I didn't quite know which category to post this in, I hope this is the right one.
Anyway, a couple weeks ago I got an MS Wireless Laser Mouse 7000; it has a lot of handy features which work quite well; standard extra buttons, scroll wheel goes left+right as well as up+down, yada yada. Despite this, however, it's crap. Whenever I left-click, the spring under it squeaks like mad, both when I click and when I let go; squeak-squeak. Playing FPSs is a nightmare.
Also, with my old unbranded laser mouse, I was able to move my cursor down the screen without moving a pixel left or right, with this it's jumping all over the place., maybe 5-10 pixels either way, it's very difficult to target anything correctly. Just pressing the 'Submit New Thread' button down there is going to be difficult.
Anyway, I'm going to be sending this back; can anyone recommend a good mouse? Here are what I'm hoping for in it:
- Wireless - Not a necessity, but I watch tv on my comp, and I often take my mouse over to the sofa so I don't have to get up and click it
- At least two extra buttons - I've gotten so accustomed to having a back button on the mouse, makes everything so much easier.
- Right-handed - Also not a necessity, just nice. One good thing about the MS 7000 is that it's really well-designed ergonomically.
- Internal rechargeable battery - Would like this, obviously only with a wireless. I think I have a battery charger somewhere so probably not a necessity.
- Decent quality - I don't have any particular budget, under £50/$70 would be good.
Thanks all!
Edit: I did check to see if there was a 'recommended mouses' thread, couldn't find one.
