What do you think about using the wireless mouse?

I bought one. It ran out of batteries in no time and then didn’t work and I didn’t get around to buying more batteries. I went back to a mouse with a cord.

Love them. Haven’t used a mouse with a cord in years. I really like Logitech mice, especially the ergonomic variety. I also have a Dell travel mouse (because it’s small and uses bluetooth to connect, instead of a usb plugin thingy), which is somewhere in the 3-stars range – not great (sometimes has some connectivity problems) but also one of the only options at the time, so much better than a normal wireless mouse.

I think it’s annoying. Sometimes I’ll be tediously working on something on my computer,.. only to find that the mouse has run out of batteries. So then I must run and find some batteries… harumph..

I love mine. It’s a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse combo, and while I do have to replace the mouse batteries fairly often, I’ve only ever replaced the keyboard ones once. Not having cords to deal with is bliss.

I use one. Does not use batteries either, but gets its power from the mousepad via induction. It does restrict the movement area a bit, but We will adapt.

I have a Microsoft Wireless mouse 5000 and I would never go back to a corded mouse. It glides over the desk without the need of a pad which makes it very convenient. Batteries aren’t a problem. I use rechargeable and replace them every four or five months.

Welcome to Fluther.

I use two, but I haven’t used “the cheap ones” since forever. I have one for my computer at work, and another for my home machine.

I use Logitech mice with “nano” receivers (the USB antenna that sticks out about the length of an exposed toenail from the case of the laptops). So I generally leave the receiver plugged into the computer and the mouse “on” 24×7. Battery life is fine, and the convenience is unbeatable.

I use a logitech and yes, sometimes it needs new batteries but what doesn’t these days. AA and AAA batteries are ubiquitous. I am glad I can use it anywhere on my desk without having a cord dragging through my papers.

To add to my previous response, I have now migrated to wireless headphones for my work computer, too. The only drawback to them is that I have to recharge them (they don’t have removable batteries) every other day that I use them. Still, the convenience of not having to watch a wire as I move in my cubicle is great.

Flaky and undependable. I don’t like them at all.

I have used a GE wirless mouse for two years. I have had no problems at all. I was smart enough to buy extra batteries, when I purshed the mouse.

Two batteries last about six months.

I Have One But I Dont Use It…I Like The Touch Pad Better

I have a cheaper Logitech mouse that i’ve had for years and I’ve never run into any problems. Only have to replace them maybe twice a year with cheapo dollar store batteries.

My only problem with this particular mouse is that it’s kinda unevenly heavy at the bottom.

Mine went through batteries in about a month. It wasn’t a cheap one. Perhaps it was faulty or there was a problem with the batteries.

I love my Logitech cordless mouse! And I also use the Logitech cordless keyboard. I love the convenience of not having to deal with cords. Granted, sometimes you do have to replace the batteries, but that is no big deal.

I love having a wireless mouse. You can get a good one for around 29$ or less sometimes, but that seems to be the limit for a good enough one. You have to replace the batteries every once in while, big deal, it’s well worth it. Logitech or Microsoft wireless mice are both pretty good. I don’t even want a wired mouse anymore.
