They haven't made these in years...wasn't popular selling-wise, but those like me who have one...never go back to anything else :)

Re: whats everyone using to control there pc these days ?

I'm still on my MX Laser and G7 cordless mice from Logitech. They last.

Re: whats everyone using to control there pc these days ?

+1 for logitech, though I haven't gone laser yet. Optical has been working just fine. I have one of those USB wireless optical mice for my lappie. the Battery on that sucker is incredible thanks to the auto-sleep function. going on 4 months now and only 71% consumed so far.

Re: whats everyone using to control there pc these days ?

I use a wired Might Mouse, servng me fine. But have been checking out the VX Revolution and Nano. One of them, or the next version, will be my next upgrade.

i,m currently using one right now, worst mouse i,ve ever set eyes on lol

i also have a logitech keyboard and mouse which like u say last but unfortunately the shap of them are leading to rsi and quick

Re: whats everyone using to control there pc these days ?

^^ Your Logitech keyboard isn't 0 degree? I was on a cordless for many years but it finally started acting up so I'm on the first version G15 since I found it for $10. No complaints so far. My brother is on one of those diNovo's but it's like a laptop and I can't stand laptop keyboards.

my desktop has one of these and unfortunately my hands are a little big for the size of the mouse which can be a pain when moving @ speed and trying to get accuracy, its all too easy to press the button too hard as well !

Re: whats everyone using to control there pc these days ?

I swear by razer mice :RockOn:

love my G7

Re: whats everyone using to control there pc these days ?

MS explorer 3.0 does the trick for me. im thinking on getting the razer deathadder now.

Re: whats everyone using to control there pc these days ?

MS Wireless Optical mouse 2.0. Been using it for a good 3 years or so and it works just as good as it did when I bought it.

hahahaha well they weren't built for looks that's for sure ;)

I just love where the trackball is; much better control, feel, and speed...and the 5 buttons help too...

Mine has seen the wear & tear no doubt..USB cable is frayed inside and tends to act up sometimes, had to re-solder the ribbon inside back together after taking it apart a few times...but I think I've had this thing like 8 years now :RockOn:

Re: whats everyone using to control there pc these days ?

Logitech track ball!!! PWNING nOObs since day 1!

Re: whats everyone using to control there pc these days ?

so i bought the gun today....i must say its very very very good not as demanding on the hands as most of your hand is rested on the surface...a good buy

i found the ball to do nothing but get stuck or rather scrape against the inside plastic which causes it to go stiff and become basically useless lol, hated it ever since i bought it
