what kinda mouse?

Posted: 09-03-2003, 06:07 PM
I have the ms track ball explorer 1. The ball is dragging to bad to use so I'm in the market for a new mouse...I went to the roller ball mouse cause of my tennis elbow but am wondering which mouse is the most precise for detail?
thanks in advance,
Terri

Optical.

I personally LOVE my Mouseman 2+ Optical mouse. Great contoured design; fits perfectly in the palm of my hand. Has 4 buttons and a scroll wheel. It's a couple years old, and probably has been phased out by now, but there should be a comparable mouse in the current Logitech line.

I prefer to use a small graphics tablet, it beats any mouse or tracker ball
I have ever used.

If the ball isdragging, but didn"t used to, you simply need to clean it is all. Remove the ball (they pop out)and wipe the three little rollers with a VERY barely damp, soft cloth to get all the gagas out. You'd be surprized how much dust and oils from your hand collect in there! Wipe down the ball before you replace it, too.

When I used ball mice, I cleaned the rollers and the ball with a Q-tip and 90% isopropyl alcohol (NOT rubbing alcohol with oil! NO!!!) For really crusty build-up on the rollers, I'd scrub them off with a hard ink eraser.

Go Optical, and leave the cleaning behind. And cut the cord and go wireless...just make sure you start using rechargable batteries or you'll go broke buying throw-aways.

I like my use MS Optical Intellimouse Explorer for Bluetooth quite well, except for the long name. ;) The price is steep too at around $80. Prior to that I used the corded Optical Intellimouse but it is now doing duty as my mouse at work. The beauty of the latter mouse is that it is smaller than many of the newer contoured mice, plus it is ambidextrous so lefties need not be concerned. The precision of both mice seems suitable for Photoshop but for high precision I still grab my pen instead. The Intellipoint driver software for the MS optical mice is also quite nice in allowing you to customize the mouse button functionality.

Regards,

Daryl

I have both the Intellimouse Explorer Optical (corded) and one from Logitech. I like the logitch MUCH better and they claim to have a more precise optical engine, which, I must admit, seems to be true.

This is the one I bought:

I just love my Logitech MX700. The most precise mouse I've ever had
and I've had many.
