug and play without installing drivers etc on Windows 98, 2000, Me and XP. However only basic features like movement, left and right click and scroll are used, the additional buttons in the middle of the mouse on each side are disabled. You also get a USB to PS2 ( old styled mouse / keyboard connection ) so you can use it in a PS2 port instead of USB if this is needed, pretty neat and very handy at times! It comes in a lovely bright green so you can?t miss it ! FEATURES : = Being...

Genius Wireless USB Keyboard and Optical Mouse

Advantages: Wireless, Relativly cheap, Durable, Initially get rechargeable batteries
Disadvantages: Need to eventually buy new batteries, Problems with low power.

...essential in all modern mice. It has an optical laser so can be used on any surface. Both the keyboard and the mouse are wireless and their signal is picked up by a smart receiver come battery charger. The feature of being wireless is great for people who use spaces for multiple purposes such as a written work/study area as well as for using a PC. It plugs into a standard USB A slot. The box comes with 6 rechargeable AA batteries, user manual and a driver CD. The rechargeable batteries are a great addition to the pack however I found after a few months of use they did not hold the charge as well and did not last. This means eventually you will be using regular batteries which is obviously more expensive than using wired keyboard and mouse equivalents. When the battery power in either the mouse or keyboard gets low it can lead to...

Review of Genius Wireless TwinTouch+ Optical Value - keyboard , mouse

Bridging the USB-PS/2 gap

Advantages: allows you to use PS/2 devices on a USB port, cheap, easy
Disadvantages: none

...Well isn't this a nifty little device? Doesn't it get annoying when you don't have enough space to plug in more PS/2 devices to your PC? PS/2 is becoming obsolete now and sometimes you will get computers without ports for them, including one of my laptops. Another problem with PS/2 ports are that they are always hard to get to; not only will you never find one on a frontal port section (on the front of a PC case) but at the back they are always buried under wires! Also, people with less knowledge about computers would be unlikely to know what a PS/2 port looks like, but will probably know what a USB port looks like! Anyway, I was getting annoyed at my latest laptop for not having any PS/2 ports, since I was planning to use it for gaming and my favourite keyboard and mouse for gaming are both USB. So I went back to the shop I bought...

THE MOUSE THAT WON'T DIE.

Advantages: Never lets me down.
Disadvantages: Not as stylish as some.

...I don't know why, but I seem to kill mice. During the last year, I have managed to kill 3, two cordless ones (one that woke me in the middle of the night and got throttled, and the other two that just didn't do what a mouse is supposed to do and were too sluggish to be considered viable any more). Every time this happens, what do I do ? I revert to this Trust mouse that I put in the cupboard in favour of fancy ones. Why ? Well it never dies. It is always there, and although it has hand marks on it and looks worn at the edges, it still gives perfect function. When I bought this mouse, it was because it was within my price range at the time. I wanted a mouse that works and didn't really care much about the styling. It's a dark grey with a purple scrolling button and silver right and left click buttons. It is basic but at a price tag...

Review of Trust Ami Mouse 250S Optical USB - mouse

Wacom Intuos3 A4 USB Special Edition

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...

Review of Wacom Intuos3 A4 USB - mouse, digitizer, stylus

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...
