Were you holding it too tight Gary?? I can't quite see how smallish hands caused the mouse to die!

1333251 2013-03-20 20:05:00 I would like to thank everyone who came up with suggestions. In the end I settled on a Logitech couch mouse M515 mainly on the basis if it didn't suit I could pass it on to the wife to use with her laptop. However I have found it suitable and physically comfortable. When I first tried it the cursor moved like a demented recently sprayed fly. I down loaded the Logitech software and managed to alter the settings to get the cursor movement under control. Sadly I can't get my computer to remember the setting so I have to reset it every time I turn the computer on, a minor inconvenience which I can put up with. tutaenui (1724)
1333252 2013-03-20 20:20:00 Did you click "Apply" when changing the Cursor parameters

The M515 looks like it can be used with either hand,I have the M705 and would not change from this

That can do it. One of our children was leading a mouse around the living room with a length of wool - Mrs Micro tripped over it and the mouse died of fright

Go into control panel, and mouse settings. Adjust the pointer speed down.

Especially if you are like me and never remember to turn it off. dugimodo (138)
