monte70car Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 I have a usb mouse on my desktop never had a issue with it until now. My issue is I have to double click everything because its not picking up the first click, is this a sign that my mouse is giving up on me? The mouse is about 5 years old. Quote
Capri's 71 SS Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 speaking of mice - we are on our 2nd one & Greg has had to clean the rollers & clean the ball and then it starts acting stupid - doesn't roll, etc. Are wireless mice any better or is that a stupid question? A mouse is a mouse right? Quote
monte70car Posted July 20, 2009 Author Posted July 20, 2009 Wireless goes though battiers like crazy or at least my did. I did order a new usb mouse from newegg.com I keep forgetting about them. Any way i got a little more then a mouse but ive been needing a new video card for a while. Mouse wise I'm going from a 4 button mouse to an 8 button one, still usb port. I gave up on the ball style mouse years ago when i went wireless for both keyboard and mouse. Quote
sspdfreek Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 I just picked up a new mouse today. A rocketfish wired optical mouse. So far it's great. I didn't want one that needed batteries or recharging. It was only $21 at BestBuy. It was honestly one of the only wired mice they had. It's replacing a 2 year old mouse that the wire had started to frey at the connector and i don't really care for exposed wiring. It has a really cool feature that the scroll wheel can actually be pushed left and/or right so it scrolls sideways too, not just up and down. Quote
footballubet Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Here's a picture of the wired mouse I picked up recently. My old one was acting funny. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Quote
monte70car Posted July 20, 2009 Author Posted July 20, 2009 my current mouse is an HP and the scroll whell on it moves left and right and it has a homepage button for the internet. Quote

Capri's 71 SS Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 hmmm an optical mouse? guess I have some checking up to do - is that what the link was you posted? Quote
Capri's 71 SS Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 I really need to get out of my bubble - I just checked Target.com and they do not even sell mouses with a ball. Why does Dell gives these anymore?!?!? (dumb question). Â I am going to newegg right now to get me that cheap optical mouse. That will make Greg so very happy Quote
monte70car Posted July 20, 2009 Author Posted July 20, 2009 Capri its the same reason why HP sends the ball style mouse its cheap. Optical mouse or a laser mouse are nice here my new mouse http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826104178 which look like it was shipped today computer work by wenesday Quote
monte70car Posted July 20, 2009 Author Posted July 20, 2009 You know Allan I haven't figured out what to do with 8 buttons myself. Hopefully the video card I have coming is good or the desktop is pulling double time, music sever and a game computer. Quote
Capri's 71 SS Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 :lmao: you ain't kidding!! And if you can imagine me confused with 8 buttons you can never imagine what Greg would be like!! Quote
Capri's 71 SS Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Got the new optic mouse yesterday and it is beautiful!! Moves around like it is on air! Quote
monte70car Posted July 23, 2009 Author Posted July 23, 2009 good to heard Capri which one you get? I got to wear track shoes to keep up with mine it moves to fast, hmmm I wonder if its because of the setting I have it on. Quote
Capri's 71 SS Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 I dunno - a microsoft one with a cool red glowing light that was $9.95 Quote
