Agen Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 I'm determined to get an optical mouse now (keep forgetting) So do you think they're good? and what's the bad things about them? (i know but about certain mice) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrion Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 Optical mouses are a must. There's nothing bad about them(except that they can blind your eyes if the red light has contact with them..). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt-- Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 I highly recommend going to a computer show if you plan on uying anything computer related...you can get a quality optical mouse for under $10 US. The wireless keyboard and optical mouse I'm on now I got for $50, top o' the line. $100+ retail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kengo Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 They are great for gaming, more sensitive generally. They also look damn nice. The ones you can get that are also cordless are good I think, at least the Logitech one I got works great, no porblems with it suddenly not working or anything. Maybe the best thing with optical mice is how they work on any surface (except glass or cheese on toast). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImmolatedYoda Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 im am quite glad i got a Logitech optical mouse from my parents for christmas because my old mouse was jerking and would double-click through things when i didnt want it to. now i can game much better .

ckcsaber Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Mines great. No problem at all. Mines also cordless, and it works fine. They are much better than regular mice, especially because there is nno dust buildup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greedo626 Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 they're great. a must have for gamers:thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy867 Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 I love all of mine (all 4 for my computers in my house) and then I actually have a mouse that has NO buttons except for the scroller, and to click, you actually tilt the mouse to the left or right. So you are double-click the mouse, not a button. It also has a blue LED built inside which is powered through the data cable. its not for gaming, but looks cool since it is transparent.

Admiral_Ackbar8 Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 optical wireless mouse is what i have awesome!! goes up to 20 feet away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWhiteRaider Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 They are so much better than normal mice. You get spoiled on them. When I go over to my friends house I get bugged with the ball mouse he has. And also you do not have to clean the inside of the mouse(The lens at most that is it! I have not had to clean mine yet.)

teutonicknight Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Get an opitcal mouse, don't bother with a mechcanical IMO. Mechanical mice are too slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc Solar Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 An optical mouse is a must! I'd definitely take a cordless one too. I bought my Logitech ~6 months ago. It's way l337! I heard some bad stuff about non-Logitech mice. People say that they don't work well if the "receiver"-thingie is more than 5 inches away from the mouse..? One thing bothers me, though: My mouse feeds on batteries way too much, I think. I have to put in fresh ones every month! Is that normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCanr2d2 Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Definitely Optical all the way.... Lighter, quicker, smoother... Only problem is that sooner or later, the little harder plastic parts they use to keep the mouse from being flat on the surface will wear out. I still use a mouse pad with mine, so that it will last longer.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-s/<itzo- Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 yeas, optical mouse, highly recommended. i find it much easier to use especially with games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Warrior Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Optical mouse is the way to. I remember playing jk 1 and destroying my ball mouse trying to make my character turn around. THose were says. An optical mouse will definitely make your game more enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agen Posted January 14, 2003 Author Share Posted January 14, 2003 You sure you people aren't exxagerating? I mean i never, ever had any problems with my ordinary mouse - like moving or any thing jsut every few months o gotta clean the inside the wheeling things off the ball. My friend has an optical cordless mouse and it has problems. it like to go dead every whiel for a few seconds, my cousin has an ordianry optical mouse and it runs like a dream except recently the wire got bitted by a dog. I'll probably go ofr a m$ one cos they're good for graphics and that and have loads of buttons (no batteries (hate batteries)) Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
