linuxfan66 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 What is your favourite mouse technology, and are high-mousepads worth buying? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/50932-laser-vs-standard-optical-vs-ball-mice/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaspers Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 I'm using the mighty mouse on a 'corepad'. Works perfectly. Feels like the mouse is much more 'Expensive', yeah hard to explain, but its worth it. Ow and by the way, in my opinion, the wireless mighty mouse sucks, because it responds way to slow, I can work much more precisely with the wired mouse.

Alessandro17 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 As I wrote in another thread, since I bought a second hand Apple Pro keyboard I can't use my old Logitech MX700 any longer. For the life of me I can't make them work together, no matter how I connect them. Thus I am using a cheap (Eur 10) usb optical mouse (wired) which I happened to have at home. I might buy a mighty mouse, but it gives me a funny feeling.

cash68 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Avoid mighty mouses. They suck. After using one for a few days my hand started to hurt and ache. It's NOT very ergonomic. Mice should NOT cause pain. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/50932-laser-vs-standard-optical-vs-ball-mice/#findComment-366850 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zizou Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Back when I still gamed a rough 20 hours per week I bought the Razar Diamondback It was like 50 euros back then, still use it. Best mouse I ever had. (and indeed the Mighty mouse SUCKS. I used it too, just doesn't give you a good feeling.)

Paranoid Marvin Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Avoid mighty mouses. They suck. After using one for a few days my hand started to hurt and ache. It's NOT very ergonomic. Mice should NOT cause pain. Well, once you use it for a few months, the 5th finger that you have grown really helps! Admittedly, they are quite uncomforatable to use, but they are great once you get used to it Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/50932-laser-vs-standard-optical-vs-ball-mice/#findComment-367023 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabr Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I use the Logitech G5 (exactly the same as G7 but powered by USB instead of wireless). It's nice, but the Logitech control center driver does not detect my mouse.

NeSuKuN Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 G7 > all I don't care if Logitech's cp doesn't support it because I don't use the extra button. Having the battery meter in the mouse and supporting horizontal scroll and speed change is all I need.

Having the battery meter in the mouse and supporting horizontal scroll and speed change is all I need. I see what you are saying. Unless you want to adjust the sensitivity from default or reprogram buttons you don't need the drivers.
