    I bought a MS intellimouse from Staple yesterday for my gf. I found that this mouse is not as precise as my wire mouse for gaming. Which wireless mouse would you suggest me to buy?

    This is not a hardware question. Doesn't it make sense that it would go in the accessories forum?

    Move it on out...

    Personally, I like Logitech's line of mice. I'm a wired fan, because where I use a mouse I'm usually stationary, so why waste batteries (or have rechargeables die at the worst possible time)?

    I've had my mouse for about two months and have yet to change the single AA battery. I'm stationary most of the time too and prefer the freedom of being wireless. By the way, I've got the Microsoft Wireless Notebook Laser Mouse 6000. It's not too small, is very repsonsive, and has decent range. Looks good too.

    I've seen the wireless mouse mouse at Staples and Office Depot, it's pretty nifty where the dongle fits into the mouse itself. Just to let you know, that mouse has been out for a while now, there's a newer version of it out now. Don't know the model number of it, You can look for that one, it's small, ergonomic and the dongle fits into the unit still. There's also Logitech's V500, the dongle also fits into the mouse. I like those, so losing them won't be that easy. ;)

    Come on V400, come to meeeeeeeee!!!!

    Wireless notebook mouse? Or wireless mouse in general?

    The v500 is not a bad choice, but the scroll'pad' needs some getting used to

    I have a V500, bur i'am looking for another mouse, because this one is very small.
    The next one will be one with a real scrollwheel.
