| 765809 | 2009-04-17 07:04:00 | Hi Everyone! Im looking to buy a good mice under $50 Any ideas for a good mice? I was thinking of the Genius Ergo 555... $50 is the absoloute maximum, I plan on using the mice for the long-haul (5 years) I know this sounds like a long time, but then, im cheap. I need a mouse that is ergonomic, because i will be using it for CAD and occasional gaming. What I dont want is a plain 3 button mice that you can get for $5 from the warehouse (Bragging Rights and Status you see :cool:) Thanks! |

| 765811 | 2009-04-17 08:01:00 | I have a wireless notebook 6000 from MS on my desktop as I have small hands and the notebook mice tend to be smaller. I don't particularly like wired mice. But I see you want mice possibly try your local pet store....... | gary67 (56) | ||

| 765813 | 2009-04-17 08:21:00 | Personally I would avoid genuis if possible. From this (www.xsreviews.co.uk) it seems that the mouse is good, but has a few fatal flaws. Get something like the MX518 (pconlineshop.co.nz) or the MX400 (pconlineshop.co.nz), if you don't need 100 macro buttons... Unless you're a hardcore gamer I doubt you will see much difference between the laser mice, so just get which ever one you feel most comfortable with. Blam |

| 765815 | 2009-04-18 03:48:00 | Blam/Pctek: :oYeah, i was a bit weary of going with Genius, it looked too "fishy" and not much of a reputation compared to Logitech DeSade: Let the poor man find comfort in his little pet :wub lol gary67: yes i want mice as well, unfortunatly my neigbour's cat seems to think that anything with a tail is its lunch :annoyed: chilling_silence: The mice that you showed me looked like rip-offs (sorry, but there seemed to be no flashy lights or thumb grips, and that kind of stuff) Although the V320 looked good :) Forgive my spelling and grammer, its a messs:groan: |

| 765816 | 2009-04-18 04:03:00 | I wouldn't get the logitech V series if I were you...they're made for laptops, and are much smaller than normal mice. Here are some options maybe: www.trademe.co.nz www.trademe.co.nz www.trademe.co.nz Blam |
