Got me a new mouse

Postby Mr. Chris » Thu Feb 11, 2010 5:14 pm

I loved my G5, but it's 2 years old and worse for the wear. Right click not working all the time, scroll wheel intermittent. So I got a new G500. Nice. Nice. Nice. Fits my hand perfect. Lots of buttons and change DPI on the fly. Love it!

I had to replace my mouse too. I have used a logitech trackball mouse for over ten years and replace it with another trackball. The one thing I hate doing is picking up a mouse and moving it around. That drives me nuts and the other thing I hate is double click.

My friend Adam swears by his Logitech trackball, I just can't get used to them. One thing over the years that I must have with any mouse is the back button. And this one has a small switch you can turn off the click on the scroll wheel. Plus, the onboard memory stores your gaming profiles, if you do that kind of thing. I prefer not to install the extra software, tho. ;)

I just got a Logitech MX5500 KB and Mouse to replace an ailing arthritic mouse and a KB that saw a few too many drinks.

I hear you about moving and Mice wearing out, I'm usually good for a year, at best with any mouse made. Then I squeeze out as much more time as I can.

Back in the day when I was working full time, I'd change them out constantly. Times change though as you know, Scavy. ;)

I loved it when I could buy anything I wanted, as brief as that was. :banghead:

Having said that, my Razer Habu is still hanging in there. it isn't that old, I've had it about a year I suppose.

I like this one!! :: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6826153017 (I'm a Razer kinda guy)

Again I feel your pain Bro!! Be there done that, Scav~

I only I bought my 1st Wife got somehow!! I just wanted her and didn't care about such things, it was a Brand NEW House 3 bedroom, two car garage Laundry room, SWEET set-up,

smack dab in the middle of Silicon Vally, worth today (well a year ago, about 800K Plus. Letting her sell it was one of the BIGGEST mistakes I've ever made. She was Beautiful though

Build like a 10 (Ten) but will huge ass boobs!! :mrgreen: Back then my other head did all the thinking for me, LOL!! :mrgreen: I wish I know what I know now when I was there back then!! :banghead: :oops:

A tragedy it was. I was in a Home Owners Club thingy. We had a Pool there too, all the lawns were mowed by the HOU. I bought it when the Interest rates were 13%, I could have re-financed it (@4.5%) and had it payed for

now, I put 15K Down on it,it was 80K at the time. However it doesn't stop there, oh NOOOOO!! I went on to make many, many more lousy decisions in my life, OMG!!

I had a nice older Chevy Pick Up S-Series. a Brand new Mazda, GLC Custom sedan, looked like a BMW!! A Dodge Mini MotorHome, and a Motorcycle, my beloved KAWI Triple 500/2 Stroke ROCKET!!

I've lost thousands of dollars over the years too. Crap I shold be looking pretty now, but nope. Worst than ever. All I really have are Great friends. Which is probably more important.

Oh Mice, this the one your getting? Kinda High at New Egg IMO. :: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... _-26105255

That does look like it has a learning curve. I don't care for Mice that need Batteries myself, but who cares? If you get this one, but a Rechargeer and 8 Batteries (rechargeable) as they will poop out in the middle of a Game.

Nice though, way to much $$$$$$$$$$ for a Damn Mouse though, :shock: 80 bucks!! :shock: My limit is like 50 for a mouse. Always buy wired Mice too, laser. You'll get used to it quick, no worries there.

Gee you'd think for 80 bucks it'd be a LED mouse!! :grin:
