Board 8 > I am in the market for a great wireless laptop mouse

(+) Yeah! (+)

I got my old one for free with my laptop and though it has serviced me fine, I don't like how sporadic the cursor can be. I have been using Excel a lot and I want to start playing all those Steam games I have purchased over the years and it is time to change my mouse so that doing those tasks won't likely not be frustrating.

I have just a few criteria (in descending order of priority):

1. As stated earlier, it is very responsive and hardly ever "goes crazy"

2. Doesn't have an unorthodox physical design that makes it uncomfortable. I have used some that curve heavily to the right, make you used some sort of ball to move the cursor, and some more bizarre **** that is not what I want in a mouse.

3. Price is under $50. This isn't all that important but it does influence when I will be getting it.

Looking on Amazon, the highest rated ones are part of the Logitech M305 series and it is reasonably priced at around $20:

I just want to know if anybody has any recommendations/has experience with the Logitech M305

I use what is basically that logitech mouse, and i've never had a problem with it. It's responsive, the plug in is small and discreet and never needs to be taken out. I have to change the battery once every two months probably, though, but other than that it's been wonderful.

I've been using that M305 mouse for the last two months and it has never given me any problems. I really like it a lot.

I've got a 3500 series microsoft mouse and it's served me well the past year. It's on the small side, which I like because it's easy to fit it in your pocket and easier (at least for me) to control. And it's like twenty or fifteen bucks iirc.

Oh, but you gotta replace its batteries every couple weeks. Which probably has to do with me going on gaming binges and using it nonstop for a few days at a time >_>;

Well, I will probably get the Logitech one then

Oh wait, it said it worked with XP or Vista and I have Windows 7. I will check out that 3500 Microsoft one

On Microsoft's website, it says that the Logitech mouse is compatible with Windows 7, but I will look up some more to see if people have a bunch of problems with it on it

Why do you need a wireless mouse? Are you using your mouse like 10+ feet away from your computer?

I use one because the USB port is on the left side of the computer and I hate needing to wrap the wire around the back.

Well, I just placed an order for the M305. My old one was some sort of HP Mini by the way
