| 603026 | 2007-10-19 04:32:00 | I have a W--e with very sensitive hearing????. THE CLICK CLICK CLICK of the mouse drives her !!!!, Keyboard less so. DID BUY a keyboard with pad a while but while less quite, there are still clicks and nowhere as quick and easy to use. Are the expensive gaming laser mouse's quite? any ideas? removing the w--e or PC from lounge not preferred option. |

| 603030 | 2007-10-20 04:01:00 | Buy a tablet, or if you have 6 grand lying around, one of these (www.gpstore.co.nz) goodies. Alternatively just get a tablet PC while you´re at it. | gnail (6819) | ||

| 603034 | 2007-10-20 08:44:00 | I have 2 mice - neither of them expensive models. I also have very good hearing. One is so quiet, I defy anyone not setting alongside me to hear anything from it. The other I can "just hear", but I find it hard to believe it could bother anyone else a few feet away.. So what model is this "noisy mouse" which upsets your wife? You say it's noisier than the keyboard. My keyboard is another matter entirely. It's also a cheapie, and yes, it does click. And anyone trying to listen to it would notice noise from close up. Which brings me to - what does your wife spend her day on? Obviously not an office setting... And what is she trying to do when the clicks "drive her !!!!!" ? That is, what are you disturbing? Even if she's fortunate to live in the country, that too has background noises. Most of us can mentally shut out extraneous noises - if we really want to... Have you considered that it may not be the noise that bothers her as much as the fact that you're tapping away when she has other ideas about how the time could be spent? Like talking to her instead of the computer? |
