krets Paranoid (IV) Mad Scientist From: KC, KS Insane since: Nov 2002	posted 05-17-2003 21:04 Got myself a new toy yesterday with a gift cert I had for Best Buy. It's a cordless optical mouse from Logitech that uses rechargable batteries. It has a cellphone style charger that you pop it in whenever you're not using your computer to keep it charged. It also has a few extra buttons above and below the scroll wheel that you can configure however you want. Right now I have the two arrow buttons configure for "Cruise Up" and "Cruise Down." It's like Page Up and Down only a lot smoother and quicker. Great for reading long Asylum threads. I also set one for cut and one for paste earlier when I was doing a lot of editing on a web page. That was really handy. The very bottom button has the same effect as pushing Alt + Tab. It allows you to cycle through all of your open programs quickly without mousing down to the taskbar or putting down your beer with your free hand. Very cool toy. :::krets.net:::

asptamer Paranoid (IV) Inmate From: The Lair Insane since: Apr 2003	posted 05-18-2003 04:13 I bought a cordless optical mouse from logitech a year ago or so, but to my disappointment the latency of mouse-to-cursor was so big, that it was impossible to use it. I would move the mouse, and a second later the cursor would move. Does your cursor move as rapidly as when using the good old cord mice? Btw, How much was it?
