| 659878 | 2008-04-18 02:24:00 | Ok with wifey and kid sick, I'm working on the wifes machine and I have noticed her mouse is a tad poked about 1 out every 10 mouse clicks becomes a slow double click, I realise the days of dismantling and repairing your own mce are gone. But I am having issues finding a replacement the wifes mice is A4 Tech WOP-35PU I can't seem to find it anywhere, and it must be 4 - 5 years old I don't necessarily need the same model (although that would be nice), but the wife is very used to this mouse so I want one that is Corded (we have a toddler who likes putting things in unique places) optical (cause little fingers wouldmake mincemeat of a ball mouse) a forward and back button on either side of the mouse, and a fairly symmetrical design as one of the Kids is a lefty A reasonable price, $40 max 4-5 buttons There seem to be loads in the US but I can'tseem to find any locally, I haven't trawled the NZ Net sites yet, but yes I have looked at pricespy but unfortunately I have to check each mouse as they don't say on the pricespy listings the number of buttons and there are no images |

| 659879 | 2008-04-18 03:02:00 | Good luck Nigel - I had to find a specific mouse for my SWMBO too and oh boy, was it a struggle. Solved it by taking her to Harvey Norman's and Warehouse Stationary and got her to pick a new one. She did, although not totally willingly ("I luuuuuuved my old mouse"). sarel |

| 659881 | 2008-04-18 03:46:00 | I've almost exclusively used MS ones - they're easy to get used to. Explain to yer missus that a new model/shape/design will only take a few days to get used to and she'll never look back. | Greg (193) | ||
| 659882 | 2008-04-18 04:21:00 | www.pricespy.co.nz That one is 5 button, symmetrical design, meets all your requirements :) |

| 659884 | 2008-04-18 06:18:00 | Always used the symmetrical optical Microsoft usb with ps/2 connection, and can customize the left and right menu's with a wide selection of menu's. Cost about $60 about 3 yrs ago at the stationary warehouse, and no problems. Maybe check out these one's at NZ's C1 shopping Mall (www.c1com.co.nz) | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||

| 659886 | 2008-04-18 22:01:00 | Logitech or MS. A4 aren't too great. |

| 659887 | 2008-04-19 00:01:00 | Logitech or MS. A4 aren't too great. Yeah I realise that it's just this mouse has been really reliable on a machine that the kids batter the heck out of. Anyway i'm leaning towards the intellimouse optical (c1com.co.nz) cheapest seems to be about $40 including shipping so I'll probably look at purchasing a couple of other things at the same time |
