Black Rose Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Ding Dong. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petit Prince Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 I have the basic version with a couple AA batteries in it, not a posh internal battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc_squared Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 What about those who don't use a mouse at all??:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeyousoon35 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Desktop with a wired mouse. I paid three bucks for this optical mouse about years ago at the Thrift Store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clocks In My Place Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 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.

Black Rose Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 Should me a computer which doesn't require a mouse of some sorts then ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc_squared Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 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: 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Cadet Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
