Time for a random poll I think, this time about mice.

 

Option 1 - Laptop with standard inbuilt mouse control, either a touch-pad or the small ball with buttons at the bottom.

Option 2 - A standalone mouse which plugs in via the usb port

Option 3 - Wired mouse, as in the mouse is connected directly to the computer via a wire

Option 4 - Wireless mouse, the main mouse doesn't have a wire connecting it to the computer

Desktop with wireless mouse :)

 

Which eats up batteries like there is no tomorrow :(

I've got that at my parents' house. I don't like it because I always have to charge it for a few hours before using it.

I have the basic version with a couple AA batteries in it, not a posh internal battery.

What about those who don't use a mouse at all??:rolleyes:

Desktop with a wired mouse.

 

I paid three bucks for this optical mouse about years ago at the Thrift Store.

Laptop with wireless mouse. A nice Logitech one matching the laptop (both laptop and mouse are red), which can be turned off. :)

 

I use wireless mouse for my desktop too, but that one eats up batteries on nothing, if I don't take the batteries out. :uneasy:

 

Both optical.

Should me a computer which doesn't require a mouse of some sorts then ;)

There are laptops with some kind of ball in the middle (which isn't a mouse), and there is now touch-screen technology available.:smug:

Another question is, does your mouse (assuming it's not built-into your laptop) have a ball or is optical or one of the new lasers

Like this:

 

With a trackpoint ball thing mounted in the keyboard with buttons at the bottom?

 

You will find those come under option 1, as they are in effect an inbuilt mouse control on a laptop :smug: (and are annoying to use for long periods)

i use a normal PC mouse, so is wire... it has some red light... (which i think is not good)

 

i don't know well in which category is mine, since i use it for a laptop.

But is it optical or balled Nick?

that's so old school:dozey:

Option 4. What are wires? My mouse does not know.

50-50 for the touch pad on a laptop, and a wired optical mouse at a desktop. Some days I use the laptop a little more, others the desktop depending on what other people are using.

 

It took a while to get really good at the touch pad, but I quite like it. I really don't get why everyone else hates it so much. :inquisitive: It's so intuitive.

Option 2 - A standalone mouse which plugs in via the usb port

 

This. :D

Right now I'm using option 1
