    Kind of a dumb question I'm asking here. Well, here it goes. Which mouse should I get for my old PC?
    Logitech Optical Mouse or Microsoft Wheel Optical Mouse
    They're both $14.99. I guess it all comes down to if Logitech or Microsoft is better. Please help me. Thanks!

    I would prefer the Logitech; unsurpassed customer service, great quality, and no red light in the tail end to bother your vision.

    Yeah, I had one, I couldn't stand it; very distracting. I took it back and got a Logitech instead, been happy every since! :D

    I use all Logitech products after converting from MS products, and have been very pleased.
