I've probably already made a thread on this in the past, but that was a long time ago, so here goes again...
I'm looking for a decent mouse to use with my laptop. Here's the past mice:
-Microsoft wireless mobile mouse 6000- I loved the layout, but after 3 dead mice in 4 or 6 months, I bodged the last one together and used it until I upgraded laptops and then used:
-A4 tech G7-750D. I like how it has no optical sensor, and as result doesn't clog with dust. However, the button layout sucked (buttons 4 and five were on the left, not one on each side) and it feld kinda cheap. Not to mention it died a few days ago (the only pointer movement it produces is diagonal).
So, I'd like to ask if anybody has any suggestions for mice. A few general preferences:
-5 buttons, with buttons 4 and 5 on separate sides preferably.
-wireless USB- for laptop use, wireless really comes in handy (but if there is a wired mouse that does well in everything else, then I'll consider it).
-DURABLE- I'm tired of flimsy mice.
-not a ball-type... this is for a laptop, i don't want to lug a mousepad everywhere. As for the other types (optical, laser, a4 tech dust-free, etc.), if it works well, it's cool.
- not bluetooth... bluetooth and dualboots don't go well together (since both OS's share a MAC address, everytime you switch you must re-pair).
-4 way scrolling is a plus, if it works well. I also prefer scroll wheels that have a detent.
-Non-rechargeable... this is a laptop adfter all.
-I don't care if it's a "laptop" sized mouse or not...
so, keep your suggestions coming.
